Our summer entertaining special, starting from page 15, features mouthwatering recipes and ideas from top local chefs, including Matt Moran, Jason Roberts, Emelia Jackson and more.
Australia’ s very own Queen of Christmas, Donna Hay, shares some of her favourite festive foods from page 26, including a sumptuous double-glazed juniper ham, lemon thyme brined turkey and a leek and gruyere pie that’ s guaranteed to appeal to vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
Also in our festive recipe line-up, Food Trail: South Africa host and crackling aficionado Warren Mendes shares the perfect pistachio-rolled roast pork from page 41, while Dessert Masters maven Melissa Leong creates a tantalising twist on traditional tiramisu, tuck in from page 53.
Next, we’ ve got a special four ways for anyone who loves to spend Christmas by the beach. Costco supplier Goolwa Pipi Co. shares four delicious recipes from some of the nation’ s bestloved seafood restaurants, showing how quick and easy it is to prepare and take along to your own beachside bash.
