LIFE HEATS UP at this time of year, literally as well as figuratively. Our calendars get more crowded as spring merges with summer, and the Australian entertaining season comes alive. We’re looking for fast solutions for nourishing feeds, and quick hacks, cheats and tricks for bang-it-together entertaining. Got a cake stall or birthday celebration that’s crept up on you? Or an impromptu barbecue to bring a plate for? Perhaps you just want some excellent but easy dinner ideas to brighten up your working week. Our fast and fabulous issue delivers all that and more. One person who knows how to throw a quick (pizza) party together with easy elegance is Silvia Colloca. Our long-time contributor pulls together a fast spread to please all ages from p 56. We’ve also got…

SPRING CHIVES Chives grown in the slightly cooler months of spring have the strongest flavour – they don’t like the heat! I think chives are an underused herb, especially since they can add so much to a dish – look, colour and flavour. FRESH BABY PEAS Springtime is all about fresh green peas for me! They are slightly smaller and sweet at this time of year, and have a beautiful grassy note to them. Podded or not, they are great with just some olive oil, salt and splash of lemon. OCTOPUS Octopus is so delicious when cooked right. We always source ours from Western Australia where it’s in abundance and ethically caught. They are available all year round, however the wild-caught octopus is perfect as the waters warm up in…

THIS IS AN EASY, throw-together midweek meal, using some leftover bread and those peas you’ve got hiding in your freezer. Adding the river mint to this dish gives you an added freshness that you can taste instantly. Found in southeastern parts of Australia, in and around waterways and hugging the riverbanks, river mint gives hints of spearmint flavour and aroma. With this medicinal herb, you get more bang for your buck, so keep in mind that a little goes a long way. Nornie Bero is the Melbourne-based founder and CEO of Mabu Mabu, which includes Big Esso, Tuck Shop and Mabu Mabu catering. Bero’s debut book Mabu Mabu (Hardie Grant Books) is out now. SPECIALTY INGREDIENTS There are native Australian ingredients required in this recipe – for dried herbs and spices,…

C: Do you know the best way to cook a minute steak, Anthony? A: What’s that? C: Don’t cook it for two minutes. It’s pretty self explanatory, really. A: Minute steak – it’s quick, it’s easy. And it’s generally less expensive. C: And do you know what makes it even quicker? If you do two 30-second steaks. But can you get a two-minute steak? A: Yes, you can if you want, Colin. But you’re getting off topic. C: Okay, but that’s the chef and butcher, it’s what we do. A minute is your timespan – just call it the Anthony steak, because you’re a goldfish of a butcher. A: I am a bit like a goldfish, I’ve already forgotten what I was going to say next. Anyway, wagyu is normally…

“WHY ‘BUS STOP’? BECAUSE IT’S UP TO YOU WHERE YOU GET OFF! LET’S START WITH THE PASTRY. YOU COULD FOLD IN THE SIDES OR KEEP IT AS ONE BIG RECTANGLE. THEN, WITH THE FILLING, YOU CAN ELECT FOR EVERY OPTIONAL EXTRA, OR KEEP THINGS SIMPLE WITH A PURER VERSION.” WHAT DOES IT MEAN to be a ‘good’ cook? It’s intuition and muscle memory. It’s a way of life built on a foundation of flying hours. But what happens if you missed a stage? First of all, let’s toss out the concept of being a ‘good’ cook, and replace it with the idea of becoming a better cook. Better cooking is a lifelong journey. It’s made up of single steps, with plenty of notes-for-next-time along the way. But every step gets…

@ottolenghi @ottolenghi GOOD THINGS COME in multiple forms: experiences and memories, friends and loved ones, travels and places and all the cheerful sights in between. At the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen (OTK), good things are food things and food things must absolutely be good. Sometimes, though, good things show up with a little bit extra. You get a meal, a dish, a recipe, but you also get a takeaway – a sauce, a sprinkle, a pickle! – a condiment you can repurpose time and time again. These extras help you build up your fridges and shelves, to be brought out at any and every mealtime; accessorising your plates with all the magical flavour bombs that make a good meal great. This book brings you an abundance of veg-forward meals from the…

THERE’S NOTHING LIKE the buzz of a maiden voyage. As Celebrity Beyond casts off from the English port of Southampton on a May afternoon, the fizz is flowing, guests are full of anticipation and expectations are high. Touted as the new gold standard in top-shelf cruising – longer, sleeker, jazzier than before – Beyond is the gleaming result of its parent company Celebrity Cruises ‘imagineering’. This billion-dollar vessel is equipped with all manner of innovations, including a rooftop garden, cantilevered pools and a floating platform that moves to different floors, but for now that all must wait. Crew and passengers, some wrapped in blankets to ward off the chill, are singing, carousing and clinking glasses as the ship slips down the Solent towards the English Channel. Ahead is a 10-night…

THIS IS NOT CRUISING as you might imagine it. Because the ships are smaller and purpose-built, expedition cruises allow you to discover destinations that are otherwise inaccessible. They’re for those eager for a truly immersive experience, learning about other cultures and spotting wildlife along the way. Add to this the fact that the number of guests on board is low and many newer ships provide a luxurious sanctuary after a day’s exploration, and expedition cruising could be the perfect holiday. Here are some to consider. DISCOVER THE GREAT LAKES Viking Expeditions’ 15-day Great Lakes Collection explores the waterways of all five North American Great Lakes. The journey takes in the thundering Niagara Falls, and includes a thrilling boat ride to the base of Horseshoe Falls, the tallest of Niagara’s three…

1 RESTAURANT DAN ARNOLD When Dan Arnold returned after seven years in France working in Michelin-star restaurants to open his own in Fortitude Valley, the concept of no-choice set menus was a little out there. Now he can fill his 45-seat dining room on a weeknight. Word has spread of Arnold’s exemplary classical technique-driven, flavourfirst line-up of dishes. This is the work of a gifted and generous chef. 2 AGNES Agnes, which opened to acclaim in 2020, is still one of the most difficult in the city at which to grab a dinner reservation, with waits of weeks for eager diners. The menu continues to evolve at this restaurant, which offers quality service, a cracking drinks list and a kitchen bristling with confidence and élan. 3 sAme sAme Chefs working…

@corbett85 ASK DANNY CORBETT about the essence of The Dolphin Hotel, and his answer is simple: good food and good times. It’s an ethos that has made this three-levelled Surry Hills institution a strong favourite for many years – for diners and Corbett alike. “I find The Dolphin so easy to work at because the team and customers are really engaging,” the chef says. “We have a very solid core offering in regards to food and also a classic brand that’s fun to follow. But diners also want new things. We take classic Italian recipes and put a ‘Dolphin’ spin on them. Sometimes it’s about keeping things old school, sometimes it’s about being new, inventive and fun. Everything works together.“ Having taken the reins of The Dolphin kitchen as part…

MONEY IS TIGHT, time is poor and we all need some inspiration for those nightly dinners. Here’s my simple primer to midweek feeds that cost less, beat stress and bring more tasty fun. PASTA & NOODLES The deal with any bland carb is to bombard it with maximum flavour, whether that’s fish sauce, chilli or soy sauce, pork fat, anchovies or olives. While I love the ease of noodle dishes that rely on pantry staples like a laksa or stir-fry, these can all be improved with seasonal, and therefore cheaper, produce. Or for a budget spaghetti arrabiata, spike the simplest of tomato sauces (tinned tomato, olive oil, garlic) with dried chilli, and top with golden pangrattato made with leftover breadcrumbs. RICE Whether you’re making Portuguese-inspired wet rice with prawns, a…

EMERALD AZZURA “Jet lag has me awake at 5am, the perfect time to explore the Emerald Azzurra, a new class of luxury superyacht from Emerald Cruises, as it sails around the Adriatic Coast, from Dubrovnik to Venice. The ship is just 110 metres in length, so navigating is easy, even in my foggy state. On board, staff know you by name, and guests are busy making plans to meet for martinis at Amici Lounge (the ship’s main hub of activity) or sundowners at the open-air pool bar. Having only completed a handful of journeys, everything on board still feels new – the gym on the ‘wellness deck’ is so fresh, the Missoni towels still have tags on them. Nearby, there’s a hairdresser, sauna, spa and medical centre, while on the…

@franksdeli_bronteroad PORTUGUESE CHICKEN WITH HOMEMADE PIRI PIRI SAUCE WHEN SAMMY JAKUBIAK stumbled upon a 1950s butcher shop on Bronte Road in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, inspiration struck. “My partner Ben Kelly and I were in New York pre-pandemic and fell in love with the delis,” she says. “We didn’t plan on opening a venue in the middle of lockdown, but when we came across the space, we couldn’t help but see a New York-style neighbourhood deli.” Fast forward to now, and Frank’s, which Jakubiak established with Kelly and her brother Alex, has become just that. Like at all good delis, there’s an impressive sandwich menu (“We wanted to cover all the bases of a New York-Jewish/Italian/Aussie sandwich shop,” Jakubiak says) featuring everything from deli meats and three-cheese toasties to a secret-recipe…
