“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.

This episode was recorded on the 9th April 2025

Happy Easter!!! (How's the sugar rush coming on?!)

Here is something to make your day egg-stra special. Yes we did just use that terrible pun. Sorry, not sorry...

A trio of bum-nut delight coming your way with;

-- Kiwi comedian Thomas Sainsbury, who shares how he sneakily devoured a few dozen Cadbury Creme Eggs in a very short period of time without managing to chuck it all back up again

-- Rewilder and author Gina Chick, who reminisces about Jervis Bay adventures boating with her family and lunching on egg sandwiches washed down with Tang

-- And comedian Christian Hull, who divulges how exploding eggs all over his kitchen is not something you want to try twice

Jonathon Moran tells it like it is, asks Savva how he juggles fatherhood, his catering business, as well as creating and hosting a successful podcast, to which Savva replies to all of this and also explains why he keeps needles handy around his children, which is as strange as it sounds.
