The living is easy in January and February, the two most summery of months covered in Taste’s double issue. It is double value too, stuffed full with 220 recipes and ideas. Here you’ll find dishes that are seasonal, quick, outdoorsy and relatively inexpensive. Some are downright cheap. Destitute Gourmet Sophie Gray whips up family dinners for an impressively low $11. Chef Luca Villari gets behind the barbecue with new ideas that move way past bangers and Julie Biuso offers tempting ways with your catch of the day.
There are delicious dishes for tomatoes, stone fruits, plums and sweetcorn and wonderful ice creams that can be made without an ice cream machine. We have loads of quick mealtime favourites, tasty recipes for tortillas and 101 easy summer ideas — 10 ways each with salmon, chicken breasts, eggs, pizza and pasta, steak, salads, kitchen standbys, nice things to eat on toast, easy deli meals and 11 nifty desserts. All guaranteed to be whipped up in a jiffy so, in no time at all, you can rejoin friends and family outdoors.
You might not like to think about it if you are reading this in early January, but in these pages we move past holiday dining, with sweet and savoury lunchbox ideas for the new school and working year. They’ll be sure to help solve that tiresome midday-meal dilemma.
Look out, too, for our new dedicated health section which includes a very useful piece on nutrition on a budget, a double-banger after Christmas spending and overindulging, a feature on family dental health and another on ways to lower your cholesterol.
