Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Kitchens and bathrooms are, arguably, the most consequential rooms in the home — and almost always the first to be considered. Whether approached through renovation or new build, their design has the power to recalibrate how a home is lived in and experienced. For this issue, our guest editor, Mardi Doherty, principal of Studio Doherty, explores what it truly means to transform these pivotal spaces — and why thoughtful design in kitchens and bathrooms delivers dividends far beyond the purely functional. Her insights both as an architect and as her own client give an open and honest account of the thinking behind creating a home.

Aperitivo with Aperol

A vast improvement on the six-o’clock-swill, the aperitivo is a chance to chat, nibble, and enjoy a tasty drink.

Aperol, Italy’s favourite aperitivo (a term for both the occasion and the libation) a sort of  Australian debut at an afternoon function hosted by Nield Avenue restaurant. Guests at the launch were plied with aperitivo classics such as Spritz, Americano, Bellini, Mimosa and the all-conquering Negroni, accompanied by Nield Avenue’s delectable mediterranean appetizers, a combination guaranteed to garner lifetime-devotees.

The century-old beverage has long been a staple for northern Italians seeking a light, refreshing drink to wash down a few stuzzichini and stimulate the appetite before dinner. Today it has spread south down the boot and north, east and west into Austria, Germany and Belgium, and is particularly favoured by parsimonious students choosing between paying for dinner or a cocktail (the accompanying nibblies are free!). With a gentle 11% alcohol content and effervescent, bitter-sweet flavour, Aperol is sure to slot right into our hot summer afternoons (or cozy, indoor winter ones).
