Celebrate AUSTRALIA DAY with some inspiration from our collection of recipes at The Cooks Room. Whether you’re hosting a cast of thousands, or kicking back at home with family and friends, we’ll have you sorted !
We all know an Australia Day Menu isn’t complete without prawns, lamb, a pav and lamingtons, and to some extent, an Aussie classic, Tim Tams.
Here are our takes on these classics:
The Prawns
Is there anything more Australian than prawns – cook these in the oven or on the Barbie.
FLASH-ROASTED PRAWNS with CORIANDER GARLIC & CHILLI
The Lamb
SLOW ROASTED LAMB SHOULDER with Mint Salsa
CHAR-GRILLED LAMB with ASIAN MINT & CHILLI SAUCE
ROAST LAMB RUMPS with MINT SALSA VERDE & YOGHURT SAUCE
The Pavlova
Both Australia and New Zealand lay claim to having invented the pavlova in honour of Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who visited both countries in the 1920’s. The variations of this meringue dessert are endless, and all delicious.
COCONUT PAVLOVA WITH MANGO & GINGER CREAM
BROWN SUGAR PAVLOVA with SALTED CARAMEL & FIGS
The Lamington
The lamington is certainly one of Australia’s edible national symbols – sponge squares coated in chocolate and cocnut, named a century ago after Queensland’s governor at the time, Lord Lamington.
Tim Tams
TIM TAMS are one of Arnott’s signature biscuits with a cult following worldwide.
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY to everyone
