Subscribing to a healthy diet has never been as confusing, polarising and unpredictable as now. Nutritional guidelines are forever changing, and certain foods go from being glorified to vilified and vice versa. This weekend in delicious. on Sunday, in Stellar magazine, we tackle a welter of common food misconceptions. We consulted nutritionists, dieticians, academics and chefs on the best types of protein, whether detoxing is legit, and the gluten-free and Paleo movements among other subjects. The story is essential reading for anyone who harbours healthy scepticism.

In our weekly meal plan, renowned chef Shannon Bennett shares his recipes for integrating superfoods (like avocado, brazil nuts and broccolini) into scrumptious, everyday meals. “Eating smarter doesn’t have to be a chore,” says Bennett. “Superfoods can easily be incorporated into your midweek meals.” In his regular column, Matt Preston consults his passport for inspiration in the kitchen. Looking back on recent trips to everywhere from Stockholm to Istanbul, Preston distils his wanderlust into accessible ideas for the home cook.

delicious. on Sunday also includes the latest news and reviews for each state on the eastern seaboard. In this week’s NSW paper, Anthony Huckstep ventures to Olio in Chippendale. For the VIC edition, Dan Stock heads to the upscale beer hall Stomping Ground in Melbourne’s Collingwood. In QLD, Anooska Tucker-Evans appraises 35 Bar & Bistro in South Brisbane.
