Here at delicious. it’s no secret that we love the big occasions (mostly when they involve the preparation and consumption of copious amounts of food). But that’s not to say we don’t relish what comes in between. The early days of spring, with the tentative shedding of layers and heady scent of greenery in the air, offer a much-needed pause before the madness of summer and festive goings-on. In the kitchen, too, it’s a chance to embrace new-season produce and leave heavy winter cooking behind, and each year around now, we see our readers gravitate towards the fresh, the fast and the low stress. This issue is dedicated to that easy, green mindset, full of recipes designed to carry you through from midweek mealtimes to casual Friday dinners and the first…

“A lovely classic combination. I get excited when asparagus comes into season, and this is one of my favourite ways to serve it: lightly blanched and chilled, with a classic gribiche. We’ve also made the addition of marinated white anchovy, or boquerones.”– James Cole Bowen For those who couldn’t make it to Europe this northern summer, take heart: there’s a new little slice of the French Riviera right here in Australia. Gibney, an opulent fine diner overlooking the beach in Cottesloe, WA, opened in May this year, and its stunning ocean views, colourful terrace umbrellas and sumptuous dining room are bringing some serious Mediterranean seaside vibes. “It’s funny, because we didn’t originally go down the French route from a design sense,” says Gibney’s owner, restaurateur George Kailis. “It just turned out that…

Table Manners, Sydney Elbows are allowed on the table at Bronte’s new rule-breaking restaurant, Table Manners. It’s the first solo venue from Alex Cameron, the former general manager of Franca, Parlar and Armorica.

Skip the sandwich for the smørrebrød, an open toastie topped with gravlax and a soft egg, or roasted beets and cashew spread. The Scandi-chic interiors are good-mood-boosting, with oak timber furniture coming together with soft sage shades and plenty…

An iconic pastry from Rome is now winning hearts here in Australia. Have you said ‘yes’ to maritozzi yet? Read our puff piece on why this Italian cream bun is having a moment right now. WHAT’S HOT: If you see someone in Italy with cream on their nose, now you know why. They’ve probably just eaten a maritozzo, a football-shaped brioche bun, sliced open and stuffed with billows of vanilla cream. Honour the tradition by eating it for breakfast (yes, this is officially a morning food) with a cappuccino on the side. SWEET HISTORY: Almost as eternal as the city itself, maritozzi dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was commonly given by men (marito meaning husband) to their future wives. As legend has it, a man would give his intended…
