Late yesterday, we learned of the passing of Valli Little, the launching food director of delicious. magazine and an enormous influence in the shaping of the brand since its inception.

Valli’s passion for food and creating imaginative, inspiring recipes has been celebrated by numerous readers over the past 16 years, and set her apart as one of the most respected food journalists in Australia. Her bestselling cookbooks have filled homes with joy, and will continue to do so.

We are deeply saddened at the news of her passing and our thoughts are with her family at this time.

In memory of the wonderful contribution Valli made to delicious., here is a collection of our most treasured of her recipes.
