"Ever since I started writing it's been my go-to for processing difficult things."

It was a treat to host North Shore local Elizabeth Lancaster Author to discuss her latest book 'Bounty: a memoir of friendship, MS and the dog that changed everything'.

Elizabeth took us through her journey over the last few years; the ups and down of friendship, illness, and the lifelines that our loved ones can provide.

"I would like people to take away from it the sense that things can change, that there is renewal."

Tickets are still available for Wednesday 24 June, from 6:30pm. Follow the link in our bio to book in now.

"I still hold the family record of 14 meatballs in one sitting."

It was an evening of meaningful memories and delicious dishes when Rocky Scopelliti visited to discuss La Mia Passeggiata, his memoir and family recipe book.

His discussed the Italian migrant culture he was raised in, the traditional meals he grew up eating, and how we can all enjoy our food more.

"Italians, they eat slowly compared to us. If you tend to eat quickly like we do here, you miss a lot of the flavours. Spending time with family and friends is a terrific experience and why rush it?"

It was a wonderful tour through Rocky's past and we hope to see him again soon.
