New softcover spiral-bound book, 256 pages, published 2009.

From roasts to rissoles, salads to savourites 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 or camper's kitchen.

The swag of easy and tempting recipes have all been prepared for simplicity as well as good eating, using basic ingredients that are readily available Australia-wide and all road-tested in the great outdoors, using many of the techniques and equipment the authors use whilst out and about exploring the Australian bush.

Australian Bush Cooking also goes further than your usual recipe book with details on the different types of bush cooking gear, advice on menu planning and hints on building the right type of cooking fire. There's even sage advice on the fading art of how to brew up a great cup of billy tea!

Australian Bush Cooking is an essential ingredient for every bush cook's larder.
