This recipe is a family favourite and as it doesn’t contain onions or garlic is FODMAP friendly. I add pumpkin and beans.
Easter memories and an Easter bunny – in a pot! Have you ever cooked rabbit? Well, here’s the recipe, so now you can… Valerie Elliot said Koondrook Wetland Reserve, in the Gunbower State Forest, New South Wales is her favourite campground. it is also close to the Barham Club and shops. Valerie told us, “When we camp at Koondrook, my nephews and husband go out shooting, and have permission and gun licences to do this. They get a few rabbits, and I love it. “My husband, our family and friends have been camping near the Murray for about 40 years. We
We’ve heard that free and donation sites have been crazy busy, but on last weekend’s jaunt, it simply wasn’t the case. Only two other vehicles camped up at Ravensbourne Recreation Reserve and three at Allora Rest Area, in South East Queensland. You can see these freedom camps below. Did you make it to Toowoomba’s Carnival of Flowers – what a show! Perhaps travellers are further north still? What has your experience been this year? We hope you are travelling. If not, you may appreciate our new CAMPS Ambassadors sharing their favourite campsites, parks and pies around Australia! A big welcome to
Letty Casey contributed this recipe to the Camps Australia Wide Community Cookbook. She says, “it is such an easy, mess-free cake to make and so versatile and very fulfilling”. With no eggs, and no butter – it could get you through some “Mother Hubbard” moments when travelling remotely. Best eaten on the day it is made, we used self raising flour. Ours soon disappeared! Ingredients: 1 cup flour (plain or self-raising) 1 cup shredded or desiccated coconut 1 cup sugar (white, raw or brown) 1 cup milk ( or replace it with ¼ cup powdered milk and ¾ cup water)
Jason Crossman said this recipe was passed on from his uncle, an easy and tasty way to prepare vegetables when camping. Even the kids will enjoy it! We certainly did. Super simple, it was beautiful with our steak. And a bonus – no washing up! Remember, most of the recipes in the Camps Australia Wide Community Cookbook are transferable e.g. camp oven dishes will cook up in a slow cooker or pressure cooker, even a regular oven. We cooked this at home, under COVID lockdown. Thanks Jason! Ingredients: 2 carrots – grated 1 zucchini – sliced 1 large brown onion
And it did! When our youngest glimpsed into the pot, he looked up super impressed! We eat meatballs, I have three different recipes for them I love. But it was the first time he ate meatballs that were cooked WITH the spaghetti. I guess, after ditching many carbs during a health kick for Heatley and I, he was just delighted to see pasta! After he consumed two huge bowls of it, he said it was the best ‘guinea pig’ recipe, (newly tried from the Camps Australia Wide Community Cookbook) yet. In our COVID lockdown, we cooked this on the stove
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
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
