Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson

Katie Jayne is a rising country music artist and an early rising breakfast radio personality, but somehow she manages to fit a Food Bytes appearance into her full-on schedule. When not belting our original songs live on stage across the country or waking up the good folk of Muswellbrook on her Power FM radio show, Katie Jayne occassionally wanders into the kitchen to whip up delicious healthy meals. She made the decision to give up the grog a few years back and takes us through that experience and the impact on and off stage, including her new project: an album of drinking songs about NOT drinking.     The Food Poll this week has no meat, just potatoes. It's the complete hot chip conundrum: Would you choose crinkle cut, shoestring fries or thick cut chips?    Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson and 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 Producer - Christopher Gates  © 2026 Howdy Partners MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They are a dynamic culinary combination: Manu & Clarissa Feildel have taken their kitchen chemistry and put it on the pages of their new book Butter and Spice (Are Media Books) and they share it with us this week.  Their life together is one big food-filled adventure. We delve into what they grew up eating, what is on the table now and who is the boss in the Feildel kitchen.  You will be introduced to a new cuisine: 'Frasian.'  The Food Poll is a mini World Culinary Cup. Of these four cuisines, which would you rate the highest: Greek, Italian, Japanese or Mexican?  Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson and 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 Producer - Christopher Gates  © 2026 Howdy Partners MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Conor Curran is back, and he's brought his fabulous cookbook 'Eat More Greek' (Murdoch Books) along with him. While the name Conor Curran does not appear very Greek, growing up, his grandma - better known as YiaYia - helped shape his culinary choices. Conor shares some of his favourites dishes from childhood and from the book, plus we revisit his MasterChef experience. In the five years since we spoke, Conor has built a big following on social media and honing his skills as a mixologist. We get the rundown on some special Greek-style cocktails.   We are not raising the bar this week for the Food Poll, we are opening it to ask whether your preference is red or white wine.  Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson and 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 Producer - Christopher Gates  © 2026 Howdy Partners MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Todd McKenney is the ultimate all-round entertainer. He treads the boards, hosts TV and radio shows and as we discover in this episode, Todd can knock up a pretty handy dinner party in his swanky new kitchen with his you-beaut speed oven. The boy from WA became the Boy from Oz and that role - plus his part in making Dancing with the Stars a television blockbuster - has allowed Todd to take his popular one-man show to venues across the country. Check out his website http://www.toddmckenney.com.au/ for the latest touring dates.  Todd shares how his career started, his love of greyhounds, the one place he doesn't feel totally comfortable and his dream dinner party guests.  It's a fizzy, bubbly, refreshing, liquid Food Poll this week as we pop the top of a sarsaparilla or a creaming soda and ask in a very deep Australian, masculine non-AI voice the question: And the best cold drink is a ...?      Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson and 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 Producer - Christopher Gates  © 2026 Howdy Partners MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adam Liaw returns to Food Bytes armed with news of his latest television show and it's a ripper. Australia's Greatest Recipe premieres this week on ABC TV and iView and it has all the ingredients for success, including participation from the time-honoured Country Women's Association.  Adam shares his favourite recipe and takes us inside the new show which he co-hosts with Pia Miranda. We also reveal Adam's sweet tooth secret and reflect on his booming media career.     This week's Food Poll is easier than shelling peas or shucking corn. No labour required, just a simple choice of these vegetable favourites: peas or corn.      Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson and 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 Producer - Christopher Gates  © 2026 Howdy Partners MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
