As soon as I saw the recipe for lime cordial on The Traveler’s Lunchbox I knew I had to make a batch. A sale on grapefruit and oranges prompted me into action and the result could not be more delicious. It became a sip of summer in my chilly Sydney flat. With Australia being my new home, I thought it was high time I featured some Australian art. Technically Weaver Hawkins is British but he was a significant artist in the 1940s in Sydney and his work is found in most of the public collections. A dynamic painting needs a dynamic drink and I find this to be the perfect partnership of art fare.
