About

Phoebe Thorburn is a recipe developer and emerging writer living in south-east Naarm/Melbourne, Australia on unceded Boon Wurrung country. They studied sociology and film at Monash University (2019) and have been making warm-hug, vegan & gluten-free recipes for Honeybunch of Onion Tops, since 2016.

Their recipes are nostalgic, playful and inclusive of many eaters & appetites, while their writing explores food, comfort, connection, mental health and living in a world designed for neurotypical minds & able bodies. Their work has been published by Frankie Magazine & ABC Everyday.

Phoebe posts videos featuring their time in the kitchen, their experience being AuDHD, video essays and their time running Biscuit Tin Bakery (their microbakery - closed 2023).

Phoebe has self-published several experimental cookbooks - each a singularly conceptualised work, weaving straightforward recipes, lush landscapes, practical tips, nostalgic home-cookery classics and mental health considerations together in easy to digest formats. Their work is sold via their online shop, occasionally stocked in Brunswick Bound, The Sticky Institute & Beaumaris Books.

Phoebe has been interviewed for ABC Radio National, local radio & The Jerk Store.
