Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson

If, like us, you are about to Ho Ho Ho into a food-filled Christmas, have we got some helpful hints to share thanks to our guest this week, Brendan Pang. You will remember Brendan from his MasterChef days and as well as sharing some memories from that life-changing experience, he gives us the rundown on having a prawn-filled Christmas feast. Everything from buying and peeling (including the dreaded the poop chute) to some beautiful dishes to prepare for the family. Brendan also gives us some very handy and timely rice cooking tips. The Food Poll is another festive-inspired sweet treat showdown. Are you going shortbread or gingerbread?

Justine Schofield is one of those people who has the rare gift of being able to light up a room with her presence, so it is little wonder she has gone from MasterChef contestant to being one of the most popular presenters on television. Justine returns to Food Bytes with stories from her latest television adventure, taking in the sights, lights and culinary delights of Hong Kong. And the delights are many, from jet fuelled street food and cocktails 108 floors up to a sweet treat called a pineapple bun that contains no actual pineapple. Justine also shares her Christmas plans and has a tip to help get you through the big day. The Food Poll is unashamedly festive and sweet. Don't count the calories, vote with your drooling tastebuds for either Chocolate Ripple cake or trifle. Justine's latest show Hong Kong Gourmet is streaming on SBS on Demand.

Silvie Paladino's name is synonymous with Christmas and Carols by Candlelight and she certainly brings the joy and spirit of the festive season to the show this week. As Silvie prepares for a slew of Christmas concerts and her 27th appearance at Melbourne's iconic Christmas Eve spectacular, she talks about her family, her career and what is special to her at this time of year. The Food Poll this week is a hard one, quite literally: Is it a yay or a nay for the humble hard-boiled egg?

Restaurateur, author, chef and seasoned television presenter Shane Delia returns to Food Bytes to tell us about his latest adventure, a six part series for SBS Food, tapping into his Maltese heritage. Shane's passion for the cuisine, produce, people and places of his ancestral homeland shines through with his insights into everything from sweet treats to Christmas fare. And rather than a kitchen or cooking tip, Shane shares an AFL footy tip for 2026. The reaction to our Food Poll this week was off the charts and the battle for supremacy was akin to a heavyweight title fight as we crown the top flyer from the deep fryer ... it's potato cakes/scallops up against chips.
