👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 Are you curious about the Anzac Biscuits recipe?

We often say that some things never change, well the Anzac biscuits recipe sure has. There are actually many different ways of cooking Anzac biscuits and we found one from 1917 in "The War Chest Cookery Book" that we are very happy to share with you (https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-37545603/view /n102/).
If you are looking for a more modern, familiar recipe, the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs published one in the 2014 book "We Remember Anzac (Primary Resource)".

Feel free to share in the comments your recipe for Anzac biscuits or your tips for finding golden syrup in Switzerland! ✨

🌺 Do you know why the poppy is used for the commemoration of Anzac Day?

The poppy’s popularity stems from the poem "In Flanders Fields", written by Canadian medic Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae in 1915. The poem recalls the red poppies on the war graves of soldiers who died on the Western Front in Europe during WWI. In Australia, the red poppy is the commemorative flower of remembrance. On Anzac Day, we also commemorate with rosemary sprigs as a symbol of the first Anzacs at Gallipoli.
