This cookbook is a work in progress. Updates of the cookbook are available for download FREE at http://www.BushWok.com. Philosophy There is not enough family - b ased cooking in the world. We as a society have begun to lose what is a fundamental aspect of family life, that is, preparing, cooking and sharing a meal together as a family unit. Most of us are dependent on someone else to grow our food and many of us depend on others to cook our meals, and they do not necessarily have our best interests at heart. The fundamental objective for developing the Flour - D rum Stove is to encourage the greater use of vegetables in meals for people living a camping lifestyle. Engaging people in the process of preparing and cooking a vegetable - r ich meal is one of the most important health - p romoting services that nutritionists and other health workers can provide. This cookbook has no real value on its own, but is merely a resource that can be left behind after you have engaged a group in the process of cooking a healthy meal, be they school children, a mens group, a diabetes group, aged care workers, or any other group you may be working with. Leaving copies of the cookbook behind with the people you have cooked with will hopefully enable them to model the cooking behaviours and processes you have shared with them. Making a Flour - Drum Stove and buying a $20 wok might enable even the poorest people in Australia with access to only the most basic equipment and facilities but who may have just enough money to purchase the raw ingredients, to engage in the process of cooking and sharing healthy meals in a way that is compatible their traditional methods of preparing and sharing meals, and that strengthens family bonding in a healthy and enjoyable way. The recipes in the cookbook use ingredients which are generally available in most remote stores. While some recipes are the creation of the author (eg Rainbow Curry, Tuna Potato Hash) others are in the public domain, not anyone's intellectual property and have had the instructions modified so that they may be cooked in a BushWok. I sincerely hope you enjoy using the cookbook in your engagement of people in the process of cooking healthy meals.

Instructions for

Making a Flour-Drum Stove

Cut a square hole in the side of the flour drum. Then, make cuts all the way around the top, and around the bottom

Push the metal on one side of the cut to enlarge the opening. Opening up the cuts will enable air to go in through the bottom and smoke and heat to go out through the top.

To make a stove with an angle grinder, you will need ear and eye protection

But, if you dont have an angle grinder, you can use a can opener to make your stove.

Getting a wok ready for use

A new wok often has lacquer on it to stop it from rusting. The lacquer must be burnt off before the wok can be used for cooking Make a fire, and put the wok in the fire and leave it in the fire until the lacquer is burnt off Now, wash and scrub the wok clean with a pot scrubber and detergent. Rinse with water. Spread some cooking oil all over the inside of the wok and put it in the fire again. Rub the oil around inside the hot wok until the cooking oil burns and blackens When the wok is cool it will have a black layer of burned oil on the surface. Clean the wok gently with paper and water only. Do not scrub. The wok is now seasoned and ready for cooking

Wok Care
A wok works best if you keep the blackened layer on the cooking surface. A wok should be clean but not scrubbed. Never scrub the wok with scourers and never clean the wok with detergent or soap The best way to clean a wok is to wash it out with hot water. A brush will help remove any cooked food stuck on the wok When the wok is clean you need to dry it to stop it from rusting. Dry the wok with a paper towel, or put it over heat to dry it. You can rub a little oil on the inside of the wok if you like. Store the wok by hanging, or place it upside-down on a shelf The wok is now ready to use for the next meal
