Louise Slice with Davidson PlumI think just about every country kitchen and CWA club has got a recipe for this slice, I can still remember my mother cooking it.

Wattleseed Ice CreamWild harvested wattleseed & ice-cream go hand in hand. Until you've tried this gorgeous combo you wont believe me!

Wattleseed PancakesThe flavour of wattleseed goes so well with these pancakes. Must admit I dont know anyone who doesnt love pancakes and they really are so versitile, you can add any sort of topping for a sweet treat or a great meal. Use this recipe as a basic pancake mix and take out the sugar if you want a more savoury pancake, add a pinch of Saltbush and some Pepperberry for a truly outback bush pancake.

Quandong and Rhubarb PieQuick and Easy to make, delicious to eat, Rhubarb is an age-old favourite in everyones garden, hopefully it will be again, it's a delicious addition to any cooking and I've added it with an Australian bushfruit, Quandongs, to create a really unique and tasty pie.

Sticky Date Pudding with Macadamia NutsWho doesn’t love Sticky Date Pudding? Chef Justin Jennings has shared his amazing recipe that’s on the menu at his new “Australian” restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal. Fantastic food, great atmosphere. We spoke with Justin on The Aussie Radio Show about his new restaurant and living in Portugal.

Wattleseed TiramisuThis delicious desert had my guests wanting more. Best made the day before, to enable the flavours to move through the biscuits. Another great thing about this recipe is that by simmering the wattle seeds and using the flavoured liquid, the wattle seed paste that is left behind can be used for another recipe, ie wattle seed pasta.

Wattle seed & Choc Chip CookiesEat your heart out Cookie Monster, these little scrumptious morsels with Australian native Wattleseed and Choc Chip are perfect I made these delicious little brownies for two students staying with me, it was exam time and a little comfort food never goes astray.

Wattleseed & Yoghurt LoafI love the crunchy crust as you bite into this super moist loaf, you can spread it with butter if you want, but I usually just eat as is. Makes a great desert with mascapone and mixed berries. Pictured here is a traditional Aboriginal grinding stone showing fresh wattleseed and after it’s ground.

Lemon Myrtle ShortbreadWho doesn’t love shortbreads, that delicious buttery biscuit treat, here we’ve added a touch of lemon myrtle. This recipe is by Heather Salter at Treetops Guesthouse in Western Australia

Bush Muesli BarsA great snack or something for the lunch box. Recipe by Heather Salter from Treetops Guesthouse in Western Australia
