Bill Granger was arguably most influential pioneer of modern Australian food. His "sunny" (his word, not mine) codification of Australian cafe culture at bills is the model on which every Australian cafe around the world is now built.
Bloody great guy, too.
Vale, Bill.
Did he invent avocado toast? My socially distanced discussion with the one and only Bill Granger in the Joan Sutherland Theatre at @SydOperaHouse is streaming right now: sydneyoperahouse.com/digital…

I wrote a thing about umami and I’m already getting messages from people around the world angrily telling me umami doesn’t exist. Yes, there is - bizarrely and against all logic - a surprisingly vocal “umami truther” discourse.

Native grains have been growing in Australia for at least 36,000 years, so why is the industry only kicking off now? In the new ep of Bad Taste, @thatjessho visits Bruce Pascoe's farm & speaks with Jacob Birch about the future of native grains. #BadTaste

Sarah Leung from Alg Seaweed talked to me about cola chicken, one of the few dishes she'd eat as a child. It's on @SBSFood, and she shared the recipe with us: sbs.com.au/food/article/2022…

I interviewed two refugees detained in Melbourne's Park Hotel for this @Broadsheet_Melb article. @mohammedJoy73 is one. The way Australia treats refugees diminishes us all. Onya Broadsheet for shining a light on this. I donated my fee to @refugeevoicesau broadsheet.com.au/feature/pa…
