Delicious Australia – (12)December 2018

LOCAL LOVE:I have just finished reading the September
issue and I’m inspired! Having travelled the world and lived overseas
for 10 years, I am so proud to be home in Australia again with all of
these amazing places to visit and feast upon. My pin-up board is now
full of new locations, new ingredients and new recipes to test on my
unsuspecting family. I can’t wait! Thank you for the inspiration.

THE WINNER IS...

I received my first copy ofdelicious.in August, and haven’t looked back. The Italian

issue enticed me to cook from the moment I opened it, whisking me away to sunshine

and salty water, with baby octopus and ‘nduja (Faster Food, p 102), to a farmhouse in

Abruzzo with Silvia Colloca’s lasagne Teramane (p 117), then to a New York diner with

Shannon Bennett’s meatballs in tomato sauce (p 88), which was as iconic as promised.

What’s more, the delightful photos and unique styling had me hooked – I subscribed

right away! So pleased I found you and can’t wait for more.Courtney Daniels

cooking! Rebecca Hambour

READ IT AND EAT:I start readingdelicious.in the Talk to

Us section. Then I go and grab the edition referred to in the letters

from other readers. This way, I often find recipes I haven’t previously

tried. In September, I was cooking Matt Preston’s Mexican black bean

& corn nachos from the June issue (p 97), a great recipe that I hadn’t

really considered adding to my repertoire until now. I find this reader

advice invaluable and a brilliant way to check that I really use every

great recipe indelicious.So a huge thanks to all the readers who take

the time to write and ‘talk’ to me every month. Now off to check

Instagram to see what else I may have missed. Cressida Crossley
