Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson

Stephanie Alexander AO is a national treasure, as is her famous book 'The Cook's Companion' (Penguin Books), which she has lovingly revised, renewed and released for its 30th anniversary.
Keeping things simple and anxiety-free is Stephanie's goal and she takes us through her love of cooking - which started at a very young age - and shares her thoughts on everything from TV cooking shows to air fryers.
Stephanie is passing on her passion for cooking through her other passion: The Kitchen Garden Foundation, which she founded to introduce kids to the garden and the kitchen.
The Food Poll this week features Spanakopita. For those who don't know, Spanakopita is a traditional Greek savoury pastry consisting of a spinach and feta cheese filling encased in flaky, buttery filo. So, are you a yay or nay?

Barry Creyton is a much-loved part of Australian television history, thanks to his very creative input into groundbreaking programs like The Mavis Bramston Show and Graham Kennedy's Blankety Blanks.
Barry has just released the book of his amazing theatrical life 'Beyond Togetherness - A Life,' which, like Barry, is full of riveting stories of his days treading the boards, acting, writing and directing around the globe. Barry shares some of those memories, plus some insights into how he looks and is so fabulous at the age of 86.
As the last morsels of Easter chocolate disappear, we are up for a final sweet splurge, pitting the irresistible Lindt Balls against the beguiling Ferrero Rochers in the weekly Food Poll.

Steve Liebmann is a class act, something he showed radio and television audiences on a daily basis during a career in which he started as a fresh-faced 13 year old in his home town of Cooma.
What an amazing life and career that followed. Lucky for us, Steve shares some of his 'pinch me' moments and life-changing experiences that make this 81 year old as charismatic a storyteller today as he was in the halcyon days of the Today Show. As you would expect, given his jounalistic background, Steve has strong opinions on the modern media landscape and he shares those too. One thing that hasn't changed over the years is Steve's special kitchen skill.
And we've got a Roll Poll for voters this week as if plucked from the supermarket cake aisle, with the classic jam roll versus the somewhat mysterious chocolate roll.

Scherri-Lee Biggs is a most interesting human being, with a rich and colourful story to tell - from her teenage modelling days to representing Australia at Miss Universe 2011, to a television career than has now landed her a role as the Melbourne weather presenter on National Nine News.
As a working mum, Scherri-Lee juggles many roles including hiding vegies in spag bol, packing kinder lunches and raiding the news desk snack jar.
The Food Poll is brought to you by the letter P and may or may not include the vegetable pea as well. We pit the pie against the pastie. Which will be the people's popular pastry parcel?

She is a comedy goddess and a romance goddess, but is Effie a kitchen goddess? All will be revealed when everyone's favourite former hairdresser turned superstar joins Sarah and Kevin this week.
As she prepares for her Melbourne International Comedy Festival Show 'Frigid to Feral,' Effie shares some of her worldly thoughts on a smorgasbord of subjects including menopause, coffee, kitchen gadgets and even some from her marital boudoir! Like everything Effie does, it is wickedly unpredictable.
The snack aisle gets a guernsey this week as the Food Poll pits Cheezels against Burger Rings in a preservatives battle for the ages.
'Frigid to Feral' Effie's new show is at the Melbourne Comedy Festival from April 14th. Tickets and show details at www.artscentremelbourne.com.au
