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 Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!

  The books that feed Australia

  Sep 11, 202629 min

  What makes a great Australian book? If your criteria include books that inspire, inform and instruct, then surely some of your flour-dusted, oil-stained cookbooks would be among the greatest. In this episode, we meet a woman who, during her 50 years in the Australian Women's Weekly Test Kitchen, witnessed several revolutions in Australian cookbook publishing, including the publication of The Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book. And we ask a food writer with a huge online following, 'Do cookbooks still matter?' You can vote in Radio National's Top 100 Australian Books countdown. Guests: Pamela Clark, former food editor at the Australian Women's Weekly, co-author of The Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book Julia Busuttil Nishimura, founder of the food website Ostro and author of several cookbooks, including Simple Pleasures Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!

  Keep it simple with Yotam Ottolenghi

  Sep 4, 202629 min

  Yotam Ottolenghi, the man who inspired a generation of cooks to seek out obscure ingredients and commit to hours of prep time, has a new mantra: embrace the shortcut. While he once believed the flavourful fruits of his kitchen labour were their own reward, Yotam says his primary concern these days is: 'Will someone actually cook this?' He preached this gospel in his 2018 cookbook Simple. But, he says, food and cooking have changed a lot since then. In Simple Too, he refines that approach. Guests: Yotam Ottolenghi , chef, restaurateur and co-author of Ottolenghi Simple Too Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!

  Trust your gut — How to feed your 'second brain'

  Aug 28, 202629 min

  Trillions of micro-organisms are living inside you right now. For the most part, these microbes are working for us, breaking down food and producing chemicals that keep us healthy. They also train our immune system, and scientists now wonder if they influence our mood and behaviour. So which foods keep us and our microbes healthy? We have had a 'gut feeling' about those foods for millennia, but today's mod cons may be standing between you and a healthy gut. Guests: Paul Froomes , gastroenterologist and author of Your Best Gut Teresa Cutter , chef, nutritionist, trainer and the author of several health-focused cookbooks Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!
