Our current issue has a brilliant guide to food and wine touring in the Swan Valley but since you may also be heading out of town for the school holidays we thought we'd let you have a look at our guide to food and drink in Denmark from issue 18. Safe traveling.

Tell us if there's a more diverse and comprehensive food mag in Oz because we'll run out and buy it.

SPICE takes you out on an octopus boat using Fremantle Octopus' innovative traps; then via Theo Kailis' family recipe for octopus with braised leeks; before reaching head chef of Vasse Felix winery, Aaron Carr, with his lovingly integrated, Spanish-themed Seasonal Menu. We give Loose Box's Alain Fabregues a well deserved front spot on the cover and talk about his combination of fine French dining, accommodation and gardening. The Swan Valley can now be confidently navigated by bicycle riders both relaxed and keen with our Regional Guide to cycling the Swan Valley.
Helen Pratt tells you everything a chef needs to know about eggs and then teaches you how to make three desserts with extra bits and a french caramel that won't put you in the Burns Unit. We look at how organic farmers are mainstreaming and then let four local producers tell their stories. You'll find out why Pinots here are different to over there and how one of our oldest microbreweries keeps pushing the game forward. Matt Stone of Greenhouse makes pasta and Adrian Ross of the Hyatt puts chocolate with pot roast. Vince Garreffa shows you how to smoke your own meat, Marg Johnson covers soft herbs, Verity James rounds up spring fruit and veggies and Sabrina Hahn catches fruit flies. Bowl makers and bowling growers and, as always, much more. SPICE Spring, out now.

Big weekend in York this weekend. There's the opening of the York Mill Markets. Michelle Taylor, who took the brilliant shot of Josh and Rachel from MyattsField for Issue 9, has an exhibition, Fashion Trails, at the York Mill Gallery. And if that's not enough to get you out on the Great Eastern Hwy and turning right at the Lakes Roadhouse, there's the York Agricultural Show
