Attica Digest
We proudly acknowledge the Bunurong as the first people to love, live and dine on the lands on which Attica sits today.
We recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Peoples were the first sovereign nations of Australia from time immemorial, and they never ceded this sovereignty.

Recipe: The Evil Genius
If this cake were a person, it would be a real nasty piece of work. With its split personality, Evil Genius swindles fools left, right and centre on a path to total domination. At a glimpse, Evil Genius looks simple enough, oozing effortless charm. But this cake wants to rule the world. Underestimate this recipe at your own peril, a single touch to the lips will never be enough. You’ve been warned.
