As a busy businesswoman and a serious foodie, I like to prepare healthy weekday lunches that are not only delicious but also nutritious. The Broccoli Tabouli with Feta & Pomegranate (September 2017, p121) ticked all the boxes. The Spicy Pork Meatballs with Carrot & Quinoa Salad (Super Bowls cookbook, p31) was so fresh and crunchy. Even though it was healthy, it tasted a treat. Here’s my version of your terrific Spring Fruit Cheesecake Slice (September 2017, p81)! I drizzled fresh passionfruit over the slice instead of using edible flowers. The base was so tasty! I made the Lemon Curd Coconut Pavlova Cake (September 2017, p108) for a birthday cake that doubled as a delicious dessert. I have never made such a cake before. It was interesting that the cake was…

here do you sit on the spectrum of being prepared for get-togethers? I veer from being a perfect planner to a time terrier who does everything at the last minute, and rarely anything in between. So this issue really gets me. The Rocky Road Cherry Bombe cover recipe (page 18) can be made and frozen up to two weeks ahead, ready for the big reveal on the day. Plus we’ve got stunning no-bake desserts that are all make-ahead, including our very own version of that Aussie fave, the Viennetta (page 96). On the savoury side, Matt Preston is bringing back a Seventies party classic, the vol-au-vent, and we’re loving the updated flavour twists of the fillings (page 82). If you want to impress on the double, fire up the barbie…

tip 1 Use the overhanging baking paper to lift the brownie out of the pan and onto a wire rack to cool. Line the pan with freezer paper, again extending over the long sides, before returning the cooled brownie to the pan. tip 2 Marshmallows can be sticky to cut with a knife, so use scissors to snip them in half instead. Cutting the marshmallows in half makes it easier to neatly slice the finished ice-cream cake at serving time. tip 3 Keep an eye on the ice-cream as it softens. It needs to be soft enough to stir in the marshmallow and peanuts, but you don’t want it to be fully melted because it may make the brownie soggy. tip 4 Make indents in the top of the ice-cream…

Go epic with a mocha base and salted caramel top. my frozen banoffee recipe is perfect for spring and summer. It works best when you use really ripe bananas (the ones that look black) because the ripest bananas bring bags of flavour to the filling even after freezing. I add a touch of coffee to the biscuity base to give it a grown-up mocha vibe. The salted caramel layer takes the flavour of this frozen banoffee to another level, then I like to finish it all off with toffee-spiked cream – I process 100g homemade toffee and fold it through a small carton of cream that I’ve whipped – and toffee shards. It’s a little investment in time but believe me, it’s totally worth it. And because it’s frozen, it’s…

1 Chop the butter into evenly sized pieces to avoid any of the water evaporating before the butter melts, as this could affect the shape and height of the puffs. 2 It is important to add all the flour at once. If it’s added gradually, the first bit of flour will soak up too much water and the choux pastry will be less stable. 3 When cooking the dough in step 1, another good way to tell if it’s ready and the water is cooked off enough is that the spoon should be able to stand upright in it. 4 Don’t get impatient and add the egg too quickly. Adding it bit by bit, making sure it’s combined before each addition, ensures a smooth and glossy pastry. 5 Fill the…

Matt Q What’s the trick to get crispy skin on fish? First, pat the skin dry with paper towel. Now rub the skin with salt flakes and set it aside for at least 30 minutes. The salt helps draw the moisture from the skin. When it’s time to cook, scrape the salt off using the blunt edge of your knife. Then pat dry again. Start the fish in a cold, wide, heavy-based frying pan with a touch of oil and bring the pan up to a medium heat. Cook, skin side down, for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is golden and crispy. Gently flip the fish over and continue cooking for a further 2-3 minutes, depending on how you like your fish cooked. Remember, the fish will keep cooking through…

potato vs sweet potato Sweet potatoes have around six times the natural sugar of potatoes and 15 per cent more calories, but with those extra cals comes a big dose of the antioxidant beta-carotene – even more than you’ll find in carrots – which helps maintain skin and eye health. Sweet potatoes also have over four times the calcium and over three times the vitamin C, but potatoes have more potassium. winner: sweet potato cream cheese vs cottage cheese Brands vary, but cream cheese typically has almost half the protein of cottage cheese and over 2.5 times the calories, thanks to its higher fat content (over five times more). But with that extra fat comes over eight times the vitamin A. Both products usually contain additives, such as stabilisers and…

Before you give in and reach for that bar of chocolate, take a look at your lifestyle and ask if that is contributing to your need for a sweet treat. reduce stress levels Most of us are guilty of reaching for something comforting when emotions are running high.
