The Food For Everyone Radio Hour

Food For Everyone

Food is our favourite way to get to know people. Every week, Gemma Leslie and Haylee Evans sit down with people they're curious about to talk school lunchboxes, controversial hot takes, unforgettable meals and, inevitably, what's for dinner. It's equal parts creativity, culture and chaos (but mostly chaos). Take a seat, and tuck in.

    6. Victoria Zschommler - Dry Weet-Bix, working with Chanel and a beetroot soup with Tilda Swinton.

    Our guest today is Victoria Zschommler, a still-life, fashion and beauty photographer, who has shot for Dior, Chanel, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Bulgari, and Burberry (just to name drop a few). She has spent a significant part of her incredible career working abroad, but now resides in Northern NSW with her young family.In today's episode, we chat with Vic about growing up by the steel benchtops of her father's Brisbane restaurant in the 90s, her favourite German dishes, working in high-fashion photography in Paris (Um, hello, Chanel?!) and how she developed her distinct creative eye, plus her newfound love for rockpools.Victoria also shares her thoughts on juggling family life with a creative career, sharing her notes on motherhood and how to find balance, especially when you work for yourself. Vic's message is that parenting isn't a one-size-fits-all scenario—forging your own path that's true to you is what it's all about. Oh, and remembering to be nice to yourself. Always.

    5. Darcy Vescio - Banana Big M’s, making rugs and a salami day at Ikon Park.

    Today’s episode is with Aussie rules legend and artist, Darcy Vescio. Darcy is best known for their incredible AFLW career as a two-time All-Australian, two-time AFLW Leading Goalkicker and Carlton Football Club Best and Fairest winner. Off the footy oval, Darcy is an artist, creating work across a range of mediums including painting, textiles, illustration and design. We chat about growing up in rural Victoria, the importance of a good footy canteen (and, of course, Darcy’s snack of choice), and why approaching your art practice like you’re training for sport might actually be the way to go. If you’ve got a little Troy Bolton in you and can’t choose between sport and art, this episode is a reminder that maybe you don’t have to choose at all.Show Notes Darcy's Website The Food For Everyone Radio Hour is hosted and edited by ⁠Gemma Leslie⁠ and ⁠Haylee Evans⁠ with special mention to Jana Kontogiannis.

    4. Ngọc Trần - Footscray tours, mushroom calamari and a dinner date with Connor Storrie.

    Our guest today is Ngọc Trần, the driving force behind Shop Bao Ngoc, a small Vietnamese eatery in Brunswick that operates as much as a community space as it does a restaurant. In today’s episode, you’ll hear about Ngọc’s experience growing up in the commission flats of Footscray, learning to fillet fish from the age of five (!!), and what her Vietnamese heritage means to her today. We talk about the humble beginnings of Shop Bao Ngoc, where the shop is at now, and, of course, our good friend Anthony Bourdain — who we’re sure would have been a huge fan of her restaurant (and best friends with her grandma!) Follow Ngoc and Shop Bao Ngoc on their socials here.

    1. Sofia Levin - Family rituals, surrealist cookbooks and the art of finding hidden gems.

    If sunshine took human form, it would look a lot like Sofia Levin. She’s a journalist, food critic, travel writer and MasterChef judge. Sofia also has an incredible website called "Seasoned Traveller" and a newsletter "Eat Curiously" where she shares lesser known food stories. Her motto, #EatCuriously, encourages people to step outside of their culinary comforts to learn more about others and themselves. She’s a total gem. And there was possibly no better person to help put FFE Radio Hour on the air with our debut episode! We spoke about Sofia's love of finding the weird and wonderful places to score a feed (and how she delves into the national census data to do so), her ongoing family rituals, and a few of her favourite "sexy weirdos". Bon appétit! If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.
