As the summer holidays roll ever closer, it is time to start thinking about how we are going to celebrate this season – and what we are going to wind up doing for what occasion. One of the great Aussie traditions is bringing either the family or a group of mates a couple of hours drive out bush or to one of our impressive camping grounds for a camping trip to remember.

Depending on how much you’re roughing it will detail what you need to bring with you. If you’re taking the caravan away to a powered site or if you’re …

Smoking meat started out as a food preservation measure. It was popular before electricity when the main way to stretch the safety window for meat was to cook it or salt it. Smoking worked better than both, because salted meat often had to be rinsed to get rid of excess salt, and smoking made the meat last longer than actual cooking.

Of course, smoking is a form of partial cooking. You can eat smoked meat as is or re-cook it some other way. It takes several hours to do it right, and the trick is to smoke your meat over embers …

Ironbark is the common name that has been given to a number of species in the Eucalyptus group. These trees generally have a dark, deeply furrowed bark. Rather than being shed annually as many other species of Eucalyptus do, the dead bark actually accumulates on the tree forming fissures. After drying out this dead bark becomes impregnated with KINO, which is a dark red tree sap that has been exuded by the tree. This bark becomes resistant to fire and heat and will protect the living tissues within the trunk of the tree – and its branches – from a …

Pizza baked in clay ovens is one of life’s little pleasures. It has a crispy taste, delicious aroma, and gorgeously even browning. Open flames bring out the flavour in a way that no electric oven can match, and the outdoor dining experience is superb.

There are two kinds of smoking. Cold smoking uses temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees while hot smoking uses 70 to 80 degrees and produces meat that is ready to eat. Cold smokes last a few hours since they still contain some moisture, while hot smokes can stay fresh …
