Australian/Japanese cookbook author, Emiko Davies, shares her culinary reflections from Tuscany. As an award-winning food/travel writer and photographer, Emiko has been inspiring her audiences with notes on regional Italian cuisine and travel for over a decade. Just try not to fall in love with her...

Style editor. Food stylist. Recipe developer. Author. There’s nothing Kirsten Jenkins can’t do. Including making us salivate every time she shares a foodie post on Instagram - and you’ll not only be instantly hungry, but inspired (she really knows how to make beautiful food not only taste good but look magazine worthy).

Seeing double? Meet Vikki and Helena Moursellas - double the talent, double the fun. The South Australian-born identical twins have a love for Greek cooking, entertaining and family.

Funny, intelligent and ridiculously talented, Lucy is like your modern day plate twirler, keeping many projects aloft at once. We spent 10 minutes in her company chatting about food, summer entertaining and of course - summer cocktails.

Picture that idyllic story of city girl turned to country life - and you’ve got Sophie Hansen. Sure we might be over-romanticising, however we love to dream about Sophie’s choice to live on a farm four hours west of Sydney, baking, writing and photographing her food, all the while juggling family and farm life. 

If you’ve ever eaten a meal prepared by Danielle Alvarez it’s likely to hold a special place in your memory. Seasonal and simple, every dish is a true celebration of local produce - prepared honestly and artfully, to enable each individual ingredient to shine.

Obsessions? Vic's got a few.. We've teamed up with six of our favourite Australian chefs, cooks, stylists, bakers and makers to celebrate the season ahead with plenty of inspiration focused on the hottest spot in the house: the kitchen.

One thing you should know about Vic is: she loves a good coffee. She can’t start the day without one.  And once she’s onto a good thing - she sticks to it. So she’s incredibly fortunate to have Berkelo at the top of her street - a quick walk from her home.
