WITH THE COST of living on the rise, there’s never been a better time to cook smart. Welcome to our Zero Waste Special – born from a column we started seven years ago, which grew to become an annual issue and an always-on movement for delicious. When we first began planning how to dedicate an entire issue to easy recipes that used up leftover fruit, vegetables and pantry staples, and getting the most out of your food, it was a topic gaining momentum globally. We knew that if food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases behind China and the US, and yet many people around the world were still going hungry. Everyone from restaurants and producers to hotels and airlines were refining the…

THERE’S NOTHING bolder than a good shiraz, or syrah in French, nor more convenient than perfectly paired winter wines, matched by the Qantas Wine experts to our delicious feature recipes, and delivered to your home with a Qantas Wine Plan. It’s a great way to make food and wine pairing effortless. AN AUSTRALIAN ICON WITH AN INDIVIDUAL TASTE A dry red with incredible presence, shiraz forms the backbone of the Australian wine industry. With deep notes of cherry, chocolate, plum and spice, you can expect a sensory experience like no other in the wine world. As connoisseurs know, the notes and flavours will change based on where the grape is grown. If you’re looking for something weighty and intense, Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale wines will deliver. The cooler conditions…

THE VENUE: Press* Food & Wine, 40 Waymouth St, Adelaide THE VIBE: Waymouth Street’s busy foot traffic and glass-fronted buildings are a world away from the flower-filled garden on the edge of McLaren Vale where Tom Tilbury started at Gather at Coriole. And yet the acclaimed chef (inset) says his new home at Press* in the heart of the city provides just as much inspiration. WHAT’S COOKING? Hearty proteins like dry-aged beef and chicken roasted on the crown still emerge from the kitchen, but the menu is an altogether leaner beast with a strong seafood and vegetable presence that’s more in step with current tastes. WHAT’S POURING? A seasonal cocktail list will benefit from a pickling and preserving program that Tilbury has underway, and the wine selection has been expanded significantly…

I’M IN TROUBLE. It’s fully chilly weather round the kitchen bench, complete with some gale-force sighs of disapproval. You see, I froze the elderly, blackening bananas without peeling them first – and this is not acceptable in our house. I know it is a pain if you want to blitz the frozen banana to make vegan ice cream or whiz it with frozen mango to make a fluffy slushie that’s perfect drizzled with rum and lime. But, in my defence – and rest assured I wasn’t mounting one lest I got pinioned by an icy stare like a butterfly in a Edwardian lepidopterist’s collection – 98 percent of the time those bananas are going to become banana bread and you have to thaw them for that anyway. I bring up…

NATIVE INGREDIENT  WARRIGAL GREENS THIS SIMPLE GREEN sauce is an easy way to use up all those herbs you have hiding in the fridge, leftover from recipes you have made during the week. I love using warrigal greens as a base – finally a spinach that holds itself well and doesn’t whittle down into nothing as it cooks. Warrigal greens grow like wildfire, especially in the southern parts of Australia, and there’s nothing like a native spinach to help our natural environment thrive. Adding the chips also uses up any leftover root vegetables you may have to dip up your green verde. I loved growing up on root vegetables, especially cassava, which is great used for baking, in stews and as a natural food binder thanks to the starchiness that it provides.…

“QUITE AN UNATTRACTIVE FOOD, REALLY. BUT OH SO YUMMY. HOMEMADE SAUSAGE ROLLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE. AN AUSTRALIAN KID’S BIRTHDAY PARTY IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT THEM. IF YOU’VE NEVER MADE THEM YOU WON’T BELIEVE HOW EASY THEY ARE, PARTICULARLY IF YOU SHORTCUT AND USE STORE-BOUGHT PUFF PASTRY.” WE HAVE TAUGHT a class called ‘From Scratch’ at our on-farm cooking school for almost 10 years. In a single day, we lead people through how to make sourdough, yoghurt, butter, labneh, biscuits, crackers, jam, pickles and bone broth. Do I make everything from scratch all the time, or do I think YOU should? Nope and nope. If I didn’t have to work maybe I could… But I don’t think it’s practical or realistic to make everything from scratch all the time, particularly if you’re…

“IT’S BEEN THE AWARDS that have shone a light on all kinds of small producers, growers and fisher folk who have been doing the right thing by the environment and by the people they supply,” says long-time judge, Alla Wolf-Tasker. Gerry Harvey of awards partner, Harvey Norman, says: “Great food experiences, at home or in restaurants, start with the best produce. Australia is blessed with an abundance of the world’s most exceptional producers: from vegie growers to those tending livestock or harvesting fresh seafood. It is this diversity of talent that translates into flavour, as producers – especially those recognised as part of the delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards – are increasingly ensuring their production techniques are seasonal, sustainable and innovative.” GOOLWA PIPICO, SOUTH AUSTRALIA Harvested with hand nets close to…

A: This dish is how you made your name, right? C: It’s not how I made my name, it’s how I reinforced my name. It’s a dish from my first restaurant, 4Fourteen. It features licorice root – people think of sweet licorice, that black stuff that Anthony eats in his car at night, but it’s actually like a little piece of wood. It gives you this mellow flavour that’s not sweet at all. A: I don’t normally like licorice, but this is subtle and a bit aniseed-y. C: The shin is a stunning piece of braising meat because it keeps its shape when you let it sit in the sauce for a while. A: The beauty of this type of braise is that you can use so many different parts…

SOME PEOPLE ARE a little nervous about cooking fish. It can all feel very daunting… Cooking fish isn’t difficult, and you definitely don’t need to be a chef to pull off a perfectly cooked dish. My advice is not to shy away from cooking fresh fish; it all starts with great ingredients – the fresher, the better. And, ideally, try to use sustainable, locally sourced seafood. The beauty of vegetables and seafood is that they pair so well with a bounty of flavours. These recipes (or guides) are only here to get you started. The dishes I share these days combine the open mind and palate of my travels with my career in food, my time as the father of young kids cooking simple yet flavourful meals for my family,…

The secret weapon at Alkina, a biodynamic winery near Greenock, is Pedro Parra, a Chilean winemaker and forensic soil analyst who looks at the way soil, rock, roots, and complex organic ecosystems gestate a wine. Digging into limestone, schist and clay in the 60-hectare Barossa estate, Parra has identified specific parcels of vines, some as small as 0.3ha, that are unique in their geologies. Identifying the terroir ensures Alkina gets the best results from its grenache, mataro and shiraz grapes. Says general manager Amelia Nolan, “It’s a bit like growers in Burgundy knowing which areas are Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Village levels. We are building the same detailed understanding of which ‘polygons’ have the potential to deliver Grand Cru quality.” Without the mapping, says Nolan, her team (which includes…
