Exploring culture through food. Each week we serve up a new dish or ingredient, uncovering the rich layers of stories, traditions, and innovations behind it. From the origins and cultural significance to the science and economics of food, we explore how what we eat shapes and is shaped by our world. From humble street food to gourmet delicacies, discover the fascinating narratives that make every bite a story worth telling.
Fufu for beginners — The rise of African food in Australia
Food is a great unifier. It brings us together as a multicultural community (who doesn't love a good feed?) and it can foster a deeper connection to our own heritage. Right now, the many and varied cuisines of Africa are on the rise in Australia. Through recipes and ingredients passed hand to hand and heart to heart, more African flavours and dishes are finding their way out of the home and onto restaurant menus, festival stalls and your social media feed, gaining new fans every day.
Guests:
Fatma Mohamed, director of the Africultures Festival
Nathaniel Ola-Roberts, Krio Descendants Union food stallholder
Mary Akindele, owner and operator of Mary's
Santilla Chingaipe, writer, historian and presenter of the documentary series Tastes of Africa
Kauthar Abdulalim, filmmaker, creator and producer of Tastes of Africa

How a kid from Newcastle made Michelin history
You'd be hard-pressed to find an Australian-born chef as successful as Brett Graham. His London restaurant, The Ledbury, is ranked among the best in the UK, and he is the first Australian chef and restaurant owner to be awarded three Michelin stars. Since his childhood in rural New South Wales, Brett Graham has seized every opportunity to learn, grow and impress as a chef. Now, he's gone back to his roots and added "farmer" to his list of achievements. So why, for all this praise and success, does Brett Graham say that business has never been tougher?
Guest:
Brett Graham, Australian-born chef and owner of The Ledbury and The Harwood Arms in London, and founder of Capability Graham
