Drinkin’ whisky ‘n rye
Melbourne boys Denver Cramer and Liely Faulkner married their passion for whisky with their designer nous to reinvent the whisky glass. The hand-blown design aims to heighten taste and smell – the wide base maximises the surface area of the pour, this funnels the aromas up through the tapered body to reveal the whisky’s full complexities.

Haven review
He’s the man that taught Jamie Oliver everything he knows about Italian cooking. In Slow Cook Italian the godfather of Italian cuisine reveals one of his favourite ways to cook – a stress-free style that is just perfect for winter. Stews and sauces bubble away on the stove top, a herb-infused roast cooks in the oven and the smells of bread and cake baking fills the house with a mouth-watering aroma. From rich soups and stews, slow-cooked pasta sauces, braised meats, tender roasts, delicious breads and sticky desserts, this unfussy yet sumptuous collection of classic recipes lets the oven or slow-cooker do all the work – so you won’t have to.

Pollo alla cacciatora Hunter’s chicken
From Gennaro Contaldo’s Slow Cook Italian
This classic Italian dish is renowned the world over. Alla cacciatora means ‘in the style of the hunter’ and it was probably first made with game birds or rabbit. Here I’ve recreated it in the way it is normally made in my region of Campania, using lots of herbs and fresh tomatoes. I serve it with slices of toasted country bread drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
Serves 4
From Gennaro Contaldo’s Slow Cook Italian
This classic Italian dish is renowned the world over. Alla cacciatora means ‘in the style of the hunter’ and it was probably first made with game birds or rabbit. Here I’ve recreated it in the way it is normally made in my region of Campania, using lots of herbs and fresh tomatoes. I serve it with slices of toasted country bread drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
Serves 4
- 750g chicken thighs and drumsticks
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely sliced
- 1 garlic clove, crushed and left whole
- 1 small red chilli, sliced
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 2 sprigs of thyme
- A handful of parsley, roughly chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 sage leaves
- 125ml dry white wine
- 1½ tbsp tomato paste, dissolved in 3 tbsp lukewarm water
- 175g cherry tomatoes, halved
Rub the chicken pieces all over with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the chicken and seal well all over.
Add the onion, garlic, chilli and herbs and cook for a couple of minutes on a medium heat. Add the wine, increase the heat and allow the wine to evaporate slightly. Add the diluted tomato paste, then stir in the cherry tomatoes. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook gently for 1¼ hours, until the chicken is cooked through; the flesh should come away from the bone and there should be no sign of pink when you pierce the thickest part. Serve hot.
