dish Issue 125

No matter the weather, our first issue of 2026 is still 'so hot right now'! With seafood from MasterChef favourite Harry Butterfield, and sumptuous dinners for duos we get off to a delicious start. Next up Amelia Ferrier tempts tastebuds with two chicken recipes before we fossick in the back of the pantry for instant noodles, then magic them into five delicious dinners. Miso has been having a moment (for centuries) and we make it shine, then set a table under the olives for a lazy Italian feast. With the year's routines well under way, we banish boring back-to-work lunches with a selection of tasty bento boxes to make that midday break even more rewarding. Olivia Galletly puts a smile on the faces of the young with a roundup of fun and playful treats and our Make It Tonight section is packed with quick-fix dinners that are good enough to share. We round up this issue with our award-winning selection of the best Sauvignon blancs on the market.
