In this issue of delicious. on Sunday, in Stellar magazine, Anthony Huckstep braves the elements to find out about cooking with fire. Fire allows us to enjoy the natural character of an ingredient. “What fire does to ingredients can’t be replicated by other cooking techniques,” says chef Lennox Hastie of Sydney’s Firedoor. “The ritual of cooking over fire is one of the most human things you can do,” he says.

In our weekly meal plan, chef Al Brown shares some recipes from his new cookbook Eat Up New Zealand, ranging from roasted eggplant with creamed cauliflower and salsa verde on Monday to Puspa’s chicken curry on Friday. Meanwhile, in his regular column, Matt Preston gives you tips on getting your barbecue ready for summer.

delicious. on Sunday also includes the latest news and reviews for each state on the eastern seaboard. In this week’s NSW edition, Anthony Huckstep rediscovers Cafe Sydney. For the VIC edition, Dan Stock visits CHE, Fitzroy. In QLD, Anooska Tucker-Evans heads to Sparrow Eating House, Nobby Beach.

delicious. on Sunday appears in Stellar every weekend. Stellar is available in The Sunday Telegraph in New South Wales, the Sunday Herald Sun in Victoria, and The Sunday Mail in Queensland.
