Your New Good Living

This week Bill Granger comes to the rescue of a budding (and ballooning) bride. From the breakfast loaf with dried fig and apple to chicken, shiitake and Asian greens soup, his recipes on page 10 will suit anyone who's keen to wind back

their kilojoule intake. Every week he will answer your dinner dilemmas, too. Simply send your emails to askbill@smh.com.au.

Then again, if you're not counting kilojoules, try Christine Manfield's chocolate meringues recipe on page 7. This week Manfield revives the flavours and memories f

her Potts Point restaurant Paramount with the release of Christine Manfield Originals.

Cover boy Anthony Bourdain looks a bit like Lou Reed, so it's appropriate the chef-turned-writer, television presenter and global traveller has done more than

most to turn cooks into rock stars. His fame has come at a price, however, as Euan Ferguson reveals on page 12.

And keep those comments flowing to our new feedback section on page 20. It is linked to our new blog - www.smh.com.au/gl. Post comments, reviews, tips and suggestions and we'll publish the best each week. This week we reveal your thoughts on ethical eating.

And a reminder that fashion is now covered even more comprehensively in the Style Guide in Thursday's Herald.

Enjoy your new Good Living - the great taste of Sydney.
