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
Indira Naidoo, broadcaster and author
"Many of the students in my class had been fighting in the civil war as child soldiers." - Indira Naidoo
In this episode of Three Food Memories, you'll meet a stalwart of Australian broadcasting - the wonderful Indira Naidoo.
With a childhood spent jumping between continents and cultures, she has a unique outlook on life, and back home - more recently, grief - which she delves into in her beautiful book The Space Between the Stars. She’s also the author of celebrated books The Edible Balcony, The Edible City, and host of ABC’s Compass.
On the menu is Mum's curried chicken, survival meatballs, and the Wayside Chapel Christmas Lunch.
Sides include an extraordinary escape during apartheid, reflections on school life across five countries, lining up for cheese, learnings of grief in midlife, and what it takes to broadcast to the nation during times of need.
Indira's social cause is The Wayside Chapel, whose mission is creating community by breaking down the barriers of judgement and providing a safe place where people from all walks of life are welcome.
You can donate a plate to their Christmas Appeal here: waysidechapel.org.au
