Lizzie’s Hummingbird Cake
The hummingbird cake is an Australian favourite. This recipe is deliciously moist, packed with fresh bananas and crushed pineapple, and topped with a tart lemon cream cheese frosting.

Strawberry, rhubarb, almond, vanilla and a hint of black pepper make this a sophisticated summer treat.
When we were staying at the Zillers Hotel in Athens, we discovered an old-world café on the corner of the square. The walls were covered in wallpaper with green ferns. Each time we visited we ordered the Cretan ricotta and onion phyllo pies. This is our attempt at re-creating that magic.

While you are waiting for the pies to cook, think about three micro ways you can bring more joy into your home. For example, putting away items related to work, bringing in some flowers from the garden, or displaying some fresh fruit. Changing the space with the seasons is a powerful way to lift your mood. Pastel colours, like muted blues, yellows and eggshell white invite Spring and renewal.
This recipe is an excellent addition to summer dinner parties or as an easy mid-week meal for the whole family – it’s simple to prepare, but impressive on the flavour.
Inspired by Melbourne’s City Wine Shop – a bustling Italian bistro (and bottle shop) serving masterful dishes with a balanced selection of European and Australian wines – this pasta will have you feeling like you are dining in an alfresco trattoria in 10 minutes.
Spring means rhubarb. When cooked down, these long blush stalks turn into a delicious sweet and sour compote. Make a batch and have this on hand to dollop onto porridge, yoghurt or vanilla ice cream. It also makes for a seasonal alternative in trifle-style desserts.

“The magic in new beginnings is truly the most powerful of them all.” Josiyah Martin
Spring is the real start of the new year, as the vernal equinox marks the time for renewal. Harness the power of new beginnings and use Spring as a time to plan and prepare. Let go of that which no longer serves you, physically and spiritually, with a Spring clean. Use this time to detox with nature’s spring greens – asparagus, spinach, sprouting broccoli, nettle, wild garlic, pea shoots and watercress, just to name a few.
Celebrating blood orange and fennel, this fresh side salad pairs well with pork or pasta dishes. It also makes a beautiful starter with pan-seared scallops.
Welcome Spring-time with the fresh combination of pea and mint. This soup is perfect for freezing and is full of plant protein.
