Welcome to Talking Heads and the world of Poh Ling Yeow.

'You know her as someone who loves food and cooking,

Thank you very much for having me, Peter.

Now, in a slightly different life - it is a slightly different life -

I would have introduced you as Sharon...  Yes. (LAUGHS)

..make-up artist to the stars in New York.

Yeah, perhaps. That was my fantasy, anyway.

I don't know. I think it's definitely related

about looking not the way I wanted... Sorry.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, couldn't really do much about that.

..cathartic of me to be able to do this thing where I could

change someone's face, and something about that appealed to me.

Yes. ..association with food is the least likely.

Recently, I only just realised that my Year 12 project

Well, it's very much Chinese cultural tradition, isn't it?

Very much so. Very much so. People live to eat.

After you finish breakfast, you talk about what you're having for lunch,

At lunch you talk about dinner. Is that what happens?

It's actually a huge part of, not just eating, but...

..it's a huge part of what we do for recreation, really -

..there's an issue there about fitting in.

To be brief, you didn't really feel like you fitted in

You joined the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints -

the Mormons - and struggled to fit into that.

Yeah. You struggled to fit into commercial art.

but life's been a lot about this sort of finding the path.

Yeah, and I do acknowledge that a lot of it is...

so I think that was a little bit of a problem with friends,

and I got brought up in quite a strict home. Yeah.

Is it right to say you felt pressured to be the good, Chinese girl?

would describe me as having quite a sort of bubbly,

but I've certainly not always been like this.

I've felt fairly uncomfortable in my own skin,

and have to say that most of my cultural influence

definitely come from the women in my family.

I was born in Malaysia and lived there until the age of nine.

that I wasn't quite where I was meant to be.

When my parents announced to my brother and I,

I remember this cloud just lifting from me -

and thinking, "My life is going to finally make sense."'

'As soon as we landed in Australia, I just remember thinking,

I love everything, I love the street signs,

I love these weird eucalyptus trees, the magpies -

I didn't want to be Chinese when I was younger, I have to say.

and already, the smell of it was a bit of warning.

Braised chicken giblets in star anise and soy -

That lunchbox got snapped shut very promptly.

I just remember thinking, yuck - I want to be blonde with freckles.

So, Poh do you still a line in chicken giblets...in star anise?

No. Haven't had it for ages, actually. My dear auntie...

..she's lived with us since I was a child.

She thought, poor girl - first day at school.

I'll give her everything that she loves. (LAUGHS)

Give her some comfort food. Yeah, give her some comfort food.

You're growing up. You're there till you're nine,
