From the Tim Tam to the Scotch Finger, Arnott’s has been a biscuit tin mainstay in Australia for 160 years. Now bickie lovers can transform their favourite into a spectacular dessert, birthday party treat or lunchbox filler with the launch of Arnott’s The Cookbook, published in collaboration with The Australian Women’s Weekly.
Brimming with nostalgia, comfort and creativity, Arnott’s: The Cookbook transforms these legendary biscuits into easy-to-make delights, from Choc Ripple hazelnut slice to Iced Vo Vo pavlova to a Butternut Snap mango cheesecake.
The book is designed for bakers of all skill levels, each recipe making it simple to create something special at home. Transform Scotch Fingers into a decadent rocky road or turn Milk Arrowroot into reindeers for Christmas.
Tim Tam fans won’t be disappointed either, with decadent recipes for scones, pikelets, a pavlova and fudgy slice.
Arnott’s The Cookbook is available nationwide now, from major retailers including BIG W, Kmart, Target, QBD, Booktopia, Amazon, RRP $24.99.
“The Australian Women’s Weekly is proud to bring joy and creativity into Australian homes with this special collaboration,” said Fran Abdallaoui, food director, The Australian Women’s Weekly.
“Arnott’s biscuits are part of the fabric of Australian life, and this cookbook celebrates their role in our sweetest memories, past, present and future.”
Arnott’s executive chef Vanessa Horton, who shares her tips in the book under the moniker Chef Ness, says the book honours the role Arnott’s biscuits play in family traditions, while also re-imagining them in surprising new ways.
“This cookbook is particularly special to me as it is a collaboration with The Australian Women’s Weekly,” Horton writes in the book.
“My mum Jennifer, who passed away much too early, was given a Women’s Weekly cookbook from her mother-in-law Pat, which she then passed to me. This quickly became a treasured possession, and from it, I started my own cooking journey, finding comfort and inspiration in its pages.”
Arnott’s: The Cookbook is a timeless celebration of flavour, nostalgia and the joy of baking together.
