Ingredipedia Ben Birchall & Emily Naismith

We get sprinkling with DIY furikake made from Ingredipedia’s favourite fish and also blow our own minds with a dessert hack for the sweet-and-savoury fiends. There’s also a Maccas hack that will leave you questioning everything and also a big tip for a hidden and extremely delicious black-sesame snack that will change your life (no exaggeration).

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!

Ever freak out at the thought of ruining an expensive piece of meat? Or wondered why anyone would deep fry a smoked leg of ham? Same. We turned to meat expert and live fire cook Jess Pryles, who’s an Australian chef living in Texas, for the answers. 

Aside from being the oracle on all things meat and fire, Jess is the founder of both Hardcore Carnivore, a brand of meat seasonings and rubs, and the Australasian Barbecue Alliance. And she's coming to Australia for some live cooking demonstrations over fire as part of Vivid Fire Kitchen.

Is there a difference between Nutella made here and Nutella imported from Italy? Why did we lose our minds about Nutella doughnuts in 2015? Also, the great Nutella riots and Ben gets freaky with savoury biscuit pairings.
