Culinary Creations in Collectif Magazine.

The collaboration of young people and their creative talents is a truly glorious and wonderful thing. Some of which I have had the privilege and pleasure of being a part of. Collectif Magazine is an illustrious example of the vision and passion of aspiring creatives - an intriguing combination of Art, Fashion and Culture. Onto it's seventh issue, it has gained a strong following. With a range of contributors sharing their work throughout the newsprint pages.

Feijoa. Chia. Ginger. Pudding.

After Katering for their Issue 6 launch party late last year, Sophie Peacocke, one of the Founders and Creative Director entrusted me enough to incorporate a few recipes in this years Winter Issue. After a few days of recipe development and taste-testing (poor me!) I settled on three toothsome options.

Pumpkin Citrus Fritz. 

As the article reads - Two Things Sweet and One Thing Citrus. I opted to share the Autumn/Winter joy with recipes for...

• Feijoa & Ginger Chia Seed Pudding
• Homemade Bounty Bars
• Pumpkin Miso & Zucchini Fritters w. Citrus Yoghurt Dressing

A Bounty awaits.

One sunny friday afternoon, Soph and I played around in the cute wee vintage kitchen at the back of Terrarium. Shooting and styling a few quirky snaps to bring the words and ingredients to life. With an exceptional array of antique cutlery and utensils to choose from and Soph's creative flair and talent behind the camera we captured the essence and simplicity of each dish. With a four page spread for Relish the memory, and a few too many bounty bars, I am humbled and honoured to have pitched in for this issue.
