Hot chocolate with Davidson’s plums

 

This recipe is inspired by the Warndu Mai (Good Food) Cookbook, by Damien Coulthard and Rebecca Sullivan. This contemporary cookbook is showcasing Australian native foods with many recipes. Their Davidson Plum Hot Chocolate is altered here to suit our needs. The plums are fresh off the tree.

In the foreword Bruce Pascoe writes:  “You can’t eat our Aboriginal food if you can’t swallow our history.”

That sounds beautiful, I wish I’d seen it before turning mine into plum sauce; oh well, next year. Are you finding the cookbook useful? I was afraid it would be too arid country, using things I have difficulty getting in the regional east.

I’ve stumbled across your blog a few times searching for ideas (today’s search was bunyas and eggplant). Lovely food, thank you
