Overview: Growing up in a small country town, Myf thought dinner at the local Chinese restaurant was the most exotic culinary experience possible. With hindsight she realises a lot of our earlier food experiences weren't exactly authentic - but they were... 'nice'. In Nice and Tasty, Myf explores Australia's recent food past. Are we ashamed of our national foods and if so why? Is there more to the food in the bain-marie of our local takeaway than we think? Along the way Myf chats to culinary icons including everyone from Peter Russell-Clarke to Matt Preston. She learns how to cook a dimmy and attempts to track down the elusive chiko roll chick from posters of her childhood. This episode also features interviews with regular chef from GMA Elizabeth Chong, advertising CEO and regular on Gruen Planet Russel Howcroft, Peter McEncroe - the son of Frank McEncroe, the man who gave us the Chiko Roll, and one of Australia's most acclaimed chefs Shannon Bennet. |
