"Find flavour in places you wouldn't realize and savour it." Today, we're joined by one of Melbourne's favourite chefs, Ellie Bouhadana. As Head Chef at Collingwood's Hope St Radio, Ellie dishes up an ever-evolving menu that reflects a wholesome, neighbourly vibe– with souped-up snacks, fresh pastas, and familiar flavours. Now, Ellie has written her first cookbook, which is out next month. It's called Ellie's Table. It's part journal, part advice column, and part recipe book. There's a whole chapter on her famous oily focaccia, the one she makes by hand every single day at Hope Street, and the one she delivered during Melbourne's lockdowns. It also contains stories about her family's influence on her cooking, including her dad's love of mandarins and her mother's halal bread. Ellie shares tips on how thick we should chop zucchinis, what she stocks in her pantry to make sure every meal is packed with flavour, and a recent meal she hosted with martinis and matzah balls.

France Soir and Hector's Deli are venues that Melburnians hold dear. The former is a late-night dining institution that has served the city for 38 years and welcomed the likes of The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen through its doors.

Dom Wilton, chef and owner, believes both establishments have the shared ethos of “perfecting simplicity”. In this episode, Dom is joined by Jean Paul Prunetti, co-founder and owner of France Soir, to chat about the legacy of his French institution, the future of both businesses, and how to achieve longevity in the hospitality game.

"We knew we wanted to do a trip, we didn't know we wanted to do a book"  In 2016, writer and content producer Caroline Clements (Broadsheet's founding editor) and her partner, photographer and environmental scientist Dillon Seitchik-Reardon, quit their jobs to begin a search for Australia's most beautiful beaches, pools and swimming spots. The result was their book Places We Swim: part travel guide, part photo essay and part cultural study.

Today, we're chatting with Malaysian chef Junda Khoo, the restaurateur behind four Ho Jiak venues in Sydney. With a background in banking, Junda's path to professional cooking was unconventional. He credits his love of flavour to his grandmother, but he really learnt to cook as a teenager when he first moved to Sydney and was given $150 per week to spend on groceries. Today, Junda relishes the opportunity to challenge the meaning of 'authentic' Malaysian food and his cooking is guided by one simple principle: 'was it delicious?'.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Around Town's Summer Series. As we wrap up for 2023, we're looking back at the conversations we've had with chefs, artists, festival directors and Broadsheet's team of writers.  Kirsten Tibballs is a pastry chef and chocolatier, the host of SBS's The Chocolate Queen, a judge at the world's most prestigious baking competitions and the educator behind Savour School in Brunswick. And she's amassed nearly 800,000 Instagram followers for her exquisite pastry work and technical prowess. Kirsten joins Around Town with the details of two exciting developments: her new cookbook (224 pages of molten, chilled, gooey, classic goodness) and a chocolate-covered collaboration that's been a year in the making.  New episodes of Broadsheet Melbourne Around Town drop Monday, Wednesday, Friday each week.
