Whether you call them traditional foods, native ingredients, bush tucker or something else, what's harvested here is unique. Australia's a “megadiverse” country, home to around 700,000 species. 65,000-year-old grindstones found in a Kakadu rock shelter reflect the long, rich history of First Nations foods here and many plants are nutritional wonders – Kakadu plum has the highest vitamin C level in the world and even Captain Cook used Warrigal greens to save crews from scurvy. But witchetty grubs appear in Sweden's Disgusting Food Museum and native ingredients are largely absent from supermarkets, so are First Nations foods misunderstood and unfairly overlooked? In this episode, Lee Tran Lam talks to proud Bundjalung woman and cookbook author Mindy Woods, Chinese Australian chef Kylie Kwong and proud Mbabaram woman/Torres Strait Islander and nutritionist Sharna Motlap.

After building a career under the watch of some of Australia's best chefs, such as Alla Wolf-Tasker, Karen Martini and Kylie Kwong, Karena Armstrong (Salopian Inn) took a step back from the industry to focus on raising a family. But the energy, comradery and connections she experienced in the industry had her yearning to return – but she wanted to do it her way. When an opportunity rose to open a restaurant in regional South Australia, she leapt at the chance, and its not only given her the opportunity to truly express herself on the plate, but has become one of the most important restaurants of the modern era.https://www.instagram.com/karena_armstrong/?hl=enFollow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=enFollow Huckhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTShttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork
After working for trailblazers such as Neil Perry, Kylie Kwong and Tetsuya Wakuda, renowned chef and restaurateur Dave Campbell (Shellharbour Club) discovered a greater connection to produce and a yearning to be closer to the source. But after running an all-day eatery that was ahead of its time, he realised it was hard to foster deep connections with producers while working in the centre of Sydney. It led to a move to the south coast of New South Wales, where he not only created to successful regional restaurants but forged incredible connections with producers, and even started growing his own food too. Now he's taking his ethos to a club and re-inventing our perceptions of what it means to dine in a club down under.Follow Deep In The Weeds on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=enFollow Huckhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTShttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork
Reporting from murder scenes and interviewing Lorde live at the Grammys – that's what Joanna Hunkin did before she became editor at Gourmet Traveller. Enduring these high-pressure situations meant she wasn't too shaken by her first year at the magazine – which has been incredibly eventful and challenging, and involved her relocating from Auckland to take up the role. On her very first day on the job, at the Restaurant Awards at Bennelong last year, she was handing out honours to chefs Ben Shewry and Kylie Kwong. Then, as the pandemic hit, she found herself having to produce a magazine under lockdown – a tricky feat, given that photo shoots, recipe testing and other group activities are key to Gourmet Traveller's coverage. Her team used some leftfield ideas to complete cover shoots and other editorial work while socially distancing! We talk about some of the most memorable stories that have run in the magazine in the past year as well as relevant topics such as "authenticity" in food and how chefs feel about dealing with dietary requirements (from diners who claim they can't consume anything "shiny" or beginning with the letter 'A' to legit allergies to gluten and wheat – I wrote about this for the October issue of Gourmet Traveller). We also cover her early days in Hong Kong (where her mother fed her microwave bacon!) as well as Joanna's return to the city later in life, where she dined at secret restaurants hidden inside Hong Kong's high-density apartments. Joanna also chats about her top three Australian restaurant experiences of the past year, as well as her favourite dining spots in Auckland.

Kylie Kwong is the undisputed queen of modern Australian Chinese cooking and has changed our perception of native ingredients. She is a household name with her much-loved restaurant Billy Kwong in Sydney's Potts Point, and a regular on our TV screens- from Masterchef to her own shows exploring China and Australian producers. But on our journey to her favourite weekend hang, we discovered another side to this inspiring chef: her focused and spiritual approach towards life and cooking, how she copes with the daily stresses of being a chef, why she is a one-restaurant woman and what her light bulb moment was a few years ago. Then we put Hollywood's “it chef” Louis Tikaram under the grill. The Mullumbimby boy earned his stripes at top Aussie restaurants Tetsuya's and Longrain before being hand-picked to open EP and LP in Los Angeles, and turning it into one of the city's hottest restaurants and rooftops. He spills the Hollywood food goss from where to get the best taco to being enlightened by vegan coffee.
A very special episode where we get a behind the scenes pass to quiz the all-star chef line up at the Cook for Syria fundraiser in Sydney on their favourite Syrian ingredient, which chef's food they could eat for the rest of their life, and who is really the boss of the kitchen when ten of Australia's best head chefs are behind the burners at once. Established in the UK in 2016 by Instagram sensation @clerkenwellboyec1 and Serena Guen of Suitcase magazine, Cook for Syria has become a global movement and now a best selling cook book. After getting the biggest names in British cooking on board in London, including Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson and Fergus Henderson, Cook for Syria made it's way to Australia with an equally stellar line up including Peter Gilmore (Quay and Bennelong), David Thompson, Kylie Kwong, Ross Lusted (The Bridge Room), Paul Carmichael (Momofuku Seiobo), the Three Blue Ducks and young guns Clayton Wells (Automata), Luke Powell (LP's Quality Meats), Mitch Orr (Acme) and Mat Lindsay (Ester), as well as Syrian chefs the Saloums from Almond Bar. We go behind the scenes with these amazing chefs and grill them as they plate up ten extraordinary dishes together.
