  • Hybrid car is a worthy experience

    After driving the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid AWD for one week, I feel it is a great choice for those who want a stylish and efficient vehicle. I found it very enjoyable and it was a good insight into what it was like to drive a hybrid car.

    Here are some of its best features which makes it stand out:

    1. Hybrid: The Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid car is a hybrid which combines a turbocharged engine with an electric motor. This setup gives the car a smooth, quiet and powerful driving experience.

    2. Fuel Efficiency: Fuel is so expensive these days hence any way to save on fuel is great. It is incredibly fuel efficient as I didn’t need to refill fuel that much compared to fuel-powered cars. This makes it a great choice for those who want to save money on fuel and also reduces their environmental impact. You can save so much just by charging it at home. It took me about 7 hours to get a full charge. On full electric mode, that was enough to use up all my battery in a day so I found it was a bit small for my family.

    3. Advanced Safety Features: The Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid car has a range of advanced safety features such as lane departure warning, cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring. These features help to keep my family safe whilst on the road.

    4. Stylish and Comfortable Interior: The Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid car has a stylish and comfortable leather interior. The dashboard features a large touchscreen display, while the seats are comfortable. My favourite feature is the panoramic sunroof that provides plenty of natural light, airy feel and makes it feel more spacious. It comes with a power tailgate so I was able to open the boot with my foot which was useful when I’m carrying the kids and/or have groceries in my hand. Another bonus is the massage seat function in the driver seat! Makes waiting in traffic a bit more bearable.

    5. Different Driving Modes: Different situations call for different driving modes. We can easily switch between Electric, Hybrid, Sport or AWD. This flexibility is great as different drivers like a specific mode or depends on where you are traveling to.

  • Advanced safety features

    As a mother who constantly has kids sitting in the back car, safety is my priority. It doesn’t matter how nice or advanced the car is, it definitely has to have a full-proof safety system so I can ensure that accidents are prevented and minimise any risk of injury – keeping my whole family safe whilst in the car.

    One of the key safety features is its active safety braking system. There are cameras and radar technology that detects potential collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians or obstacles. The system will notify and apply the brakes automatically to help avoid the impact before it is too late.

    Another feature is the adaptive cruise control, which has sensors to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front, preventing any rear-end collisions. Other safety features include lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring.

    I also like how it automatically locks the door when you start driving and there’s a button in the front near the steering wheel which you can press to child lock the back doors. This is so convenient as you don’t have to manually child lock. You can turn on and off as you wish.

    There’s also a speed limit recognition on the dashboard which reminds you what the speed limit is on that road. It comes in particularly useful during school zones!

  • Hybrid car - range anxiety minimized with in built recharge system

    There are a few different driving modes that you can choose from depending on where you are driving, the type of roads you are driving on, weather condition and distance you are planning to go.

    I was running low on battery so I decided to try other driving modes to recover and conserve energy, maximizing the technology of this car.

    I discovered there is an B-mode in the car which can recharge the battery and thereby increasing the range you can drive just by utilizing the braking system. Braking and decelerating the speed of the car whilst in this mode essentially recharges the battery. I found I was about to increase the range on average 6km but utilizing this option.

    Another option is the e-SAVE function which uses the fuel in your car to recharge the battery. Expensive way to recharge the battery using fuel if you recalculate the cost of fuel vs electricity per km.

    Range anxiety is a major concern for many electric vehicle users. Nevertheless, I like how there are other options to recharge the battery in case of emergencies where you can’t find a charging station. That’s the beauty of a hybrid car – there’s always a fuel option available!

  • Hybrid car - easy to charge but small battery

    One of the standout features of the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid is the combined turbocharged engine with an electric motor. This is my first hand experience of a hybrid car.

    It is extremely easy to charge the car. You don’t need to install a special charging station at home (you can and that can offer quicker charge) as you can efficiently charge using a domestic socket. It comes with a charging cable so you can plug in overnight or when your car is parked at home. Some shopping centres also offer free public charging stations and you can use this to charge the car whilst you are shopping.

    I used the app Chargefox to find public charging stations. Unfortunately, there weren’t many around in my area and the majority I see are in the Eastern Suburbs in Metropolitan Sydney. There also wasn’t any charging ports available when I was visiting a relative who lives in an apartment block. I just wish there was more infrastructure available for electric vehicles. Don’t be too concerned, as there are plenty of petrol stations around so you never will be stranded. This was never a major problem for me as I charged overnight at home. It would be something I have to consider if I was travelling long distances as I would need to map out to see where I can charge my car along the way if needed.

    One other concern I had was how small the battery is. On the full electric mode, I was only able to travel 50km until the battery ran out. This is the distance I travel to and from work including school drop-offs per day. I just found it slightly frustrating that the battery was smaller than I expected and I had to charge after one day! The petrol engine allows you to travel on 620km so it is quite a big tank. Hence, the electric component accounts for just 7.5% of its overall energy capacity.

    Overall, the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid AWD is still a good option for drivers who are seeking for an efficient vehicle that can handle a variety of driving situations. Its All-Wheel-Drive system keeps it grounded and provides better traction to the road, which offers a more safe and stable driving experience especially in bad weather or uneven surfaces.

  • Positive first impressions and looks sleek and modern

    It was super exciting driving the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid AWD today! My children and husband loved the car and wanted to go for a longer drive than usual. Here are my first impressions of the car:

    The exterior of the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid AWD is sleek and modern, with sharp lines and a bold front grille. As a sport range, the car does have a sporty look, with nice curves, LED headlights and taillights as part of the design. The colour is red and black, which really stands out in the crowd.

    The interior of the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid AWD is spacious and comfortable. The dashboard features a large touchscreen display that controls a range of features, including the entertainment system, climate control, navigational system etc. The materials used throughout the interior are made out of high-quality and premium leather.

    The seats are comfortable and supportive, which you can easily adjust to accommodate drivers of all sizes. The rear seats are spacious and can be adjusted to provide additional legroom or boot space if needed. It comes with a pull down cup holder/arm rest for those who want better comfort. My favourite feature would be the panoramic sunroof, which provides natural lighting, creating a bright and airy feel inside the car.

  • Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid a Great Family Car

    Final recap on the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-in Hybrid AWD and its certainly a thumbs up from me.

    This is a car that is super impressive, with its sporty exterior to the high end look inside. It has all the mood cons that most car drivers would be looking for, as well as some cool extras like the massage function on the driver’s seat.

    Some of my favourite features of the car would have to be the large panoramic sunroof, boot space, stylish inside interior, Nappa leather seats, Apple Car Play, wireless charging to name a few.

    If there were any cons with this car, I would say that the rear and 360-degree reversing camera is a little grainy and could be sharper, but still fine to use the way it was. I also didn’t like the position of the cruise control function which is hidden behind the steering wheel.

    Picking the car up from the city gave me the opportunity to drive the car on the freeway at speeds of 110kmh as well as well as doing trips around my local area. The car handled both so well and really is a super smooth ride. I was impressed at how quiet the car is whilst driving.

    Charging the car is super simple, but as mentioned before I would suggest getting a charging station for home, to speed up the charge time. For me to charge the car using the charger provided which plugged into my domestic power point, was taking approx. 6 hours to charge back to 100%.

    Using the car for a week, I used just under a ¼ of a tank of fuel. This was mainly used when driving on the freeway to collect and return the car. If I had only driven the car on my usual day to day routine, going too and from work, picking up and dropping kids off to school and after school activities I would have used much less fuel if any at all. I was doing majority of these smaller local trips on full electric mode and getting just over 50km of distance in full electric mode from a full charge.

    I can totally see my family and I owning Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-in Hybrid and would recommend if looking for a new family car to certainly go and check it out for yourself too.

  • Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid Driving Modes

    Your Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Hybrid Plug-in AWD SUV has 4 driving modes which you can easily change via a push button near your gear lever.

    You have Electric, Hybrid, Sport and All Wheel Drive. I mainly used either Electric or the Hybrid mode. I preferred using the Electric mode which uses 100% electric energy. The Hybrid mode is a mix of both electric and petrol engine.

    Running the car in full electric mode you would be surprised at how quiet but powerful the car is. I didn’t find the car to lag at all. When I pushed the acceleration peddle the car reacted instantly. It’s a very smooth and comfortably drive.

    Driving the car on full electric mode, I was getting approx 50-52km in distance before charge ran out. This distance will vary from driver to driver as a number of factors come into play. This was enough distance to me to get to work and pick up the kids from school with a small amount of charge still left.

    Using the Electric mode, meant I was saving money by not having to go and buy fuel which is a great feeling. I can certainly see my family and I owning a Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Hybrid Plug-in.

  • Charging Your Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid is Simple

    When it come’s to charging the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid it couldn’t be any simpler. Your car comes with a battery which can be recharged via a standard domestic household power point.

    To charge you just plug the Type 2 plug into your vehicle and the lights will flash green around the plug when in charging mode. Your dash will show the time till charge is completed, battery percent and distance available. Once fully charged you just pull the plug out and pack away.

    The only downfall is it does take a rather long time to charge your car back to 100% doing it this way. Owning this car I would consider getting a home charging station which will save significant time charging. I would recommend charging the battery frequently to 100% so you are able to take full advantage of using the electric driving capabilities and in turn save money on fuel.

  • The Peugeot 3008 GT Sport is Just What the Family Ordered

    My family are really enjoying the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid. Like me they all love the look of the car and have lots of great things to say.

    My son Hayden who’s 7 years old, like most boys are obsessed with cars. On the day I collected the car, I told him I would be picking him up from school in the Peugeot 3008. When Hayden approached the car, he belted out a huge WOW. He said the Peugeot looked like a super-fast sports car.

    My eldest Hannah who’s 12 whilst also loved the look of the car, was more interested in the USB ports out the back which she could easily access. She was also happy that Apple Play was available so she could take over the music and put her own playlists on.

    Hubby Bert loved that he could easily fit his surfboard in the boot with half the seats folded down. Even with the surfboard in the boot there was still plenty of room for other things. He’s driven the car a few times and was impressed at how much power the car had, especially in full electric mode. He expected it to be more sluggish, which it certainly wasn’t.

    Overall, I think it’s safe to say my family would love owning a Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid AWD.

  • The Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-In Hybrid at First Glance

    On first glance you can’t help but love the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Hybrid Plug-In AWD SUV. This car boasts a bold design. I would even go so far as to say, it’s a HOT looking car. The front of the cars frameless grille is striking how it wraps around the front sides of the vehicle. The 19” black diamond cut alloy wheels make’s the Peugeot 3008, look super sporty.

    Stepping inside the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport, it looks luxurious. The Nappa leather seats with its sporty pattern stitching, not only looks great but feels great to sit in. It has front heated seats and the driver’s seat also has a back massage function. OMG!! The massage option was a great touch.

    You have a 10” touchscreen to navigate the many settings available, including satnav, climate control and rear and 360-degree camera. I was able to use Apple Car play easily, which was brilliant. It also has Android Auto. The fronts dash is simple and easy to read and shows current speed limit, as well as other important information on the cars electric driving range and fuel range. The front has a blue LED light strip and wooden accents to make the car look super classy.

    There is a large wireless charging station, cup holders and a deep centre storage bin. I especially loved the storage bin. It opens via two doors, so you don’t have to get the passenger to lift their arm every time you need to grab something. You also have good size door bins for drinks and other items you wish to have at an arm’s reach.

    In the back there are two USB charging sockets. My kids especially loved the massive panoramic sunroof, which goes well past their heads above. Plenty of room for the kids to spread out. We have a booster seat that fitted in well, with plenty of room still left for another two passengers.

    The boot is has automatic open and close feature and was a great size for my needs. The boot holds 529L or 1537L with the back seats folded down. With the seats folded down on one size my husband could easily fit his surfboard into the boot.

    Overall, the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Hybrid Plug-In is super stylish car and screams lux. A mum car, that any mother would love to own.

  • No compromises on this sporty Hybrid SUV

    The space achieved in this car is 5-star! It has a HUGE boot space despite having 2 engines and we were able to fit the girls car seats in and easily fit a third person in-between.

    Being a hybrid I did have pre-conceived assumptions on how it would handle but they were all blown out of the water the first time I drove the Peugeot 3008. Charging was incredibly easy – I could literally drive into my garage and plug the cord straight into the powerpoint next to my car – no special plugs needed. It was so easy to switch to electric mode – just a press of a button next to the gearstick. The most charge I could achieve was 42km which was overnight but this was enough for driving around doing errands for a few days.

    The only feature I was bemused about was the steering wheel. It is an oblong shape which is strange to see but after the first turn it all makes sense. I was so surprised at how easily it made maneuvering around. In addition it moves so smoothly and is one thing that made it hard getting back into a different car.

    Overall I absolutely loved the Peugeot 3008; it was sporty but comfortable, full of hi-tech features but simple and easy to drive around in.

  • A Hybrid SUV ticking all the boxes!

    There are so many features of the Peugeot 3008 that I loved; but my two favourites were the sunroof and the i-cockpit.

    If my girls had to choose one feature they loved the most; without hesitation they would say the sunroof. For me I loved being bathed in the sunlight during the day and then being able to see the stars on those night-time drives. What kid doesn’t love the ability to open the roof of a car and bring in a bit of the outdoors. It also takes away the feeling of being “closed in”. It was a win win for us all.

    There are no shortage of hi-tech features in the Peugeot 3008 and the i-cockpit is no exception. I loved being able to drive + navigating + access all controls without having to take my eyes off the road. It is ingenuous to enable the displays to be customised because it means I can drive comfortably seeing the controls that suit me, but then my husband could get in and change the display to show what he wants. When using the navigation feature the i-cockpit can be swapped to show the map which I loved; having the directions straight at my eye line felt safer because my focus was not being taken too far away from the road.

    The Peugeot 3008 Hybrid was a dream to drive regardless of the weather; I always felt comfortable and safe in all conditions. It ticks all the boxes a family would want or need.

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.


    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)



      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
