The Recipes
We put in the good word with our old friend Saint Nick, and he agreed to let us peek at a few gifts under the tree. Dive into our main event with Miso-Glazed Salmon with Okonomiyaki Toppings and enjoy the splash of sweet and savoury flavours. If that’s got you hooked, swim over to the seafood section for Claire’s Finger-Lickin' Smoky Garlic and Chilli Prawns on the side or towel off and warm up with our Old Smoky Glazed Ham that will spice things up on the Christmas table. Every Christmas with the family is a special occasion but we’ve taken it the extra mile with Sarah’s Special Occasion Chocolate Mousse Cake - watch their faces light up like a Christmas tree when they see it!

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
