Hamantashen Time. Purim is here!
It’s hamantashen time at our place. The Jewish festival of Purim is coming soon. Hamantashen is the name for the sweet three-cornered filled pastry served
AUTUMN IS HERE.
Let's get cooking!
Today marks the 51st anniversary of Earth Day, what began as a student protest movement in the 1970s is now the largest secular observance in the world. The annual event is a time to contemplate the future of the planet and ask what we’re doing to help preserve it for future generations. ‘Together, We Can Restore Our Earth’ is this year’s official Earth Day theme.
One of the easiest ways we can be good citizens of the earth is to eat locally grown, in season produce wherever possible. By eating locally, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint as the food has less distance to travel before it reaches our plate. Below you’ll find a list of some of our favourite fruit and veg that are currently in season here in Australia.

Lisa embraces the part of Jewish culture which embodies the saying ‘it’s always about the food’. She is a fresser with an unbridled passion for eating, cooking and nurturing those around her with food. Her legal background has given her a great foundation to help guide – and work side by side with – this truly amazing bunch of kind, funny and enlightening women to produce and publish four extraordinary cookbooks. She feels incredibly grateful to have had (and still has) the opportunity – since 2006 – to spend so much of her time dedicated to, and fully immersed in, such a delicious, inspiring and worthwhile project.
