Australian food writer Donna Hay’s latest cookbook, Sunshine, Lemons and Sea Salt, is published on 9 April in the UK. One of Australia’s most influential culinary voices, Hay has spent decades shaping modern home cooking through her bestselling books and iconic food magazine. Known for her effortlessly stylish, seasonal approach, she brings a distinctly Australian sense of light, ease and flavour to kitchens around the world.
In this, her most personal book yet, Hay invites readers into her own home overlooking Sydney Harbour, sharing a collection of fresh, sun-drenched recipes designed for relaxed, everyday living. From quick, flavour-packed weeknight dinners to long, leisurely lunches and casual beachside suppers, the book celebrates simple food made with beautiful ingredients. Alongside her signature no-fuss recipes, Hay also shares her renowned styling tips — offering inspiration for everything from laid-back gatherings to elegant garden table settings, all infused with a breezy coastal aesthetic.
