DISH Magazine | Bang for your buck Edition | Issue 129

Issue 129 hits the shelves Monday, September 7 and we’re so excited to share a sneak peek with you!

Spring is beginning to make itself known, bringing longer days, brighter produce and a welcome shift in the way we want to cook and eat. This issue leans right into that feeling, with fresh seasonal recipes, beautiful baking, generous entertaining menus and plenty of inspiration for the months ahead.

We begin with recipes designed to make the most of spring’s arrival, from colourful vegetables and lighter dishes to meals that still have enough comfort for those cooler evenings that haven’t quite disappeared. Across the issue, there is an emphasis on food that feels vibrant, unfussy and genuinely useful, whether you’re cooking for the family, having friends over or simply looking for something new to add to the weekly rotation.

There is plenty for keen bakers, too, with recipes that make an afternoon in the kitchen well worth it. Expect impressive cakes, slices and sweet treats alongside clever ideas that celebrate seasonal fruit and familiar flavours in fresh ways.

Elsewhere, we turn our attention to entertaining, with menus made for gathering around the table. From relaxed shared plates to dishes worthy of a long lunch or dinner with friends, there are recipes to carry you right through the season and into the warmer months beyond.

We also meet some of the people shaping the way we eat, drink and travel, with stories from both close to home and further afield. Alongside them you’ll find our regular mix of restaurant recommendations, drinks inspiration, new openings and plenty of things we’re excited about right now.

As always, Issue 129 is packed with recipes we hope you’ll return to again and again, whether you’re after a quick dinner, a weekend baking project or a reason to invite everyone over.

Here’s to a fresh season, a full table and plenty of delicious things ahead.
