1. What's your favourite dish to bring to a friend's?
My favourite dish would be either a potato salad or a pav! Our food director at Delicious, Phoebe Wood, creates a mod update on each of these classic recipes for our annual Christmas issue every year and they always become my new favourites. They are both impressive but effortless, and always appreciated by guests and a great talking point.
2. What's something you always have stocked in your fridge and / or pantry over the silly season?
I have so many things stocked for the silly season, you would probably be shocked. As my team knows, I am a Christmas/entertaining fanatic. So anything from good cheese (ie Pecora Diary), caviar (try the salmon roe from Yarra Valley Caviar), or finger limes for G&Ts, or great olives, seafood, charcuterie or pate from Victor Churchill, and always Champagne!
3. After a long day, what summer drink hits the spot?
Champagne always. Then gin - I love Four Pillars new Olive Leaf Gin which makes a great martini.
