Australia Day barbecues! Home of the great Aussie salute (did you read our article on fly control?), sausage & sauce on bread, lamb chops on the bbq, and tables groaning under the weight of salads.
We thought we’d do a round up of some of Aussie food icons you can call on this Australia Day. Be warned! We’ve grabbed ones with a not so traditional twist, but we’re confident you’ll still love them.

Pine Lime Splice Cheesecake
Next to the Golden Gaytime, you’d be hard pressed to find a more iconic Aussie ice block. So you can imagine our squeals of delight when we saw this recipe pop up in the search. It takes the tang of cheesecake and marries it with the sweet tang of a pine-lime splice for heaven in a slice.

 | Vegemite Cheese BreadDon’t let the name fool you. This isn’t bread – it’s damper and surely that should give you more reason to make it for Australia Day. You’d be hard pressed to find an Aussie kid, big or small, that can resist the smell and taste of a fresh vegemite & cheese roll. Now imagine that in a loaf & there we are. Now, can someone please pass me the butter? Thanks! https://www.abc.net.au/radio/recipes/vegemite-and-cheese-bread/893014 |
Iced Vo Vo Slice
Keeping with the Frankenstein recipe theme, we’ve found a delicious mash up of all the things that make Iced Vo Vos so delicious, let’s face it it’s a toss up between the raspberry and the marshmallow layers, and the breakfast staple of Weetbix.
Crunchy wheaty goodness down the bottom and the genius hack of packet marshmallows on top. What’s not to love?!

Lamingtons
It would be unAustralian to leave these nuggets of cakey-chocolatey goodness off the list. So we went to the source of all incredible Australian recipes – the CWA.
These women are the backbone of rural & regional cookery and if they don’t know how to make it, you can be certain they know someone who one a prize at a local show for it. So here is their lamington recipe.

Tim Tam Hedgehog Slice
Is it a Tim Tam or is it Hedgehog Slice? Actually, we don’t particularly mind as this Aussie legend has combined the two into one mouth-watering creation of chocolate goodness.
