Tania Cammarano & Nongkrong Festival

Full episode: my Potluck segment with food historian Tania Cammarano begins partway through, following co-host Lucy's Nongkrong Festival segment.

For our Tips from the Kitchen segment, Lucy chats with Moira, one of the team behind the Nongkrong festival, about the way food is able to generate a rare and important form of hanging out, trying to figure out ways to lean into island time when you have a calendar stuffed with Google Meets, the ability to create dialogue between diaspora through cooking, and how congee can act as a form of mutual aid.

Then, for our Potluck segment, Lily speaks to Naarm-based food historian Tania Cammarano. We discussed all things coffee, pasta and Italian influence, as well as the culture of food and its lineage.
