Guts: In Conversation with Melissa Leong

An unforgettably honest evening with Melissa Leong (aka fooderati), the first female judge of MasterChef Australia and Dessert Masters. In Guts: A memoir of food, failure and taking impossible chances, we get a rare behind-the-scenes reflection. With themes of abuse in the hospitality industry, racism, mental health and, for a light palate cleanser, the thrill of mouth-wateringly memorable food and recipes, we are in for a ride. Most of all, Melissa will inspire us to have the courage to create the life we really want. This will be a conversation as sharp as kitchen knives, dark as black coffee, and funny as food can be. Melissa will be in conversation with Amanda Whitley, founder of HerCanberra.

Melissa Leong is a Gold Logie-nominated television presenter and personality, freelance food and travel journalist, food media consultant, radio broadcaster, MC and cookbook editor. She lives in Melbourne but is often found elsewhere.
