"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.

France Soir and Hector's Deli are venues that Melburnians hold dear. The former is a late-night dining institution that has served the city for 38 years and welcomed the likes of The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen through its doors. Many of our milestones have been celebrated over France Soir's creme brûlée or a dip into their renowned wine list. Hector's Deli is a more recent star of the lunchtime scene, dishing up some of Melbourne's best sandwiches. Dom Wilton, chef and owner, believes both establishments have the shared ethos of “perfecting simplicity”.

In this episode, Dom is joined by Jean Paul Prunetti, co-founder and owner of France Soir, to chat about the legacy of his French institution, the future of both businesses, and how to achieve longevity in the hospitality game.
