Not a drill: Aussie icon Nagi from RecipeTin Eats is hosting a lunch in Sydney soon
Guests will enjoy four shared dishes by Nagi, Yumiko and JB, and four from Shaun and Shiranie, plus a cocktail on arrival and free-flowing red and white wine. It's happening on Saturday, June 28 – kicking off from 1pm. And our favourite bit? Dozer, Nagi's beloved senior golden retriever, will also be making a special guest appearance.
A social enterprise, Plate It Forward employs, trains and supports people from marginalised backgrounds and those who have experienced adversity (including refugees from war), shining a spotlight on their stories through their venues, including Kyiv, Colombo Social, Kabul Social and Kolkata Social. And as well as creating tasty, bulletproof recipes, Nagi is also passionate about supporting people doing it tough – she's the founder of RecipeTin Meals, a not-for-profit food bank that has donated more than 300,000 meals to Sydneysiders in need. So this is a beautiful collab in our books.
Created by Shaun and Shiranie, Mum Cha is a monthly celebration of the women and mothers in life who inspire us – and a way to bring people together over love and a banging meal.
Tickets to Mum Cha with Nagi, Yumiko and JB, as well as Shaun and Shiranie, cost $150 per person. They go on sale at 4pm today (Thursday, May 29), Sydney time. You can snap yours up here.

BBC Death in Paradise's 'favourite' detective teased for spin-off appearance as star drops hits
Kris Marshall from BBC's hit show Death in Paradise has teased that he could appear in the show's Australian spin-off Kris Marshall, known for his role as Detective Humphrey Goodman in Death in Paradise, has sparked excitement among fans after hinting at a possible cameo in the show's Australian spin-off, Return to Paradise. Kris originally took over from Ben Miller, who portrayed Richard Poole until his character was dramatically killed off. Kris played Humphrey Goodman from the show's third season through to the end of season six, where he exited the series to pursue a love story with Martha Lloyd, portrayed by Sally Bretton. However, their romantic tale didn't end there, it continued in the spin-off series Beyond Paradise, which follows the couple as they relocated to the Devon countryside to be closer to Martha's family, the Mirror reports. Although he's currently focused on his role in Beyond Paradise, Kris hasn't ruled out making an appearance in Return to Paradise, which has been praised for featuring the franchise's first female lead. The show, already greenlit for a second series, stars Anna Samson as Detective Mackenzie Clarke, bringing a fresh dynamic to the ever-expanding Death in Paradise universe. Speaking with Woman's Day Magazine about a potential crossover, Kris shared: "In the future, I'm definitely not ruling it out, no." He added, with a hint of mystery: "Never say never." If Kris does join the cast of Return to Paradise, he wouldn't be the first detective from the original series to appear. Ardal O'Hanlon, who played DI Jack Mooney, made a guest appearance in the spin-off's debut season. His character returned as Mackenzie's superior from London, and rumours suggest he may return again for the second series of the Aussie drama. The Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise storylines have crossed before. In Beyond Paradise's first season, fans were delighted to see Humphrey return to the Caribbean with Martha, marking the first on-screen meeting between Humphrey and current DI Neville Parker. Though producers have yet to confirm another crossover, filming for Return to Paradise is already underway and the possibility of Humphrey Goodman appearing has fans buzzing. Adding fuel to the speculation, Kris Marshall was recently spotted in Australia, prompting fans to wonder if a cameo is already in the works for Return to Paradise. One fan speculated on a Facebook fan page: "I wonder what Humph's doing here in Australia? Perhaps a Return to Paradise cameo." Another enthusiast responded, showing just how happy the cross over would make them. They wrote: "That would be spectacularly awesome - DI Goodman in Return to Paradise - with DI Mooney - hope so!". A third chimed in, stating: "Yes, my favourite detective, this needs to happen." For those eager to catch up, Death in Paradise is available for streaming on BBC iPlayer.
