Ep 301 - From Hospitality to Household with Chelsea Ford: Ben Circosta on Turning Nonna’s Tradition into Bippi
<p>From a backyard tradition to one of Australia’s fastest-growing pantry brands, this is the story of Bippi.</p><p>In this episode, Chelsea Ford sits down with Ben Circosta, founder of Bippi Foods, to unpack how a brand built on family, flavour and fire scaled from a home kitchen into a nationally recognised name.</p><p>Launched at the start of COVID, Bippi was inspired by Ben’s Nonna Amelia and the Calabrian rituals of growing, preserving and sharing food. What began as a way to recreate that experience has evolved into a 16+ SKU range, now stocked across the country.</p><p>Ben shares how he identified a gap in the market through in-store research, validated the product through blind taste tests, and scaled production while keeping everything in-house, from de-stemming chillies by hand to hot-filling jars, to protect quality at every step.</p><p>We get into the realities of building a food brand today, sourcing locally and internationally, expanding a team across production, sales and marketing, and navigating retail from shelf placement to sell-through.</p><p>At its core, this is a conversation about consistency, customer trust, and building a brand people genuinely advocate for.</p><p><strong>Guest info:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.bippifoods.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bippifoods.com</a> / <a href="@https://www.instagram.com/bippi.foods?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bippi.foods</a></p><p><strong>Host info:</strong></p><p><a href="https://foodpreneursfestival.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">foodpreneursfestival.com</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/foodpreneursfestival/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@foodpreneursfestival</a></p><p><a href="https://chelseaford.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chelseaford.com</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chelsea.ford.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chelsea.ford.co</a></p><p><strong>Connect with POH:</strong></p><p><a href="https://principleofhospitality.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">principleofhospitality.com</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/principle_of_hospitality/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@principle_of_hospitality</a></p><p><strong>For Brand Strategy, Design & Creative Support:</strong></p><p><a href="https://principledesign.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">principledesign.com.au</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/principledesign/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@principledesign</a></p>

Ep 300 - From Hospitality to Household with Chelsea Ford: How Elizabeth Hewson Took Saturday Night Pasta from Kitchen to Shelf
<p>In this episode, Chelsea Ford sits down with Elizabeth Hewson, Australian food writer, cookbook author, and founder of Saturday Night Pasta, to unpack how a personal ritual turned into a nationally stocked product brand.</p><p>What began as a simple act of self-care, cooking pasta at the end of a long week, has evolved into a business now sitting in 400+ stores across Australia. Elizabeth shares how her “patchwork” career across restaurants, media and brand building has shaped a business grounded in comfort, quality and honesty.</p><p>We explore the realities of scaling from kitchen to shelf, from launching with limited-edition drops to building out a seven-SKU range, and partnering with distributors like Cartel & Co to rapidly expand from 50 to 200 stockists in just six months.</p><p>The conversation dives into what actually drives sell-through in retail, why brand and packaging matter, how margins and data access work with distributors, and the operational shift required to grow beyond a founder-led business. Elizabeth also reflects on the role of mentors, manufacturers and collaborators, including Archie Rose, and her commitment to Australian-made ingredients, transparency and taste.</p><p>A grounded look at what it takes to build a food brand that people come back to, again and again.</p><p><strong>Guest info:</strong></p><p><a href="https://saturdaynightpasta.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">saturdaynightpasta.com.au</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/saturdaynightpasta/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@saturdaynightpasta</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/elizabethhewson/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@elizabethhewson</a></p><p><strong>Host info:</strong></p><p><a href="https://foodpreneursfestival.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">foodpreneursfestival.com</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/foodpreneursfestival/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@foodpreneursfestival</a></p><p><a href="https://chelseaford.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chelseaford.com</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chelsea.ford.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chelsea.ford.co</a></p><p><strong>Connect with POH:</strong></p><p><a href="https://principleofhospitality.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">principleofhospitality.com</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/principle_of_hospitality/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@principle_of_hospitality</a></p><p><strong>For Brand Strategy, Design & Creative Support:</strong></p><p><a href="https://principledesign.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">principledesign.com.au</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/principledesign/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@principledesign</a></p>
