Our most popular recipes of 2024 are here to recap a tasty year of home cooking. It was a year of classics, with GT readers keeping our recipes for crowd-favourites such as eggplant parmigiana, fragrant stir-fries and go-to European dishes on high rotation.
The desserts that wouldn’t quit included Flour and Stone’s Lemon Dream cake, Persian love cakes, reimagined Portuguese tarts and Black Star Pastry’s world-famous strawberry and watermelon cake.
During the warmer months, perennial favourites such as Eton mess, chicken souvlaki and Dan Hong’s towering crisp eggplant dish were a hit. While winter was a time for warmth and comfort, like those nostalgia-inducing lemon delicious puddings, curries and Bourke Street Bakery’s meat pie. Plus, those classic soups can never be beaten, with our ham hock soup ranking high on the list yet again. But it was our ever-impressive Massaman curry recipe that was the most clicked and cooked dish this year, which is one to bookmark for when the weather starts to dip come autumn next year.
Ready? It’s time to give these popular recipes an encore.
