Whether it’s gathering around the dinner table for a home-cooked meal, packing school lunch boxes with love—or at least a little prayer they actually eat some of it!—or cherishing those early days of bottles and breastfeeding, food connects us in ways that go beyond just simple nourishment. It’s in these moments, big and small, that memories are made, traditions are born, and bonds are strengthened.
This issue of KIDDO is all about celebrating those connections. We’re diving deep into the world of family food—sharing recipes, tips, and stories that highlight the joy and importance of what we eat and how we share it. Whether you’re navigating food intolerances, looking for the best lunch boxes to keep school lunches fresh, learning more about how to grow your own food with the kids, or exploring the evolving world of baby nutrition, we’ve got something for every stage of family life.
One of the highlights of this issue is our in-depth interview with Nabula from Supermarket Swap, where she shares her journey of transforming the way we shop and eat. It’s a story of passion, innovation, and the power of making informed choices, and we’re thrilled to bring it to you.
And speaking of foodie excellence, we couldn’t be prouder to share the news that Banana Boogie Bakery in South Australia has taken out top national honours at the Great Australian Vanilla Slice Triumph competition. With their Belair and North Plympton locations, Banana Boogie has long been a favourite, and now they’ve secured their place as the creators of Australia’s Best Vanilla Slice. The creamy custard, the flaky pastry—it’s a sweet treat that’s captured the hearts (and taste buds) of locals and visitors alike. And that’s not all—they’ve also earned titles for the Best Sausage Rolls and Best Hot Cross Buns in Australia, proving that this bakery is truly in a league of its own! Get yourself there!
As you flip through this issue, we hope you find inspiration in the stories we’ve shared, whether it’s whipping up a new family favourite recipe or simply taking a moment to appreciate the role food plays in your family’s life.
Happy reading, and happy eating!
Liv xoxo
