In this episode of Three Food Memories, you'll meet actor and author Zoe Terakes who has lit up the screen in Wentworth, starred alongside Nicole Kidman in Nine Perfect Strangers, and scored a Helpmann nomination at just 19 years old.

Sides include: what it took to write Eros: Queer Myths for Lovers (out now!), how awkward it is to record said book as an audiobook when you have to repeat the word cock multiple times for the sound engineer, why they shouted at MP Penny Wong, and a deep dive into queer love.

"We were living in a museum" - Sofie Muller

In this episode of Three Food Memories, you'll meet Belgian artist Sofie Muller. On Sofie's menu: a cocktail that packs a punch, a soup that makes you cry, and a dinner in the dark.

Sides include: growing up in a museum, why creating art is better than housework, and what it takes to show the ingredients of the soul. 

This episode was recorded at Fox Jensen Gallery on Gadigal land. 

Sofie's social cause is: art as a form of healing. Not a cure, but a space where pain can exist, where silence can speak, and where people may feel seen and recognised. She says "My work isn’t a statement, but an invitation: to look more slowly, to feel more honestly, and to meet ourselves and others with greater softness."
