Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson

As we sharpen our Ginsus in preparation for a slashing start to the new year, here we take a brief moment to reflect on some of the incredible people who joined us in 2025. International television icon Alison Arngrim shared stories of the role that changed her life - playing Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie. She also served us up a very special scrambled egg tip. Steph de Sousa told us about her MasterChef experiences and how keeping the kitchen as a happy, simple and fun place isn't that hard. What a revelation she was. Despite not getting the accolades he thinks he deserves for his kitchen prowess, former Australian cricketer Simon O'Donnell regailed us with his thoughts on the mighty Brussels sprout and what might have been in his sucessful acting career. And the final words for 2025 involve Sooshi Mango, meat pies, tinned spaghetti and Hawaiian pizza. What could go wrong?

Dessert maestro Adriano Zumbo pops in with a surprising kitchen tip - and don't miss multi-media star Virginia Trioli's coffee confession.

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.
