Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson

Such is his popularity, dessert maestro Adriano Zumbo pops up everywhere from The Cook Up with Adam Liaw on SBS to MasterChef, and we are delighted to say he pops up this week on Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson.  Adriano shares memories of his childhood - where he really was the kid in the lolly shop. While his desserts might be out of this world, Adriano is very down to earth and he tells us that, after a long day slaving away over his spectacular creations, he loves nothing more than a Zooper Dooper or plate of Potato Gems. The Food Poll this week is Paella. Are you voting Si or No, Gracias?       Adriano photo courtesy of Jiwon Kim The Cook Up SBS   Presented by Sarah Patterson & Kevin Hillier Broadcast each Sunday on the ACE Radio Network - https://aceradio.com.au/Catch us also on:Radio 2DD - Easy Listening - On Line - https://www.2dd.online/Follow us on Facebook...https://www.facebook.com/foodbyteswithsarahpatterson/Twitter & Instagram - @sarahfoodbytesPost-production by Chris GatesforHowdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts© 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What an absolute treat it is to have author and high-profile social commentator Jane Caro as our special guest on the Food Bytes podcast this week. With her latest book Lyrebird getting rave reviews, Jane chats about the fascinating story behind it and the realities of life as a writer. We also explore the societal pressures on women over the age of fifty – especially those in media – and Jane’s dream dinner party guest list is one of the most outstanding yet. Oh, and our Food Poll gets slightly shrivelled this week as we pit dried apricots against prunes.

From the VFL days of old to the confectionery aisle at ALDI, Bulldogs legend Simon Beasley takes us on a nostalgic (and very sweet) journey in the latest ep of the Food Bytes podcast. Simon shares with us his memories of life growing up in WA, the magic of his mum’s chocolate pudding, working as a stockbroker during his playing days, hiding sweet treats around the house – and the unforgettable intercept of 1984 at Footscray’s Western Oval that saved the day! As for our Food Poll this week … we’re known here at Food Bytes for our crazy capers, but what are your thoughts on the ones that come out of a jar?

For fifty years, the songs of Air Supply have been a part of the soundtrack of our lives. On the eve of their Australian tour to mark this incredible milestone, Russell Hitchcock joins us on Food Bytes. Russell takes us through the formation of Air Supply, discovering his voice and what it could do and his love of Melbourne fish and chips.

The answers take several unlikely detours from the lolly aisle.       Presented by Sarah Patterson & Kevin Hillier Broadcast each Sunday on the ACE Radio Network - https://aceradio.com.au/ Catch us also on: Radio 2DD - Easy Listening - On Line - https://www.2dd.online/ Follow us on Facebook...https://www.facebook.com/foodbyteswithsarahpatterson/ Twitter & Instagram - @sarahfoodbytes Post-production by Chris Gates for Howdy Partners Media | www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts © 2025See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia II crossing the line to win the America's Cup more than 40 years ago is one of the most memorable moments in our country's history and one man forever linked to that famous victory, John Bertrand, is our guest this week on on Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson.

As a groundbreaking broadcaster, Muriel Cooper called a spade a spade and now, in her new life as a psychologist and author, she has appropriately called her latest book Up Shit Creek in a Barbed Wire Canoe (and how to cope with it). norstriliapress.com We talk about Muriel's practical and refreshingly honest tips and strategies to cope with life's more challenging situations, plus her killer baked raspberry cheesecake and more.

Paul Dimattina has never been afraid to get his hands dirty, either in the kitchen or on the footy field. Growing up in a family ensconced in both hospitality and football gave Paul a pretty clear career path and one he grabbed with both hands (washed and dried).

Tom Richards starred in some of the most popular television programs of the last 50 years, and we mean STARRED. As David Palmer in Sons and Daughters, he was one of TV's leading - though reluctant - sex symbols. Before that, he was a dynamo chasing baddies as Detective York in Matlock Police .

He certainly was ahead of his time in his eating and lifestyle choices, but can he cook?

Joe Camilleri is an Australian music icon but do you know what sweet treat he hides in his glovebox? What animal he was petrified of as a kid? How the Black Sorrows got their name?

Warning: this program may contain traces of peanuts (like Joe's glovebox) and occasional references to food and beverage, but most of all it is a hoot with one of this country's most talented musicians.
