“I’m devoid of caution, and it’s got me in to plenty of trouble in my time” - Louise Adler 

Louise Adler is a leading figure in Australia’s literary and cultural landscape — a distinguished publisher, editor, and intellectual who has played a key role in shaping Australia’s literary voice.

On the menu this episode is; fruit salad at the Fruit Salad Farm, "Continental" cooking, and the food hall at KaDeWe in Berlin. Along the way, Louise shares the hilarious story of her first “date” with husband Max Gillies, moving family tales of escape during World War II, and her powerful views on why we cannot turn away from the war in Gaza. 

Louise’s social cause is The Jewish Council, who support Palestinian freedom and justice and are united in their opposition to Israel’s continued policies aimed at the destruction of Palestinian life.

"I'm not really up on my royal history" - Tom Parker Bowles

How do you make food your job without having to cook it? 

Well you become a food writer and critic (and all time lover of food) like Tom Parker Bowles, who says “I loved eating and could just about string a sentence together, so I thought I could write about it...I was rubbish at everything else.”

🍗On the menu; diabolical boarding school food, mum’s roast chook, all of the chillies, why he may have been a bogan in a previous life, and how his latest book Cooking and the Crown: Royal Recipes from Queen Victoria to King Charles the Third was conceived. 

Tom’s social cause is Action Against Hunger - actionagainsthunger.org, 

There is more than enough food to feed everyone on the planet yet:

• 1 in 11 people suffer from hunger
• 40% of the world’s population doesn’t have access to a healthy diet – that includes first-world countries like the UK and Australia

"The beauty is that we're going to be taken back to a simpler life, and I think that many of us have been craving it." - Sarah Wilson

In this existential episode with best-selling author and renegade Sarah Wilson, you'll take part in an uphill bike ride while exploding on the inside, hitch-hike with randoms in Greece, and find the curious in almost everything - even if it is as dark as the fall of civilisation. 

On the menu is; a life-saving bowl of chicken curry in Vietnam, a bowl of rice for a playground friend, and dried fluffy figs out of a pocket.

I just don't know how music works. I can't read music. I don't even know a single scale. And that's how I like it. - Jack Savoretti 

If you’re a music fan (and aren't we all?!) you’re gonna love this episode with the fabulous singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti where we discover the ins-n-outs of the; double-double animal-style burger, why the pesto in Portofino is the best along with the Savoretti secret recipe, how to make a Bob Dylan song your own, and where to get the best potato and onion dish you never knew you needed at 10am in the morning.  

War Child is Jack’s social cause, he says the fact that children are caught up in conflicts is something we should all be ashamed of.  Children in war bear a heavy burden of stress that doesn't cease to exist when they reach safety. To address this unseen crisis, War Child is developing a system of care with children and youth at the very centre. You can get involved or find out more here - warchild.net

“I’m chaos” - Maggie Beer 

Cook, food author, restaurateur, entrepreneur, public figure, and champion of Australia’s ageing population Maggie Beer AO epitomises life force.

After a miraculous recovery from a life-threatening fall, she continues to be a huge part of our great culinary Australian story.

In this episode, Savva joins Maggie at her home in the Barossa Valley while the scent of dampened fig and persimmon trees and the songs of magpies and currawongs travel through the door. 

Their conversation travels through her 53 years in South Australia, her influence in Australian society, the early days of meeting her husband Colin and their successful businesses and marriage, her daughter Saskia’s legacy, and her enduring relationship with Stephanie Alexander, plus so much more. 

Maggie's social cause is the maggiebeerfoundation.org.au that delivers education and training to improve the dining, food, and nutritional outcomes for older people in Aged Care.  This education program offers support to Providers, Homes, Cooks and Chefs in a range of activities - you can find out more at the website listed above.

“From my teenage years to my mid-twenties, I was in a cult. I know what it is like to be told this is what you think, you can’t argue outside of this.” - Deborah Frances-White 

Deborah first appeared on Three Food Memories in mid 2022, where she gave Savva invaluable advice that galvanised TFM's foundation, to create a community where everybody belongs. 

She's back as her latest book Six Conversations We're Scared to Have drops around the world, and she shares why these conversations need to be had, a new food memory of Syrian Chicken Kabsa, and how people can come together even if they're from polar opposite spectrums of the universe.
