But it soon became apparent we were on to something special. Here we"ve compiled five of the best recipes from our favourite features collected throughout the years. We know you will like them as much as we do. Our recipes are easy, exciting and, of course, always delicious!. So whether you want a scrumptious midweek meal or a special recipe for a dinner party, you"ll find something to suit any occasion. And because the are delicious recipes, you can rest assured that they"ll work the first time and you won"t have to travel miles to find the ingredients. Our philosophy has always been to inspire, but to keep things real.I came to Australia nearly thirty years ago from the UK. I had grown up in the food industry and so was suprised by the difficulty I had in sourcing many ingredients here. Little did I know what was to take place over the next few decades. These days, Australia is the envy of the world. People make pilgrimages here just for the food. Magazines like delicious have proved that this really is the lucky country, where our wonderful produce is used to make some of the most creative and innovative food anywhere. We"ve had a ball over the last five years, and are looking forward to the next and beyond. Thank you to all our readers who have supported us right from the very start – this book is dedicated to you. So as we raise a celebratory glass of Champagne, we say "Happy fifth birthday, delicious. And happy cooking to you all"
