Three Food Memories
The things you find out when you ask people about their food memories can be soulful, spicy, sensational, sour, and sublime. Often you'll discover something you never knew about the person you asked - and this is what the Three Food Memories podcast is about, how every food memory is linked to a moment in time.
Three Food Memories is hosted by Savva Savas, dad of twin boys, entrepreneur, caterer, and creator. In each episode Savva chats with a guest who shares three food memories and a social cause close to their heart, revealing far more about themselves than what they’ve tasted.
Be prepared for some hilarious and otherwise never-heard-before stories, and if you love listening - please tell your friends (and like, subscribe, and follow for all the goodness!)
Three Food Memories
Alex Perry, fashion designer (TFM Live)
"If we go to Greece and we pass ten different bakeries, I will have ten pieces of spanakopita." - Alex Perry
In 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. You can find out more at the link above.
This episode of Three Food Memories was presented by Home of the Arts, Gold Coast, host of the 2025 Bleach Festival.
