Enjoy the best from our own backyard at Newstead’s Pantry 360

We no longer have to point to individual producers as cases to prove it – Newstead's Pantry 360 has brought the best of them together to make it easier on us all. Some of the finest produce in the state can be found at the new cafe-meets-grocer, which is stocking choice morsels from within a 360-km radius of Brisbane, while also creating a menu of top tucker from its sizeable haul. more

The Weekend Series: desk lunches that don’t suck courtesy of Lettuce Lunch

09 Feb 2017

There’s nothing worse than being (figuratively) chained to your work desk all through lunch. Whether it be because of tight deadlines or simply a mountain of work that must get done, sometimes it’s not feasible to go out for lunch when you want. Desk lunches are an unfortunate necessity of office life, but it’s rarely a source of culinary inspiration. If your desk neighbour is giving you some fierce food envy with their freshly bought lunch or you are sick of your bland sandwiches and tinned tuna, we suggest improving your meal prep game. We recruited the services of Carlton Talbot of Lettuce Lunch to give us some killer recipes to try. Lettuce Lunch is a thriving recipe repository that educates thousands on nifty vegetarian meals that are perfect for work. Without further ado, here are five lunch boxes that’ll be the talk of the office – we guarantee it. more

As anyone who has started and failed a healthy eating resolution will tell you, eating right isn’t always stimulating to the taste palate.

Mylk + Ko on Merthyr Road is making eating mindfully easy with a range of colourful and tasty dishes that go far beyond acai bowls (they’ve got those too). Sure, red velvet waffles and stacked milkshakes don’t sound like they’d be good for your waistline, but you’d be surprised. Mylk + Ko is opening today (Thursday February 2) and is ready to enlighten you. more

Sample the flavours of the state with e’cco bistro’s venison tartare

It’s no secret that the Sunshine State is practically overflowing with amazing produce. We’re very spoiled when it comes to top-notch fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy. In 2016 we celebrated the best Queensland produce in town through the Taste of Queensland Awards, pitting restaurants, cafes and food trucks against one another to see who could plate up the best dish using the best produce. e’cco bistro blew us away with its scrumptious duck breast, so much so that we decided to stop by again to scope out another Queensland-born dish – the venison tartare with beetroot crisp.  more

Eighteen months ago he stepped away from the restaurant to embark on a new solo venture and the result, at last, is Detour. more
