Harry’s Pick of the Month: Golden Spring Rosé d’Assette 2025

Crafted by Cary Laverty at Cobaw Ridge. This rosé has depth, texture, tension and a savory edge to round it all off. Best enjoyed alongside a tomato galette or chèvre with honey.

This Mother’s Day, Anthony and his Mum Maria are back in the kitchen, making the tiramisu that’s been part of their family long before the store ever existed.

It’s a recipe shaped over years, tweaked and perfected - the kind that lives in memory as much as it does on paper.

Layers of coffee-soaked sponge, Lombardy mascarpone folded into Italian Meringue, chocolate, grated and layered in between - simple, yet done properly, just how it’s always been.

Mum’s tiramisu is coming out of the family kitchen and into ours. Available in-store Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th May.

Swipe to see why.
