Local food stylist, recipe developer, caterer and food enthusiast Lucy Rosenberg loves mixing her love of food with fashion and is known for her big bold flavours. She shares with us her favourite iconic Bondi dishes she makes at home. 

“A classic day in Bondi always starts with a Pilates class finished with a swim in the ocean. But to maintain eating nutritious food, I always pack my lunch for the beach, and this is my go-to salad. It’s the perfect, light but tasty dish that’s super easy to be made for on the go. I keep the dressing in a jar & pour it all over for when I’m ready to eat it.”
