Staff Writer — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 03:46:53 +0000

By Olivia Williams There are a few sounds that instantly transport you back to childhood: the crack of a footy on a Saturday morning, the screech of a Hills Hoist spinning too fast, and the crinkle of a paper bag filled with something sweet, sticky or gloriously deep fried. South Australia has always punched well above its weight in the food department, and for many of us, our earliest memories are flavoured with the state’s most iconic treats. Frog cakes Adelaide’s sweet little time machine Equal parts adorable and terrifying depending on your age at first encounter, the Frog Cake

Staff Writer — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 03:30:27 +0000

Provecho: Real Mexican Food at Home by Daniella Guevara Muñoz Ceviche has the perfect balance of sweetness, creaminess and tanginess. It’s delicious and super fresh, especially with a few drops of habanero hot sauce. This dish always takes me back to cave diving near Akumal in the Yucatán Peninsula. A friend of ours would make this at home and bring it to the dive site. After the dive, we’d get stuck into cold beers and this delicious fish ceviche with mango and avocado. Perfect for coastal summer entertaining. Ingredients This ceviche serves 4 people. To serve Method In a glass

Alex Hill’s one-man-play returns, and he’s veritably exploding with energy as football fanatic Billy Kinley, a character drawn from a viral video where some wildly overexcited guy did exactly what the title says.

We then get to know more about this London lad and the people around him, including longtime bestie Adam, new girlfriend Daisy, and the rather more dangerous ‘Winegum’. We’re at first

From delicate King George whiting and sweet blue swimmer crabs to southern calamari and sardines, some of the world’s most sought-after seafood comes from our own waters. Coffin Bay oysters, Spencer Gulf prawns and Southern Rock Lobster have become staples along the coastline that locals know and love. As the warmer months roll around and long lunches and easy dinners become part of the rhythm of life, seafood naturally takes centre stage. Buying locally caught seafood means better flavour, greater freshness
