Huey is one of Australia’s most iconic TV chefs (hello, food-themed braces) and he is BACK! We loved watching him on school sick-days, so we lost our minds when we actually got to talk to the great man himself! We chatted about wiping the plate with a tea towel, his fave anchovies and evidently… being in a band!?  Follow Huey on TikTok: @huey_on_tiktok Ingredipedia Bites is our interview series with our favourite chefs, cooks and foodie-friends.

Rant incoming! Em has something to say to those who eat still-frozen peas. Ben turns into a chip maestro creating the perfect pie floater snack and also delves into the depths of his freezer.

Ever wondered why we can’t watch a movie without drastically overpriced buttered popcorn? Or what INSANELY GOOD topping you should be sprinkling on top?

This is a meaty one. Em faces her fear of cooking lamb by buying a mysterious piece of meat and doing a little cooking therapy session (content warning for anyone who’s a little bit meat-squeamish) while Ben for some reason puts sandwiches in a food processor. It’s weird, it’s wild, but don’t worry, there’s a genuinely beautiful Italian dessert piled in here somewhere too.  [1:14] Em's hectic lamb meat extravaganza[10:17] Why Maccas' doesn't do lamb[16:47] Cute Sicilian marzipan lambs[22:21] Ben's sandwich pieFollow us on Instagram (@ingredipedia) and TikTok (@ingredipedia) to see visuals of our weird and snacky food pursuits.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Melbourne makes the greatest donuts in the world – but how did it all begin and why does nowhere else in the world make them? In the final episode of our DEEP FRIED DEEP DIVE, we also look into some nostalgic donut experiences (looking at you Smorgy’s) and ask some philosophical and holy (ok hole-y) questions about what makes a doughnut a doughnut? 🤯 [01:13] Melbourne’s hot jam doughnut claim to fame [08:33] Cinnamon donuts & why do they have holes?

We commit some heinous crimes against Pringles in this episode and we will not apologise! We also speak to Australian royalty: the alien from Smith’s chip ads in the ‘80s and ‘90s (you know, “CHIPPIES!”). Ben and Em also taste some unusually flavoured chips (including a little ‘duck tongue’ number) and make some delicious chips using 1980s technology.  This episode is part of Ingredipedia’s Deep Fried Deep Dive.

Dimmies! Truly the highlight of any fish and/or chip experience (also just a highlight of life). We investigate the truly iconic origin story of these mysterious morsels and trial a new method of cooking them. We also investigate which Australian suburb is lobbying to be the home of The Big Dim Sim.  This episode is part of Ingredipedia’s Deep Fried Deep Dive.

What is the weirdest thing you’ve ordered from a fish and chip shop? Trust me, what we try in this episode is stranger: straight-up unhinged… and delicious!  This is the first episode of our Deep Fried Deep Dive, a weekly series where we explore Australia’s favourite deep-fried foods. We’re starting at the fish and chip shop, and in this episode you’ll learn why ‘minimum chips’ is a big lie, the connection between potato scallops and actual scallops, plus a whole heap of other crunchy facts and funny stories (including an embarrassing potato cake admission).  Ingredipedia’s Deep Fried Deep Dive will be released weekly over the next month.

Hot Cross Bun season is the most blessed time of the year.
