Our June issue brings light and warmth to an cold and dreary winter. If you've had a look at the cover, you'll see what we're talking about - simple comfort food shot in the fashionable dark lighting that really makes the food, only, shine.
It's just a taste of what's inside. Here are reasons we hope will encourage you to pop TASTE in your basket when next you're at Woolworths.
PS: remember, with WRewards Woolworths cardholders get 10% off the cover price!
MAIN ATTRACTIONS:
One-pot wonders: from steaming West Coast mussels steamed Thai-style to the short-ribs featured on our cover, Abigail shows you how to make them on the stove or in a potjie over the coals. 
Matt Preston does chicken: the Ozzie MasterChef judge is known for his flamboyant dress sense, but did you know that he'll happily take a ready-roasted chicken and show you 7 easy ways to ring the changes and jazz it up? (Here are 3 ways our food editors made earlier.) Think of the flavours of Anglo-Indian, Cranberry and tamarind or Yankee doodle buffalow wing style. Exclusively from his book, Matt Preson's 100 Best Recipes.
Gwyneth Paltrow is all good: earlier this year she went from most hated celebrity to the most beautiful, but regardless of what you think of Apple's mom, you may find a softer, more real side in our book extract where she explains what prompted her to embark on a cleansing diet devoid of just about everything we love to eat. Plus, some exclusive recipes from It's All Good, her new book.
Raw food religion: we interview local Lumai de Smidt on what made her become a raw food devotee (yes, it was those darn food allergies) and how she's made a successful business out of things like nut cheese and dehydrated sweet potato crackers.
Find out more about raw food and read more about Lumai's raw foor philosophy and watch her create the raw food prodicts. For her recipes, pick up the June issue of TASTE magazine, on sale now.
