DEVASTATED to say farewell today to our favourite local foodie, Julia Busuttil Nishimura! Julia’s comforting Autumnal recipes have made the transition to wintery weather just a little more bearable for me this month. Thanks too to Melbourne ceramicist Jessilla Rogers for her input, creating all the stunning tableware featured in this month’s recipes!
Julia leaves us today with a melt-in-your mouth recipe, just perfect for a wintery weekend feast.
Photographer Marnie Hawson has a talent for capturing intimate, slightly rustic spaces in regional areas around the country… so its no surprise that her own home firmly fits within this category!
Marnie and her husband, whisky specialist Ryan Hawson, moved into this house in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges two weeks before their wedding. They didn’t plan to stay long, but nine years later, they’re still here!
The couple has made some changes to the 1890s cottage since then, namely a kitchen refurbishment and recent garden landscaping. Their styling and private bar (!) pays tribute to the history of the site, including the area’s former local post office.
