Mabu Mabu Help Yourself

To celebrate book week in the kitchen we used a recipe from the cookbook Mabu Mabu - Help Yourself from chef and author Nornie Bero. Nornie grew up on the island of Mer in the Torres Strait and her cookbook highlights stories from her childhood and champions native flavours in everyday cooking.

We used her recipe for Warrigal Greens and Saltbush Damper using our freshly harvested warrigal greens and saltbush from the garden. Careful measuring and mixing by all the groups meant our damper was lightly and fluffy and so delicious fresh from the oven. We served it with sweet and savoury condiments, cheese, lots of fresh crunchy lettuce, vegetable sticks and fruit. We had very creative platers in the classes too, some even making happy ‘carrot-ters’ from the fruit and vegetables on offer.
