I dropped into 3RRR's weekly Eat It show to talk about dinner parties - if we have them, how do we do them, and if we don't, what's stopping us? This is a pretty big topic that I'm diving into with great interest. We also preview my new Signature Dish Series, exclusive behind-the-scenes events in top restaurants.
Every couple of weeks, I drop into ABC Radio Melbourne to chat about what I've been eating, cooking and learning. This time, host Richelle Hunt and I chatted about lunch - how important is it to take the time to get away from your work station to eat, move, and communicate face-to-face. It's not possible for everyone, but I think it's great if you can carve out the time for a proper lunch break.
Every couple of weeks, I drop into ABC Radio Melbourne to chat about what I've been eating, cooking and learning. This time, host Richelle Hunt and I chatted about food safety, including the relish that was recently named food poisoning culprit at a swanky lunch. We also heard from a food safety expert about fermenting at home, and I gave a rundown on the EU's requests that Australian producers use different names for products including feta. Can you think of an alternative name for this popular cheese?
Every few weeks, I drop into ABC Radio Melbourne to chat about what I've been eating, cooking and learning. This time, host Dilruk Jayasinha and I chatted about the upcoming World Chocolate Day. The only thing that confuses me about a Chocolate Day is that it suggests that some days are NOT chocolate day. What kind of world do we live in?!
Every few weeks, I drop into ABC Radio Melbourne to chat about what I've been eating, cooking and learning. This time, is was truffles and delicious DIY projects - the joys and perils of making food from scratch.
I'm always on the hunt for my next food adventure so when I had the opportunity to go truffle hunting, I jumped at it with careful hands and an excited heart.
Flights to Italy are expensive, plus there's so much to see, do and – most importantly – eat when you get there. Luckily, Giro d'Italia, a new restaurant in the old 38 Chairs (and Paragon Cafe) premises puts a grand tour within reach of hungry but time-and-Euro-poor diners.
While the quality of Australia’s coffee has skyrocketed in the past 20 years, what we pay for it hasn’t. Our $4 lattes are leaving producers struggling – and prices may have to soar. I wrote a feature article on the coffee industry for Good Weekend magazine's Food Issue, and spoke about the story on Nine's Today show.
I love dropping into ABC Radio Melbourne to chat about what I've been eating, cooking and learning. This time, I came in to talk about low-carb ideas, cheat day wins and desserts with funny names. This is a very fun and light-hearted chat with comedian Dilruk Jayasinha.
Eating pasta is my favourite pastime but simply eating it means not gleaning every morsel of joy from the experience. Knowing the backstory enriches a meal, like an egg yolk spilling from raviolo. Lello, a smart city restaurant specialising in housemade pasta, delivers tagliatelle tales and fettuccine fables, elevating delicious pasta into culinary storytime.
