JUNE 2010

This month we take a Food Safari into the sublime realm of Italian cooking with Maeve O’Meara and Grossi Florentino’s very own Guy Grossi in ITALIAN FOOD SAFARI. We also put it right into the back of the net with the 2010 OFFICIAL WORLD CUP PREVIEW; Costa pops in to take us through another series of holistic, organic gardening in COSTA’S GARDEN ODYSSEY – SERIES 2; and we trace the impact of reading and writing over five thousand years of history in EMPIRE OF THE WORD.

ITALIAN FOOD SAFARI

Presented by food explorer Maeve O’Meara and legendary Melbourne chef Guy Grossi, ITALIAN FOOD SAFARI is a celebration of the incredible breadth and hard work of the Italians who came and settled in Australia over a generation ago and have kept their food traditions alive. Mercifully, they’ve shared their food and culture with the rest of us – and we’ve been delighted to embrace everything from classic dishes to the most rustic home-style food.
