Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent

There's a huge Sri Lankan community in Australia but the breadth and possibilities of Sri Lankan food aren't always part of the culinary conversation. We talk to Nerissa Jayasingha about Lankan Tucker, her Sri Lankan-skewed cafe in Brunswick West. How are hoppers and kottu roti melded with Aussie brunch to create an appealing cafe menu? What does lasagne have to do with anything? And pricing! We talk about the challenges of putting the correct value on a cuisine that's often perceived as a cheap feed.

What's it like becoming head chef of an iconic restaurant? We chat to Trisha Greentree, head chef at Sydney's Fratelli Paradiso, a beloved Italian institution that is owned as much by its regulars as its proprietors. We talk about energy, emotional intelligence, self care and balancing a life outside of the kitchen - especially as a mother - with work in hospitality.

The Producers Podcast visited Holy Goat's Ann-Marie Monda and Carla Meurs in 2021. We sat on the deck at Sutton Grange Farm with their kelpie and a pot of tea, talking about ethics, pathways and - of course - cheese. Like every meeting with these two, it was a conversation with impact, provoking consideration of life choices, connection and commitment. To commemorate, the announcement of Holy Goat's cessation, we re-share this episode.

Since 1999, Ann-Marie Monda and Carla Meurs have been nurturing, creating and crafting at Sutton Grange Farm on Dja Dja Wurrung Country near Castlemaine in Victoria. The goats they milk to make their revered farmhouse cheese are central to the rhythm of their days.

If farmers don't grow food, we don't get to eat, but what happens if climate change makes farming too hard? Chloe Fox's Somerset Heritage Farm has just been flooded for the second time in 15 months and she's lost more than $200,000 worth of peak summer produce. We talk about the impacts on her farm and others in her part of Victoria and beyond, and the attitude that's pushing her to once again rebuild and replant.

New year, new chats! We kick off 2024 with publican Sally Wright, the creative and dynamic force behind the Stanley Pub in Victoria's High Country. How did Sally get into food in the first place - kind of by accident - and how does she create a space of welcome and sustenance for locals and tourists in a pretty farming town? Also, why does she write 'ed-a-mam-ay' on her menu?

You never know when your life is about to change in a big way. We sit down with Craig Johnson to talk about the turning point that set him on the path to Loch Brewery & Distillery, the boutique drinks business he runs in a pretty South Gippsland town. It's a cellar door, factory and emporium but it's also an ad for following your passions so you're not left asking "What if..."
