Shakshuka isn’t just a dish — it’s a magic sauce that goes with everything. 😍

Sure, the classic shakshuka eggs are delicious (and nostalgic 💛), but have you ever tried…

🍕 Shakshuka PIZZA with poached eggs on top?
🍝 Pasta night with shakshuka sauce & creamy burrata?
🥗 A quinoa salad with shakshuka salad dressing?
🌱 A green shakshuka with kale, avocado & herbs?

This is your sign to get creative in the kitchen — because one jar of our Sydney Royal Award-winning Shakshuka Sauce = endless delicious meals.

Well, well, well… look who’s a 40 Under 40 finalist! 🎉 Our Kymee Girl!

She’s the heartbeat of Good Things Grocer — turning a squeal at a ‘for lease’ sign into a magical 3rd space biz that’s equal parts passion, chaos, brilliance and food.

Kym brings people together, champions local makers, creates inclusive jobs, and builds the kind of space that’s more than a shop — it’s a vibe.
Brissy’s shelves (and hearts) are better because of her.

✨ Proud. Smug. Deserved.
Love, Sarah x

Grilled Piqa Boo Pears with Mascarpone, Maple & Cinnamon Almonds

A simple and delicious dessert with the perfect balance of sweet, warm fruit and crunchy, nutty texture. I used Piqa Boo pears for their natural sweetness, but feel free to substitute with any pear variety if needed.

Serves 2–3

Ingredients

4–5 Piqa Boo pears, halved, seeds removed
3 tbsp mascarpone cheese
2 tbsp quality maple syrup
⅓ cup cinnamon toasted almonds, roughly chopped (from The Nut Market)
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp olive oil
Flake salt
Method

Preheat oven to 180°C.
Heat a griddle pan on high and a flat-based pan on medium.
Place half the pears cut-side down on the griddle pan. Press lightly for char lines.
In the flat pan, add butter and olive oil. Once melted, add remaining pears cut-side down. Keep heat moderate to avoid burning butter.
Cook both sets of pears for around 20 mins and allow to build colour. Turn them once browned. Begin basting pears in butter pan.
Flip and baste until golden. Transfer both pans to the oven.
Roast until pears soften slightly but still hold shape. Keep basting to avoid drying or burning.
Once done, toss griddled pears into butter pan. Add a pinch of flake salt over the pears.
To plate:
Spread mascarpone in a line on the plate. Arrange pears, alternating griddled and buttered. Drizzle maple syrup generously and top with cinnamon almonds.

Serve warm & enjoy immediately.
