A food and prop stylist currently
living in New York, Redman-Lloyd
says she would jump on a
plane every month if it meant
working withGourmet Traveller.
And she did just that to style this
month’s cauliflower feature. “The
collaborative, creative energy
that happens on aGTshoot is
something I always strive for on
my own sets here in New York,”
she says. “And being able to
graze on Lisa Featherby’s food
makes it that much sweeter.”KENDALL HILL

High life, low season, p
The Austrian Alps, best known
as a winter retreat of epic ski
runs and élite resorts, are
definitely open for summer, too.
On an action-packed itinerary
in the Arlberg region, Hill
discovers superb gastronomy,
diverse cultural events and
exhilarating mountain hikes.
“With fewer tourists, summer is
a much more relaxed season,”
he says. “It’s a moment when
locals have time to sit and
share their stories.”JOHN LAURIE

Nile gazing, p
The chance to see “the very
foundations of civilisation” in
Egypt was a “double-rainbow
experience” for Laurie. Aboard
Sanctuary Sun Boat IV, he drifts
along the Nile – “the logical place
to make sense of a nation that
exists as much in the imagination
as reality”. Along the way he
captures the splendour of ancient
Egyptian architecture, the detail
of its art, and everyday, human
moments in the laneways of its
cities. “A photographer’s dream.”LAUREN ELDRIDGE

Masterclass, p
Lauren Eldridge is head pastry
chef for The Van Haandel Group,
which includes the Stokehouse
restaurants in Melbourne and
Brisbane. After training at
Sydney’s Marque, then staging
across France and Italy, she
finally settled in Melbourne.
This month, she describes how
the best salted caramel involves
a little risk. “I take mine right
to the edge,” she says. “That
way the bitterness counteracts
the sweetness.”p 122
