    I was nervous whether this would scratch my creative itch in the way Blueprint did (sometimes surprisingly) - but the varying rhythm of each of the episodes is so satisfying. Lived the Richard Hart ep - and I’ve never baked bread in my life (not even a pandemic-loaf!). Good finds AG and team

  • Broad Beans

    I was listening with interest to the chef from Lorne regarding cooking broad beans whole. My father often cooked whole, young beans in a parsley and white sauce. Give it a crack. I’ve tried to locate another way of contacting but no joy.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fufu for beginners — The rise of African food in Australia
Q: How do conversations about Jollof Rice illustrate broader themes of culinary identity and ownership across Africa?
The host and guests describe a spirited, good-natured debate where regional pride meets personal family recipes, showing how food becomes a badge of cultural identity that evolves with migration and cross-cultural exchange.
Jo Barrett's future-focussed food
Q: Do you see wild game being a potential solution for future food and sustainability?
Yes, as part of a balanced approach that includes farming, wild game can provide a humane, regenerative source of protein, if managed properly and integrated with local ecosystems.
A daily grind — The story of pepper
Q: What makes pepper such a remarkable commodity in historical trade?
Pepper's small size, portability, and ability to store value made it an ideal currency-like trade good and a driver of long-distance exchange, especially across the Indian Ocean routes.
Sourdough superstar Richard Hart
Q: What defines a perfect loaf of bread?
Hart describes a perfect loaf as one that remains balanced in texture and flavor, with a crust that's crisp and complex, and a crumb that stays pillowy yet structurally sound through baking.
Why am I hungry? The science of appetite
Q: What is the biological mechanism intrinsic to all of us that makes us want to eat, and how does appetite work across individuals and cultures?
The host introduces the concept and frames the discussion around gut hormones, brain signaling, and the balance between short-term and long-term energy stores, which the guest then elaborates with genetic and hormonal pathways.
