Another week, another set of quarantine restrictions. With everyone staying at home more, we received an overwhelming amount of support for the bundle of pantry-friendly recipes Julia Busuttil Nishimura gave us in one drop last week.
So, today she returns again, this time armed with a week’s worth of rich, tomato-heavy pasta and Japanese inspired dishes. Each of these seven recipes is designed to be economical, making use of basic pantry items in lots of different ways, with a fair few options for leftovers. Download the attachable shopping list at the end of the piece for a speedy and efficient supermarket shop!

Winter is coming, in more ways than one. It sure feels ominous out there in the midst of a public health crisis, but – as always – Julia Busuttil Nishimura’s recipes are here to warm our hearts, and remind us to slow down.
With a brand new baby on deck (!), Julia is still whipping up autumnal recipes in a frenzy of new season excitement. Laced with cinnamon, sugar and tart cooked apples, this buttery tea cake is the perfect rustic confection to usher in the cooler months.

Beatrix Bakes is the Beyonce of baked goods. The teeny tiny North Melbourne cake shop opened in 2011, and has since grown exponentially – not in size, but in crazed fans! Every weekend (and some weekdays!) Nat Paull’s sweet little shop has rockstar-level crowds, lines wrapping around the side of the store and down the street waiting to catch a glimpse of the famous cake stand housing the selection of treats for the day. Prices and descriptions are written on doilies, and daisy chains of cake beaters hang cheerfully from the ceiling. It looks like a cute country bakery, but its fans are hardcore!
FINALLY, after much anticipation, Beatrix’s fearless founder Nat Paull has released THE definitive cookbook and bakers companion, imbued with as much love as one of her epic coconut shag cakes. Ahead of its release this Sunday, here’s a sneak peek of the goodness inside!

Julia Busuttil Nishimura is the queen of using simple, minimal ingredients for maximum flavour. And this rustic roasted tomato soup is the perfect example!
Also, in case you haven’t heard, Julia’s NEW cookbook A Year Of Simple Family Food is only a couple of months away! Julia’s first cookbook Ostro was an instant classic, and has become a beloved cooking companion for people all over the world. We could not be more excited for book number two and of course, will be revealing more as the time comes closer. Watch this space!

Julia Busuttil Nishimura might be literally 8 months pregnant… but that hasn’t stopped her from coming up with another fabulous recipe for us, just before the year is out!
Hazelnutty and creamy with sweet juicy peaches, this Eton Mess recipe is the perfect solution if you’re on Christmas dessert for the whole family (…or by yourself!) and will surely have people coming back for seconds… and thirds!

Julia Busuttil-Nishimura’s recipes always seem to come at the perfect time. This is partly by design – this is, after all, a column about seasonal ingredients – but Julia’s recipes have a way of bringing on a feeling of fizzy anticipation for exciting things to come. This month’s recipe for eggplant parmigiana has us thinking of the summer dinner parties that are now only weeks away, when time is abundant, food is plentiful and our social lives are happy and full!
We loved seeing so many of you making Julia’s Strawberry Galette recipe from last month! If you do whip up any of her fantastic recipes from our seasonal series, please tag @thedesignfiles and @juliaostro so we can re-post your creations!
