COCKTAIL SEASON • Curated by internationally renowned drinks expert Michael Madrusan and creative consultant Zara Madrusan, The Madrusan Cocktail Companion is a celebration of mixology at its finest. Featuring more than 2,800 recipes that span every era of the cocktail world, it’s the most comprehensive guide of its kind ever produced in Australia. In this feature, we’re sharing three standout recipes from the book, each one capturing the craft, creativity, and timeless spirit that make great cocktails unforgettable.

No-fuss French • French food has a way of feeling special, but it does not need to be complicated or reserved for fine dining. Bon App! brings the charm of French cooking into everyday kitchens with simple, fun recipes that anyone can make. Inspired by the author’s viral Instagram dishes, from cocktail style desserts to easy apéro bites loved by millions, this book proves that French flavours can be relaxed, approachable, and full of joy. It is packed with crowd pleasing ideas and fresh twists that make cooking feel like a little adventure, and we are sharing two of our favourites for you to try at home.

WEEKNIGHTS MADE EASY • Most of us want to cook a little better, eat a little healthier, and make smarter choices at the supermarket, but the idea of doing it all from scratch can feel overwhelming. The Weekly Grocery Shop, from Supermarket Swap founder Nabula El Mourid, brings things back to real life with smart, practical guidance for everyday households. Nabula shows how small changes in the aisles can lead to a week of easy, flavour packed meals that feel good to cook and eat. To give you a taste of her approach, we are sharing a selection of recipes from the cookbook that prove you do not need fancy ingredients or hours in the kitchen to enjoy great food at home.

BAKING MOMENTS • Baking has a way of bringing comfort, joy, and a little meaning to everyday life, and few understand that better than Helen Goh. Her debut cookbook, Baking & the Meaning of Life, blends her Malaysian and Australian upbringing, her decade of recipe development with Yotam Ottolenghi, and her background in psychology to create a thoughtful collection of sweet and savoury bakes. With 100 recipes that celebrate flavour, memory, and the emotional side of cooking, it is a book that goes beyond the kitchen. We are sharing three delicious recipes from its pages to give you a taste of Helen’s warm, clever, and utterly irresistible approach to baking.
