Ellie Bouhadana, Head Chef at Hope St Radio on Martinis and Matzah Balls, Pantry Staples and Her Dinner Party Tips
"Find flavour in places you wouldn't realize and savour it." Today, we're joined by one of Melbourne's favourite chefs, Ellie Bouhadana. As Head Chef at Collingwood's Hope St Radio, Ellie dishes up an ever-evolving menu that reflects a wholesome, neighbourly vibe– with souped-up snacks, fresh pastas, and familiar flavours. Now, Ellie has written her first cookbook, which is out next month. It's called Ellie's Table. It's part journal, part advice column, and part recipe book. There's a whole chapter on her famous oily focaccia, the one she makes by hand every single day at Hope Street, and the one she delivered during Melbourne's lockdowns. It also contains stories about her family's influence on her cooking, including her dad's love of mandarins and her mother's halal bread. Ellie shares tips on how thick we should chop zucchinis, what she stocks in her pantry to make sure every meal is packed with flavour, and a recent meal she hosted with martinis and matzah balls.

“I Didn’t Know How to Cook Then, but I Loved to Eat”: Chef-Restaurateur Junda Khoo on Kitchen Hacks, His Grandma’s Cooking and the Ho Jiak Philosophy
Today, we're chatting with Malaysian chef Junda Khoo, the restaurateur behind four Ho Jiak venues in Sydney. With a background in banking, Junda's path to professional cooking was unconventional. He credits his love of flavour to his grandmother, but he really learnt to cook as a teenager when he first moved to Sydney and was given $150 per week to spend on groceries. Today, Junda relishes the opportunity to challenge the meaning of 'authentic' Malaysian food and his cooking is guided by one simple principle: 'was it delicious?'.

"It Was Incredibly Daunting For Me"- Jacqui Challinor on Opening the Biggest Restaurant of 2023
Many are calling it the opening of the year. Magnificent, resplendent, palatial, ornate – no number of adjectives really do justice to the Nomad Group’s stately new restaurant Reine. The team has taken over the aptly named Cathedral Room inside the former Melbourne Stock Exchange, a neo-gothic building at the corner of Queen and Collins streets, completed in 1891. The opulent heritage space features vaulted ceilings, gothic arches, solid granite columns, mosaic floors, limestone walls, marble dado and stained glass windows. Executive chef Jacqui Challinor joins Around Town in the restaurant's opening weeks to discuss inspiration, her favourite menu items and where she thinks Reine will be in twelve months time.

One of Melbourne's Best Mexican Spots Finds a New Home in Brunswick East
Melbourne Central's CDMX only opened last September, but the venue quickly gained a reputation as one of Melbourne’s top Mexican eateries. CDMX is known for its birria taco – a grilled corn tortilla filled with birria-braised beef brisket, salsa, coriander, onion and melted cheese, and served with a birria consommé. (The long, gooey cheese pull when you bite in has also lured fans). Now, the fan-favourite has found a new home on Lygon street. Plus, the perfect spot for a maximalist staycay.
