Welcome
It’ s festive season – our favourite time of year at the Connection. In Costco Life on page 8, you’ ll find our top festive food recommendations from confectionery to Christmas meat staples. In our Member Connection on page 71, you’ ll read all about the retirement of our long-serving Managing Director Patrick Noone and an introduction to his successor Chris Tingman.
This month, we’ re highlighting all the different and wonderful holidays celebrated throughout Australia and the world in a special section dedicated to summer entertaining. First, we’ ve teamed up with legendary Australian chef and MasterChef season two champion( and Costco member!) Adam Liaw to offer you some of his best Christmas recipes. Head to page 25 to dig into Liaw’ s delicious family favourites. Also in our special section, Smith & Daughters’ Shannon Martinez shares her show-stopping vegan sticky fig pudding on page 40, Bake Off’ s Hoda Alzubaidi gives us a taste of the Persian celebration of Shab-e Yalda with her festive fesenjoon on page 42, and MasterChef’ s Kishwar Chowdhury shares her mouth-watering paani puri on page 44 – perfect for Diwali. Finally, Monday Morning Cooking Club’ s Lisa Goldberg takes Chanukah to the next level with her incredibly addictive hot jam doughnuts on page 48.
Elsewhere, we explore how to maximise savings at Costco this season on page 11, and interview the founders of cult beauty brand Lash Therapy about their latest product launch on page 15. Lastly, we offer tips and tricks for travelling with anxious and neurodiverse children on page 19 and creative ways to make the most of your festive leftovers on page 59. Happy holidays!
