The lighthouse on Griffths Island, built in 1859, was the perfect backdrop to capture the spirit of the Australian coastline.

Scallops with Truffle Butter A glass of prosecco accompanied by these delightful seared scallops with truffle butter is one of the best ways to begin a seafood feast. Ingredients 12 fresh scallops in their shells Salt & pepper to season 20g truffle paste 150g softened butter 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp salt Method 1. Combine the butter, truffle paste, salt and lemon in a small bowl, making sure all ingredients are mixed well. 2. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. To cook scallops, heat a saucepan on high heat. Add a tablespoon of the truffle butter and in batches add the scallops. Cook for 30 seconds on each side, using a spoon to pour some of the truffle butter over the top. 3. Serve scallops back in their shells and drizzle remaining butter over each of the scallops. ele Tip: You can freeze Truffle butter. Place the butter on to parchment paper and roll tightly into a log. Refrigerate for 1 hour prior to freezing.
Not all butter is created equal. We love using Pepe Saya’s rich cultured butter in this recipe. pepesaya.com.au @pepesaya

Milk Chocolate Chunk Blondie Bars Ingredients (serves 16)
Method
For the blondies: 225g plain flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 200g brown sugar 110g unsalted butter, melted 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 eggs, beaten 200g milk chocolate, chopped roughly For the ganache: 150g dark chocolate, chopped 120ml double cream 20g butter 1 tsp sea salt flakes
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. 2. Line an 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. (Tip: leave an overhang on the sides so that it is easy to lift the Blondies out afterwards). 3. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then set aside. 4. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar and vanilla together until combined. Add the eggs and whisk in. 5. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and stir together. Fold in the milk chocolate chunks. The batter will be super thick. Spread evenly into prepared baking pan using a rubber spatula dipped in water. 6. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan for ten minutes. Using the paper, lift the square of blondie out onto a wire rack and leave to cool. 7. Once the blondies are cooled, prep the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate, cream and butter and heat gently until the chocolate is melted, and ganache is smooth. Pour over blondies and allow ganache to come to room temp (it will thicken and set). 8. Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the ganache and cut blondie into 16 squares.

A Perfect Escape A beachhouse at Hervey Bay is the perfect place to relax and let the worries of day to day life slip away. WORDS and IMAGES Kate Skinner

‘Our favourite holiday destination is Byron Bay and our favourite places to stay are The Atlantic or The Bower. We have drawn a great deal of inspiration from Byron’ - Jaime
J
aime and Dave would often holiday at Hervey Bay on the Fraser Coast when their children, Tom and Ivy, were little.
When a work opportunity came along to relocate to Hervey Bay, they jumped at the chance to raise their children in a quiet, beachside community. When they first viewed what was to become The Bay Beachouse, they fell in love with its grand, yet informal layout and the abundance of space and potential. Jaime and Dave saw a home with beautiful French doors and an open plan that allowed ample room for family and friends to come together or disappear into private sanctuaries. In 2018 they decided to begin the long-held dream to renovate their home, with the idea of turning it into boutique holiday accommodation. In January 2020 after hard work and loving effort, The Bay Beachouse opened. The house is a modern mix of relaxed coastal and luxe living. When you enter the home you’re immediately appreciative of the impact the front deck and entry have, perfectly symmetrical with French doors flanking both sides and the Lucy Love Seat from Byron Bay Hanging Chairs hanging in the middle of the two entrance ways. This opens into a light and airy kitchen that is both functional and inviting. Jaime is not one for clutter and you see this in the carefully edited space where everything feels just right, from the towering fiddle leaf fig, concrete bench tops, to the raw wood shelving and sitting area which soften the industrial feel and give an organic cosiness to the space. The front of the concrete bench has been tiled in a black and white geometrical patterned tile from Tile Cloud which adds extra interest and depth to the kitchen and ties in beautifully with the Dulux Black Caviar kitchen cabinet colour. But the highlight is stepping through the French doors from the kitchen to the indoor/outdoor plantation style deck. The area is enormous and has space for both the BBQ area and dining, featuring Malawi chairs and copper pendant lighting, as well as a built-in bench seating for lounging. There is plenty of space for entertaining, whatever the weather brings. Couple that with a sparkling pool, fire pit with more built-in bench seating and another outdoor dining area at the front of the property, it is the ideal home to escape and relax. The beautiful French doors throughout most rooms in the home reflect a classic coastal style, which Jaime quotes as one of her top things in the home, ‘One of our favourite features would have to be our French door hinges. These beautiful antique copper hinges are such a small part of our home however, we believe they have the greatest impact in each room. The size of the hinge and the way it opens up our doors, is a statement in itself.’ When asked for other favourites around the home she lists the kitchen’s concrete benchtops, the luxurious Coco Republic leather lounge and the Bahama shutters, which they designed and had installed in the outdoor living area. But the highlight is the indoor/ outdoor bathhouse. The huge stone bath comfortably fits two adults and is the ultimate in indulgence and coastal luxury. eat.live.escape
