Australian Bush Bread – Damper

Damper is the bush-bread of Australia. Drovers (cowboys) baked Damper in camp ovens buried in the hot ashes of their camp fires in the Outback, but if you don”t want to build a camp fire in your backyard, damper can also be baked in a normal kitchen oven. To eat a damper: Cut the damper into rustic chunky slices, spread a liberal amount of butter on the damper and top with either jam, honey or Golden Syrup. YUM.. You just got to have a cuppa with it.

Ainsley’s Barbecue Spice Rub

A wonderfully simple and aromatic spice rub, that tastes just fantastic. Can be used on all meats, but especially good rubbed into chicken ( a quick dinner favourite of our cooked on the old George Foreman grill!) Even my dad raves about this, and he is more than mean with his compliments when it comes to food!!

Spicy Tomato & Bacon Soup

Original recipe that I thought tasted great, it is quite spicy so reduce or omit chilli flakes and/or pepper for a mild result. Can of course be scaled up easily.
