Can you believe it’s May already? It seems like just the other day it was the mid-summer (although if you’re from Sydney you’re probably asking, “What summer?”), and now the short days and chilly nights are telling us that winter is almost here again. It’s always tempting at this time of year to hunker down with a hot chockie and wait for it to warm up again, but this year, why not do it differently? Here at Table, we think May is the perfect time to finally get around to making those healthy-habit changes we’ve been talking about since the New Year, which is why our new issue (on-sale now from Coles supermarkets and newsagents) is all about health. Don’t worry; we’re not suggesting you go on a 20km run before breakfast or put the family on a wheatgerm and grapefruit diet. If we wouldn’t do it, we’re certainly not going to ask you to. Instead, we’ve listened to what you are interested in (thanks for all the letters and emails - keep them coming!) and put ...

What do you want from a recipe? Unless you’re a qualified chef chances are it’s not a lengthy list of obscure ingredients and a long, involved method that keeps you tied to the cooktop for hours at a time.

In Australian Table’s March Issue, now available from Coles supermarkets and newsagents, we have 70+ recipes ready in under 30 minutes, including lots that are on the table in just 15 minutes.

This probably won’t come as a surprise, but according to a recent survey by BeefEater Barbecues, women do 79% of the shopping for barbecues, 93% of the preparation for salads and sides, and 65% of the cleaning up afterwards, yet a whopping 44% of women say that it’s the bloke manning the tongs who gets all of the credit for a job well done! Typical, huh? In Australian Table’s Summer Holiday Issue, now available from Coles supermarkets and newsagents, we help you make the most of your barbie with new ideas for seafood, meat and even vegetarian meals. Plus, we’ve got great grilling tips, a must-read barbecue safety guide for when things heat up, and loads of great prizes to win – all you need to do is share your favourite barbecue memories and recipes.

How are you holding up? We’re all well into the silly season and if you’re anything like us here at Australian Table, weariness is starting to set in. Maybe it’s the busy whirl of work-related functions, boozy backyard barbies and mid-week catch-ups with old friends, or maybe it’s just the end of a long year, but roll on those summer holidays! Here at Table we’ve been literally counting down the days until we close the office, while simultaneously putting together our breezy Summer Holiday Issue (look out for it in Coles Supermarkets and newsagents from 27 th Dec). Of course, the real challenge at this time of year – especially for a group of people like us who really love food – is trying not to overindulge too much in the food and alcohol departments. Tricky? Well, yes, but we’ve put our heads together and come up with some strategies for getting through the party season without having to undo the top button of your jeans. Don’t ...
