With ANZAC Day this Saturday, one of Australia’s most iconic traditions is back in kitchens across the country — the humble ANZAC biscuit. But behind the oats, golden syrup and coconut is a story rooted in wartime care, resilience, and community connection.

We’re joined by Amanda Colwell from the Coonamble Evening Country Women’s Association to unpack the original recipe, the best way to get that perfect chewy-or-crunchy finish, and why this simple biscuit still carries such meaning more than a century later.

From soldiers overseas to family kitchens today — this is one recipe that’s never just been about baking.
