AUD$21.95

How to gather, grow, process and cook Australian wild foods.

Bushfoods are now a part of the menus of many restaurants in Australia. This book is the first to present up-market recipes using bushfoods and suggesting their role in the development of an Australian cuisine. Where else but in Australia could you dine on bugs in a blanket, game meat with Illawarra plum and chilli sauce, rolled emu egg pavlova or wattleseed ice-cream with macadamia nut crisps?

A chapter on survival completes the text of the Bushfood Handbook and covers the survival skills and strategies of the Australian Aborigine and the modern survivalist. Together with the knowledge of how to get something to eat in the bush these skills can create ties with the bush to make us feel more at ease in our own homelands.
