The New Potato
Two sisters, Danielle and Laura Kosann, began their online magazine The New Potato to tackle their favourite topics of celebrity, fashion, film, TV and beauty and how they relate to food. The pair makes no secret of the fact they're not chefs and don't consider themselves to be, meaning the recipes are simple enough to slot into your weeknight repertoire, complete with many stories to digest after dinner. They've recently bundled up their musings, interviews, and advice into a cookbook, weaving through it dozens of simple, delicious recipes.

Rose Young's miniature morsels have captured our eyes and stomachs since the arrival of her tiny artworks of food to Instagram in 2015. Since then, the Wellington sculptor's Instagram account @tinyportions has continually supplied our feed with her detailed creations made out of polymer clay, proving that good things truly do come in small packages. #deliciousaf
