When I was 17 I went to Australia. It was a memorable flight experience because we missed our initial connection, but we eventually got there and I have such fond memories. We were in Cairns and everywhere we went was so beautiful. We went rock climbing and scuba-diving and skydiving. That’s something I’ll never forget.
I feel so grateful that I keep getting to work with Australians. I just worked with John Polson and Xavier Samuel on Tell Me Your Secrets, and I’ve worked with Sam Worthington on something, and with this wonderful actor called Damon Herriman on The Underground Railroad. And they all know each other! I barely have to say a last name and they’re like, “Yes, of course.”
I support binge-watching, I do it myself all the time with shows that I love. But I wonder if there will be people who might pace themselves with Tell Me Your Secrets. There’s such wonderful restraint in the show. I hope that people give themselves a chance to wonder and wait, like reading a great book.

HEART AND SOUL
Not a vegetable but rather a flower bud that rises on a thistle, the artichoke is a complex delight. Its rewards are hard won; first you must get past the armour of petals and remove the hairy choke. Those who step up are rewarded with sweet and savoury creaminess and the elusive flavour of spring. Many of the recipes here begin with the same Provençal braise. Others call on the nuttiness of artichokes in their raw form. The results make pasta lighter and chicken brighter or can be fried to become a vessel for bold flavours all of which capture the levity of the season.
