The most leftfield food moments from the 2024 Paris Olympics

Aug 12, 2024 | weeklytimesnow.com.au | Georgia Mahood

With over 10,000 athletes competing, 329 events taking place and millions spectating, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games was filled with chaos, fun, tears and of course, awesome gold-medal moments (18 important ones, to be exact). Being hosted in Paris – one of the food capitals of the world with France a leader in gastronomy – it’s no surprise that food was an important aspect of the 2024 games.
Have Iced VoVo bikkies really changed? Arnott's settles the debate

Aug 6, 2024 | taste.com.au | Georgia Mahood

Over the years, a lot of discourse has circled about an iconic Aussie bikkie: the Iced VoVo. The biscuit has allegedly changed in size, with many VoVo fans who say the biscuit used to be bigger. Others say that the recipe has changed too, claiming the iconic pink topping was once a marshmallow topping. However, this is a simple case of the Mandela Effect, as Arnott’s recently confirmed the topping was never fluffy marshmallow and has always been a smooth fondant icing. It. Was. Never. Marshmallow.
The viral chocolate muffin that's the talk of the Olympics (and how to make it at home!)

Aug 6, 2024 | taste.com.au | Georgia Mahood

If you’ve been staying on top of Olympic village gossip, then you’ve probably heard of the chocolate muffin that’s taken the village by storm. The muffin (made internet famous by Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen: AKA the muffin man) is available in the Olympic village food hall – perfect for athletes needing to carb load before their big event or for those wanting something sweet to celebrate afterwards.
Our 2 most popular winter dinners for 2024 become 1 amazing dish

Aug 1, 2024 | taste.com.au | Georgia Mahood

When it comes to winter warmers, there are two dinners we always have on repeat: beef stroganoff and cottage pie. Beef stroganoff is a hearty stew made from beef, onion, and mushrooms, which is finished in a creamy sauce made from paprika, mustard, beef stock and crème fraîche or sour cream. This Russian comfort meal is one of the most searched-for dinners on taste.com.au – our community loves a strog.
The ‘best-ever’ Christmas dish you should start making now

Jul 25, 2024 | taste.com.au | Georgia Mahood

While the biggest day of the year is still a few months away, we’re already thinking about what we’re making for our Christmas spread. (Will it be a succulent roast turkey or a glazed ham this year?
'Why do I always have room for dessert?' (The truth may surprise you)

Jul 22, 2024 | taste.com.au | Georgia Mahood

After stuffing ourselves full with dinner we always tell ourselves: “There’s always room for dessert.” Of course, we could not possibly eat any more dinner, but eating a gooey pudding, creamy ice-cream or fudgy brownie after dinner is never a difficult feat. That something sweet just feels different because… There’s. Always. Room. For. Dessert. Why is it that, even when we’re full, we can always eat dessert?
The one ingredient you should never leave out of bolognese

Jul 15, 2024 | taste.com.au | Georgia Mahood

When it comes to bolognese we all have that one special ingredient we add that makes us think our bolognese is the best. For some, it’s Worcestershire sauce, for Italians it’s milk and for Matt Preston it’s lemon. Whatever you choose to add is up to you, but in our bolognese-obsessed opinion, there’s one herb that should never be left out… the bay leaf. Many see the bay leaf as a pretty silly, unassuming herb.
Buttercream just got even better with this supermarket ingredient

Jul 9, 2024 | taste.com.au | Georgia Mahood

To whoever invented the icing-sugar-and-butter concoction that is buttercream, we thank you. Without you, we wouldn’t have, IMO, the best part of a cupcake (I know, controversial). When it comes to buttercream, I’ll often opt for a Swiss meringue buttercream or even an ermine frosting as they are a little tastier than regular buttercream which consists of butter, icing sugar and maybe a little milk and vanilla.
I just discovered there's a difference between feta and fetta

Jul 8, 2024 | taste.com.au | Georgia Mahood

Of all the cheeses in the world, feta has to be one of my favourites – it’s creamy, salty and in my opinion, goes with basically everything. However, purchasing feta from the supermarket can be super overwhelming, with so many different types available. The one variable I notice most when buying feta in Aussie supermarkets is the spelling of the Greek cheese: ‘feta’ or ‘fetta’. This has always left me wondering… is there a difference between the two fetas (or fettas)?
Allen’s Lollies are launching in candle form

Jul 3, 2024 | taste.com.au | Georgia Mahood

Here at taste.com.au, we’re Allen’s aficionados. From Frogs Alive to Killer Pythons (and every Party Mix Lolly in between), there’s not a single Allen’s Lolly we don’t like. We love the flavours, we love the chew but most of all we love the sweet smell of a bag of Allen’s Lollies – so when we heard what the candle connoisseurs at Dusk were working on with Allens, we got our lighters ready.
