Salute spring with a batch of blackberry gin

One of the most wonderful things about spring is that fresh produce is in abundance – whether at your local farmers market or in your humble backyard veggie patch. It is heartbreaking, however, when you can’t eat your way through your fresh goodies before they go bad. Here to make sure nothing ever goes to waste are Meredith Kirton and Mandy Sinclair with their book The Produce Companion. Divided into two parts, the book guides you through cultivating your own home garden, then gives you creative ideas for how to turn it into something delicious. The Garden section provides handy hints on when to harvest and pick produce and the correct way to store it, while The Recipes section features more than 100 recipes for your bounty of goods, including pickles, chutneys, vinegars, jams and drinks, such as this recipe for blackberry gin. more

Get creative with Snake Gully Bananas this weekend

You will never look at a banana the same way again once you realise the health benefits and many ways you can use them in your cooking. The humble banana is great as a quick snack, in a smoothie, topped with cinnamon or mushed up in a freshly baked moist banana bread, but this bent yellow fruit has so much more to offer. more

Taste the flavours of Singapore at Phil’s Dumpling Envy

Phil Lam is no stranger to the flavours of Singapore having grown up there in his youth and indulging in the likes of laksa, dumplings and noodles. After moving to Australia to study mathematics, Phil found he just couldn't find the same flavours from him that he was craving. And whilst he loved the flavours, he was in the sticky situation of not knowing how to cook – he didn't even know how to boil an egg. more

Stuff your face with a molten brownie jaffle

That's not a typo. You read it correctly. Molten. Brownie. Jaffle. No frills, no fuss. Literally just deliciously gooey, molten-centred chocolate brownie batter, sandwiched inside some good old-fashioned white bread and cooked to dessert perfection inside a humble jaffle maker.

Les Bubbles makes a splash in Fortitude Valley

In the late 1980s, Gerry Bellino and Vittorio Conte's Bubbles Bath-House was at the centre of the Fitzgerald Inquiry. Upstairs you could try your luck in the illegal casino, and if you lost, you could drown your sorrows downstairs with a little illicit pick-me-up in the massage parlour and spa. While the building's offerings may have changed somewhat since then, you can still expect to leave pretty darn satisfied. more

Stuff your face with chocolate-hazelnut ice-cream in brioche

In the south of Italy, ice-cream is consumed stuffed inside a brioche bun. And here we all are on the other side of the world, using cones and bowls like fools. This ice-cream burger revelation was brought to Sarah Coates' attention from one of her food idols, Nigella Lawson, and inspired her to create a version of her own. The talented food blogger and photographer has recently gathered a bunch of her favourite and most outrageous recipes to create a book, The Sugar Hit!, and this decadent chocolate-hazelnut ice-cream in brioche makes a welcome appearance.
