Culinary experiences in Melbourne are always broader than what is on the plate. 

We’ve delved into the history of the humble corner milk bar, traced the evolution of Melbourne’s famed Italian food scene, chatted to the owners of Australia’s only dedicated bookstore for cookbooks, taste-tested our way around the globe via oil and drunk absinthe with Oscar Wilde. We’ve eaten traditional Nonna-style pesto fettuccine alongside a very untraditional vegetarian take on the bánh mì. We’ve chatted to Katja about her love of German baking and to food photographer extraordinaire Jacs Powell about the best way to Insta your meal.
