The April issue has just landed!

Long weekends are when family really comes to the forefront. It’s the time of comfort and communing over a shared meal with your people – whomever they may be. When memories are fortified by the scents and experience of good, easy food.

AN ABSOLUTE CHOCOLATE-CRAVING MELTDOWN

Make your long weekend unforgettable by sealing your meal with our decadent chocolate Easter fridge cake – made in under an hour. It is the shining star of our feature, It’s a meltdown, that introduces 8 brand new chocolate incarnations from our very own Abigail Donnelly. We’re talking malted waffles, macaroon-based butterscotch tart, and jammy éclairs. There’s no way to avoid surrendering to your cravings.
