When lockdowns aff ected the region in 2020 and 2021, Sunny Coast restaurants quickly responded by off ering takeaway and online ordering to ensure their customers could enjoy restaurant-quality food from the comfort of their own homes.

One of the region’s favourite distilleries 20 20 DISTILLERY is now also one of Australia’s. The local team picked up a gold medal for its East London Dry and a silver medal for the George gin at the 2021 Australian Gin Awards. An incredible 370 gins were submitted from around the nation and New Zealand, so 20 20 Distillery’s wins were pretty impressive.

Meal kit company HELLOFRESH has analysed 18 months’ worth of trends, insights and data to understand what we eat and how we cook at home. Here’s what we’ve learned – leading into 2021, Australians increased the number of Mexican and Italian meals they’ve been cooking at home. This is reflected in a 50 per cent increase in the search for Mexican and Italian recipes online over the past 12 months. Aussies also embraced meat-free meals – the number of vegetarian meals ordered from HelloFresh in February 2021 was double that of February 2020. A year spent at home had us looking at our eating habits and waistlines, and one way we were eating more healthily was through low-carb meals. The number of low-carb meals ordered in the first quarter of 2021 was more than double that ordered in the same period last year.

Tony Kelly, the brain behind Mooloolaba’s Rice Boi and Giddy Geisha at Maroochydore, recently opened a new eatery in Palmwoods. Called PIGGYBACK, the restaurant has, says Tony, a menu inspired by Indonesian and Malaysian street food. The new addition adds another feather in the cap of Palmwoods, which already boasts Rick’s Garage and The Shed. Piggyback is at 1 Koorawatha Lane, Palmwoods and is open seven days a week. 0498 761 184 or piggyb.com.au

Did you know the average Australian household throws away more than $1000 worth of food every year? That’s why we are loving THE SWAG, an award-winning, non-toxic, machine-washable and compostable storage bag, which has been shown to keep fruit and veg fresh for more than two weeks. The Swag works by allowing moisture to be pulled through the outer layers to augment hydration, while the inner layers promote breathing and reduce ethylene build-up. This leads to fruit and vegies staying crispier and nutrient-rich for longer than if they were stored in other bags or containers. The Swag bags come in all shapes and sizes. Head to theswag.com.au to find out more. Nothing says summer like watermelon – and while a watermelon is a delicious refreshing fruit to eat on its own or muddled in drinks, we also love the idea of this quick, healthy, tasty and colourful WATERMELON SALAD. Just get yourself a watermelon (about 750g) and chop it up into bite-sized chunks, discarding the peel. Add to that a small red onion that you’ve sliced finely and about 180 grams of feta (crumbled). Top with a decent bunch of fresh mint leaves that you’ve torn up and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Easy!
