Three Food Memories

By: Savva Savas
  • Summary

  • The things you find out when you ask people about their food memories can be soulful, spicy, sensational, sour, and often 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!)

    **A Greek and English swear warning in this episode***

    If you’ve watched or listened to Australian prime-time news any time in the last 30 years, it’s likely you’ll recognise the face and voice of our guest in this episode of Three Food Memories.

    And if you’ve watched social media at any time in your life, it's likely you'll have heard her swearing in Greek too.

    Chris Bath has been in the media since 1988, but it was working as a waitress in a Surry Hills restaurant (that later turned into a leather bar) that brought her to our screens.

    Direct from her Bird-Nerd Farm in the lower Hunter Valley, hear how growing up with Maltese mates fuelled a desire to see (and eat) the world, how mutual love of a spicy condiment made her fall in love with her husband Jim, the truth behind the infamous Greek swearing that went viral…and how the phrase became useful later on!

    Bathie’s social cause is Birdlife Australia - you can find out more here: birdlife.org.au

    A risotto with farm greens is on it’s way to our next guest (coming soon in Season 6)

    We'll be back October 1 - put it in your diaries!

  • Deborah Cheetham Fraillon AO, soprano, composer, artistic director
    Aug 27 2024

    In this episode of Three Food Memories we’re graced with a voice that is nothing short of sublime - it is as beautiful as it is haunting, and resonant with the echoes of a thousand ancestral stories.

    Deborah Cheetham Fraillon AO, is a luminous star in the constellation of classical music — an opera singer, composer, artistic director, and professor. Music runs in the family, she’s the niece of music legend Jimmy Little and her grandfather was a talented gum leaf player, who performed at the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

    Hear Deborah’s musings on the restorative benefits of chicken soup, how seeing Dame Joan Sutherland perform in The Merry Widow as a school kid completely changed her life, what it was like to connect with her Aboriginal heritage and the joy of finding her biological family, competitive Christmas trifle making, and how Bar Italia in Leichardt may receive an operetta in it’s name one day soon.

    Deborah’s social cause is truth telling - she believes it’s the foundation of any society that’s going to remain cohesive. She says “the truth makes us stronger, even if it causes us pain in the moment of knowing”.

    She pays forward a steak with red wine jus, asparagus and creamy mash to our next guest Chris Bath.

  • Tom Sainsbury, comedian, actor & director
    Aug 19 2024

    In this episode of Three Food Memories you’ll meet the snazzy, jazzy creator of social media hit sensations; Boomer Dad, drag queen Satty Faction, 80s mum, Dion the policeman, and 90s intermediate school kid. He’s also the writer, director and lead star in horror movie Loop Track, as well as the writer and creator (and ALL the character voices) in the comedy crime podcast Small Town Scandal.

    As they say on his side of the pond: Thomas Sainsbury is a “hard case”. He's also got the biggest sweet tooth in all of New Zealand, going by the amount of Cadbury Creme Eggs he demolished as a youth.

    Tom’s social cause is SAFE - New Zealand’s leading animal rights charity, and he passes forward vegan lasagne to our next guest.

    You can catch him in September performing in The Children of Secret Valley.
