New York-trained chef Sophia Young has contributed to some of Australia’s best food magazines and cookbooks, both as a food editor and stylist. For this month’s cover shoot, Young took inspiration from the punchy street-food flavours of Southeast Asia. “This cheerful menu, complete with drinks and cooling sweet treats that can be prepared well in advance, is perfect for a cocktail party on a balmy evening,” says Young.
