Anglicare Southern Queensland has teamed up with My Dilly Bag for a cooking event on Gubbi Gubbi Country (Sunshine Coast).

The event saw Yuwaalaraay/Kooma woman and owner of My Dilly Bag, Aunty Dale Chapman, host a cooking class with Anglicare Southern Queensland CEO Sue Cooke on Tuesday.

The pair took viewers on a culinary journey of creating a delicious dish and dessert using all native ingredients.

Attendees of the stream learned to use native ingredients in everyday cooking, exploring the unique flavours of Australia.

During the livestream, Aunty Dale and Ms Cooke demonstrated how to make a saltbush seared kangaroo and chutney dish, followed by a tiramisu using native ingredients.

"Today we made two dishes - A saltbush seared kangaroo on a sweet potato mash with green beans... then we followed it up with a gorgeous wattle-seed and davidson plum tiramisu," she said.

The company supports these communities by developing, marketing, and distributing Aboriginal products, thus preserving traditions, creating new income streams, and ensuring a positive future.
