Autumn Cooking: Comfort and Connection

As the crisp air of autumn settles over the city, our kitchens take centre stage. There’s a quiet satisfaction in slow cooking—preparing meals that fill the home with warmth and rich, layered aromas. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner or gathering family and friends for a weekend get together, autumn is the season for hearty, considered meals that nourish and impress.

At 1888 Certified, you’ll find the foundation for exceptional home cooking. Their range of premium, ethically sourced Australian meats offering customers both quality and provenance. For an elevated twist on comfort food why not try some of their own recipes such as Roasted Beef Brisket in Beer with Parsnip and Mushrooms or Slow Cooked Thai Beef Curry — both flavourful, slow-cooked dishes are perfect for a midweek family meal. Planning a dinner party? Try their recipes for Individual Lamb & Guinness Pies which are rich, rustic, and make for an elegant main.
