All The Things - Essential Nourishment of a Particular Kind

Gillian Bell, best self-described as an ordinary person who does an extraordinary thing. To me, she’s like Mary Poppins meets Like Water For Chocolate. Imagine baking people's love story into cakes. That's Gillian. She's like a balm for the modern age.

Matilda Brown is best known for her work as a writer, director and actress, and most recently as a co-author of A Good Farm Cookbook, along with her husband Scott Gooding. You may also have heard of her parents once or twice before. She's a hoot and this conversation is proof!

Mandy Hall is best known for her role in the Masterchef kitchen in 2019, and since, has gone on to become a magazine food editor, food judge and educator, and most recently campaign director for End Food Waste Australia. She also makes a damn fine kimchi. You'll want to hear about that!

To quote Pia Miranda's Instagram self descriptor, she is One time Sole Survivor, Sometime actor, Former Josie, In the kitchen mostly, Ambassador for kindness. She is also hilarious. That last bit was me.

Niki Webster is the creator of one of my absolute favourite food blogs, Rebel Recipes. Talk about a success story! And we did talk about that, along with how the vegan landscape has changed over the years, cooking vats of dahl and why beans on toast will always be her favourite thing. 

Alison Luff is an American singer and stage actress. She is best known for her extensive work in musical theatre, notably for her Broadway roles as Fantine in Les Misérables, Elphaba in Wicked, and Jenna in Waitress. She has just wrapped starring in The Who’s Tommy in New York, beginning the show just 4 weeks after becoming a Mum for the first time. Clearly a fantastic juggler in her spare time too!
