About Wandercooks

On this site you’ll find a collection of flavour-packed recipes inspired by our wandering adventures around the world. Strongly influenced by Asian and Australian flavours, get ready to explore your favourite dishes from Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Australia and beyond.

Each recipe is supported with detailed step by step instructions, photos, tips and useful substitutes so you can recreate every dish effortlessly in your own kitchen. You’ll also find helpful recipe videos embedded on almost every post, or you can also check them out on YouTube.

We hope our recipes inspire you to:

  • Discover food from different cultures and share the experiences with friends and family
  • Get creative in the kitchen and trust your instincts to make a recipe your own
  • Learn new techniques to make your cooking easy, efficient and enjoyable
  • Understand your ingredients (sourcing, cooking, storing and substituting)

And most importantly… have fun experimenting and exploring a world of cuisines, ingredients and flavours, and enjoy the whole experience of cooking!

Meet Sarah & Laura

Sarah and Laura in their kitchen.

“Since launching Wandercooks in 2015, we’ve travelled through most of Asia and Europe, lived in Japan, and stayed with locals to learn what they really eat for breakfast. Our passion to discover new cuisines and recreate delicious world recipes has grown to now reach millions of people cooking our recipes annually.”

For over 10 years we’ve made it our mission to empower you with recipes that are easy to make and savour, and suitable for all levels of cooking experience.

We love experimenting in the kitchen, and cooking together is our favourite form of entertainment. It’s a great way to learn about other cultures while discovering intriguing flavours and ingredient combinations.

It’s our goal to demystify ingredients that tend to sit at the back of your fridge and pantry, and integrate them into your everyday cooking.

As cooking-obsessed foodies, we cook, photograph, write and create videos for every single recipe on this site.

Fun Facts about Sarah & Laura

  • We’re married and live in Adelaide, South Australia, with our happy little cavoodle Bonnie.
  • When we first got together we cooked for 6 months without repeating a single recipe, and remain endlessly fascinated by food, especially from Asian cuisines.
  • We once dared each other to eat crickets (cooked, of course) in Thailand and they were DELICIOUS. (Think popcorn chicken – tasty, crispy and you don’t want to stop at just one!)
