Nourish Magazine - December 2017

In this issue

As we gear up to call time on 2017, and ready to designate another 12 months to the rearview mirror, the annual festive season invites us all to indulge in hearty Christmas fare, enjoy the odd glass of champagne, and bid au revoir to the calendar year flanked by our family and friends. That extra slice of cranberry sauce-drizzled turkey? Tempting. Another sampling of your aunt’s panettone Christmas cake? How could you say no? But a central theme of nourish’s December issue, which you happen to be holding in your hot, summery hands, preaches healthy ingredients and serving sizes amidst all the partying. Whether it be the plant-based approach that Harriet Birrell – or Natural Harry to you foodies – employs in her new book Whole, the hangover avoidance plan that Lisa O’Neill lays out, or a stress-free selection of food that’s high on flavour and low on effort that Sally O’Neil presents, this edition is aimed at getting the absolute most out of your yearly work-free break. And if you are looking for last-minute stocking-filler ideas, Australian cooking royalty Maggie Beer discusses her new book and ageing gracefully with our very own Maddie Lakos. Finally, from all the team at nourish magazine – our many designers, writers, editors, and managers – we’d like to wish you a merry Christmas, a happy new year, and a fun-loving, productive, and food-enriched 2018. We couldn’t do it without you.
