A recipe that exudes freshness — which is exactly what Miriam Al-Noah’s cooking is all about.

Day to day, Mim works as a Brand & Content Manager but in her downtime she hosts dinner parties whenever she can. And if she’s not doing that then she’s traversing regional Victoria scoping out local produce and new restaurants.

For Mim, its equal parts the taste of the food but also the experience around it — the handmade ceramics she uses to decorate tables, the stories behind the dinnerware she uses, how she presents dishes, down to the playlist she makes just for that particular evening.
