Top 5 Recipes of 2022
2022 is the year of comforting savoury classics! I'm SO happy that you all loved my pumpkin soup as much as I did. It's different from other thick pumpkin soups but it's so satisfying and I make litres of this whenever I get a pumpkin in my vege box. You also loved the creamy dijon chicken tray bake because chicken tray bakes are the best one "pot" meals. But you also loved the baked potato soup (not surprising considering how chilly a year it was!). Other favourites were the easiest mandarin blender syrup cake and the restaurant quality chicken chow mein with crispy noodles (a personal favourite to eat for me!).

Top 5 Restaurants of 2022
I LOVE seeing which restaurants you really liked and it was varied. First was the new Botswana Butchery in Sydney, after that it was a tour I did in conjunction with Chatswood Council with their best and most iconic desserts. Following this was the Portuguese club in Marrickville and then hipster bakery A.P. Bakery and their Surry Hills location. Rounding out the top 5 was Taste of Shunde for that epic seafood feast!

Now this was an interesting one because I personally was fascinated to see what a tiny house stay was like and it sounded like you were too! But you were also keen to see places within Australia too. The rest of the top 10 features airline and lounge reviews - I think we all miss travelling so much! I know that with time the Hawaii stories will be right up there because they went up in November and had less time to be distributed and the rest of the top 5 was made up of overseas travel that happened in the second half of the year.
