Revisiting “The Rich Tradition”

In 1985, Elisabeth Luard published European Peasant Cookery: the Rich Tradition to great acclaim. It rapidly became a go-to book for cooks, food lovers and critics, and was followed in the early 1990s by a television series, titled The Rich Tradition, based on the book, directed by Carmelo Musca of CM Film Productions.

Talking of Food is pleased to stream the series to coincide with the publishing of a revised, expanded and updated edition of European Peasant Cookery.

carluccios Corroboree

A journey into the outback, into culture, into country and a modern take on indigenous foods.

Antonio Carluccio is one of the most well known and respected cooks in the television world. He teams up with Australian Indigenous elder, actor, dancer, musician, television presenter, Richard Walley.

Richard takes Antonio on a journey of discovery into Noongar country the south-west corner of Western Australia. One of the largest bio diversity areas in the world. Here they learn about indigenous history, culture, art, music, the land, language, sustainability and the food.

Antonio will take these ingredients and put his own special take on them. Kangaroo, Dhufish, Marron, Emu, wild duck, wild honey, wild pig, oysters, scallops, lobster and mussels. Plus wild seeds, berries and plants, to name but a few.

Along the way, Richard will introduce Carluccio to local characters who will accompany them on their quest. They’ll hunt and fish, and gather wild plants and experience a corroboree by a fire in the clean, crisp, clear star-filled night.

Real Aussie food with an Italian twist – I can’t wait!

Collision Course is a study in movement produced by Australian Dance Theatre in collaboration with CM Film Productions (Perth).

Based on a concept developed by Australian Dance Theatre’s Artistic Director – Garry Stewart, the work features 48 extreme slow motion collisions between dancers, boxers, martial artists, gymnasts, football players and street culture enthusiasts.

The high-speed video, used to capture the collisions, manipulates time and perception through slowing down movement to such an enormous degree so that the smallest gesture becomes monumental. In each collision we witness in vivid detail the reconfiguration of faces, limbs and bodies as they collide against each other with impact.

The enormous elasticity of the body’s flesh and collagen is well beyond what can be perceived in real time but via this medium we are drawn into the secret world of the physics of our bodies in full flight and under stress
