I was late to the party when it comes to the cookbook that’s taken Australia by storm, but I recently became a RecipeTin Eats convert when my family gave me endless compliments about the pumkpin soup I cooked for them all – and it couldn’t have been easier! This week, the chef behind the smash hit, Nagi Maehashi, has kindly shared with us an extract from her cookbook, which, it’s safe to say, has become a household must-have! If you don’t yet have it, now’s your chance to get one with our very special subscription offer, in which we’re giving new subscribers a bonus copy (p51). Meanwhile, the Woman’s Day team were thrilled to hear the news of Sophie Delezio’s pregnancy (p14). Huge congrats to Sophie and Joseph! Erin Holohan,…

As we bid farewell to yet another chaotic season of Married At First Sight, Woman’s Day tracks down the four remaining couples to see whether they’re still committed, kaput or if their situation is a little more... complicated. JACK & TORI In what will be a surprise to many viewers, we’re told Jack Dunkley, 34, and Tori Adams, 27, have remained the strongest of the couples to come out of the experiment. Dubbed fake by both viewers and contestants for the entire season, the controversial couple have proved the naysayers wrong by still standing firmly by each other months after the cameras stopped rolling. “Jack flew to Melbourne to spend Christmas with Tori and her family, and she is now in the process of moving to the Gold Coast and…

It may have looked like a fun girls’ weekend but sources say Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock also got serious when they caught up recently. In between a trip to the theatre in New York – to cheer on their mutual friend Sarah Paulson at a performance of Appropriate – and a visit to upscale plastic surgery office The Retreat at Split Rock in Connecticut, there was much to discuss. Jen, 55, has admitted she is still thinking children will be part of her future. “I hear laughter, see kids running,” she told “Sandy”, 59, who chatted to her for Interview magazine in 2020. And, insiders say, she’s now turned to The Lost City star to help with an adoption! After all, no one knows better than Sandra – who…

They were quick to deny engagement rumours, but there’s speculation that publicity-shy Leonardo DiCaprio is simply keen to keep his big news to himself for just a little longer after his 25-year-old girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti was spotted wearing a giant sparkler on her ring finger! The couple – who were looking very cosy as they enjoyed a Mexican meal in Los Angeles together – have reportedly been getting to know each other’s families. And notorious ladies’ man Leo – who has been dating the Italian model since last August – has never ruled out finally tying the knot one day. “That time will come when that time comes,” says the 49-year-old Killers Of The Flower Moon star, who sources say is “in love” with the catwalk queen. “The truth is,…

Hugh Jackman and Katie Holmes have been acquaintances on the New York social scene for years, but no one has seen sparks fly like they did recently during the intermission of a Broadway play in New York. The famous duo arrived separately at Studio 54 for the final performance of Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age but didn’t catch up until the interval, when onlookers say the pair made a beeline for one another. “It was electric!” says an eyewitness. “They greeted each other like old friends and appeared to have lots to talk about. They’re both obsessed with the theatre, so it’s understandable, but this is the first time they’ve seen each other since his divorce, so they were flirting big time. Hugh had a twinkle in his…

As the price of living continues to take an almighty bite out of our income, it’s not just little luxuries that many people are doing without. Research shows that an increasing number of Aussies are skipping their regular dental check-ups, and more than half haven’t been to the dentist in more than a year. “Dentists are seen or perceived to be expensive by the public and people have limited access to affordable dental care and limited government funding,” says Dr May Chan, dentist and co-founder of Dental Boutique. “This results in people avoiding or delaying dental care.” Unfortunately, this can increase your risk of developing tooth and gum diseases that may end up costing more in the long run. Follow these tips to keep your bills to a minimum! STAY…

Lovable Larry Emdur became uncharacteristically ruffled after an online commenter questioned whether Seven “have anyone else?” after The Morning Show star hosted the network’s Good Friday Appeal, which raised $23 million. “I’m okay with you not liking me on TV, heck I don’t even like me on TV. You tagged me on your post so you wanted me to see it and I have and I just wanted you to know this,” the usuallyaffable 59-year-old responded to the heckler. “Mate I don’t know what you did on Friday but there’s a good chance I was a part of something that will certainly enhance the lives of sick children and will very likely save lives along the way. Enjoy the rest of your Easter.”…

In 2005, Simone Callahan was a lost woman. Reeling from her much-publicised divorce to Australia’s most-famous cricket player, Shane Warne, the bubbly and infectious blonde that we were used to seeing was, behind the scenes, falling apart. “I felt I had let my kids down when I got divorced – my parents are still married and I’d never contemplated being a single parent,” she tells Woman’s Day. “I felt defeated, and I wasn’t just able to deal with it privately – it was being played out for all the world to see. That was a very difficult time.” On top of all the societal pressures and growing public interest in her split, Simone was also at a crossroad in her professional life after dedicating the previous 10 years to her…

Netflix’s remarkable re-enactment of that Prince Andrew interview, Scoop, dominated the streaming charts after it dropped last week, once again leaving the royal family red-faced about his association with the Jeffrey Epstein case. Starring Rufus Sewell as Andrew, the dramatised TV movie was a gut-wrenching reminder of the prince’s self-destructive interview with the BBC in 2019, in which a Newsnight journalist focused on his friendship with the convicted paedophile. Now, friends say it’s put “immense pressure” on his devastated daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, to cut ties with their beleaguered dad. “Both of them have their own young families and that’s their priority,” one royal insider tells Woman’s Day exclusively. “This situation with their father just won’t go away and no amount of ‘distance’ seems to be enough, especially for…
