In this era of meal-delivery apps, this week’s cover feature is a refreshing reminder that simple cooking is often best. Writer Sofia Levin interviews five of Melbourne’s tops chefs to extract their secrets to success in the kitchen – specifically, the techniques and approaches that can be replicated at home. This weekend, why not try whipping up a spaghetti el burro (pasta, butter, cooking water and cheese), the go-to dish of Tipo 00 co-owner Andreas Papadakis. And your rice will never be fluffier than if you follow the wisdom of our cover star Yosuke Hatanaka – artful sushi master of Neil Perry’s Sake. ●

FIRST PERSON
“ I am Dr Erich Fitzgerald ” … a palaeontologist & senior curator, Vertebrate Palaeontology at Museums Victoria An old family friend told me that they have a memory of me at the age of about four or five saying, “When I grow up, I’m going to be a palaeontologist. Do you know what that is?”. I’ve had a one-tracked mind ever since. When I finished secondary school, I wasn’t that interested initially in pursuing a science degree. So, looking at what had the most flexibility, I enrolled in an arts degree, but I ended up studying about 75 per cent science subjects. Those subjects really rekindled my childhood passion for fossils and evolution, so at the end of the year I switched to science and studied every subject I thought would lead to me having a good tilt at becoming a palaeontologist. It’s a notoriously difficult field to get into because it’s so competitive and there’s so few jobs. When I was at university, I started volunteering at Museums Victoria. I’d unpack the fossils that were sitting in rows and rows of cabinets in an underground vault. It was like being in an Aladdin’s Cave for me. I went to the US to do an 18-month postdoctoral at the Smithsonian Institution. I came back to Melbourne to do another temporary fellowship at Museums Victoria and from there was lucky enough to come on staff. Unfortunately, it’s not every day that we get to head out into the wild somewhere to do field work, digging up millions-of-years-old bones and teeth. A lot of it is answering emails, writing reports and checking student manuscripts. On average, three to six weeks of the year is spent out in the field. However, right now we’ve got a major project around the exploration and discovery of a top-secret fossil site right here in metropolitan Melbourne. It’s literally in the suburbs. I can’t reveal where it is, but I can give you a hint of what’s there. It’s a huge site where we’re finding the 5 million-year old fossils of gigantic sharks the size of a train carriage, ancient whales, sea birds that have fangs growing out of their beaks and wingspans as wide as a Toyota LandCruiser. We’re in the early stages, but it promises to be one of the most important urban fossil sites ever to be discovered in the world. ● ● museumsvictoria.com.au

Melbourne’s best chefs share tips to take home cooking from ho-hum to oh-yum.
While Andreas Papadakis appreciates the tradition of pasta making, he’s not a purist and limits himself to 20-minute recipes when cooking for the family. “I never make fresh pasta at home because there are some traditionally bronze-extruded pastas that you can get in Australia that are just amazing. My favourite is called Gentile … it takes 17 minutes to cook and it’s only semolina and water, no eggs or flour.” Spaghetti al burro is his go-to dish: nothing more than pasta, butter, cooking water and cheese. “In the past flatmates or partners would be like, ‘What are you eating, spaghetti and cheese? That sounds horrible!’ and then they would taste it,” Papadakis says. At home, he suggests pimping spaghetti with a little garlic, chilli, anchovy, broccolini, panko bread crumbs and olive oil to impress. If making pasta from scratch, the secret is dry dough. “When you think your pasta dough is too dry, it’s probably not dry enough,” Papadakis says. “You have to keep working it. It will be a massive pain in the arse to put it in the pasta roller, but when it goes through a couple of times, it works perfectly.”

The art of sushi runs in Yosuke Hatanaka’s DNA. Both his father and brother are sushi chefs, while he oversees all six Sake restaurants in the Rockpool Dining Group. But you don’t have to be a sushi master to make sushi. “It’s a very technical thing to master, but it’s an easy thing to get into,” he says. Quality fish is important and you’ll need wasabi, pickled ginger, rice vinegar seasoning and soy sauce. Japanese short grain rice makes a huge difference, while more expensive nori (seaweed) sheets are thicker and easier to work with. Use a rice cooker for an even finish, a sharp knife and bamboo sushi-rolling mat lined with cling film to avoid sticking. Prepare ahead but don’t use cold rice, which becomes hard instead of warm and fluffy. Fish should be body temperature to better taste the flavour, but the greatest sushi sin is to mix wasabi and soy. “You have to treat wasabi like mustard – take a little bit with your chopstick. No mixing and dunking, that’s just wrong,” Hatanaka says.
Andrew’s Hamburgers (below) turns 80 years old in November. Greg Pappas started working there under his uncle when he was 12, so he knows a thing or two about burgers. “It has to start with the basic, core ingredients, which are, of course, a great pattie and a great roll,” Pappas says. “Your pattie can’t be too lean because it will become too dry, but it can’t be too fatty because it will be too greasy, so you have to find the happy medium.” Get the butcher to specify the fat percentage. Around 15 per cent is the sweet spot. Cook it on a very hot plate, “but not too hot or the meat will burn”. As for buns, Pappas recommends using oldschool white hamburger buns.
Vietnamese people are surprised to find out Jerry Mai doesn’t use MSG in her pho. Others have admitted they prefer it to their mother’s. As for Mai, she judges pho on the broth’s depth of flavour. She says we have better produce than Vietnam, but if there’s one thing home cooks and professionals need aside from quality ingredients to make decent pho, it’s time. “A lot of broth is quick-finished with MSG. Instead of taking a long time using a large amount of bones, it’s cooked over a short time and the umami comes from MSG,” says Mai, whose restaurants cook their broth overnight on a low heat. Mai suggests using beef marrow bones and avoiding others with too much blood in them, like neck and back bones, which cloud the broth. Marrow bones from a western butcher are around $9 per kilogram, so visit an Asian butcher for pho bones at around $1.50 per kilogram. To keep stock clear, Mai blanches the bones to rid them of impurities, throwing out the water and starting the stock afresh.

Croissant queen Kate Reid doesn’t recommend making croissants at home. ”There’s a reason why everyone in Paris just goes to the boulangerie,” she says. “If you want to do it properly, you have to allocate three days on and off to make them.” For those who want to put in the time, it’s important to pick the right butter. Look for one that’s pale in colour without watery pockets, as water creates gaps in lamination. If you’d rather buy your croissant, look for those with a straight edge. In France, classic boulangers are allowed to shape their croissants in a straight line only when they’re made with pure butter. “I also look for a good golden colour,” Reid adds. “You see a lot of anaemic-looking croissants out there and that’s usually a sign they’ve been par-baked or frozen and finished off in the bakery.” In terms of input versus enjoyment, Reid thinks the best return on baking time is the humble scone. “Scones for me are the most underrated baked good … that gratification that you can get within one or two hours from setting out to eating, that’s something so special that baking gives us.” ●

A love letter to our bookstores Melbourne’s commitment to culture is keeping a tradition alive.

ELIANA SCHOULAL
hen I decided to open a bookshop, I rang my friend Bob Sessions – then publishing director at Penguin – to ask his advice. “Did you remember to take your pills this morning?” he said with a chuckle. When he realised I was serious, Bob urged caution, adding that bespoke indie bookstores were under threat by Amazon, Borders, Kindle and the like, and I should think carefully about this kind of hefty investment. It was May 2009, and over the next few weeks I talked to dozens of friendly advisors – booksellers included – about what to do. Most supported Bob’s premise that village bookstores were in for tough times. But the dream to create a family business that placed books at its heart just wouldn’t go away. A couple of years ago in an article for The Atlantic, award-winning American author Ann
“Figures tell us Melburnians consume more books, magazines and newspapers per capita than any other city in Australia.” Patchett recalled the heady days after she and her husband decided to invest in a bookshop in their local Nashville area. “When I look back on all this now, I’m dizzied by the blitheness that stood in place of any sort of business sense, like the grand gesture of walking over to the roulette table and betting it all on a single number,’’ Patchett wrote. Blitheness, crazy thinking, a dream to fulfil – whatever the nature of the fever, it also took hold of me. This month our little Hawksburn store celebrates its 10th birthday. In that time, Borders has closed, Kindle sales have plateaued, and more people tell us they are returning to book-as-object because they are concerned about the amount of time they spend each day on electronic devices. And although Amazon is still hanging around like a cocksure, wealthy old uncle at a family wedding, Melbourne’s independent bookstore culture remains intact. There have been plenty of hairy moments and night terrors in my life as a bookseller. While, sadly,
nine Melbourne bookshops have closed in the past two years, more than 170 continue to operate as community hubs for their book-loving customers. Am I naive to think our city’s fabulous book havens can weather the current financial storms and global retail disruptions? Possibly. But I am also a big believer in Melbourne’s commitment to culture. We love our galleries. We love a night at the theatre. We go to the ballet, we attend concerts, we book tickets to festivals ... and we read books. In 2008, Melbourne became the second official UNESCO City of Literature (there are now 28 Cities of Literature across six continents). As part of its bid, the Victorian Government was required to prove the city has a thriving literary culture. This wasn’t difficult. Australian Bureau of Statistics figures tell us Melburnians consume more books, magazines and newspapers per capita than any other city in Australia, we have the highest concentration of community book clubs in the country, and the State Library in Swanston Street
Wo r d s
(the oldest in Australia, founded in 1854) attracts more than 1.9 million visitors each year. We also have an extraordinary public asset in the Wheeler Centre, which offers Melburnians a chance to attend more than 180 (mostly free) literary and ideas-inspired events each year. Meanwhile, Melbourne’s bookshops each week play host to author talks, poetry readings, book clubs, story-time for pre-schoolers and writing classes. Places like Readings in Carlton, The Avenue Bookstore’s Albert Park headquarters, Bourke Street’s Hill of Content and Paperback Bookshop are cultural institutions and tourist magnets. And writers from around Australia and around the world love to include Melbourne on their publicity tours. They know our bookstores support with gusto the work they do and the art they create. Melbourne’s bookshop ecology is alive and well and operating in a suburb near you. It’s inclusive, it’s exciting, and it’s yours. Long may we celebrate together. ● Corrie Perkin is an award-winning journalist and former managing editor of The Age, and the owner of My Bookshop in Hawksburn.

K-based Australian-British author Kathy Lette returns to Melbourne next month with a new stage performance Girl’s Night Out – aimed at mothers, daughters, sisters and girlfriends who bond over stories about men, sexism, dating, raising teenagers and an encounter with actor George Clooney. “Women come out in gangs,” says Lette, who gets up close and personal with her fans about everything from puberty to menopause in what’s dubbed a psychological striptease. “What I love about doing a stage show is you get to meet your readers. They’re wonderful, witty, wise and warm women. It’s an ego trip for me, too. “I put in words what women are thinking but not saying out loud. They find that liberating.” Lette, who has written 14 best-selling books including her first Puberty Blues with Gabrielle Carey in 1979 and worldwide hit Mad Cows in 1996, has made a name for herself speaking candidly

about sex, desire, raising an autistic child and her brush with famous men – even tongue-pashing Prince William. “I hate the word empowering,” says Lette, who counts Kylie Minogue as a close friend. “What I do is feminism light – it’s funny and gets women wired up and passionate. My philosophy and motto in life is that women are each other’s human Wonderbras – they’re supportive and make us feel better. That is a joy to see when I am on that stage.” The 60-year-old, who splits her time between Sydney and London, might turn to the funny side for high kicks, but admits it’s when she shows vulnerability that audiences really respond. She is on stage at Melbourne’s Athenaeum Theatre on November 4. “There’s a lovely part in the show [when] I ask questions from the audience; it’s when I open up about raising an autistic son. It’s a lovely bonding moment,” she says. “I talk about how hard it was on me, and when I show that side, it really resonates with women. They don’t feel so alone.” Now her children are older (Julius, aged 28 and Georgina, 25) Lette is able to come back to
“I put in words what women are thinking but not saying out loud. They find that liberating.” Australia for five months of the year. “I get to see Mum and my sisters now a lot more,” she says. “When the kids were at school I was stuck in Pommy land.” Long before chick-lit became an Instagram hashtag, Lette was writing about motherhood and her own conflicting feelings about it. “The biggest selling book I ever wrote was Mad Cows – it sold millions of copies internationally and it was the first book that took on the idea that motherhood is the ultimate fulfilment for a female,” says Lette of her career turning point. “Until then everyone tried to be bitterly perfect mothers. When I wrote that I was worried I was the only mother who wasn’t coping, and anybody who says she is coping is either lying or taking a lot of drugs [laughs]. And then women from all around the world wrote me letters to say thanks.”

The success of Mad Cows saw everyone court her for its film rights, including actor/director Robert De Niro and Harvey Weinstein. “The book really hit a nerve and it taught me to trust my instinct,” says Lette, who compares her most famous work to a cappuccino. “It’s light and frothy on the top but has the essence of an espresso underneath,” she says. It tells the story of Maddy, whose first day out with her newborn ends in her being arrested for shoplifting. Lette continues to be a pioneering voice of contemporary feminism, even paving the way for others including Caitlin Moran and Lena Dunham. “I was serving mum-lit long before it got that title and clearly there’s still a huge demand for it.” ● ● athenaeumtheatre.com.au ● kathylette.com.au

nown for his roles in Gallipoli and Puberty Blues, Australian actor and father of two [nearly three] Jeremy Lindsay Taylor returns to our screens as Brian Rickards – an AFL coach in the WAG drama Playing for Keeps. The 46-year-old spent a lot of time shadowing AFL coaches to understand better the mechanics of their job – including a stint in a coach’s box to gauge the
high-pressure and hyper-masculine environment. “I can’t repeat what I heard, but it was the best 101 you could get,” says the Sydney-based actor, who grew up following NRL but barracks for the AFL’s Sydney Swans alongside his wife Marnie Pleffer and their two daughters Esma, 6, and Isla, 4. “I had to do a crash course in Aussie rules and learn how to coach the fast and furious way,” he says.

“I remember being given the main role of Martin [and] thinking to myself you can just never know what will happen as an actor,” he says. “I was in the middle of shooting Bikie Wars: Brothers in Arms and got married during that time. I had put on 25 kilos, was fat, hairy and covered in fake tattoos – our wedding photos are immortalised with the look, and ... it looks nothing like me. “When I got offered the part in Puberty Blues I remember thinking to myself, ‘Well that’s a life lesson’. “It’s not about how you look at the time of the audition; those interested in what you’re doing are always watching. A penny drops when you least expect it.” It’s the sort of advice he gives others trying to make their mark in the competitive world of showbiz. “You have so many knockbacks and think people aren’t noticing,” he says. “But the moment you think they aren’t, they are.” ●

Lindsay Taylor, who also plays the husband of Kath [Madeleine West] says he enjoys working alongside strong female leads in the series. “It’s an amazing show for women about women, but why it works so well is that it’s taking a maledominated Aussie rules setting and leaving it up to women to share their story. There’s drama, it’s funny; a lot is going on,” he says. Other stars are actors Annie Maynard [who he worked with on Puberty Blues] and Olympia Valance. Lindsay Taylor says since becoming a father he’s become a lot better at not taking himself and his work so seriously. “Becoming a father has taken [my work] to a whole new level,” he says. “You’re emotionally available; your feet are on the ground. It’s not about you so much, but it’s about life and how can I grow.” He says a career highlight was acting in Puberty Blues in 2012.

It’s a twist on your classic, ugly duckling story. A dowdy, 1950s house grows in to a splendid swan. Now telling the final chapter of its transformation tale, this significantly extended, luxuriously appointed abode could teach all a lesson or two about faith in the architectural process. The previous incarnation presented in two-tone brick. Both front balconies had unbecoming balustrades. The lounge was old-school in shag-pile carpet and fussy drapes; the family area displayed exposed ceiling beams and brick walls; the kitchen seemed weighed down by clunky cabinetry; and the main bedroom was pink. While the backyard was big, there wasn’t much to entice you into it. Thoroughly reconstructed, cleverly extended and reborn to aesthetic heights by the owner/builder of Dowcon Builders, the house now has one more bedroom, three more bathrooms and more living space. The interior eschews unnecessary exposure and non-neutral hues. The fixtures are exemplary; state-of-the-art extras cover all bases, and the backyard flaunts a protected barbecue terrace adjoining a solar-heated pool, while retaining plenty of play-friendly lawn. The rendered facade opts for glass balustrades on the balconies for unobstructed views over boulevard scenery. The front door opens to a foyer announcing the first contender for main-bedroom suite on the left, and a hall to the study and lounge on the right. A second hall leads to another bedroom with en suite. Double doors then reveal a massive hub comprising a twophase kitchen, a dining area with study nook, and a family
