- WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons
This clip from the YouTube channel Kooking with a Koori features presenter Nathan Lyons yarning with Melle Smith-Haimona while she prepares tortellini boscaiola.
Reflective of the easygoing, accessible tone of Lyons' channel, the footage features a relaxed setting and simple ingredients as Lyons spotlights his guest Melle, her Ngunnawal mob, art practice and inspirations (a shout-out is given to Wiradjuri, Ngiyampaa and Pilaarrkiyalu illustrator Charlotte Allingham). The casual format acts as a gateway for connection and cross-cultural exchange among First Nations creatives and Lyons' broader web audience.
Lyons is a Wiradjuri man based in Central Queensland whose kitchen-savvy videos garnered him a loyal TikTok audience in 2020. This led to viral success, a cookbook, and partnerships with NAIDOC Week and TikTok. From this excerpt, viewers can see that his content showcases a range of First Nations experiences, community and resilience through food.
