Curry Punk & Jelly Brain 

Exploring the Weird World of Fungi 

It seems we are in something of a ‘mushroom moment’. Fungi and their 

subterranean alliances are capturing imaginations and foragers are 

rediscovering the joys of wild-foraged food. 

Fungi help plants access water and nutrients while increasing their 

resistance to drought and disease. They build architecture in soils, aerating 

them and allowing water to gently percolate to deeper horizons. While often 

maligned by gardeners, most fungi are friends, not foes. 

Ecologist, photographer and author Alison Pouliot has straddled both 

hemispheres for over two decades. This enables her to experience two 

autumns each year and a double dose of fungi. She has interacted with 

fungi and their followers in the forests of a dozen countries. In this 

illustrated and interactive seminar, Alison will explore the fascinating lives 

of these misunderstood organisms and will include some excerpts from her 

book The Allure of Fungi and Wild Mushrooming. 

Signed copies of Alison’s book will be available for purchase.

Nalini Singh 

Born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand author Nalini Singh has worked as a 

lawyer, a librarian, a bank temp and an English teacher, but as she says "not 

necessarily in that order". 

With over forty published titles translated into thirteen languages Nalini is 

recognised as a leader in paranormal romance / speculative fiction with the 

writing of her acclaimed Psy/Changeling and Guild Hunter series. 

Her writing career kicked off in 2002 when one of her novels sold to 

Silhouette. In 2006, during the time paranormal romance novels were 

gaining more momentum, Nalini began her Psy / Changeling series and in 

2009 the first novel in the Guild Hunter series, Angel's Blood, was released. 

Both series gained huge worldwide following achieving critical acclaim. 

Nalini also has written contemporary romance and in 2019 published a 

stand-alone thriller set in New Zealand, giving readers both the landscape 

and culture of the region. A second thriller, Quiet In her Bones was released 

in 2021. 

A master at the craft of world building, Nalini joins us via Zoom from her 

home in New Zealand for an in-conversation style session with one of our 

branch librarians that will delve into the intricate worlds she created within 

her two most popular series.

It’s the 1980s, and in their small coastal town Ali and her best friend, 

Jessie, are on the cusp. With ‘The Golden Book’, a journal of incantation 

and risk taking as their record, they begin to chafe at the restrictions 

put on them by teachers, parents, and each other. Then Jessie suffers 

a devastating accident, and both their lives are forever changed. 

When Ali is an adult, with a young daughter herself, the news of Jessie’s 

death brings back the intensity of that summer, forcing her to reckon 

with her own role in what happened to Jessie so many years ago. 

As this stunning debut moves back and forth in time, and Ali’s secrets 

are forced into the light, Kate Ryan asks profound questions about 

responsibility and blame, and, ultimately, about love. 

‘An exquisite study of the liminal space between words and acts, 

and the necessary redrafting of our life stories. This is a golden book.’ 

MYFANWY JONES, author of Leap 

‘A gorgeous evocation of the wildness of youth, and of what it takes 

to find love after disaster. Kate Ryan writes from the heart. 

Earthy, lovely, and profound. A beautiful, resonant book.’

A harmony of tastes 

Harmony Week 

Food brings us together in ways few other things can. This Harmony Day, Whitehorse Manningham Libraries is 

seeking your recipes, ones that carry a story of a place, a time and maybe a person. The jam recipe your Uncle 

taught you, the perfect dahl that your friend learned from her grandmother, the recipe you’ve taught your own family 

or that one dish you’re asked to bring along to every gathering. 

Let’s bring together our recipes, sharing them through the creation of our A HARMONY OF TASTES cookbook, 

showcasing the diversity of our commuity through the foods that we love to eat. 

To take part, email your recipe with optional photos of you cooking the dish or of the finished product, to 

doncaster@wml.vic.gov.au using the email subject heading HARMONY RECIPE. Alternatively, collect a harmony 

recipe submission form from your local branch. 

Guidelines: 

• Recipes should include a full list of ingredients, their quantities and a description of how the recipe should be 

prepared and cooked. 

• Briefly describe your recipe and share with us how it has come to be a part of your or your family’s food 

history, especially if the recipe has been passed along by someone in your life. 

• If a recipe is from a cookbook or website you may copy the ingredients list but the method and description of 

how to prepare and cook the dish must be in your own words. 

Recipe submissions will close on Wednesday 30 March. A downloadable version of A HARMONY OF TASTES will be 

available at the end of April 2022.

Alexx Stuart: 

Low Tox Life 

Did you know that if food waste was a country, it would rank as the third largest emitter behind the USA and China? It 

is a critical thing we can all contribute to but isn't always easy if you've never been taught how. So, do you have food 

waste and still can't seem to cut it down? Find yourself ignoring that soggy spinach or herb in the back of the crisper 

until it's time to say goodbye? In this workshop Alexx Stuart, author of Low Tox Life: FOOD, takes you through her top 

ways to eliminate waste – first in the mind, and next in the everyday kitchen. You will come away with practical ideas 

that create big impact for your food budget and the planet. She took her family from needing a 53L bin weekly to an 

11L bin fortnightly and is determined to cut it further. Join us for this hyper practical, inspiring workshop. Zoom invite 

will be emailed to registered participants at least one hour prior to the session.

Upcycling with The Junk Map 

With Lara Knight 

If you’re interested in upcycling you’re in the right place! There is a fine line between nutty glue-all-over Pinterest 

upcycling (that wastes resources that could be productively recycled), and creating something genuinely useful and 

of higher value than the original materials. Lara Knight – creator of The Junk Map website – encourages thoughtful, 

durable and creative reuse. It's a fun area for people of all ages to play around with. Experimenting and learning is 

part of the process! 

Lara Knight created The Junk Map website in 2013 as a secondhand business directory. The Junk Map now includes 

stories, interviews and tips from all kinds of recyclers who like turning something old into something exceptional. 

Come and hear Lara talk about her tips and experience with upcycling. Zoom invite will be emailed to registered 

participants at least one hour prior to the session.

Know, Sow, Grow, Feast with Karen Sutherland 

Karen Sutherland is an author and tomato expert and in this hybrid event (streamed online and open to a small 

audience in the library), she will share her tips, tricks and tempting ways to taste this fantastic food. 

The book Karen co-authored (with Janice Sutton & Penny Woodward) is regarded as the tomato bible for the 

Australian climate – and it's packed with helpful advice from an experienced grower and tomato-lover. 

To increase your knowledge about sowing and growing – including fertiliser, how to train your toms, and try organic 

growing techniques, including self-watering beds, the book also features a comprehensive ‘pest and disease’ guide 

with a troubleshooter chart and photos to help identify problems. 

Karen Sutherland will be in conversation with writer and interviewer Claire Halliday (Things My Mother Taught Me &
