This week on Breakfasters, we get a quick lesson in what sort of questions NOT to ask the trio (and people in general, really). Food Interlude is back, and food critic Larissa Dubecki is in the studio to talk about Feb Fast, the silliness of mocktails and the best alcohol-free beer around. Former Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner has produced his second fiction novel, "Comeback", and shares his thoughts on crime as a genre, property developers and the diversity of people living in the inner-city. It's time for Feature Creature, and Simon Hinkley talk about the different ways insects defend themselves, from the classic 'roll over and play dead' to the classy fecal parasol. As the former Race Discrimination Commissioner, Tim Soutphommasane experienced a lot of uncomfortable and nasty things in his everyday life, and he visits the Breakfasters to talk about his new Melbourne Uni publication "On Hate". A new segment is born, and Sarah is the first one to bring something for 'Show and Tell'. Listen in to find out what!
If there’s one thing that can rival Stephanie Alexander’s enthusiasm for food and cooking, it’s her delight in good conversation. In fact, conversation has been front and centre in choosing recipes for her book, The Cook’s Table. ‘I want to be away from the table as little as possible, so I have kept last minute stovetop cooking to a minimum,’ Alexander has said. ‘I don’t want to miss the best stories. I am hungry for the latest news and opinions.’ The Cook’s Table is an especially personal collection of recipes and reflections, with Alexander revisiting memorable meals from her own life and travels in each chapter. There’s plenty there to draw from; over the course of 50 years, Alexander’s career has seen her open several celebrated restaurants as owner-chef, write 14 books including the modern-day cooking bible The Cook’s Companion and launch the pioneering Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, which has seen food education take off in school gardens across Australia. In conversation with writer and food critic Larissa Dubecki, Alexander talks about her food, foundation and five-decade career. Books and Ideas at Montalto series sound design and music: Jon Tjhia.
