"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.

Every other Tuesday, Broadsheet Sydney: Around Town offers a quiet conversation with someone shaping the city's character. This isn't about headlines or trends, but the people behind the places and ideas that define daily life here. You might hear from a chef who quietly reimagined a neighborhood's dining scene, or an artist whose work changes how we see a familiar street. The discussion could just as easily turn to the craft of a local distiller or the vision of a small shop owner whose taste influences what we wear. Hosted by Broadsheet, each episode is a deliberate look at the intersections of food, art, fashion, and society, revealing how creative minds build the culture we experience. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair at a corner table with the most interesting person in the room-the stories are specific, the impact is tangible, and the focus is always on the human element driving Sydney forward. It’s for anyone curious about the why and the who behind the city's vibrant surface.
