The best carrots in Australia come from Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia. Diced or cut into batons, they should be cooked in salted water with a knob of butter and a suspicion of sugar added. Serve immediately, adding butter to taste and finishing with snipped chervil leaves; alternatively the cooked carrots may be puréed in a blender before serving.
