Running with Chef Santiago and his team at Mamé Cocoa as they prepare for a food event in Melbourne in July.
Spotlight on artist Craig Cole at Blender Studios. Among exploring some of his liminal works, I'm keen to cover some of Craigs philosophies, upbringing and of course, as a fellow son of the West - some killer tales.
Episode Three follows Miraz through the market and back to the stove, cooking his mum’s aloo bhorta while speaking openly about fear, pressure, and finding his footing as a young chef. A quiet study of food, identity, and learning to trust yourself before the industry asks you not to.
