{"title":"Recipe 29 ➺ Haikal Raji","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery city has a handful of places that become bigger than the food they serve. A1 Bakery is one of them. Since 1992, Haikal Raji and his family have been turning out wood-fired breads, za'atar-laden manoush and Lebanese pastries at a frankly ridiculous rate. What began as a small family bakery in Brunswick is now part of Melbourne's collective appetite. The queues are constant, the recipes remain largely unchanged and the food still delivers the same thing it always has: comfort, generosity and the feeling that somebody's mum has made sure you've eaten properly. Some things are worth lining up for.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"alpha-box-dice-ancient-youth-gamay-2025","title":"Alpha Box \u0026 Dice - Ancient Youth Gamay 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNouveau-style Gamay has known a resurgence in the Adelaide Hills, taking on a second life far from its lengthy history in Beaujolais.
