Celebrate AUSTRALIA DAY with Some Inspiration

Celebrate AUSTRALIA DAY with inspiration from our collection of recipes at The Cooks Room. Whether you’re hosting a large gathering or enjoying a quiet day with family and friends, we’ve got you covered!

We all know an Australia Day Menu isn’t complete without prawns, lamb, a pavlova, lamingtons, and, of course, an Aussie classic, Tim Tams.

Here are our takes on these classics:

The Prawns

Is there anything more Australian than prawns? Cook these in the oven or on the barbecue.

• FLASH-ROASTED PRAWNS with CORIANDER GARLIC & CHILLI

The Lamb

• SLOW ROASTED LAMB SHOULDER with Mint Salsa
• CHAR-GRILLED LAMB with ASIAN MINT & CHILLI SAUCE
• ROAST LAMB RUMPS with MINT SALSA VERDE & YOGHURT SAUCE

The Pavlova

Both Australia and New Zealand claim to have invented the pavlova in honour of Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who visited both countries in the 1920s. The variations of this meringue dessert are endless and all delicious.

• COCONUT PAVLOVA with MANGO & GINGER CREAM
• PASSIONFRUIT PAVLOVA ROULADE
• BROWN SUGAR PAVLOVA with SALTED CARAMEL & FIGS

The Lamington

The lamington is one of Australia’s edible national symbols—sponge squares coated in chocolate and coconut, named a century ago after Queensland’s governor at the time, Lord Lamington.

• CHOCOLATE LAMINGTON ROULADE

Tim Tams

TIM TAMS are one of Arnott’s signature biscuits with a cult following worldwide.
