My mum and I celebrate our birthdays a couple of days apart, and after not getting to celebrate at all last year we were determined to do something lovely this year. Lunch in the Yarra Valley seemed like an excellent idea, and we settled on Many Hands Winery as our venue of choice. We were very glad we did!
After a delicious meal at Maha a few years back, we had tried to eat at the conveniently-close-to-home Maha Bar for a while now. Two separate lockdowns ruined our plans, but we finally managed a visit a few weeks ago and it was well worth the wait! Here’s what we ate!
This pomegranate pistachio israeli couscous salad is seriously simple, but also seriously tasty. It’s ready in no time at all, making it perfect as part of a lunch with friends or to take to a picnic. It’s vegan friendly too!
We recently spent a few days down in Inverloch and one of the dining highlights was dinner at Tomo’s Japanese. I thought I’d share my thoughts on the food in case you’re planning on heading down that way this summer too. Spoiler alert, I highly recommend you book a table!
These mushroom kimchi cheddar sausage rolls make the perfect picnic or snack food – as good for party snacks as they are for lunches! I know the flavour combo sounds a little out there, but everyone I have served these for has loved them. If you’re looking for something to serve with drinks over summer I highly recommend you give these a try!
