The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry | A Sydney Food Blog

New podcast: Kristen Allan of Cornersmith and Full Circle

July 9th, 2013  |  Published in Podcasts

Kristen Allan, cheesemaker

What’s it like to stage a dinner in the back lot of Opera Australia? Or throw a random soup party in a park and hope you don’t get busted? Kristen Allan would know, as these are some of the guerilla culinary events she’s organised with Full Circle (the team that also ran The Eat In pop-up restaurant in Chippendale earlier this year).

Kristen Allan, cheesemakerShe also teaches excellent cheesemaking workshops at Cornersmith, so she’s also an expert on ricotta, labne, and all things curds and whey – and in fact, can personally tell you what’s more unappealing than eating maggot-riddled cheese (you’ll be surprised by her answer!) or the lovely story behind the most expensive cheese she’s ever bought. Kristen also chats about her unusual career path into the world of food; her time at much-loved Italian restaurants Vini and Berta; and her involvement with Cornersmith’s newest establishment – a school and picklery opening in August.

About

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
