Pssst. You should all know by now that this Sunday is Mother’s Day. But really every day is a good day to appreciate your Mum! She’s the woman who brought you into the world and raised you as the upstanding human beings that you are. Seriously, we have a lot to be thankful for, including our love of food! For most of us that love began at an early age in Mum’s kitchen. Some of those food memories were kick-started with licking the bowl after the chocolate cake went into the oven!

Think about it for sec. Your Mum has cooked literally THOUSANDS of meals for you! She’s made you breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus birthday cakes and desserts! If that’s not worth celebrating, we don’t know what is! Mother’s Day is a time to show your Mum that you care. Hang up her apron, bring her a cup of tea and let her relax. Cook her a special meal or order a takeaway feast!

Sometimes you just don’t want to order big

What’s not to like? Seriously. Have you ever met anyone who didn’t like pizza? This humble dish has been around for centuries. That’s right: centuries mate. And not just in Italy – in ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt flatbread with toppings were all the rage. Simple, quick food. It’s said that soldiers of Darius the Great (521-486 B.C.) baked a kind of flat bread on their shields and covered it with cheese and dates.

A little later the ancient Romans got in on the action, topping their flat, round dough with olive oil, herbs and honey. This ancient version of pizza had a bit of a makeover in the 16th Century after tomatoes made their way to Europe from Latin America.

In Naples in the 1700s, street food for the poor consisted of flatbread with different toppings like tomatoes, cheese, oil, garlic and anchovies.

That’s Queen Margherita of Italy. Yep, you guessed it, the Margherita pizza was named after her.

The mighty curry has been gracing takeaway menus for decades now. Butter Chicken, Tandoori and Vindaloo are all mouth-watering terms that have come to represent Indian cuisine in the wider world. But there’s a deeper and more multi-layered history behind the intricate blend of ingredients that make up the much-loved curry.

At Delivery Hero we’re passionate about food, and so we’ve delved into the rich past of Indian cuisine to find out what separates a Biryani from a Dose, discover if it was actually the Brits that introduced curry to Indian cuisine, and give you a rundown of the best Indian restaurants in the town. Let’s explore further…  (more…)

I LOVE food, Asian food to be more specific. So you can imagine how excited I was not to just travel through South East Asia last year but to also eat my way through the region. Yum! While I was familiar with most of the famous Thai and Vietnamese dishes, it was the first time I really experienced the Malay cuisine and it was quite mind blowing, I had no idea what I had been missing out on! I want to share my two all-time favourite Malay dishes with you and hope you get the chance to try them as well if you haven’t done so yet. If you’ve had them before, well, have more! (more…)

We would like to present our next restaurant of the week to you. This time it’s a true Ottoman jewel right in the middle of Melbourne: Pasha’s Turkish Restaurant in Collingwood.

OK. So we know video food challenges are everywhere and most are pretty “meh”.

But this video is different. You will probably have heard of the Cinnamon Challenge which has gone viral over Youtube, basically it is people trying to eat one spoonful of Cinnamon. Sounds easy right?

Here is our own challenge; If you can get through this video without laughing, you are Superhuman!
