Reference Cookbook Australian Cuisine Outdoor Cooking Camping Guides Wilderness Cooking Gourmet Adventure Travel Cooking
Australian Bush Cooking: Recipes for a Gourmet Outback Experience turns campfire meals into five-star bush tucker. Written by outback guides Craig Lewis and Cathy Savage, this 2009 Boiling Billy paperback packs 255 pages of flavour-packed recipes that go far beyond damper and billy-tea. Think Thai-style barramundi steamed in banana leaves, kangaroo rendang, or a pavlova that sets perfectly in a camp oven—each dish tested under the stars of the Red Centre and photographed so you know exactly what success looks like.
What makes this copy collectible is its first-hand authority: the authors logged thousands of kilometres guiding 4WD tours, so every tip—from building a heat-bead oven out of a shovel to timing a roast by the Southern Cross—has been refined beside real travellers. The illustrated step-by-step guides show how to pack a “bush pantry” that weighs less than 4 kg yet produces sourdough, dukkah-crusted lamb and even espresso, making it the ultimate gift for campers, grey-nomads, gap-year backpackers and weekend glampers who refuse to live on instant noodles.
Because it’s been kept smoke-free and well-loved, this particular copy is clean, odour-free and ready to slip straight into the glovebox or Christmas stocking. Demand for first-print Australian outdoor cookbooks keeps rising as international visitors rediscover domestic travel, so securing a good-condition edition now means you beat the souvenir-shop price hike. Grab it, fire up the coals, and turn your next campfire into the hottest restaurant table in the Outback.
