When I interviewed Melissa Leong it was before the MasterChef announcement. Back then, I was excited about her upcoming Netflix fame. 
There was so much to chat about with Melissa aka @fooderti on Instagram. The zig-zag of her career, two years living in Tasmania on a self-imposed sabbatical, writing cookbooks and hosting and judging on The Chefs’ Line on SBS and now, Netflix.
In this episode Melissa talks about the role of food in her Singaporean-Australian upbringing. We chat about the role of SBS in Australia, diversity and representation on the small screen. I also shamelessly crush on Melissa’s style.

Her life changing experience living on a Greek Island, her wanderlust and her entree to the world of magazines (it was a shop assistant in Agnes B who told she looked like the kind of person who should work in magazines) and her experience with Instagram. She also shares a Helmut Newton anecdote.
Yolanda is a woman of many Instagram accounts. Find her @YolandaEdwards, her house in France @maisonmedoc and of course, @yolo.journal.

But in this interview we chat about All The Greys on Greene Street - Laura’s YA fiction debut. The book takes place in New York City in 1981 and our 12-year-old hero Olympia is struggling with a mother who won’t get out of bed, a father who has gone missing and there’s an art mystery afoot. 
Laura talks about that particular moment in SoHo history, kids roaming the city and the writer’s life Laura has created for herself.  Find Laura on Instagram and buy her book from your fave indie bookseller.
