MAKE THE DISH We always love seeing you recreate the recipes in Nourish, and so were super stoked to be inundated with pictures of you making Fiona Hugues’ pumpkin rose tart from our autumn edition. Here are just a few. This season we are challenging you to make my lemon meringue cake on page 52.

UYO FRIDAY AT THE SHACK I love businesses that go the extra mile to do good, and The Shack in Raglan are a shining example of this. They recently signed up to a nationwide campaign, Use Your Own Friday, but the truth is, they have been promoting use your own for some time! Along with an array of beautiful keep cups, they also have a mug library and recently added some Shack plates and bowls that locals can borrow to take their lunch away in. I’d love to see more eateries encouraging customers to bring their own cup or container or, better still, more customers seeing the importance of this and changing their habits.
SANS SULFITES AJOUTÉS
3.
There is nothing like a beautiful red wine during the winter months (or if you're from my family, any time of the year). For some though the sulphites in wine can cause headaches, asthma and allergic reactions. Brigid from La Cave says, “Although there is no such thing as a wine that is 100% sulphite free as sulphites are produced during the alcohol fermentation process, choosing wines like those from Buzet Sans with no added sulphites could help.” If you haven’t already discovered La Cave on Riverlea Road in Hamilton maybe this is a reason to. Plus don’t forget Bastille Day on the 14th of July, surely that’s a good enough excuse to raise a glass of French wine and maybe tuck into some cheese.
