What’s the best thing about Mâché?
"It gets me out of the house and lets me meet new people. :)"
Any must-read books or must-watch movies?

Favourite holiday spot?
"Denmark. I lived there for a bit so I might be biased. It’s a beautiful country with cool people and many things to do and see."
Go-to comfort food?
"Any Vietnamese noodle soup dish."
One thing you absolutely can’t live without?
"My family and friends."
Favourite band, DJ, or solo artist?

Mâché Eats | Your Monthly Flavour Fix
Blessing your tastebuds with another edition of Mâché Eats, our exciting new newsletter section where we’ll share delicious recipes each month to help you become a foodie just like us!
This month's flavourful feature: Tofu + Mushroom Cabbage Rolls. Packed with healthy ingredients and flavour, these will definitely be a hit. A big thanks to Sarah (the mastermind behind this recipe) for sharing her wisdom with us. Enjoy
Tofu + Mushroom Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients:
175g firm tofu, crumbled
150g mushroom, diced
20g carrot, grated
1 spring onion, sliced
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
Thumb of ginger, minced
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
2 tsp soy sauce
200g (2-3) cabbage leaves
To serve:
Coriander
Sweet chilli sauce
Lime juice
Instructions:
In a pot of boiling water, cook your whole cabbage leaves until they’re al dente (just cooked). Drain and put aside.
In a pan over medium heat, add your mushrooms, tofu, carrot, spring onion, garlic and ginger, and sauté until soft and the mushrooms are cooked - adding a little water if needed to stop your mixture from sticking (or you can use a splash of coconut/sesame oil).
Turn the heat up and then add your rice wine vinegar and soy sauce, along with a tsp water if your pan is too dry. Season with S&P to taste. Once the vinegar smell has gone, take off the heat and stir in some chopped coriander (optional).
Add the mixture to your cabbage leaves and roll them up as tight as possible without tearing the leaves.
You can either eat them straight away, OR I like to cook them again so the cabbage is nice and soft.
Add a small amount of water to a fry pan and bring it to the boil. Sit your cabbage rolls in the water and simmer with a lid on until cooked to your liking.
Serve in a bowl with any remaining broth from your pan, and top with sweet chilli sauce, fresh lime juice and coriander.

Food & Drink | Elliniko - New Greek Eatery on Unley Road
Elliniko Eatery, a new Greek restaurant with a "small shop, big flavour" ethos, is set to open on Unley Road in early April, founded by Ioannis Patrios and Anthony Savas who aim to bring authentic Greek hospitality and cuisine to Malvern. Inspired by their recent travels to Greece, particularly the Dodecanese Islands near Turkey, the eatery will feature a rustic yet elegant interior with Venetian plastering and offer traditional Greek dishes, with a focus on high-quality, farm-sourced meats.
A key menu item will be yiros, prepared traditionally with chips but without lettuce, and the location in a complex with accessible parking was a significant factor for the owners wanting to attract customers from across Adelaide.

Local | Social Housing Tower Proposed for Whitmore Square
Plans have been submitted for a 14-storey social housing development on Hocking Place, overlooking Whitmore Square, featuring 36 apartments designed by tectvs, with a mix of one and two-bedroom units and communal facilities.
The proposed tower, exceeding local height limits but committed to a high green rating as an all-electric, gas-free building with rooftop solar panels, will replace an existing single-storey dwelling next to affordable eco-housing. In related news, a 16-storey high-end apartment tower on Gouger Street, containing 107 units, has received approval from the State Commission Assessment Panel, necessitating the demolition of three existing low-rise buildings.

Wellbeing | Parklands Loop Collective
Walk, run or ride a loop around Adelaide completely through Park Lands A lap around the city is about 16km - a perfect distance for a good spring walk.
But pick your own adventure: add in North Adelaide for a longer route; just do a few kilometres; cycle several laps; jog with a pram... the how and how far is up to you!
