Foreword

– Professor Ian Davis, ANZUP Chair

Appearances can be deceptive. Someone you know, perhaps someone you love, might have a secret they have not shared with you. They might look perfectly well and behave quite normally. But most of us will at some time in our lives be affected by cancer, either directly for ourselves, or indirectly for someone close to us. A very large proportion of these cancers are the “below the belt” cancers affecting the urinary system or genital tract: cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidney, testis, or penis. A lot of people don’t like talking about that, but it doesn’t make it less important. These cancers are common and can cause a lot of problems for those affected by them. Our treatments and support for those people are improving all the time, but we still need to do better. Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group (ANZUP) is a not-for-profit charity that aims to improve outcomes for people affected by these cancers. We do this through careful clinical trials aimed to generate the evidence we need so that people can make good decisions about their treatment. ANZUP has been in existence for 15 years and in that time we have been honoured to work in many countries, with hundreds of clinicians, scientists, and the community, and included thousands of patients in our trials. And progress is being made, with many of the treatments we have developed now becoming available for general use. We also work hard to raise awareness of these cancers and of the importance of supporting clinical research. This Rude Food Cookbook is a lighthearted way of drawing your attention, and if you’ve got this far then it seems to be working! We hope the recipes and stories in here will inspire you to learn more about these cancers and support the research. They say that “you eat with your eyes first.” That might not be such good advice here (or perhaps it is – we don’t judge!) In any case, appearances can be deceptive: these are all delicious. We hope your interest and support are all aroused, and that the story for these cancers will eventually have a happy ending.

Professor Ian Davis is chair of the ANZUP Board and of its Scientific Advisory Committee. He is a medical oncologist and is Professor of Medicine and Head of the Eastern Health Clinical School, Monash University and Eastern Health, in Melbourne, Australia. He also holds honorary appointments as an Affiliate Professor of Deakin University, adjunct Associate Professor of the University of Melbourne, Associate of the University of Sydney, Honorary Professorial Fellow with The George Institute, and Adjunct Professor of University of New South Wales.

Ingredients:

Adi worked as a doctor for 10 years before she took the leap into the food industry. Passionate about food education, she loves to encourage and support people in learning how to cook. She also became a fan favourite on MasterChef Australia in 2023.

3 tablespoons olive oil 3 rashers of bacon, diced 1/2 onion, finely diced 50 g butter 1/2 cup of flour 1L full cream milk 120 g frozen peas 120 g frozen corn 1/2 tsp nutmeg Salt, to taste 2 eggs, lightly whisked 1/2 cup flour 2 cups breadcrumbs (try a mix of panko crumbs and breadcrumbs for maximum crispiness) 1L canola oil (or other high smoke point oil for deep frying).

Jumping on board for Rude Food as a result of her work in public Melbourne hospitals, she has seen the effect urogenital cancers can have on patients and how much more research there is to be done.

Add the olive oil to a large pot (that will fit into your fridge) and heat over medium heat. Add the diced bacon rashers and onion, and saute for 4–5 minutes until onion has softened and bacon is golden. Add the butter and stir until just melted. Add the flour all in one go and stir well until the flour is coated in the butter and oil. Add the milk slowly, stirring frequently. it should take 20–30 minutes to add it all. Continue to stir and cook until all the milk is added. Taste the batter to ensure the taste of raw flour is cooked out; if not, continue to cook for another couple of minutes. Add the frozen peas, corn, nutmeg, and stir through. Add salt to taste. Remove from the heat. Place cling wrap over the batter, with the cling wrap touching the top of the batter so that a skin does not form on it. Allow it to come to room temperature, and then place in the fridge minimum for 3 hours (or ideally overnight). Lightly oil your hands. Take 1-2 tablespoons of batter and roll into balls in your hands. Roll in the flour to coat. Then coat in the egg wash, and then finally the breadcrumbs. Heat canola oil in a pot to 175°C. Add the croquette balls, 5-6 at a time, and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Keep the oil temp between 170-180°C. Drain on a paper-towel lined plate. Sprinkle with some flakey salt. Serve as is, or with mayonnaise and paprika.

In a frying pan place the butter and oil, once melted add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the rice to the pan and cook for 2 minutes to coat the rice in the oil, butter & onion and to get a toasty flavour on the rice. Add the wine to the pan and stir vigorously until most of it has evaporated. Begin adding your chicken stock, one cup at a time and stir constantly until the stock has all absorbed. Continue adding stock one cup at a time and stirring until it has been absorbed. This process should take around 20 minutes and you should end up with al dente rice. At this point, add salt & pepper, cheeses & parsley & let it sit to cool. In 3 bowls place the breadcrumbs, flour & beaten eggs. Make golf ball size balls with the cold risotto mix and then complete a 3 step process. i. Roll in flour ii. Roll in egg iii. Roll in breadcrumbs Chill the balls in the fridge for 1 hour until they are firm. Heat your oil to 180°C and fry the balls in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. To make your blue cheese sauce In a saucepan add the blue cheese, sour cream & butter milk and whisk until warm and combined. Let this cool down and serve in a small bowl alongside the balls.

250 g beetroot 1/2 avocado Thousand Island Dressing, to serve 1 large¹ tiger prawn 2 raspberries

This recipe was created by my wife and daughters, who strangely are not keen on being credited for it! We all have “rude bits,” but we don’t like to talk about them (well, most people don’t). That makes it even harder when cancer affects them. People sometimes try to ignore problems or hope they will go away. The Rude Food campaign ensures that the rude bits are figuratively right in your face. You cannot help but become more aware of these cancers, and why it is so important to understand how to treat them better. That’s what ANZUP does. We do clinical trials to help people affected by these cancers. Plus we love food, and we love a juvenile joke! OK. I have consulted widely and I’ve come up with this:

Method 1.

Cut beetroot into 5mm strips & place ribboned beetroot on plate to form a bed. Peel half an avocado and remove seed before placing upside down on top of beetroot. Fill the hollowed out section of avocado halfway with Thousand Island dressing. Place Tiger Prawn upright in dressing before garnishing appropriately with 2 raspberries. ¹ Sized to preference.² ² Preferences may vary.

Pour milk into a small jug and microwave for 20-30 seconds until lukewarm. Whisk in yeast and a teaspoon of the caster sugar. Set to one side for 5 minutes or until mixture is frothy. Place flour, salt and remaining sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the frothy milk. Crack eggs into the milk jug and whisk to combine. Pour into the flour. Fit the mixer with a dough hook and on the lowest speed, mix until the dough is combined. Increase to a medium speed and beat for 5 minutes. Gradually add the butter a few pieces at a time, beating well between each addition. Remove the dough hook, cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm, well ventilated area to rise for around an hour or until doubled in size. Prepare 4x6cmx6cm chef rings (or egg rings) by joining 2 together with tape. Repeat with the second 2 rings. Grease the inside with butter and line with a rectangle

of greaseproof paper. Line a baking sheet with a piece of greaseproof paper and place the rings on the sheet standing up. Preheat oven at 180°C. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured bench and knead for 1 minute. Cut into 3 pieces. Take 2 of the smaller pieces and form each into a sausage shape, a little thinner than your prepared tubes. Drop one piece of dough into each tube. The dough should fill the tubes 2/3-3⁄4 full. Cut the remaining piece of dough into 8 pieces and shape into balls the size of a 20 cent piece. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet around the tubes and leave to rise for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is just coming out, 1-2 cm higher, of the top of the tubes. Brush the dough with egg wash and bake in a preheated oven, removing the balls after 10-12 minutes or once golden and leave the tubes to cook for a further 5-8 minutes. Allow to cool before removing from the moulds. Cut a small divot in the top of the tubes. Cut 2 pieces of cheese into baton’s 1cmx1cmx7cm long and push into the divot in the top of the tubes leaving 1-2cm coming out the top. Return to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has just melted. While the cheese is melting, prepare 2 plates with curly endive and 2 balls leaving room for the cheesy tube. Place the tube in the centre and serve!

Gradually add the butter a few pieces at a time, beating well between each addition. Remove the dough hook, cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm, well ventilated area to rise for around an hour or until doubled in size. Prepare 4x6cmx6cm chef rings (or egg rings) by joining 2 together with tape. Repeat with the second 2 rings. Grease the inside with butter and line with a rectangle

of greaseproof paper. Line a baking sheet with a piece of greaseproof paper and place the rings on the sheet standing up. Preheat oven at 180°C. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured bench and knead for 1 minute. Cut into 3 pieces. Take 2 of the smaller pieces and form each into a sausage shape, a little thinner than your prepared tubes. Drop one piece of dough into each tube. The dough should fill the tubes 2/3-3⁄4 full. Cut the remaining piece of dough into 8 pieces and shape into balls the size of a 20 cent piece. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet around the tubes and leave to rise for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is just coming out, 1-2 cm higher, of the top of the tubes. Brush the dough with egg wash and bake in a preheated oven, removing the balls after 10-12 minutes or once golden and leave the tubes to cook for a further 5-8 minutes. Allow to cool before removing from the moulds. Cut a small divot in the top of the tubes. Cut 2 pieces of cheese into baton’s 1cmx1cmx7cm long and push into the divot in the top of the tubes leaving 1-2cm coming out the top. Return to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has just melted. While the cheese is melting, prepare 2 plates with curly endive and 2 balls leaving room for the cheesy tube. Place the tube in the centre and serve!

1 free range chicken 1.5 kg (whole) 8 free range chicken drumsticks 3-4 tbsp chicken stock powder 1/2 celery 1 turnip 1 parsnip 1 brown onion 1 leek 1 red capsicum 8 large carrots

Method

1.

2.

3. Matzah Balls Ingredients 4. This is my grandfather’s. It’s so old that we translated it from ounces into grams. But we’re pretty sure we got the measurements right!

5.

6. 4 eggs 3 cups (750 mL) water 60 g of schmaltz (available from any Jewish delicatessen) 1 3/4 cups (210 g) of coarse matzah meal Pinch of salt 17

7.

For the Soup Take all the chicken and put in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and see scum from chicken come to the surface. Remove chicken and rinse off any remaining scum. Using another large saucepan add the chicken and rest of vegetables whole (if carrots are very large just cut them in half). Cover with water and bring to a boil. Add salt, pepper and 3-4 tablespoons of chicken stock powder (I use the Israeli brand Osem available in the supermarket) You can always add more seasonings later. Simmer for 2 1/2 hours till everything is soft and the chicken cooked through. When ready, remove chicken and veggies from the soup (but keep carrots to add later). Sieve soup into another pot and then remove any fat with a paper towel. Some people leave it overnight and then remove the layer of fat. Then you end up with clear and golden Jewish ‘chicken soup penicillin.’ Make the Matzah Balls i. Mix all together in a glass bowl and leave to thicken for an hour. ii. Roll into balls (the size of golf balls) and add to a pot of boiling water and simmer for 1 hour until soft. If still hard then cook longer. Serve individual portions of soup ladled over the matzah balls, roughly 1 1/2 ladles of soup per servings and 2 matzah balls (depending on size). 18

‘Fast’ Ed Halmagyi is one of Australia’s best-known and mostloved chefs, best known as the resident chef on TV’s ‘Better Homes and Gardens’. After more than 20 years on TV, radio, online, at myriad events and in print, his influence on how Australian families cook, eat and celebrate is profound.

1 brown onion, finely diced 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 6 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp Italian herb mix 500g portobello mushrooms (very finely chopped) 500g pork mince 1 bunch sage (finely sliced) 2 tsp celery salt 4 eggs 1 1/2 cups (180 g) multigrain breadcrumbs 125g provolone cheese 100g cream cheese 4 cups (500g) plain flour 4 cups (500g) panko breadcrumbs Vegetable oil (for deep-frying) Tomato sugo & finely grated Parmesan (to serve)

Ed travels Australia and the world to discover the very best locals ingredients and cuisines, cooking them where they are grown, with the people who produce them. In the kitchen, Ed’s philosophy is simple: “When you do less, the ingredients can do more.” For Ed, it’s all about a fundamental humility and honesty that allows the food itself to be centre stage, not clouded by complicated techniques. Because in the end, it’s all about great food, made easy.

Method 1.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Sauté the onion in extra virgin olive oil in a medium saucepan over a moderate heat for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for a further minute. Mix in the mushrooms, then cook gently for 10 minutes, until the mixture is beginning to dry out. Set aside to cool. Combine the mushroom mixture, mince, sage, celery salt, 2 eggs and multigrain breadcrumbs in a large bowl and knead well, until the mixture becomes sticky. Divide into eight pieces. Mix the provolone and cream cheese, form into eight small balls, and insert one into each meatball, pressing the mixture around to seal. Roll in flour and shake off the excess. Beat the remaining eggs and dip the meatballs, then coat in panko breadcrumbs. Fry in hot (180°C) vegetable oil for 5 minutes, until golden, then transfer to a wire rack over a roasting pan and bake for 6-7 minutes, until firm to touch. Serve with tomato sugo and finely-grated Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Nick Capper is a cult favourite on the Australian comedy circuit, having toured across the country and cementing himself as a regular in the festival scene. Self-described as Australia’s favourite agricultural comedian, his oddball antics and off-kilter musings make him stand out from the pack, as he blends his country farm upbringing with absurd and surreal comic delivery.

5 potatoes 4 spring onions, thinly sliced Handful (approx 1/4 cup) of fresh parsley, thinly sliced 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (vegan-friendly) 1 2/3 cups (400 mL) coconut cream 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste

In 2021, Capper lost one of his testicles to cancer after experiencing some unusual sensitivity and pain. Faced with his own mortality in the midst of a pandemic and hurtling at full speed toward the age of 40, Nick decided to process his emotions in a levelheaded sensible way; by writing a comedy show about losing one of his goolies appropriately titled ‘Hold Me Closer Tiny Cancer’. As an ambassador for ANZUP, Capper is sharing his cancer journey and encouraging everyone to get checked and make better life choices when it comes to their health.

Bring a medium sized pot of water to boil for the potatoes. Peel the potatoes and slice 1 cm thick. Boil for about 6 minutes - they should be softened. Meanwhile, chop the spring onion and parsley. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Remove the puff pastry from the freezer to defrost. Line a pie pan with baking paper and then line with the puff pastry sheet. Drain the potatoes. Scatter one-third of the spring onions and parsley on the pastry, top with half of the potatoes, scatter another third of the spring onions and parsley, top with the remaining potatoes, and add the remaining spring onions and parsley on top. Whisk together the coconut cream, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Pour the coconut cream mixture over the pie. Cover with aluminium foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for a further 15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Slice and serve.

Caramelise the onion nice & slow with brown sugar, salt & a ‘lil balsamic vinegar on a medium-low temp for 4-5 minutes. Dice the bacon up & throw it on a tray & smack that sucker in the oven on 200°C until it turns crispy. Put a shallow pan on the stove top & put a lil’ water in it (enough that it will evaporate in a few minutes). When it starts to boil, chuck your dogs in, then, when the water evaporates, add some butter to the pan because butter is dope. Give ‘em a lil’ browning in the butter & they’re good to go. Put the rolls in a steamer for 30 seconds to get ‘em ready for them buttery dawgs. Split the rolls down the middle (not all the way through, you psycho!) & stuff with all that good stuff.

Cut the zucchini in half lengthways, season the cut zucchini with salt and pepper. Place a large saucepan over a medium/high heat and add the olive oil, zucchini and a good pinch of salt. Cook the zucchini on their cut sides to colour, then remove and add the remaining oil, onion, garlic, chilli and a good pinch of salt and cook over a medium heat for five minutes to soften. Next, add the tomato paste and cook for another one minute, then add the white wine, cooking for one minute longer before adding the cherry tomatoes and one cup of water.

Pizza Base Sauce Preheat oven to 120°C. Place tomatoes skin-side down in a small oven tray, cover with foil, making a few small holes for steam to escape, then bake in the oven for 3 hours. Remove foil and bake for a further 20 minutes or until lightly caramelised. Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Pour off excess water, then place tomatoes in a food processor along with salt and sugar, process to a chunky sauce consistency. Season to taste with extra salt or sugar if required. Place sauce into an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use (Consume within 1 week or freeze for a later date!)

Pizza Dough In a large bowl mix yeast and sugar with warm water, set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 5 minutes. Then add oil, salt and sifted flour to the yeast mixture, mix ingredients with a wooden spoon until a dough starts to form. Transfer onto a work surface lightly dusted with flour and continue to knead for a further 5 to 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. 5. Return dough to a bowl lightly greased with olive oil, cover with a damp tea towel and set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 30 minutes or until dough has doubled in size. 6. Preheat oven to 220°C. 7. Turn dough out onto bench and briefly knead to remove air. 8. Cut dough into 3 or 4 pieces then roll out each pizza base using a rolling pin to approx. 5mm thick, dusting bench with flour as you go. (Wrap any left over portions in plastic wrap and freeze for another day). 9. Place each base on an oiled pizza tray, top with sauce and mozzarella and bake in oven for 15 minutes or until cooked. I recommend using a pizza stone in order to get a crisp base. 10. Mix chilli and oil together in a small bowl ready for serving. 11. Top cooked pizza with prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, Parmesan, some chilli oil and fresh rocket. 4.

While my family & friends are very aware of ANZUP’s significant research & commitment to clinical trials, sadly they remain the minority. Our subtle rude food dishes are another way of starting the conversation around these nonsexy “below the belt” cancers & highlighting the importance of clinical trials. If we can prompt people to see their doctor & encourage them to ask “Is there a clinical trial suitable for me?”, then this campaign has been a huge success!

Nobuyuki Ura is the Executive Chef from ORA, overseeing and providing a modern exploration of traditional Japanese cuisine. Ura says what separates Japanese cuisine from all others is that ‘it’s deceptively simple and designed to showcase prime produce, picked at the height of the season’.

Tuna Salad: 240 g tuna, 2-3 cm slices 200 g mix green salad 1/3 cucumber, diced 6 cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1/3 red onion, sliced 10 g Jalapeno, finely chopped 1/4 bunch baby coriander, chopped 1/4 lime, juiced Salt, to taste 5 g fried leek

This Tuna Ceviche Salad evolved from thinking about a different way to serve tuna without presenting it as traditional sashimi. It was a way to combine traditional techniques with contemporary influences that would appeal to my customers. The dish is zesty and fresh and has become one of my signature dishes over the years. It’s easily plated, so have some fun with it.

Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Ceviche Dressing Add all Ceviche Dressing ingredients into a bowl and stir thoroughly. Tuna Salad Put all the Tuna Salad ingredients into a bowl as well as 2/3-3/4 cup (150-180 mL) of dressing and mix well. Adding salt to taste. Serve on a plate & garnish with fried leek on top.

Ingredients

There’s only a handful of personalities whose enduring popularity places them in that rare category where they are instantly recognised simply by their first name. “Ainsley” can only mean Ainsley Harriott, who has become something of an institution in the world of cooking and television entertainment, after more than 25 years as one of the world’s favourite TV chefs. Throughout that time, he has become the master of fresh, fun, accessible cuisine.

3 1/2 tbsp (50 g) butter, plus extra for greasing 4 large ripe pears Juice of 1/2 lemon 25 g pecan nuts, finely chopped 4 tbsp golden syrup

Method 1. 2.

3.

4.

Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease an ovenproof dish large enough to accommodate the pears in a single layer. Peel the pears, cut each one in half and use a teaspoon to scoop out the cores. Toss them in the lemon juice to prevent them from going brown and place them, cut-side up, in the dish. Place the butter in a bowl and beat in the pecan nuts, then use the mixture to fill the cavities of the pear halves. Drizzle over the golden syrup and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pears are softened and the sauce at the bottom of the dish is bubbling. Arrange the pear halves on plates and spoon over the sauce to serve.

Ainsley is perhaps best known for his appearance on Ready Steady Cook (which ran for 21 seasons and almost two thousand episodes) and for his various cookbooks that have sold more than 2 million copies worldwide.

Bonnie Chung is an award-winning entrepreneur, author and founder of food brand, Miso Tasty. Her successful product range includes miso pastes, cooking sauces, noodles as well as tofu, and is available across the UK and Australia in over 3000 supermarkets.

For the doughnuts: Vegetable oil, for deep-frying and oiling 275 g firm tofu, drained for 20 minutes, pressed and then mashed 1 tbsp lemon juice Finely grated zest of 1 lemon 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes 1 tsp, sea salt flakes 3 eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 cup & 1 1/2 tbsp (120 g) caster sugar 2 1/3 cups (280 g) plain flour 2 tsp baking powder golden caster sugar for dusting

Known for her incredible passion and extensive knowledge of Asian flavours; her love for ancient ingredients like miso and tofu are re-imagined for modern cooking with versatile recipes that celebrate these ingredients in everyday cooking. Bonnie lives in London, where her food brand Miso Tasty is also based.

For the miso caramel: 1/2 cup (125 mL) water 1 1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) double cream 1 1/2 tbsp white miso paste

Prepare a very large saucepan in which you will be deep frying. Fill it with oil no higher than one-third of the way up the sides and preheat to 170°C. As always when deepfrying, be very careful and do not leave the kitchen or take a telephone call. Layer a tray with kitchen paper (paper towels) for receiving your piping-hot doughnuts. In a bowl, mix together the mashed tofu, lemon juice and zest, nutritional yeast, salt, beaten eggs and sugar. Sift the flour and baking powder, then fold together, taking care not to overwork the dough. Oil an ice-cream scoop and make 25g balls of the dough. Drop 3 balls of batter into the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown. Turn occasionally to ensure the doughnuts are golden all over. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on the paper-lined tray to blot off excess oil, then dust with golden caster sugar. Repeat to cook and coat all the doughnuts. If you are making the miso caramel, heat the water and sugar in a heavy-based pan. Don’t be tempted to stir it or you might crystallise the caramel. Once the caramel is a dark golden brown, turn off the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes before slowly adding the cream and miso paste (be careful, as it may spit at you). Serve the doughnuts with the caramel, dipping them into it, or drizzling it over, as you prefer. Tip: The caramel can be stored in a refrigerator for up to a week. It is great on cakes and also drizzled on ice cream.

6 bananas 12 paddle pop sticks 500 g dark or milk chocolate Choice of toppings (chopped almonds, pistachios, peanuts, hazelnuts, pecans, dried fruit such as dried raspberries or strawberries, cacao nibs, shredded coconut or drizzle almond butter)

Peel the bananas, slice them in half horizontally, and then, insert a popsicle stick into the cut end. Lay the bananas on a piece of parchment paper. Melt the chocolate in a double-boiler or in 20-second increments in the microwave, until smooth. Dip the banana into the melted chocolate. Sprinkle some toppings while the chocolate is still melted, then place it back on the parchment paper and allow the chocolate to harden. Enjoy immediately!

Chop all your toppings ahead of time. Once you dip in the chocolate it’s like that old magic shell topping and it will harden quickly. Have your toppings pre-chopped or ready to go so the toppings will stick to the melted chocolate. Sprinkle, don’t roll. I’ve found it’s best to sprinkle the toppings on the dipped banana and quickly turn it, rather than roll it in the toppings which creates a bigger mess. Chocolate covered bananas will last for up to 3 months in the freezer in an airtight container.

1 cup (250 g) butter 1 cup (250 ml) milk 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar 1 cup (325 g) golden syrup 3 cups (275 g) plain flour 1 heaped tsp baking powder 1 tbsp ground ginger 1 tbsp mixed spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice mix) 2 eggs, whisked

This is a recipe that I transcribed when I was 10 years old from my grandmother’s handwritten recipe book – written before World War 2! It came from Dunfermline, Scotland where her family originated. It is best eaten warm with clotted cream in front of a roaring fire or allow it to cool and add lemon icing for afternoon tea. This recipe never fails, is always decadent and a great way to end a romantic dinner.

For the Icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups (200 g) icing sugar 2 tsp flour I tbsp lemon juice

Method 1. 2. 3. 4.

5. 6.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan-forced). Butter and line a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper on the base. Leave the sides buttered but not lined. Dissolve butter, milk, brown sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan on a low heat. Do not boil. Sift flour, baking powder, ginger and mixed spice into a bowl and stir in 2 beaten eggs. Pour in the liquid mixture into the bowl and mix quickly with a sturdy whisk until the mixture is smooth. Pour into the cake tin and cook for 1 hour or until a skewer in the centre comes out clean. Let it cool for 15 mins in the tin before turning it out to cool. Icing: Lightly beat egg white in a small bowl. Gradually add sifted icing sugar and plain flour. Stir in enough lemon juice to make a spreadable consistency. Spread over cooled cake.

1 cup (250 g) butter 1 cup (250 ml) milk 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar 1 cup (325 g) golden syrup 3 cups (275 g) plain flour 1 heaped tsp baking powder 1 tbsp ground ginger 1 tbsp mixed spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice mix) 2 eggs, whisked

This is a recipe that I transcribed when I was 10 years old from my grandmother’s handwritten recipe book – written before World War 2! It came from Dunfermline, Scotland where her family originated. It is best eaten warm with clotted cream in front of a roaring fire or allow it to cool and add lemon icing for afternoon tea. This recipe never fails, is always decadent and a great way to end a romantic dinner.

For the Icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups (200 g) icing sugar 2 tsp flour I tbsp lemon juice

Method 1. 2. 3. 4.

5. 6.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan-forced). Butter and line a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper on the base. Leave the sides buttered but not lined. Dissolve butter, milk, brown sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan on a low heat. Do not boil. Sift flour, baking powder, ginger and mixed spice into a bowl and stir in 2 beaten eggs. Pour in the liquid mixture into the bowl and mix quickly with a sturdy whisk until the mixture is smooth. Pour into the cake tin and cook for 1 hour or until a skewer in the centre comes out clean. Let it cool for 15 mins in the tin before turning it out to cool. Icing: Lightly beat egg white in a small bowl. Gradually add sifted icing sugar and plain flour. Stir in enough lemon juice to make a spreadable consistency. Spread over cooled cake.

One of the most important activities ANZUP does is to open conversations about ‘below the belt’ cancers. Clinical trials are critically important to improving outcomes for people diagnosed with these diseases. While we recognise cancer is a very serious subject, this “Rude Food Cookbook” takes a tongue in cheek approach to raising awareness about these ‘below the belt’ cancers. 100% of the proceeds from this “Rude Food Cookbook” will go directly to our Below the Belt Research Fund to support our clinicians and researchers to do research likely to lead to larger funded clinical trials ultimately to improve treatment and outcomes for people affected by these cancers. Thank you for your support of ANZUP.
