Three Food Memories

• Alex Perry, fashion designer

  "If we go to Greece and we pass ten different bakeries, I will have ten pieces of spanakopita." - Alex PerryIn this episode of Three Food Memories recorded at the Bleach Festival on the Gold Coast, you meet fashion designer Alex Perry - whose sharp tailoring, glamorous red-carpet gowns, and signature sunnies have become known worldwide. But before his stratospheric international career in the rag trade, Alex Perry was your average kid of Greek immigrant parents growing up in Matraville, in Sydney. So how did the kid from Syd become a global force on the runway, and how did fashion become the flame that lit something inside him?On the menu is spanakopita, keftedes, and halva. Alex's social cause is the AEIOU FOUNDATION - aeiou.org.au The AEIOU Foundation for Children with Autism provides early intervention that enables children with autism to live their best lives. AEIOU delivers high-quality therapy and care for children aged 2-6.

• Phoebe Greenwood, author and former war correspondent

  “The first year here, you're going to hate the Israeli government. The second year here, you're going to hate the Palestinian leadership. The third year here, you're going to hate yourself. And then it's a good idea that you leave.”In this episode you'll meet Phoebe Greenwood, journalist, author, and former war correspondent whose debut book Vulture is a speedy satire of the war news industry and its moral blind spots based in Gaza during the 2012 war. On the menu is; jam drop biscuits, Aussie potato scallops, and Palestinian musakhen made with love. Phoebe's social cause is Medical Aid for Palestinians. You can donate through the link, or search map.org.uk. Medical Aid for Palestinians is warning of a deepening malnutrition emergency in Gaza. 44% of pregnant and breastfeeding mothers screened by one of its local partners are suffering from severe malnutrition and urgently need to be referred for medical treatment.This alarming data was reported by Ard El Insan (AEI), a longstanding local humanitarian partner of MAP, which has been delivering nutrition and medical support to Palestinians across Gaza. Until last week, AEI operated a medical point in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, which provided essential care and nutrition services to around 200 malnourished women and children every day. But following forced displacement orders issued by the Israeli military on Sunday 20 July, the medical point was forced to shut down. Despite the massive disruption caused by the forced displacement orders and the ongoing siege, MAP continues to operate in Gaza – though our ability to deliver services is becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous. We are still trying to operate eight other nutrition medical points across southern Gaza. Send us a textTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at [email protected], we'd love to hear from you!
