TDF Talks With Cook + Author, Julia Busuttil Nishimura

Author: The Design Files September 20, 2018 Duration: 33:24

One of Melbourne’s most-loved foodies, Julia Busuttil Nishimura is a self-taught cook, recipe writer, and now, a best-selling author. Here, she shares how she's turned her passion for food into a super-successful career and her favourite spots for food shopping in Melbourne.

With a background in primary school teaching, Julia Busuttil Nishimura’s passion for food led her to start her food blog, Ostro, in 2013, with a focus on sharing beautiful, yet uncomplicated food, with simple ingredients. Julia caught the attention of a few publishers – and in 2017, her first book, entitled Ostro was released. It’s received accolades both here and abroad, with Jamie Oliver calling it ‘A Truly brilliant first book!’.

I caught up with her recently to talk all about her rise to foodie fame as well as book two, which is currently in-the-works – she had so much wisdom to share!!

Every other week, The Design Files Talks opens up a conversation that feels like pulling up a chair in a creative studio. Lucy Feagins, founder of Australia's long-running design platform, sits down with the country's most thoughtful makers, designers, and artists. These aren't just surface-level chats; they delve into the real, often messy, process behind creating a beautiful and considered life. You'll hear architects explain the emotional weight of a renovation, gardeners discuss the philosophy behind their plots, and furniture makers unpack the journey toward sustainable practice. It’s a podcast that connects the dots between aesthetics and everyday living, exploring how intention shapes our homes, our leisure, and our environment. The discussions are grounded, practical, and rich with the kind of insights that come from over a decade of deep engagement with the design community. For anyone curious about the stories behind the spaces we inhabit and the objects we live with, this series offers a genuine and inspiring listen.
