A tribute to Tony Coote

  • All YFM articles, Faces of Food

Turning off the Hume Highway, Jo and I found ourselves following cryptic instructions of how to find Tony’s driveway. Turn at the second railway crossing sign etc. It was about 8pm at night, pitch black with barely a street light in sight. We located wh... read more

Have we overcooked before we’ve begun?

  • All YFM articles, Faces of Food, Heaps Cooked

Sophie Lamond talks to us about what’s driving declining cooking rates amongst young people and the importance of keeping it simple in the kitchen. You may have seen our last piece about declining cooking rates or heard about our Heaps Cooked event seri... read more

Exploring the missing link between farm-to-plate with Ooooby

  • April 13, 2017
  • Zo Zhou
  • All YFM articles, Faces of Food

How does food really make it from the farm to your plate? What’s probably coming to mind is a giant Coles or Woolworths logo. But as much as they claim to be fresh, or about supporting Australian farmers, it’s becoming harder to ignore stories... read more

This young dude’s new app introduces locals through leftovers

  • March 11, 2017
  • Zo Zhou
  • All YFM articles, Faces of Food

When life hands you leftovers, make an app. At least, that’s what Rumman Islam did when he ran out of freezer space. His new app Foodski (download links for Android and iPhone) connects people who have too much food with people in their neighbour... read more

This neglected space now grows opportunities alongside its veggies

  • March 10, 2017
  • Zo Zhou
  • All YFM articles, Faces of Food

When we visited Green Connect‘s farm, I left with one of those big dumb grins on my face. The kind where you can feel every part of your body smiling too, and where you feel a strong, reassuring proudness to be human. Of course, the farm itself ... read more

Sustainable wine: a look beyond the label

  • March 7, 2017
  • Zo Zhou
  • All YFM articles, Faces of Food

When you think sustainable wine, Chile might not exactly come to mind. Which is why we were fascinated when we first met Alice L’Estrange of Cultivar Wines, who brings drinkers “far-out-and-naked wines” from Old World Chile, all with the a... read more

What are food ethics when you run a business?

  • February 24, 2017
  • Zo Zhou
  • All YFM articles, Faces of Food

Angela from Wandering Cooks doesn’t run your usual food business – instead she has created a world-leading space for purpose-driven small food businesses and change-makers to thrive. Our Brisbane team hosted its 2014 CropFest event in the bea... read more

Your weekend brunch could feed this Brisbane farm

  • February 23, 2017
  • Zo Zhou
  • All YFM articles, Faces of Food

Wouldn’t it be cool if your fave cafe fed a local farm too – but instead of serving up brunch, it fed its food scraps to the soil on the farm? Phil Garozzo has turned that dream into Not.Waste Farm. As part of their Farm to plate tour, our... read more

Now your Facebook feed can actually feed you (and your neighbours)

  • February 21, 2017
  • Zo Zhou
  • All YFM articles, Faces of Food

Sometimes simple solutions bring about so much more than you first expect. Take the Crop Swap concept for example – a growing number of local Facebook groups that facilitate sharing of excess veggies grown in people’s backyards or balconies.... read more
