Looking for a comforting custardy dessert with an edge? Well, look no further than the boozier rendition of tiramisu with all the trimmings - soft sponge, bitter coffee, sweet cream, and heady booze... just like our favourite singing competition! The best part of these breadsticks? That you can make it with ANY bread dough, even sourdough! Just remember to have some lard on hand to smother the dough with - it’ll give it that extra je ne sais quois that’ll keep you coming back for more. Pizza margherita. Source: Food Safari Fire

What’s a more classic snack food than poppers? You could use any large chilli, but plump jalapeños have large cavities particularly perfect for filling with cheese. The cream cheese here is combined with coriander and salt, but you could simply fill the jalapeño with a chunk of cheddar before crumbing and frying. Bonus tip: try these poppers with some beer! Its carbonated fizz cleanses the fat from the palate and allows the flavour of the cheese to stand out. If you love to snack on cheese, this one’s for you: burrata is a fresh ball of cheese with stretched mozzarella on the outside and a buttery mixture of shredded mozzarella and cream on the inside. You can buy Australian-made burrata from selected delis, supermarkets and cheese shops, or substitute it with buffalo mozzarella. This recipe pairs the cheese with artichokes and a tangy lemon dressing for a perfect Italian starter.
