Chef Anna Polyviou doesn't do anything by halves. In this episode of Straight To The Source, host Tawnya Bahr sits down with the bold, unapologetic pastry chef behind Anna's Mess, the dessert that captures exactly who she is. Anna opens up about her wild start as a hungover, almost-fired apprentice at Hotel Sofitel, and how a pastry competition (which she lost) changed the entire trajectory of her career. From there, she went on to win Best Apprentice in Victoria, train under Pierre Hermé in Paris, and build a career spanning international hotels, television, and global brand ambassadorships. This conversation covers it all: coming out as a lesbian in her Greek family, her mother's initial heartbreak over her moving overseas, the launch of her new Greek patisserie Polyviou, her time on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, DJing between dessert plating at F1 events, and why she believes discipline, not talent, is what actually gets you to the top. Honest, funny, and refreshingly real, Anna proves that success doesn't come from playing it safe.

What does it look like when fifth-generation farming meets modern food entrepreneurship? For Sue Heward of Singing Magpie Produce in Monash, South Australia, it looks like sun-dried Smyrna quinces, semi-dried black and white figs, vine-ripened Shiraz grapes dried on the vine, and artisan gift boxes that tell the full story of the Riverland. In this rich, grounded conversation recorded on the Heward family orchard, Tawnya Bahr sits down with Sue and her father Frank - a man who has farmed this property for over 60 years - to trace 105 years of family growing history, the birth of Sue’s business, Singing Magpie Produce nearly a decade ago, and the hard-won lessons of building a value-added food brand from the ground up.

The Smyrna sun-dried quince - made from her mother's recipe - won Champion at Sydney Royal Fine Foods in its first year The sticky quince syrup - A zero-waste product born from the poaching liquid; reduced for seven hours until it's sweet, tart and just on the edge of caramelised. Works with cheese, duck, lamb and dessert equally The full product range - From sun-dried mangoes to persimmons, jujubes from Black Sheep Produce in Loxton, locally sourced Medjool dates, and Solomon Gold vegan chocolate hand-tempered in the Riverland The spectacular diced fruit mix - Deliberately sultana-free; packed with black and white figs, peaches, pears, apricots and candied lemon (the very same lemon used in the quince cooking process, wasted by no one) Breast cancer and the business - Sue shares how a diagnosis at 50, followed by five months of chemotherapy, forced her to step back from the day-to-day - and accidentally prompted the team expansion and systems thinking that made the business stronger Tasting Australia 2026 - A marquee event for 50-60 guests on the quince orchard, in collaboration with Temperance Restaurant and Hotel Renmark, in 65mm of unexpected Riverland rain.

Food and style icon and MasterChef Australia's Melissa Leong is laying it all on the plate in Guts: A memoir of food, failure and taking impossible chances.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the brave and inspiring Julie Goodwin. Julie is a cook, author, radio and television presenter who all Australians came to know when she won the very first series of MasterChef Australia back in 2009. Since then she’s gone on to have an incredible career in the media, and has released multiple cook books with her delicious recipes, including some of the ones she created on MasterChef. Her latest book however, is a beautifully honest and brave memoir called Your Time Starts Now, which tells her story of a richly lived life. In this episode Julie is so open, honest and vulnerable and shares some of the most touching and difficult moments from her life. We hear about her struggles with mental health, the challenges she faced with an alcohol addiction, the lowest point in her life when she wanted to end it all and the incredible story of the kindness of strangers in that moment that literally saved her life. We also chat to Julie about her favourite moments from that very first series of MasterChef, the hilarious story of what happened when Julie was briefly let out from the MasterChef headquarters to attend her Nan’s 90th birthday, and what it felt like when she realised she’d won and her whole world changed overnight. Just like the richness of Julie’s life, this episode is beautifully deep and takes you on an emotional journey. We cover the highs and lows, there’s laughter and tears, it really has it all! We really hope you love Julie’s heart and honesty as much as we did.
