Welcome to another episode of Creating the Muse, where we sit in conversation with women whose stories invite us to see the world a little differently.
In this episode, I am delighted to welcome Amanda Cordony.
A food stylist, recipe developer, founder of The Cordony Kitchen and Food Editor of Australian House & Garden, Amanda has spent more than two decades creating experiences that bring people together. Her work extends far beyond recipes or beautifully styled tables. It is a philosophy of living that celebrates connection, generosity and the quiet rituals that transform everyday moments into lasting memories.
For Amanda, food is never just food. It is a table. It is family. It is conversation. It is the warmth of gathering, the stories we share, and the memories we carry long after the meal has ended. Through her work, she reminds us that true nourishment is found not only in what we eat, but in how we care for one another.
As the cover muse for our July issue, The Art of Living Well, Amanda embodies a way of living that values presence over perfection, simplicity over excess, and connection above all else. Her perspective invites us to slow down, to create beauty with intention, and to rediscover that some of life's richest moments are often the simplest.
In this episode, we explore:
The Origins of a Life in Food – How growing up in her family's delicatessen shaped Amanda's understanding of food, hospitality and the joy of bringing people together.
The Art of Gathering – Why food is so much more than nourishment, becoming a vehicle for connection, storytelling, belonging and love.
Living Well in a Busy World – Redefining success through simplicity, presence and creating a life that feels deeply nourishing rather than constantly full.
The Regulated Nervous System – Why so many women are finding freedom by taking things out rather than adding more, and how slowing down allows us to reconnect with ourselves.
Hosting as an Act of Care – The small, thoughtful rituals that make people feel welcomed, valued and deeply held, and why entertaining isn't about perfection but about making others feel at home.
Creativity, Seasonality & Home – Finding inspiration through the changing seasons, embracing imperfection, and creating spaces that nourish both ourselves and the people we love.
Amanda's wisdom is gentle, generous and quietly profound. She reminds us that living well isn't about striving for more. It is about slowing down long enough to notice what truly matters. Through food, home, beauty and meaningful connection, she offers a powerful reminder that the most extraordinary moments are often found in the simplest of rituals.
