Hello Fresh
I have tried almost every kind of delivery service set to ship fresh ingredients to your house. Now I do not consider myself an experienced chef, nor would anyone who has eaten my food previously. I have always been someone who mixed ingredients and recipes to create my own concoctions. I also have never been a fan of planning a list of needed ingredients and going to fight the crowds at a grocery store to purchase them, only to forget a key ingredient in the recipe. But thankfully, with companies like Hello Fresh, the stress is taken away from you.

Eat Play Stay Spain—A Story of Tapas Part 1
Everyone who visits Spain wanting to taste the real España will return home having tasted wonderful regional and also seasonal dishes, perhaps during a leisurely lunch in the shade, drinking that ever familiar jug of Sangria, or dinner in the evenings, relaxing with an exquisite bottle of wine, perusing the menu and ordering delights such as paella, pan-fried hake, clam, chorizo & white bean stew, gazpacho, cocido, cod pavías, amazing soups and stews, tasty roasted meat dishes and fresh salads, and let's not forget about the Churros with chocolate dipping sauce. There is something else we are familiar and head over heels in love with from Spain, and that is tapas. Tapas entice all the senses; they can be a dining event or a snack with a beer, and you cannot help but fall in love with the sociality of them. From bar snacks to fine dining experiences, tapas are a traditional taste of España and a concept that is inextricably part of Spanish culture.

Easy, Cheating Prawn and Cream Cheese Risotto
I created this dish this evening, a bit too lazy to cook for long, but wanting luxury. Welcome to my world of decadent risotto. Whilst not a slow cook dish, do not rush it. There is something quite zen about creating a lazy risotto. A glass of chilled white wine and some classical music in a softly lit kitchen, a few strategically placed candles, and you will lose yourself in your task. It is one of those dishes that looks much more difficult and decadent than it really is.

Mind-Blowing Things That Are Now Sold Wine-Infused. Top Story - January 2018.
Modern infatuation with food culture has ushered in a new age of experimentation with flavor pairings, food infusions, and culinary chimeras of every stripe. Because people's fondness for edibles is rivaled only by our wine love, it was only a matter of time before the wine-infused food and cooking item market exploded, as it did with sriracha, and bacon before that. Here are nine entries in an ever-expanding field of ubiquitous wine-laced goods that oenophiles can purchase in less time than it takes to pour a glass of Syrah.

Australia's Culinary Capital Turning to Native Bushfood to Diversify Menus
Melbourne is known as Australia's culinary capital to most natives and foodies around the world. Part of what makes Melbourne special is the fact that many restaurateurs take interesting chances with their food. It should be noted that 40 percent of the people in this city were born overseas, which could explain the diversity here.

Food as a Placemaker
My favourite meal? The smell of anticipation as the stew simmers before a Sunday evening meal. The comfort of dipping a homemade biscuit in the leftover juices. Paired with a favourite wine and a chocolate cookie for dessert. This, and so many others, can transport me to another time and place. A comfortable memory, a feature of home enriched with haptic dimensions in more ways than I can count. But it is, as we adult our way past childhood homes, difficult to recreate in the same way. These recipes have built community in many places—as products of local resources, a way to survive another day. And with proper nutrition, thrive too. When a building can be transformed by sharing the love of food, the layers of story keep the place standing into legacy status.
