What about all the eating we do with our nose? How many times in a week, when a beautiful dish is put in front of you, do you close your eyes and put your nose to it, or lift the lid on a pot and place your nose over it when cooking? It’s primal – the nose knows. And this is what I love about winter food – it’s the power end of cooking. You take wonderful seasonal produce – even things with no real scent, like a pumpkin – add them to a pot, and let the magic happen. As the ingredients caramelise, soften, and the flavours blend into each other, out comes steamy air filled with sweet aromas to fill the whole house with unctuous goodness. You…

The Cauliflower & Caramelised Onion Lasagne (April 2016, p80) was easy and seriously delicious. Everyone gave it rave reviews! We will definitely keep this recipe up our sleeve for the future.

“M ayonnaise, coleslaw’s modern dressing, wasn’t invented until the latter half of the 18th century.” this month we devote our attention to the wonderful cabbage salad that gets its name from the Dutch koolsla, where ‘kool’ means cabbage and ‘sla’ is salad. The original Dutch salads were dressed with oil and vinegar and this is the way they still like their coleslaw in Germany and Sweden, where coleslaw is traditionally a side dish for pizza and known as pizzasallad. Cabbage salads have a long history in Europe: the Roman cookbook Apicius contains the first recipe for raw cabbage dressed in oil and vinegar, among a long list of cabbage recipes that shows that the vegetable was almost as popular in ancient Rome as orgies, togas and conquering barbarians. Mayonnaise, coleslaw’s…

Michelle Q How do you properly whip egg whites for meringues? For light and fluffy clouds of meringue, always have eggs at room temperature, use a clean and very dry bowl, make sure there is no egg yolk in the mix and always add sugar a little at a time to allow it to dissolve properly. If you are really worried, you can always add a pinch of cream of tartar to help stabilise the egg whites. Try our Salted Meringue & Golden Pear Crunch Stack on page 82. Katrina Q What’s your go-to, easy one-pot dish? It would be a hearty, adaptable chicken casserole. Saute onion and any vegies, such as fennel, carrots, capsicum, sweet potato or pumpkin, along with some garlic and handful of olives. Deglaze the pan…

People say to me, “oh, you’re that Greek chef” but I’m not. I’m an Aussie and I cook Australian food. That’s a can of worms right there: what is Australian food? Really, it’s an amalgamation of all the food traditions that came to this country with the families who settled here. But because we’re a young country and not locked into long-standing food traditions of our own we are able to play with it a bit and blur the lines. In my latest book, Greek, I offer my interpretation of modern Greek cooking, created by a proud Aussie with a Hellenic heart. “This salad is colourful and really yummy. For maximum flavour, make sure the peas are served at room temperature.”George C alombaris garden peas, cauliflower, almonds, lemon serves 4…

been eating nutrient-rich foods, cutting out processed sugars and fats and still not seeing a shift in the scales? Even worse, seeing the scales go up, you’d be forgiven for wondering what’s going on? Just by making a few tweaks to your superfood diet, you can enjoy all the benefits, including a trimmer waist. Eating clean and focusing on whole foods is, without a doubt, one of the most important things you can do to improve your overall health and nutrition. Eating clean, however, is not also a free ticket to eat as much as you like. The basic principle that total energy in needs to equal total energy out to maintain weight still stands true. Avocado, healthy oils, nuts, seeds and oily fish, for example, are jam-packed with heart-healthy…
