Pasta pals, this is for you! (Especially if you want to find out the ultimate pasta shapes for any kind of dish.) We chat to proud Italian-Australian pasta maker and devotee Jaclyn Crupi about pasta dough, shapes and of course, what lurks in her freezer (and yes, it’s also pasta related). She’s just written an incredibly inspiring book called Pasta Love, which is a love letter to pasta and those who make it. 

This episode is part of our Ingredipedia Bites rapid-fire interview series (basically a guise to snoop inside our favourite foodies' kitchens). Main ingredient-based eps are released every other week.

Weird and interesting food stories and facts.

Ingredipedia

Ingredipedia is a food fight podcast, but instead of burgers and pies, your hosts sling weird and interesting food stories. 



Each episode, Emily Naismith (frankie magazine, Broadsheet) and Ben Birchall (3RRR FM’s Breakfasters, Smith Journal) choose an ingredient (say, maple syrup or tofu) and battle it out over three rounds to see whose facts reign supreme. There are personal stories, extremely unscientific experiments, kitchen failures, rare triumphs and a whole lot of strange facts from the depths of the internet (an uncanny amount related to The Civil War). 



This is a podcast for anyone who loves eating food hosted by two friends who also love eating food. Oh and you get to vote who wins each episode on Instagram, so come and sit with us and pick your favourite (but don’t tell us to our face because we have fragile egos… or at least one of us does).



Our catchy theme music is by Jarrad Brown of Eagle & The Worm.
