Undoubtedly, one of the most popular foodies we covered last year was the delightful Tamsin Carvan of Tamsin’s Table.  There is SO MUCH to love about Tamsin’s inspiring little business, and the idyllic life she has created for herself and daughter Martha amongst the beautiful rolling hills of South Gippsland. In November, Tamsin joined us for Tasty Tuesday, sharing four seasonal recipes from her kitchen. Her individual leek tarts with freshly picked flower salad were an instant TDF favourite!  Photogenic and delicious.

Today we finish up our highlights of 2014 with this wonderful recipe from Tamsin.  Next week Tasty Tuesday is officially BACK, with all new recipes!

When engaged to design the conversion of a Redfern factory into apartments, SJB director Adam Haddow jumped at the chance to purchase the penthouse. 

These days, you’ll likely find Adam and his husband relaxing in their now complete apartment, opening to a spectacular multi-zoned, rooftop garden created by William Dangar of Dangar Barin Smith. 

This home is an example of what can be achieved when an inner-city rooftop’s potential is truly harnessed!

There’s nothing The Design Files does better than find promising new up-and-comers in the world of design, if we do say ourselves! But the finalists in the Emerging Designer category of the TDF + Laminex Design Awards 2021 are a cut above the rest.

From furniture makers and fashion designers to blossoming architecture practices, these ten talented finalists represent the future of our national design industry. This category is presented by Phoenix Tapware.
