Celebrate National Lamington Day on the 21st July with Wonders of the Volcano (aka sisters, Caitlin Greenhalgh and Sarah Ryan) as they launch their new creative enterprise at The Sauce Kitchen, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia! On National Lamington Day, the sisters will launch their business and first product range – locally designed and hand printed Toowoomba-inspired linen tea towels. One of the tea towel designs was inspired and pays tribute to the unlikely Australian icon – the humble lamington! There are various stories about how the lamington was created. However, the sisters like to believe that it was devised by Armand Galland, the French chef to Lord Lamington, Governor of Queensland (1896-1901). Galland is said to have had a Tahitian wife – hence his use of coconut. He created the delicious cakes at the governor’s country residence in Toowoomba. What Lord Lamington lovingly referred to as “those bloody, puffy, woolly biscuits”, we now know as the lamington!
