    56: Cooking Oil: Fact from Fiction

    16/06/2026 | 27 mins.
    There is so much misinformation on the Interweb that leaves most people with no idea what oil is best to use in cooking. This podcast episode is about taking the confusion out of oils. One of the biggest bits misleading nutritional information that I have seen in my time is how good coconut oil is for you. Take a listen and get informed about what oils are best to have in your kitchen. If you don’t eat any oils then you do still want to be eating foods that contain fat and this is why ……

    54: The Words We Cook With

    03/06/2026 | 19 mins.
    Last week I held a free online class and we all made a delectable snickers bar recipe which you can still catch the recording for, at time of recording this podcast, but I made a big boo boo, which caused a stir over on Instagram.
    This has prompted me make a public apology and to talk about appropriate kitchen terms and also talk about some fun witchy ingredients that we use in the kitchen, quite often in fact.
    In this podcast I talk about: 
    How I unintentionally used a racist term in the title of my recipe 
    Look at terms used in the kitchen that have changed names 
    Look at some Australian ingredients and introduce you to their indigenous names 
    Explore some witchy ingredients 
    And share a fabulous recipe and fun cooking tip.
