On today's show we spoke to Karen Batson from Melbourne's iconic restaurant and bar Cookie. We chatted about how she discovered modern Thai cooking, the changing scene of Melbourne inner-city dining, and some of her favourite Thai ingredients.

We had a good chat to John at the Vic Market.

To finish the show we were joined by Simon Friend from Friend & Burrell. We spoke about his childhood in Gippsland, how he grew up with excellent food, and how he became committed to supplying "The World's Finest Foods".
