Angelica Iuliano (Group Pastry Chef, MoVida) - a passion for pastry

Angelica Iuliano is the Group Pastry Chef at Melbourne’s three MoVida restaurants. We talk about pushing yourself via competitions, how to find your way in new kitchens, and the fallout when restaurants don’t have a dedicated pastry chef. I also share my honey cake shame and swoon over quince tarte tatin. https://www.movida.com.au/ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

How do small business owners think about time? It’s something Kirstyn Tate, owner of Small Axe Kitchen has considered a lot. We chat to her as the business celebrates 8 years in Melbourne’s cafe-clogged suburb of Brunswick. How much time do you spend looking at competitors? How do you decide what to say no to? And why should you start the day with her breakfast pasta? http://www.smallaxekitchen.com/ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

Welcome to the third collaboration between Deep in the Weeds’ Producers podcast and AgriCultured, a festival which showcases and connects the produce and people of northern Tasmania, or Lutruwita as it’s called in Aboriginal culture. This is a special part of the world, with beautiful, fertile lands, true seasons, and rich traditions.  Today, we meet Wouter Sels from Seven Springs Farm. Wouter farms pretty, hilly country nestled in forest almost two hours west of Launceston. Born into a Belgian farming family, Wouter, his wife and their three young children live off-grid, feeding themselves and supplying the community and a select group of chefs with delicious and nutritious produce. Life is somewhat isolated, but it’s rich in connection. https://www.agricultured.com.au/ https://www.sevenspringsfarm.com.au/ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow The Producers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/ Host Dani Valent  https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Host Anthony Huckstep https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Executive Producer Rob Locke https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork The Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers..

From culinary school in Mexico, to a New York vegan fine diner, to a permaculture farm in Australia and then to Sydney’s Three Blue Ducks, Juan Carlos Negrete has had quite a journey.

As we head closer to competition time for the San Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Competition, we check in with one of the ten contestants, Kogwoussougo Ouedraogo.

She’s travelled the world learning, growing and developing her ambitions, and is now a chef for Melbourne River Cruises. We talk about taro, sharing culture, and the courage to pursue your dreams. https://www.sanpellegrinoyoungchefacademy.com/regional-finalists-2024/pacific SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram    https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en Follow Huck https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Deep in the Weeds is a food podcast hosted by Anthony Huckstep in conversation with chefs, food producers and members of the hospitality industry.

Welcome to the third collaboration between Deep in the Weeds’ Producers podcast and AgriCultured, a festival which showcases and connects the produce and people of northern Tasmania, or Lutruwita as it’s called in Aboriginal culture. This is a special part of the world, with beautiful, fertile lands, true seasons, and rich traditions. Many farmers are on generational properties but others - like today’s guest - are producer newbies.  Our first podcast in this series is with duck farmer Bec Rumble, from Lone Goose Farm in the Meander Valley. Like many small farmers in northern Tassie, she’s a corporate escapee from the ‘big island’, having moved from Melbourne with her husband Paul, and learning a lot about Muscovy ducks very, very quickly. Join us as we meet their ‘lone goose’ Gayle and hear a fascinating farming story. https://lonegoosefarm.com.au/ https://www.agricultured.com.au/ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow The Producers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/ Host Dani Valent  https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Host Anthony Huckstep https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Executive Producer Rob Locke https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork The Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers..

Gourmet Traveller recently held its annual restaurant awards. The Outstanding Contribution to Hospitality Award went to the Ayubi family, owners of 15-year-old Parwana in Adelaide. Parwana serves and celebrates the Afghan food of its founders, reframing Afghanistan as a place of bounty and welcome.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the achievements and recognition of Kristine Young, director of Bella Venezia restaurant on the Sunshine Coast. Kristine has taken out two major awards at the Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards, being named Champion in the Restaurant category as well as Champion Influential Woman. It’s timely to honour female leaders in the midst of conversations around toxic work culture. Kristine’s passion and purpose align at Bella Venezia: as a survivor of domestic violence, she brings much more than a love of food and wine into her business. Content warning: domestic violence. https://www.bellavenezia.com.au/ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

We’ve always talked about toxic work culture on Dirty Linen but unfortunately it’s a topic that doesn’t get old. Over the past week, the Sydney Morning Herald and Good Food have published a series of investigative articles about Swillhouse group, and I wrote an ancillary story about the endemic nature of sexual harassment in hospitality. We talk it all over with Katie Shortland, co-owner of RaRa Ramen in Sydney and a media lawyer in film & TV. Personal accountability is part of the change and that’s why Katie has started the #notonmyroster hashtag. https://www.rararamen.com.au/ We mentioned the positive duty that people have to proactively prevent sexual and gender-based harassment at work.  https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/safety-topic/hazards/sexual-and-gender-based-harassment Sex, Sleaze & Hospitality: stories from the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Good Food https://www.theage.com.au/national/nsw/sex-sleaze-and-hospitality-20240820-p5k3u8.html SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
