Serial entrepreneur Frances Manwaring became the co-owner and managing director of the boutique creative agency Moxie in 2010.

"At the restaurant, we used to put a cut-to-order tomato salad on the menu every summer. But given that everyone loves summer tomatoes, we’d end up making it for every single table, which would drive us crazy by the end of January. This recipe is our solution to capturing the sharpness and brightness of tomatoes in a way that could be pre-made and plated straight from the fridge. One of my finer moments."

"This dessert is our mash-up of a classic tiramisu and the much-loved Australian choccy ripple cake. It’s bogan meets Italy, kind of like driving through Portofino in a VL Commodore, with just as much impact. We’ll be making all the components, from the biscuits to the coffee and cream. Get this into the fridge the day before so it has time to do its thing."

"Tender spring peas and tender spring lamb cooked directly over hot coals. Fat – rendered out by the slow heat – drips onto the fire, scorching the meat and amping up that beautiful caramelised crust. (Side note: you’re going to smell great after cooking this.) A lemon and chamomile-driven sauce, bolstered with chicken stock, adds a cut-through moreishness."
