Chicken tonight? Try Stir-Fried Chicken with Chillies and Peanuts

Delicious! The teen particularly loved it – I think because it was so saucy. He said for me to add more chilli next time! (This was probably because instead of four small chillies I had one larger red chilli.) I did also add bok choy, and shallots (or spring onions), too. We served Stir-Fried Chicken with Chillies and Peanuts with brown rice, for added fibre and lower GI. It was all part of COVID cooking – whipping up recipes from the Camps Australia Wide Community Cookbook during lockdown. Highly recommend – thanks to Doug Minnnis who contributed this recipe to the new

Roast Lamb in the Camp Oven

The Camps Australia Wide Community Cook Book is such an easy present for Mother’s Day. Here is another recipe we know you’ll love. Contributed by Sue Webb The recipe is my sister-in-law’s, but it has become one of our favourites that we cook every time we travel and you can cook it in a camp oven. Simply beautiful! The amount of people you can feed from it depends on the size of the leg or shoulder. We have fed as many as 8 people and sometimes it is just 4. I will have roast potatoes and onion,caramelised pumpkin, crumbed cauli

No Fail Scone or Damper

Scones always please, and this recipe from the Camps Australia Wide Community Cookbook contributed by Susan Edwards. She has made seven batches of these in her caravan oven for her Tuggerah Lakes Caravan Club members. She served up damper with golden syrup and cream; scones, jam and cream plus date scones served with butter. They must live up to their name! In the book, Susan suggests more additions for savoury options, tell us why she loves to free camp and gives her favourite ‘must do’ experience in Australia – The Horizontal Falls (which we feature in this newsletter!).

Cooper Creek Caramel Choc Chip Ice Cream

A perfect summer recipe from the Camps Australia Wide Community Cookbook, David R Jones is pictured creating this recipe at Lawn Hill Gorge, (known as Boodjamulla, QLD site 388 in Camps 10). However, he first made this recipe camped at Kudrimitchie on the Cooper (SA site 691 in Camps 10). He said, sitting around the campfire eating it was wonderful. Both sites can also be found on the Camps Australia Wide App. David recommends Devondale UHF thickened cream or standard thickened cream. He also adds, ‘Make it at home for a dinner party – it is that good …’ Ingredients600ml

Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken

Thanks to Drew Burgess for contributing not one but two recipes to the Camps Australia Wide Community Cookbook. Pictured is his photo of Pinnarendi Station (QLD site 341 in Camps 10 or find it on the CAMPS AUSTRALIA WIDE App) – which he votes has the BEST camp kitchen! This “one-pot wonder” lends itself to van life. It will keep for a night or two in the fridge, so a day on the pots frees up some time later in the week. (Editor note: Note this needs to be marinated overnight.) This chicken recipe came from June’s sister, tweaked by
