Australian Bush Cooking

Book excerpt: From roasts to rissoles, salads to savouries and dampers to desserts, Australian Bush Cooking will help bring a tempting new twist to your camp cooking whether it's over an open fire, on a gas cooker or in your caravan's or camper's kitchen. More than a recipe book, there are details on the different types of bush cooking gear, advice on menu planning and hints on building the right type of cooking fire, and even the fading art of how to make a great cup of billy tea. The easy and tempting recipes have all been planned for simplicity as well as good eating, using basic ingredients that are readily available Australia wide - and all road tested by the authors in the great Australian outdoors. The 2nd edition containing many new recipes is the result of an 18-month 4WD and camping odyssey around Australia. Australian Bush Cooking is an essential ingredient for every bush cook's larder.
