It’s taken prolific military historian Peter Stanley 30 years to get his latest tome – a wartime novel of sport and war – on to the bookshelves. ROD HENSHAW shares the story of the book and why it took so long to see the light of day.

“No fast, no feast, the saying goes,” and it’s a principle which Canberra’s interfaith community has been putting into practice during the month of Ramadan, when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk.

A distinctly Canberran angle on Iftar (fast-breaking) around the ACT is the ecumenical flavour adopted by many organisations, flying in the face of Islamophobic incidents elsewhere.

A week ago, for instance, a lavish Iftar celebration spearheaded by humanitarian advocate Mohammed Ali and supported by Uniting Care took place at the Kippax Uniting Church, with members of many faith groups present.

Award-winning Rebel Rebel, in the NewActon precinc

Award-winning Rebel Rebel, in the NewActon precinct, always dares to be different, says dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON.

Although the menu changes over the seasons, Rebel Rebel’s intense desire to dish up award-winning, innovative and scrumptious food does not. I love the place and promise to visit more often.

Under the watchful eye of colourful David Bowie – featured on a framed poster near the large, open-concept kitchen – Rebel Rebel’s team operates with care, detail and attention.

The fit-out is as amazing as the food (visit to discover more).

We started our long lunch with the smart decision to select the “all in” menu for $90 per person, letting the chef choose on our behalf.

“I mostly get the wine matching right, but on a recent occasion my friend’s wine was much better suited to the gnocchi I ordered than the wine I’d chosen to accompany the meal,” laments wine writer RICHARD CALVER.

I find myself regularly cooking Italian food at home and eating out at Italian restaurants.

It’s the inveigling, ubiquitous taste of the Mediterranean, rich in pasta, olive oil, tomato and fish with wine as a condiment that makes this style of cuisine generally engaging and satisfying.

At home, I regularly make risotto and when I eat out at Italian restaurants I regularly order gnocchi (which when I make it at home often turns bullet-like) or rotolo or lasagne because I just don’t make them well.

I mostly get the wine matching right, but on a recent occasion my friend’s wine was much better suited to the gnocchi I ordered than the wine I’d chosen to accompany the meal.
