Campfire Cooking: An Australian Tradition
In the heart of Australia, campfire cooking is not just a method, it’s an enduring tradition, a part of our heritage. It’s about using the generous gifts that our beautiful land provides, spicing it up with a bit of creativity, and infusing every dish with a lot of love. Whether it’s barbecuing snags on a beach or toasting marshmallows over a campfire, it’s in our blood to take our meals outdoors. And that’s what makes campfire cooking special—it’s as much about the shared experience as it is about the meal itself.
