"Find flavour in places you wouldn't realize and savour it."

Today, we're joined by one of Melbourne's favourite chefs, Ellie Bouhadana. As Head Chef at Collingwood's Hope St Radio, Ellie dishes up an ever-evolving menu that reflects a wholesome, neighbourly vibe– with souped-up snacks, fresh pastas, and familiar flavours. Now, Ellie has written her first cookbook, which is out next month. It's called Ellie's Table. It's part journal, part advice column, and part recipe book. There's a whole chapter on her famous oily focaccia, the one she makes by hand every single day at Hope Street, and the one she delivered during Melbourne's lockdowns.

It also contains stories about her family's influence on her cooking, including her dad's love of mandarins and her mother's halal bread. Ellie shares tips on how thick we should chop zucchinis, what she stocks in her pantry to make sure every meal is packed with flavour, and a recent meal she hosted with martinis and matzah balls.

Broadsheet Melbourne: Around Town is a biweekly culture podcast that dives deep into Australian food, entertainment, fashion, art and everything in between.

Each Tuesday, we sit down with a person making an impact on culture and the way we live. It could be the founder of a brand we use every day, a restaurateur who’s transformed how we dine, a filmmaker behind a series we can’t stop watching or a bartender shaking up a twist on a classic cocktail. 

On Thursdays, hear from a rotating cast of Broadsheet editors on openings and events in Melbourne; recommendations as asked for by you; and anything we haven’t been able to stop talking about in the office – all in less than 10 minutes.

Your short audio guide to the latest in food and culture around Melbourne.
