Dr Joanna McMillan is a PHD qualified nutritional scientist, dietician and heath and wellbeing expert, but the self-confessed science nerd is a breath of fresh air because she talks about food in a way we can all understand and relate to.

A television and radio favourite, Joanna chats about her early years growing up on a Scottish farm, the importance of good gut health and the real story behind our coffee habits.

Looking after ourselves and the planet at the same time is Joanna's passion and she shares her thoughts and philosophies on some of the easiest ways to achieve both these goals, including making the best choices when buying seafood.

Joanna's dream dinner party guest list is a stunner, as is her kitchen tip and she reveals the truth behind her popular My Day on a Plate newspaper column.

The Food Bytes Food Poll this week spotlights the humble pea in all its cooked and raw glory. Do these green balls of flavour get the tick or the flick?

Analiese Gregory is living the dream - her dream - and it involves many personal and professional challenges that most of us would baulk at.

When we first spoke to Analiese nearly four years ago, she was beginning her new life in Tasmania, not knowing what was ahead or whether she would stay or go. She stayed, as we will all see in the new season of her television series - A Girl's Guide to Hunting, Fishing and Wild Cooking (SBS on Demand, SBS Food).

Analiese shares the highs and lows of her adventure, including the moments of doubt and her plans for the future.

Our Food Poll this week is another savoury v sweet choice. Are you a cheese and chive or blueberry muffin kind of person?

You will meet few people with a greater passion for food, cooking, shopping and sharing than our guest this week, social media sensation Steph De Sousa.

Steph shares her experiences in the MasterChef kitchen, which helped steer her to her happy place - her kitchen in her house (conveniently located above an Aldi supermarket) where she reigns as the Easy Dinner Queen, creating budget conscious, simple but very tasty meals for the family.

There are no smoke and mirrors with Steph but there are Air Fryers, shopping lists and practical tips on food waste and much more.

Our Food Poll this week is typically controversial, so hang onto your shellfish - are you a fan of Oysters Kilpatrick?
