Paper Chef #13 - Spice Gifts

Congratulation to all Paper Chef winners, yes that's everybody! Since the last Pre-Christmas post left over a week ago, your gifts won't arrive in time before the new year for those outside of Australia. Due to the smaller than expected number of participants, everyone gets a spice sampler, with recipes, bundled with the Spice Magazine. Recipients outside of Australia also get a pack of "Australian Billy Tea" with gum leaves to enjoy while singing "Waltzing Maltida", and perhaps after eating Alanna's Swagman Stew.

Initially the sampler spice packs (from Barbushco) came flat packed to make use of letter air mail to reduce postage and for speedy deliver. The later spice samplers, packaged in cardboard, contain coarsely ground spices and some whole ones. Unless you have a specific request, these sampler packs will be randomly distributed.

Sampler from OzTukka:
Lemon myrtle (dried and ground)
Wattle seed(roasted and ground)
Mountain pepper leaf (dried and ground)
Mountain pepper berries (whole)
Bush tomatoes (whole)

Sampler from Barbushco:
Lemon Myrtle
Wattleseed
Aniseed Myrtle
Dorrigo Pepper
Rainforest Blend

Rainforest Blend is a blend of Lemon Myrtle, Cinnamon Myrtle with a dash of Chilli for Asian style stirfry and curries.

Happy holidays to everyone, and keep safe for the new year where we will battle again for the Paper Chef crown on 6th January 2006. Check for details at Tomatilla towards the end of the December.
