The Spice of (Monday Morning Cooking Club’s) Life

Does this answer all your spicy questions?

So many of our wonderful recipes have the usual spices – the ones we all recognize – such as cinnamon, cumin, coriander, paprika and turmeric – and many have more usual and unusual spice mixes like curry powder and sumac to ras el hanout and baharat.

We always make a point of explaining in the recipe what the spice or spice mix is made of, and often give suggestions on how to make your own at home. We have bouquet garni in our Beef Bourguignon, ras el hanout in our slow cooked beef and baharat in our chicken tebeet. And in our Claypot Snapper, you can find Monday Morning Cooking Club’s  very own ‘Ata’s Spice Mix’.

Here’s a great guide from Health Perch which will hopefully answer all your spice questions.

If you still have spice questions, we’d love to hear them…and we promise that someone in our diverse online Monday Morning Cooking Club community can find the answer.

Anzac Day, held on April 25, is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that honours every soldier who served in war and peacekeeping. We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Anzac biscuits, made from oats and golden syrup were created during World War I because they were affordable, long-lasting, and could be sent to soldiers overseas without spoiling.

We make them every year to honour the tradition of Australia.

Lest we forget

I am a cook. @roknox4wentworth is actually not. 
She is much more than that.
Ro is the fabulous Liberal candidate for my electorate of Wentworth (NSW).

So, in anticipation of ANZAC Day on Friday, I invited Ro into my kitchen to honour the Australian tradition of baking these exceptionally irresistible oat and golden syrup biscuits,
and also to prove two things:
1. Anyone can make excellent ANZAC biscuits (yes, even Ro, a self-proclaimed non-cook), and
2. Sometimes stepping into unfamiliar territory is exactly what leadership looks like.

ANZAC BISCUITS

140 g (1 scant cup) plain flour
55 g (1/2 cup) rolled oats
85 g (heaped 1/3 cup) caster sugar
20 g (1/4 cup) shredded coconut
20 g (1/4 cup) desiccated coconut 
1/8 teaspoon salt
110 g (1 stick) unsalted butter
40 g (1 heaped tablespoon) golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda 

Preheat the oven to 160℃. 
Line a baking tray. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, coconut and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup together. Once melted, stir in the bicarb soda. Let it froth and thicken and then pour onto the dry ingredients. Mix well. Place heaped teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared tray. Flatten slightly if you prefer a more crunchy biscuit. Bake for 20 minutes or until deep golden. 
Makes about 30.
