Recently we shared the 1870s church turned family home of Sarah Hall. Now, it’s her sister and business partner at Read&Hall Emma Read’s turn!
Located in Willunga, the same small town on South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula, Emma’s home is an equally charming bungalow, shared with her husband Matt Read, and children Tuesday 13, Reggie 10, and Abel, 7.
The family have slowly renovated this house over the past 12 years, introducing more natural light and incredible vintage finds along the way. Every item has a story, all of which add to the home’s unique character.
With all the craziness in the world right now, escaping to an idyllic country cottage with a stocked bookshelf in Victoria’s relaxation capital sounds mighty attractive. Here to fill that void is Poets Lodge – a newly opened accommodation in Daylesford.
Purchased in 2017 as a dilapidated 1850s house and cottage, wife and husband team Angeline and Richard O’Bryan have since fully restored both properties, and added a new but thoroughly sympathetic third component.
Dream jobs can be few and far between, especially in the time between finishing your studies, and finding your first paid gig after uni. The pathways are often vague and unclear, especially when it comes to creative careers. The best way to learn is to find someone who has tread the path well before you, and ask them everything you can.
In this instalment of Words from the Wise, recent graduate of Master of Architecture at Monash Art, Design + Architecture Haroula Karapanagiotidis does just that, with director of Sibling Architecture, Timothy Moore. The established architect imparts some refreshing advice about leaning into your enthusiasm, not waiting for permission, and shooting for the stars.

Today our very own Lisa Marie Corso is BACK with another LMC lunchtime classic – bruschetta. Basically, fancy Italian toast.
Lisa loves ricotta. She buys a big tub and brings it into work on a Monday, then somehow weaves it into every meal she consumes that week. Her ricotta bruschetta is so simple it barely warrants a recipe – you can’t really go wrong with toasted crunchy bread and a generous slathering of good ricotta, topped with fresh tomatoes / herbs / zucchini / salmon, and a drizzle of olive oil. Too easy.
Today our very own Lisa Marie Corso is BACK with another LMC lunchtime classic – the ‘Chicken Cotolleta’ (i.e. Italian chicken schnitzel) sandwich.
Lisa is the queen of forward planning all her food. There is no ‘nothing in the pantry’ moment in Lisa’s world. Her idea of a bedtime ritual is pan frying home-made schnitzel, which is why it is possible for her to eat one of these delicious chicken cotolleta rolls for lunch at work on a weekly basis, despite our very menial office kitchen set up. Finished with a crunchy apple and fennel slaw, this is classic Corso fare.
A new month means a NEW Tasty Tuesday contributor, and today our very own Lisa Marie Corso steps into the kitchen!
LMC is a seriously multi-talented lass. She’s a hilarious writer and editor. She’s an excellent emailer, event planner and social butterfly. She’s a brilliantly bossy and endlessly efficient office manager. But above all, the girl can COOK. (She is Italian, after all.)
In the TDF offices, Lisa’s lunches have become legendary. This is a girl who ALWAYS has a plan for lunch. She never arrives at work without at least 3 Tupperware containers, from which she will carefully compile a delectable 3-part salad or Instagram-worthy open sandwich, or some other inspired lunchtime feast. She’s been known to eat lunch at 11.00am, and frankly, we can see why. Lisa is the queen of lunch.
Today we are sad to farewell Kate Berry of Lunch Lady as our Tasty Tuesday contributor for May! Awwwww.
For Kate’s final recipe she shares a decadent treat that combines her all time favourite flavour combo – chocolate and peanut butter. These muffins are easy to make and even easier to eat!
Kate Berry of Lunch Lady is back today with another kid friendly meal idea. This week she shares her super easy vegetable and fetta hand pies – although you could substitute basically any vegetable you happen to have lying around. Kate calls this one her ‘true midweek CBF meal’!
Today Madeleine Dore of Extraordinary Routines joins us again, with the daily routine of self-taught Sydney baker, creative dessert queen and social media darling Katherine Sabbath.
Katherine started baking at home while working as a high school teacher. She never imagined her hobby would become a busy full-time job, or that her passion for creating Willy Wonka-esque culinary creations would amass a cult following of over 300,000 Instagram fans!
These days, Katherine’s days are jam packed, and usually involve a morning boot camp to kick start the day, followed by developing and testing recipes, collaborating with likeminded brands, photo shoots, and preparing and teaching baking workshops.
Kate Berry of Lunch Lady is back today with another kid and parent friendly meal idea. This week she shows us how to make mini sourdough pizzas. The wonkier the better!
A new month is upon us, which means a new Tasty Tuesday contributor. This month we welcome Kate Berry, aka the ‘Lunch Lady‘! Lunch Lady is Kate’s blog and quarterly print magazine, all about food + family.
Kate is kicking off the month with her amazing ‘Chocnana Pops’, which are such a genius yet ridiculously easy snack idea, they barely warrant a recipe!
Today we are sad to farewell this month’s Tasty Tuesday contributor, Ashley Alexander of Gather & Feast!
We’ve loved Ashley’s easy, wholesome food ideas over the last few weeks, and this last one is no exception. This super quick recipe is ideal served as a pre-dinner accompaniment to impress hungry guests while you get the main course underway. A tasty combination of fresh ricotta, sautéed greens and crunchy, garlicky sourdough crumbs.
Today Ashley Alexander of Gather & Feast shares her simple, super tasty roast pear salad with prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella. Three exceptionally delicious ingredients, all on one plate! The star of the dish really are the sweet roasted pears – the perfect combo with salty prosciutto, peppery rocket and creamy fresh mozzarella.
Today Ashley Alexander of Gather & Feast shares her failproof gluten-free flatbreads! Ashley combines yoghurt and buckwheat into her flatbread base, lending a nutty and slightly sweet taste to the dough, and tops them with fresh goats cheese, bean sprouts and blistered tomatoes. This is a nutritious alternative to pizza, but truly no less delicious!
A new month is upon us, which means a new Tasty Tuesday contributor! This month we welcome local foodie Ashley Alexander of Gather & Feast. Ashley is a self-taught cook with a focus on wholesome, in-season food, designed to be shared – we love her beautiful food blog!
Ashley is kicking off the month with her amazing Spelt and Maple Apple Tarte Tatin! ‘This is not your typical tarte tatin’ she says! In her slightly more rustic take on this decadent French ‘upside down’ tart, Ashley opts for stone ground spelt flour, with pure maple syrup and raw honey as sweeteners.
We’re sad to farewell Mauro Callegari of The Independent in Gembrook as this month’s Tasty Tuesday contributor!
