There’s nothing I love more than introducing a new cheese to someone.

This week, two very special additions have found their way into the cheese cabinet, and I think you’re going to love them.

🧀 L’Amuse Brabander Goat’s Milk Cheese from the Netherlands is beautifully firm with rich, nutty flavours. It’s a wonderful cheese to enjoy with a whisky or a rich red like a Shiraz 🍷.

🧀 Délice de Bourgogne Triple Crème from France is everything you want in a triple cream — rich, silky and incredibly indulgent. If you’re looking for a hero cheese, this is it. Pair it with a glass of Champagne 🥂 and you’ve got something pretty special.

We have a carefully curated range of blue, hard, washed-rind and white mould cheeses, along with cow’s, goat’s and sheep’s milk varieties.

If you’re not sure where to start, just ask me. Tell me what you enjoy, what you’re serving, or your budget, and together we’ll find your next favourite.

Pop in this week and let’s talk cheese. 💛

One of my favourite things to cook when the weather turns cold is something simple that fills the kitchen with beautiful aromas and only uses a handful of ingredients.

This Butter Bean & Courgette Stew with Olive Herb Salsa has become a new favourite. It’s hearty, full of flavour, and perfect for a slow weekend lunch or an easy weeknight dinner.

The hero? Perelló Gordal Olives. Their plump, buttery texture and gentle heat add so much flavour to the fresh herb salsa spooned over the top.

Here’s how I make it:

🫒 Gently cook onion, garlic, lemon zest, fennel seeds and a pinch of chilli flakes in olive oil. Add sliced courgettes, cover and cook slowly for around 30 minutes until meltingly soft.

🫒 While they’re cooking, make a salsa by finely chopping parsley, basil, mint, garlic, anchovies and Perelló Gordal Olives. Stir through extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice.

🫒 Add butter beans (plus their liquid) and vegetable stock to the courgettes and simmer until creamy and slightly thickened.

🫒 Spoon into bowls, top generously with the olive salsa and serve with plenty of crusty bread to mop up every last bit.

If you’re looking for something warming to cook this weekend, this is a great place to start.

Pop in and pick up a can or two of Perelló Gordal Olives and we’ll help you with the rest of the ingredients. We’d love to hear what you’re cooking this week. 💛

With chilly temperatures forecast this weekend, the big question is… what are you cooking?

We’re thinking warm bowls, pasta on the stove and easy dinners that don’t require a huge amount of effort.

If you need a little inspiration, pop in and have a chat with us.

The Mount Zero French Style Green Lentils are perfect for a big pot of French lentil soup. They have a beautiful nutty flavour and firm texture — add onion, carrot, celery, garlic, stock and herbs, and perhaps some good sausage or chorizo. Dinner sorted, with leftovers for tomorrow.

Or pick up a packet of pasta — we have so many shapes and sizes in store. One of our favourite easy dinners is crispy chorizo tossed through pasta with garlic, tomatoes, a splash of pasta water and plenty of Parmigiano Reggiano.

And if you’re craving something with a little spice, we have a gorgeous range of curry pastes and bases ready to go. Add chicken, seafood or vegetables, put some rice on, and let the sauce do the hard work.

Sometimes all you need is one good ingredient and an idea.

Pop in before the weekend, tell us what you feel like eating, and we’ll help you work out what to cook. 🥣🍝✨

One of my favourite questions to be asked in store is, “Holly, what would you choose?”

And honestly, the answer changes every week.

It might be a cheese that’s perfectly ripe and ready to eat, a new jar of olives I can’t stop talking about, some freshly sliced charcuterie, or a product that’s just arrived and deserves a little more attention.

Tell me how many people you’re feeding, what you like, and what you’d like to spend — whether that’s $30, $50 or something a little more generous — and I’ll help you put together something delicious.

You don’t need to know the names of the cheeses. You don’t need a plan. And you definitely don’t need to spend a fortune.

Just pop in and ask me, “What would you choose?”

I’d love to help you find something new.

One thing we hear all the time is, "I'd love to put together a cheese board, but I don't know where to start."

The good news? That's exactly what we're here for.

You don't need to know your Manchego from your Morbier, or spend hundreds of dollars to create something delicious. Some of our favourite grazing platters start with just a couple of cheeses, a few accompaniments and a loaf of good bread.

Whether you're feeding two people, hosting a dinner party, putting together a gift, or simply looking for something different for the weekend, we'd love to help.

Tell us what you're cooking, how many people you're feeding, what flavours you enjoy, or even your budget, and we'll point you in the right direction.

One of the best parts of Darling Larder is helping people discover something new. So next time you're in, don't be shy - ask Holly.

You might leave with a new favourite cheese, a jar of something delicious, and a few ideas for dinner as well.

One of the things we love about the Vannella range is how easy it makes good food.

We're excited to now have the smaller sizes available in store, perfect for weeknight cooking or when you don't need a large tub.

The Fresh Ricotta (350g) is beautifully light and creamy, perfect folded through pasta, spread on toast, baked into a ricotta cake, or spooned into a crostata.

The Buffalo Mozzarella (125g) is rich, milky and utterly delicious. Enjoy it simply in a Caprese salad, paired with prosciutto, or melted into a classic Mozzarella in Carrozza.

Simple ingredients, done exceptionally well 🇮🇹🧀 Available now in the fridge, come and pick some up before they sell out.

Nothing beats a Sunday night dinner that feels comforting, delicious and requires very little effort.

We always keep the Saturday Night Pasta range on hand for those evenings when you want something satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen. Their sauces are rich, flavourful and beautifully balanced — the kind of sauces that taste like they've been simmering away all afternoon, without you having to add a thing.

Simply cook your favourite pasta, warm through the sauce and dinner is sorted.

Perfect for busy weeknights, lazy Sundays, unexpected guests, or anyone wanting a well-stocked pantry full of reliable favourites.

One of our favourite fridge staples has to be the range from City Larder.

Their classic French-inspired terrines, pâtés and accompaniments make entertaining incredibly easy. They're the sort of thing we always like to have on hand for unexpected guests, a relaxed afternoon platter, or one of those evenings when cooking feels like too much effort.

Serve with a few cornichons, caperberries, lavosh and a glass of something delicious, and dinner is practically sorted.

Simple, indulgent and full of flavour. Available in the fridge now.

✨ Weeknight dinners, sorted.

When time is short but you still want something delicious on the table, reach for Gewürzhaus Speedy Stroganoff Spice.

This clever blend combines porcini mushroom, cumin, paprika and mace to create the rich, comforting flavour of a stroganoff that's been simmering away for hours — except it's ready in around 30 minutes.

No slow cooker. No complicated ingredients. Just creamy, wholesome comfort food the whole family will love.

Perfect for busy weeknights, chilly evenings, and those moments when you need dinner to work a little harder without any extra effort 🍄✨
