Vinny's sandwich shop brings wine-bar panache to Sydney's south
In a beautifully symbiotic relationship, Vinny's bar menu (cheese, meat, dips, olives) coincides with the next door pizzeria, Tutto Vero, cranking up its oven. This means, Thursday to Sunday, you can follow your focaccia and fava bean dip with a margherita fresh out of the wood-fire. Tutto's 'Pachi' pizza – ricotta-stuffed crust, twirled handkerchiefs of mortadella, fior di latte, pistachio crumb and lemon zest – is a marvel, as is the San Marzano's fiery combination of salami, 𝄒nduja, honey, fresh ricotta and garlic oil. Pizza will be delivered to your table at Vinny's, perhaps just as musicians start their set on a Sunday afternoon. Three more spots for sandwiches and drinks Norma's Deli A cafe, diner, food hall and bakery, Norma's – named after owner James Sideris' grandmother – is a sprawling one-stop shop of luscious groceries plus a cornucopia of Greek-inspired breakfast and lunch dishes. Grab a booth and pair a hot salami, eggplant and spiced honey mayo sandwich with Greek beer or Sicilian wine. 74-78 The Corso, Manly, Sol Bread and Wine As the sun kapows into this European-style bistro-bakery's front window, try finessed seafood, pasta, charcuterie and sandwiches (hello salted beef and sauerkraut), all available with wine and cocktails until 4pm. Shop 2, 168 Walker Street, North Sydney, Randy's Wine This small bar-cafe serves beach vibes, piadinas and coffee by day before oysters, charcuterie and cocktails at night. Match sunset views with an oyster-shell martini and caraway focaccia smeared with smoked butter, or fried chicken on a dainty milk bun.

I'm a professional meal planner. These 5 quick dinners require just a handful of ingredients from Trader Joe's.
As a professional meal planner, I shop primarily at Trader Joe's for a wide variety of affordable ingredients that simplify meal prep. The store's array of pre-seasoned and pre-prepared ingredients for every cuisine and diet makes it easy to create delicious and inventive family meals — even on busy weeknights. These five dinners are some of my favorites, as they use only a few ingredients from Trader Joe's, require minimal prep, and are easily adaptable for both plant-based and omnivore eaters. This chopped falafel salad is my new go-to meal Ingredients: two heads of romaine lettuce, two Roma tomatoes, an English cucumber, ½ cup of kalamata olives, 7 ounces of Trader Joe's tabbouleh, ½ cup of Trader Joe's Goddess dressing, and 12 frozen Trader Joe's falafel Main-event salads are one of my favorite ways to feed my mixed-diet family. This easy Greek-inspired version starts with a bag of frozen Trader Joe's falafel. While they're baking, I chop the romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Then, I add them to a large serving bowl. Next, I stir in Trader Joe's prepared tabbouleh — an easy addition that adds texture and more Mediterranean flavor. Once the falafel is cooked, I quarter each one and toss them into the bowl, along with a drizzle of Trader Joe's Goddess dressing. When my kids need a little extra motivation to eat their greens, I serve the salad with pita halves so they can turn it into fun, customizable pita pockets. Skillet lasagna makes for an easy weeknight meal Ingredients: a tablespoon of olive oil, half of an onion, 24 ounces of Trader Joe's marinara sauce, two packages of Trader Joe's vegan ravioli, 2 tablespoons of chopped basil, 6 ounces of vegan Boursin cheese, and a cup of vegan mozzarella shreds With all the flavors of homemade lasagna, this version requires virtually no prep and is on the table in under 30 minutes. I start by sautéing the onion and garlic until fragrant. Then, I stir in Trader Joe's marinara sauce and let it simmer. Next, I add two packages of ravioli — Trader Joe's vegan spinach and cashew is my go-to — and cook them for about five minutes. After removing the skillet from the heat, I add dollops of vegan Boursin cheese and sprinkle on shredded dairy-free mozzarella. A quick broil melts everything to perfection. I finish the meal with fresh chopped basil. This meal is cozy, comforting, and easy to pull off on a busy weeknight. You don't need to be a seasoned chef to serve up this ramen recipe Ingredients: 2 quarts of Trader Joe's ginger miso broth, a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, 14 ounces of Trader Joe's organic baked teriyaki tofu, four packages of Trader Joe's miso ramen, 2 cups of chopped napa cabbage, four heads of baby bok choy, and a cup of shiitake mushrooms Using a few of my favorite Trader Joe's ingredients, I can easily make a hearty, flavorful bowl of miso ramen. I start by bringing the ginger miso broth to a boil in a large stockpot. While it heats, I cube and sauté organic baked teriyaki tofu. Once the broth is ready, I add the noodles and the seasoning from a Trader Joe's miso ramen cup. To finish, I stir in chopped bok choy, sliced shiitake mushrooms, and the cooked tofu. In just 20 minutes and with only a few ingredients, this plant-based ramen delivers great comfort and flavor. These easy meatball subs are a family favorite Ingredients: 28 ounces of San Marzano tomatoes, a tablespoon of Italian seasoning, 12 frozen vegan meatballs, 4 ounces of vegan mozzarella shreds, a tablespoon of garlic olive oil, ¼ cup of basil leaves, and four Trader Joe's sandwich rolls This meal is almost embarrassingly simple to make, but it's one my kids request on repeat. I start by baking the meatballs — meatless for me and beef for the rest of the family. Trader Joe's has both types in the freezer section. Once they're cooked, I slice open sandwich rolls, spread on the marinara, and tuck in the meatballs. I add more marinara on top, sprinkle some shredded cheese, and pop them under the broiler until the cheese melts. Dinner doesn't get easier than this family-favorite meal. This pizza/salad mashup is my favorite dinner shortcut Ingredients: a package of Trader Joe's pizza crust, a tablespoon of garlic olive oil, four garlic cloves, ½ cup of vegan mozzarella shreds, and a bag of Trader Joe's lemony arugula basil salad kit Trader Joe's has a great lineup of salads that pair perfectly with pizza, but I like to skip the side dish and serve my salad right on top. Trader Joe's precooked pizza crust makes this recipe easy. I start by brushing it with garlic olive oil and layering on fresh garlic slices. Then, I sprinkle it with dairy-free mozzarella and bake for five minutes. While that's in the oven, I toss together the ingredients from my favorite lemony arugula basil salad kit. Once the crust is golden, I spoon the salad on top. It's a quick, satisfying way to level up pizza night with almost no extra effort.
