His novel “Portrait of Alice As a Young Man” was written as he navigated the enormity of impending parenthood whilst living in the centre of Australia. His practice has now shifted fully into the enormity of parenthood, and towards poetry (as a Dad, he now has less time).


He grew up being fed books, but “not in literary surroundings”. He read widely and found fascination in philosophy and theory. 


When pressed for advice he’d give his younger self, instead of clear answers and directions, his younger self was tenderly told… nothing. “You just have to go through it to know it.” Ender’s current self wouldn’t step in to play with fate, “I was feeling what I needed to feel”.


One clear gem of advice we eventually pulled from him was “Don’t ask for permission. Just do it.  Make your work in any way you can.”


The word that came up repeatedly throughout our chat was “collectivity”, which means everything to Ender. He comes from a collectivist culture and is striving to humbly create that -not only with and for his family, but his wider community. There is a myth in Turkey that “If there’s a writer in the family, it’s a bad thing - all the secrets will get out”. We aligned more with what his father’s Imam believes: “A poet is very important, because they write our world into being”.


Ender shared his recipe for Yayla Corbasi, a Turkish yogurt soup, once a childhood favourite of his, and now a favourite of his kids too.

On this episode we spoke with Merpire just before the release of her album Milk Pool, about discovering new meanings in her songs as they were being released and her journey as a fully independent artist. We also spoke about how misinformed the stereotype of the lazy musicians is, when often they’re working multiple jobs as well as making music.


Merpire shared her recipe for Mangocado salad - sure to impress at any potluck dinner!

Brooke Holiday's recipe is Salsa Verde, which we made right after the interview and served on our oven baked snapper!

We talked about the mixed bag of emotions that come with releasing music, the decisions she’s had to make to be uncompromising with her art and the nourishment that comes from growing her own food and sharing meals with her bandmates during rehearsals. 


The seven songs on Circle Walking are all tethered by being grounded in deep truth, and came out “a bit like an exhale - I almost always cried when I wrote them.” It was written over many years without any set intention, songs often blooming subconsciously from a seed of a lyric, or melody line - “I tended to let things reveal themselves to me. Like an archaeologist uncovering a hidden and delicate treasure.”


Annie-Rose's recipe is a garden pie, which is packed full of any veggies you have around, in crispy filo pastry.

She is the founder of Neptune, a research and documentation platform for dreams, visions, and hallucinations.


She is the author of Naag Mountain, published by Giramondo in April 2024. Naag Mountain was shortlisted for the Judith Wright Calanthe Award at the Queensland Literary Awards in 2024.


Manisha grew up in Suva, Fiji, surrounded by nature, food and books. She has a deep connection to storytelling and mysticism, which we explore in our chat. Living in Melbourne currently, maintaining that connection is something Manisha finds extremely important to do.


Talking about art and food, she says "...they make life worth living. Food is a physical necessity and art is the soul’s necessity, so you’re feeing your soul with art and you’re feeding your body with food and you just need both to enjoy this time on earth."


Manisha shares her Dhal recipe with us and explains that growing up she’d have it almost every day. It was the foundation for everything else she ate. She associates it with a comfortable and homely feeling.

He’s not quite artist, not quite cook, somewhere in between.


Fred and his creative collaborator Lauren Stephens are Long Prawn, a collective using food as a springboard to start conversations that traverse big ideas and observe parts of culture that have fallen out of focus. They have held various events and happenings over the past 8-10 years, working with chefs, artists, musicians and growers of food.


Growing up, the energy at the Mora family table was theatrical, warm and chaotic. Yum cha every weekend was a solid ritual and cheekiness was a core value for some family members. Fred’s grandmother, (treasured artist Mirka Mora) was apparently treacherous at the dinner table, especially when dining out. She would demand dessert first, then steak.


It makes sense then that Fred has pursued his own creative food interests. Tax Vinegar is a project he toiled away at for some time, with beginnings as curious experiments during one of Melbourne’s numerous pandemic lockdowns. He tells us that the breadth and depth that vinegar can add to your meal is huge - “it’s like turning the brightness up on your phone screen”.


Fred’s recipe is mayonnaise and you can hear our genuine excitement in the interview -  we were so delighted by this as we had seen the film ‘Monsieur Mayonnaise’ by Fred’s uncle years ago and loved it.


The film is the true story of Fred’s grandfather Georges during the French resistance. His spy name was Monsieur Mayonnaise, due to his rescuing and smuggling of children over borders using mayonnaise as his weapon. With artist Marcel Marceau, he discovered that if you could put enough mayonnaise on a baguette you would be able to hide documents in it and smuggle it past the gestapo. As the gestapo were fastidious about not getting their uniforms dirty, every time Georges passed a check point he was able to smuggle documents through. The trick was that there needed to be a certain amount of mayonnaise on the baguette - if you passed a certain threshold of it, the  guards wouldn’t bother to check it.

With artist Marcel Marceau, he discovered that if you could put enough mayonnaise on a baguette you would be able to hide documents in it and smuggle it past the gestapo. As the gestapo were fastidious about not getting their uniforms dirty, every time Georges passed a check point he was able to smuggle documents through. The trick was that there needed to be a certain amount of mayonnaise on the baguette - if you passed a certain threshold of it, the  guards wouldn’t bother to check it.

Jess’ upbringing in a small country town, steeped in the energy of Chinese restaurant kitchens, provided a unique backdrop for her artistic and culinary evolution. Her Hong Kong-born father found solace in these kitchens, where Cantonese was more than a language—it was a connection to his roots in a place far from home. This blend of cultures and cuisines laid the foundation for Jess's appreciation of diverse narratives and flavours.


During our chat, Jess challenges the stereotype of the starving artist, emphasising the richness of spirit that creative pursuits bring. In her own words, "We are communicators. We feed the soul of human beings." This ethos underscores her belief in the profound impact of art—be it a poignant song or a captivating painting—to inspire, provoke thought, and ignite new possibilities.


Her album ‘Summer of Love’, made during one of Victoria’s numerous lockdowns whilst staying solo at the Point Lonsdale Guesthouse is out now.

Yet, nestled within this intricate mosaic lies the story of Charlotte Alldis—a multifaceted creator, a fierce lover, and a loyal protector of those in her orbit. Meet the artist, maker, storyteller, and mum to Buster the bulldog, whose life's journey has been as colorful and captivating as the worlds she paints.


Childhood, for Charlotte, was a self made kaleidoscope of wonder and whimsy. Art wasn't the initial muse; instead, it was the enchanting realm of storytelling that captured her imagination. Raised by parents who were educators deeply immersed in the realms of play, writing, and literature, she was steeped in a culture of creativity from an early age.


The focus wasn’t fine art—it was playfulness, experimentation, and joy. As a child, Charlotte transformed mundane meals into fantastical feasts, crafting blue pancakes, purple pasta, and dyed vegetables with unabashed delight. Cooking wasn't about following recipes; it was about embracing the magic of the moment and relishing in the act of creation.

Going back, Libby’s childhood memories are saturated with the vibrant colours and textures of her grandparent’s vegetable garden and the comforting chaos of the family kitchen. These early experiences laid the foundation for a lifelong journey of artistic expression, culinary exploration, and a deep appreciation for the beauty and intensity found in everyday life.

She will take you on a poetic journey to explore the mythology behind Greek amulets, and then ground you with tales of the logistics behind making her dog Alfonso’s birthday cake. This suits us just fine.


Yes, Olivia is a jeweller, but she’s also devoted to food. For her, food is a connector and a nourishing, fortifying force. She finds meaning and satisfaction in the act of cooking for the people she loves and in the act of sharing food around a table. She favours simplicity in the kitchen for herself day by day, but will go all out when it comes to others.


We end our chat with laughs about a kitchen disaster story that she’s still not over, and Olivia’s admission that she’s “a sicko with butter” - she has been known to give people a cracker with so much butter on it that they’ve assumed it was cheese.

This powerhouse of a woman is a true slashie and we know that the list of titles will keep growing on a weekly, if not daily basis.


Tiphaine is the creative director of The Project Space, a creative arts facility in Apollo Bay, Creative Director of Floreo Creative Web + Design and co-director of Videokills, a video and performance art-based collaborative network and festival.


When starting The Project Space, Tiphaine's plan was to open an “everything space” for her community in rural Victoria. Her own feelings of isolation pushed her to create a space for creativity and possibility and open it up to others as a community resource. And that’s how we met Tiphaine, through her project “The Development Lab” where we were artists in residence in 2021.


Tiph’s latest addition to her creative practice is slinging luscious Belizean food from her food truck, Jungle Drifter. It’s fascinating how when you’re an adult, you often just want to share the things you loved when you were a kid. Jungle Drifter was the natural progression for Tiph, as she needed some breathing space from her other pursuits, but still wanted to be connected to her community.


Tiphaine shares it all with us, including her recipe for Belizean Fry Jacks, which is on our website.

Don't be offended, but you're probably making your humble cup of tea wrong. When we investigate the subtleties of tea making with Manchester born and raised Kayleigh, it gets heated pretty quick. She's from the North and she needs it strong. Whilst apparently no one wants to be "The Tea Master" in Britain (too much pressure to be the person making everyone's cuppa), they certainly have an opinion on how each one should be made. According to Kayleigh, it can get very political (depending on where you're from).


Something that struck us when we began unpacking the Starving Artist myth were the realities of being an artist in Australia in contrast to the UK. She's very aware of how the myth can be used to "other" people in conversations or interactions and finds it an awful way of devaluing someone who is a professional creative. We all agree that it can be an easy way to create a quick and unbalanced hierarchy where the artist is always at the bottom.

We discuss the elephant in the industry - the gender divide between representation and support of male artists and female / non binary artists.


When it comes to her favourite places in the city of Melbourne, the Preston Market is in her all time top five destinations. You already know how much we love the Preston Market, and it was wonderful to chat about specifics - Kayleigh loves chatting to her favourite butcher and asking for tips and recipe-specific cuts of meat. It's such a crucial community meeting place and we share a collective moment of respect and alarm at the current situation regarding the proposed destruction of the market.


Grab a meticulously made cup of tea and join us as Kayleigh shares her green mango and prawn salad, her kitchen super power and the most epic kitchen disaster story that it left us speechless...

We discuss the elephant in the industry - the gender divide between representation and support of male artists and female / non binary artists.


When it comes to her favourite places in the city of Melbourne, the Preston Market is in her all time top five destinations. You already know how much we love the Preston Market, and it was wonderful to chat about specifics - Kayleigh loves chatting to her favourite butcher and asking for tips and recipe-specific cuts of meat. It's such a crucial community meeting place and we share a collective moment of respect and alarm at the current situation regarding the proposed destruction of the market.


Grab a meticulously made cup of tea and join us as Kayleigh shares her green mango and prawn salad, her kitchen super power and the most epic kitchen disaster story that it left us speechless...

It wasn't just for growing food - she found in it endless creative inspiration. On family trips she would draw maps of her experiences, especially those connected to Nature.


After attending art school far from home and often finding herself living off beans, she and her partner once again found themselves drawn back to Yuin Land, where they live with their boys and where Lily has a home studio with extraordinary views of the bush. Throughout our chat, we discuss navigating career choices, food and nourishment, Mothering, day job-ing, covid lockdowns, bushfires, money and more.


She tells us how to tear watercolour paper perfectly and how her Mum Eve's "Granny Cake" has been with her almost weekly for her whole life.

He's definitely a musician and a lyricist, but in the past he wasn't sure if he could call himself a poet. For Giuls, it's the combo of putting poetry to music that's important to him. He feels that "there's a gravitas to the title of poet that doesn't fit..." but he seeks to redefine it. He's settled on being a reluctant, flippant and flamboyant poet.


If you know the band FERLA, you'll probably know FERLA PASSATA, the most wonderful band merch on God's green earth.


The romantic ideal of the suffering and 'Starving Artist" was something that Giuls was swept up in as a younger man. The idea that struggling was a rite of passage was part of his narrative, and he was warmed by the nostalgia. Whilst the romance for suffering for one's art has cooled, he still believes that as an artist "you need to sacrifice an element of security" to be able to commit to your craft.


For Giuls, cooking is nourishment for the soul and he is still so moved by the meals that sustained him as a young boy. Our chat with him was too short, as always, but we felt deeply nourished afterwards, and upon listening, we hope you do too.

She’s a mixed media artist who has been exhibiting for 40 years and has been a practising artist her entire life, whilst working in between. Fibre has been a big part of her work for a long time and  “even in my earlier paintings I would collage in a piece of jute or hessian or a bit of cloth as well, because for me, cloth holds a memory, it’s something that, when we’re born, we get snuggled into a piece of cloth and it comforts us…”. 


Lorna started making her own brushes after a residency in Venice with Allison B. Cooke, and then became known as “the brush maker”. The urge to make brushes goes back to her art school days, when she saw a documentary on Arthur Boyd’s work and processes. She was inspired by his huge canvases and that he was using his own handmade brushes - the splashing motions being particularly inspiring.


As her career progressed, Lorna found that artist residencies became increasingly crucial to her, with her preference being self funded residencies, where there is more freedom and autonomy.


If you take anything from our chat with Lorna, we hope it’s the inspiration to colour outside the lines and absolutely break the rules.

Whilst Yeo is pretty brilliant in the kitchen, as you’ll find as we go along, it’s music that captured him early on and remains his true love. Internationally recognised Yeo has been releasing music for over a decade, with his craft taking him across Australia and as far from home as Ecuador, the US, Canada and Singapore.


You’ll find throughout the interview that Yeo is big on DIY - in music and food. This man absolutely loves learning how to do new things and problem-solving. “My attitude is if it’s already broken, there’s no harm in breaking it further to try to make it try to work again”.


Yeo reminds us that being able to cook is a privilege, especially for those who are time poor and exhausted. He recommends the “Time to Eat” series by Nadiya Hussain on Netflix that features super quick recipes. As for his own recipes, we cannot WAIT to make his steamed fish dish and took particular note of his advice to be meticulous when you julienne the ginger and spring onions. 


Yeo’s kitchen superpower is a power that we at What Artists Eat would like a LOT more of and his kitchen disaster story is a romantic pyrotechnic drama for the ages.

Growing up, it was complicated.


From the start, it seemed for Leili that art, culture, identity and politics were related. Early memories of seeing a distinctive mural in Kings Cross about the AIDS crisis made a huge impression on them when they were young. Interestingly the mural had similarities to political graffiti in their ancestral home in Shiraz, Iran.

Growing up in red-light district ‘The Cross’ (Eora Sydney) with a mother who escaped from Iran during the Iran Iraq war, Leili found that they were living between two worlds. Like many children of the Iranian diaspora, they didn’t feel like they fit in at their white anglo school but also didn’t have a large Iranian community to connect with.


Listen out for Leili incriminating a family member’s ingenious knack for producing enormous Persian feasts in the blink of an eye. We find out their favourite artist is painter Iman Raad (who creates Iranian miniature style paintings that you can get deliciously lost in). Their favourite kitchen sound is completely original and their favourite smell is definitely not what we were expecting! For a kitchen disaster story that involves a dinner party and cat food, plus the best tip for taking the bite out of red onion you’ll have to tune in.

It is, however, pretty interesting that he derives just as much pleasure from ‘reading the history’ of the humble wooden spoon, as he does plunging it into an intuitively created curry that happens to be spicier than the deepest depths of hell.


Musician Nick Reid hasn’t been calling himself an artist for very long, despite being the drummer for the Australian indie-rock outfit Cousin Tony’s Brand New Firebird for over 5 years. It wasn’t until starting his solo project Kitsch Kitchen and diving deep into it thanks to the pandemic cancelling his band’s US South X SouthWest tour in 2020 that he began to really lean in.
