On Monday I was part of teaching ‘Bush Tucker’ cooking to a group of young Indigenous students. We made wattleseed and choc chip cookies and bush tomato scones. This week is National Reconciliatiom Week and I thought to repost this poem from January teachers may like to read to their class.

A few tips: remember to balance the taste between the wattle seed and choc chips in the cookies and use a tbsp of bush tomato seasoning for the scones. We found native jam locally in a specialist shop which tasted great with the scones.

Enjoy
