WIN 1 of 20 copies of the novel White Gum Creek by Nicole Hurley-Moore, thanks to Allen & Unwin.

 Nick Langtree has lived reclusively on his farm, Winters Hill, ever since the tragic death of his wife. On the occasional trip into nearby White Gum Creek he keeps to himself and that’s the way he likes it. And though over the last six years the townsfolk have tried to reach out to Nick, he’s pushed them all away.

Whenever Nick comes into the Gumnut Bakery, Natasha Duroz tries to engage him in conversation when she serves him. There’s something about him that intrigues Tash, but she’s not sure if it’s because she feels sorry for him or there’s something more.

At last encouraged by the warmth of a few old and new friends, Nick gradually begins to re-engage with the outside world. Then, suddenly some minor vandalism on his farm escalates and odd things begin to happen on Winters Hill. Is someone out to hurt Nick or have his years of solitude been playing tricks on his mind?

This entrancing novel is about overcoming heartache and loss through the power of friendship and love.

  • Homemade chicken soup because my mum used to make it for me whenever I wasn’t feeling well.


  • Anything my nan makes because she cooks with love and I can feel it with every bite.


  • Dark Chocolate. It gives me such a boost and makes me feel happy.


  • Lasagne. I love it! Meat, pasta and béchamel sauce in one little yummy packet, so to say. I’m not Italian but wish I was!


  • You can never go wrong with chocolate in any variety, shape or form it soothes the soul, helps my brain slow down, eases stress and gives me a sense of happiness when the sugar rush hits at least for a little while


  • My favorite comfort food is any kind of chocolate it just makes me feel so good


  • White chocolate and raspberry ice-cream! All that crunchy chocky, all the sweet gooey raspberry syrup, all that smooth creaminess just melting in my mouth giving me joy at being rather naughty, and feeds my inner child. Very comforting!


  • Chocolate. I mean, is there really anything else that compares? It melts in your mouth, comes in many varieties and is readily available “to go” from the supermarket shelf. No preparation required, just a sweet tooth.


  • Chocolate ! Because it just makes me really happy and tastes amazing.
    But if I have too much I feel sick afterwards so it kinds of help me not to eat too much !


  • Lamb shanks. Leave them to cook all day and nakes the house smell yum


  • My favourite comfort food has to be a nice cup of honey tea and crumpets they judt make you feel warm and snuggly inside.


  • I love anything that is baked in my nan’s combustion oven on the farm…. Chocolate cake, apple pie, roast lamb, big Sunday breakfast. Such wonderful memories & beautiful aromas.


  • Hmmm, I think the classic takeaways. Maccas, KFC, Legs N Breasts, Hungry Jacks. I very rarely eat these so when in need of comfort, I go for food outside of my every day diet


  • It has to be chocolate,
    Smooth and creamy and oh so nice,
    Makes me feel better in a trice.


  • I am on a fairly strict diet, I actually love the diet shakes I get from Opti slim ( Australian company) they taste nice because the flavourings are all natural, and they make me feel full with no guilt


  • I absolutely love dark chocolate. It is my little sweet treat for when the kids go to bed after a jammed packed day. I generally snuggle in bed and enjoy some me time


  • My go to comfort food is chips and gravy – I know its not good for me but it always makes me feel so much better!


  • Icecream with milo or topping on it…tasty and easy to prepare. Just need to keep it away from the kids and hubby.


  • Mashed potato is my all time comfort food. My Mum has always made the best mash and it always reminds me of home.


  • Chicos babies as they are yummy and not sticky
