From the editor
When it comes to sharing the family’s
favourite Christmas recipes, there’s no such
thing as oversharing. In this week’s edition
we can only be grateful to NightQuarter
owner Michelle Christoe, who hasn’t held
back on giving us her Nan’s delicious
pudding and brandy sauce recipe, and
Sunshine Coast foodie Martin Duncan, who
says the only way to go is with a Buderim
Ginger recipe for glazed ham. While the
radio host with the most, Todd Widdicombe,
gives us the raw prawn on how to keep
these little orange delicacies fresh.
It’s a big life, especially for some. This
week, we speak to surf photographer
Andrew Carruthers, whose life, right from
the very beginning showed signs of being
different. Read on and you will find out
about the man who is diving deep, not only
to capture the magnificence of Sunshine
