Sunrise hikes, intense heat, vivid blue
skies and twilight purples. A magical trip
to the Outback proved the ultimate
escape from the city.@_emmajhollandWhere we’ve been
standout salads, Tony Tan’s easy
midweek feasts, and simple vegetable-
led dishes. We also spoke to chefs
who’ve swapped their busy city jobs
for positions where they can work at
their own pace. Plus, Casey Wall
has shared his killer red-sauce recipes
from Melbourne newcomer Capitano,
which are both clever and versatile,
with a tomato sauce that can be turned
into any number of dishes, pronto.
And that’s what we like.

here’s a lot to be said for
learning how to slow down
a little in life. Making time
to relax and be mindful,
stop the endless rushing from A to B,
and (attempting to) embrace the art
of doing nothing at all.
What seems so simple, though,
often isn’t, and it’s frustrating how some
thingsalways seem to get in the way.
There’s still always work to be done,
socialising to do, and of course, mouths
(yours or your family’s) to feed. And
then there’s that barbecue you promised
to host, and the birthday party you’ve
been asked to bring a salad along to.
Because we love the idea of taking
a slower, more relaxed approach to
life, this, our Fast issue, is dedicated
to keeping things speedy in the kitchen.
Because when you have clever, inspiring
dishes that take less time to create,
it all helps to lighten the load.
There are new recipes for quick
skewers that’ll easily feed a crowd
at that late-summer barbecue, plusMatthew Hirsch, contributor;

Even shaggy alpacas roaming the verdant
stretches of Peru’s aptly named Sacred
Valley are hungry for their 15 minutes of

An early swim, quick fish for whiting and
a successful morning pulling up craypots
was the Christmas Day I had dreamt of
all year. Lunch is served.
