Episode 89: Dr Carody Culver on Griffith Review 78: “A Matter of Taste”

Nicole talks to the new editor of Griffith Review, Dr Carody Culver about Griffith Review 78,  A Matter of Taste, which provides a feast of essays, memoir, reportage and fiction about what we eat and why. They discuss brilliant pieces by food writer Kate Gibbs (grand-daughter of Margaret Fulton) on the joys and future of cookbooks, historian Yves Rees on the milk wars and their origin, writer Laura Elvery on what happens when a food name is no longer appropriate and the backlash a name change can provoke (think Coon cheese) and the passion of Nornie Bero, First Nations owner of renowned Melbourne Mabu Mabu restaurant , for native produce and how it can connect us to our land.
