Bill Granger was arguably most influential pioneer of modern Australian food. His "sunny" (his word, not mine) codification of Australian cafe culture at bills is the model on which every Australian cafe around the world is now built. Bloody great guy, too. Vale, Bill.

@kellie_scott If you’re not already across this, @thetokyochapter on Instagram and thetokyochapter.com has great tips about travelling to Japan with kids

We've made several new additions to @Eater's Melbourne map, including Big Esso, Aru and Chae. It's all here: eater.com/maps/best-melb…

Every food brand that says their product contains "no nasties" should be forced to specify what exactly it is they think is nasty and why.

Levelled up my cassoulet-making skills thanks to Sylvie Bigar and Guillaume Brahimi, who generously shared their tips with @SBSFood: sbs.com.au/food/article/2…

Submissions are still open for our 2nd 'New Voices On Food' book! We're looking for new art & writing on food by new/emerging Australian talent from Indigenous, LGBTQ+, culturally & linguistically diverse or other under-represented backgrounds. Our deadline is July 18, 2022!⁣

I wrote a thing about umami and I’m already getting messages from people around the world angrily telling me umami doesn’t exist. Yes, there is - bizarrely and against all logic - a surprisingly vocal “umami truther” discourse. theguardian.com/food/2022/jun/…

@yodaberg I second Papirica in Collingwood (though they're on holidays until 10 June). Hibiki Kuro (the cafe Hibiki, but at night) in Camberwell does a great Tampopo-style omurice as well.

This is one of the most exciting/interesting restaurants in Melbourne right now. sbs.com.au/food/article/2… via @SBSFood

Native grains have been growing in Australia for at least 36,000 years, so why is the industry only kicking off now? In the new ep of Bad Taste, @thatjessho visits Bruce Pascoe's farm & speaks with Jacob Birch about the future of native grains. #BadTaste sbs.com.au/language/engli…

What do the foods you eat say about who you are? Well on #BadTaste a *new* @SBSRadio podcast the ever-inquisitive @thatjessho will take you into kitchens, farms and supermarkets to figure that out. Trailer's out today, listen & subscribe: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bad… @SBS @SBSFood

Sarah Leung from Alg Seaweed talked to me about cola chicken, one of the few dishes she'd eat as a child. It's on @SBSFood, and she shared the recipe with us: sbs.com.au/food/article/2…

There’s so much great food coming out of North Melbourne lately, including Udom House. My article on @SBSFood: sbs.com.au/food/article/2…

@adamliaw Looks weird, but it’s the absolute best! My toddler stay at the table way longer in this because she’s comfortable.

I question whether the person who designed this type of high chair has ever seen a child or even understands how knees work in humans.

It's a fact, you can also call yourself Melburnian after you've eaten here. sbs.com.au/food/article/2… via @SBSFood

I interviewed two refugees detained in Melbourne's Park Hotel for this @Broadsheet_Melb article. @mohammedJoy73 is one. The way Australia treats refugees diminishes us all. Onya Broadsheet for shining a light on this. I donated my fee to @refugeevoicesau broadsheet.com.au/feature/park-h…

If you’re learning French, my @SBSFRENCH colleagues have created this great podcast, SBS Easy French. It’s a slowed-down, simpler version of our French programs. Perfect for learners who already know the language a bit: sbs.com.au/language/engli…
