Em's hectic lamb meat extravaganza

Why Maccas' Doesn't Do Lamb

Cute Sicilian Marzipan Lambs

Ben's sandwich pie

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.

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.

New Fave Icypole: Soupsicle

Best Before Date Conspiracy

Sorry in advance. But this episode is more disgusting than delicious. We bring up (almost literally) some 1950s to 1970s ‘recipes’ featuring tinned soup which should never see the light of day. But on the more positive side, Ben cracks a tinned soup conspiracy wide open!

Can lettuce ever be good hot?

‘Smokeshow Fire Jaffle’

How to make office s’mores

Cooking with fire at your table

Toasting marshmallows on company time? It’s possible. Ben unearths some relics from the past to cook ‘Smokeshow’ fire jaffles and rounds up the best fire-based restaurant experiences. Also, we get inspired by Lennox Hastie from Sydney’s Firedoor restaurant and try out one of his recipes. 

This flammable episode of Ingredipedia is sponsored by Vivid Fire Kitchen: a celebration of flame-seared street food running as part of Vivid Sydney from May 24 to June 15 at The Goods Line in the Sydney CBD. Diverse and delicious NSW produce will be cooked over flames by huge international chefs (Shalamar Lane, Jess Pryles, Niklas Ekstedt) and locals like (Lennox Hastie, Christine Manfield, Oscar Solomon, Mindy Woods and John McFadden). Wander around the flame lit night, the smell of charcoal and cooking in the air, and choose to feast from fire-cooked dishes from around the globe. Tandoor, teppanyaki, First Nations food, tender brisket, charred veggies, and aromatic satay to name a few. There will also be a bar available to wash down your meal with a glass of wine, beer or soft drink. Oh and it’s free entry!
