A SNEAK PEEK INSIDE ISSUE 125

Issue 125 hits the shelves Monday, February 5th and we’re so excited to share a sneak peek with you!
2026 is well under way and we're ready to join the fun with our latest issue, which (no matter the weather), is so hot right now! With seafood from MasterChef favourite Harry Butterfield, seasonal recipes making the most oflate summer produce, and sumptuous dinners for duos we get off to a delicious start. Next up contributor Amelia Ferrier tempts tastebuds with two chicken recipes before we fossick in the back of the pantry for some instant noodles, then magic them into five delicious dinners to share. Miso has been having a moment (for centuries) and we make it shine in three gorgeous recipes, then set a table under the olives for a lazy Italian feast. With the year's routines well under way, we banish boring back-to-work lunches with a selection of tasty bento boxes to make that midday break even more rewarding. Olivia Galletly puts a smile on the faces of the young (and young-at-heart) with a round up of fun and playful treats and our Make It Tonight section is packed with quick-fix dinners that are simple to make, but good enough to share. We round up this issue with our award-winning selection of the best Sauvignon blancs on the market. We may have hit February already, but with this issue of dish, the party is just getting started!

In Dream Escape, we journey from Japan and Morocco to Italy, India and beyond, sharing recipes inspired by travel, heritage and comfort. We celebrate the champions of the Outstanding Food Producer Awards, explore the stories and recipes of chefs shaped by their cultural roots, and warm up with everything from West African soups and slow-braised lamb to porchetta, butter chicken and beef noodle soup. Alongside destination menus, Scandinavian sweets and cosy pub classics, Chrisanne Terblanche shares her favourite street-side dining spots in Bangkok, while Yvonne Lorkin explores red wine varietals. This issue, we invite you to slow down, turn the pages and escape through food.
