A Magical Alistair Knox-Designed Rental In Eltham!

We can’t get enough of Eltham’s incredible mid-century houses, which consistently rate among the most popular home stories on The Design Files!

The couple’s rental property is an Alistair Knox-designed 1970s house that remains as solid and beautiful as the day it was built. 

After 10 years living in Thornbury and Coburg, the True North chef and trade manager at Pop and Scott are relishing their new life among the trees, while getting to know the longstanding locals (alpacas, horses, donkeys and kookaburras among them!).

Lemon Cake with Whipped Ricotta & Lemon Curd – The Design Files | Australia's most popular design blog.

SO SAD to be saying goodbye to our amazing contributor Julia Busuttil today!  We have loved sharing her incredible cakes with you this month, and we’re finishing up with another beauty!  Julia’s lemon cake is one of those delicious spongy soft ‘old fashioned’ cakes that is easy to make and so versatile – whilst she’s paired it here with whipped ricotta, homemade lemon curd and syrupy Amarena cherries, it can be easily adapted with whatever you have on hand.  As Julia says, even with just a dusting of icing sugar and a dollop of cream, this cake will delight!  HUGE THANKS to Julia for joining us this month, and don’t worry, I’m already brainstorming a return appearance…! – Lucy
