There is no time like the present to celebrate the very best of Australia! In our fresh November edition, we’re celebrating our great southern land: the regions, the people, the restaurants and the produce all take centre stage for the Best of Oz issue. And this year, they need our support like never before.

In this edition, we reveal the winners of the 2020 delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards, the country’s most prestigious food industry campaign. The Awards celebrate all of our country’s new, most innovative, native and consistently outstanding Australian ingredients grown, caught, sourced or produced with dedication, passion, knowledge and regard for the environment.

And we’re also unveiling our brand new #ProduceToYou box, which –– for the very first time –– gives everyone nationwide a chance to have the very best of Australian produce delivered directly to their doorstep. It’s the simplest (and most delicious) ways to support Australian producers through these tough times.

Looking for entertaining ideas? delicious. food director Phoebe Wood considers summer parties In a New Light, creating modern Italian dishes that will help you welcome the new season. From tangy kingfish crudo and spicy salami pizza to fresh prawn and tomato pasta –– these dishes are set to become the flavours of summer. There’s even a pink grapefruit gin spritz that we’ll definitely be drinking all through the warmer months.

Aussie superstar chef Bill Granger returns this month to spread good vibes with an unmissable feature starring tasty fresh flavours from his new book Australian Food. The potato and feta fritters with smoked salmon are destined to become a beloved brunching staple throughout the holiday season, while his crab and chilli linguine will woo both seasoned travellers and pasta devotees alike.

Meanwhile legend Colin Fassnidge shares a few recipes from his new book, The Commonsense Cook, including a moreish baked baby snapper with chorizo, and unbelievably tasty greens and ricotta turnovers.

Love entertaining but don’t love the dishes? Dominic Smith’s genius one pan hacks will make family gatherings and dinner parties a breeze. Whatever the occasion, it’s impossible to go past roasted chicken, fennel, silverbeet and potato bake; or risoni with pork and fennel meatballs in tomato sauce. Once your nearest and dearest taste these dishes, you may very well be asked to host everything!

What’s more Aussie than a savoury pie? Matt Moran is serving up stylish new spins on the Australian pastry classic, including zucchini and cheddar pies and an oh-so-tasty Moroccan spiced eggplant with cauliflower mash.

And for those who simply can’t say no to something sweet, delicious. food director Phoebe Wood and style editor Kirsten Jenkins are upping the ante on the beloved mud cake. Just wait until you taste the banana, peanut butter and caramel mud cake… it’s positively heavenly.
