    About this Episode

    What a wonderful treat it is to have former Australian Idol winner Damien Leith as our special guest on the Food Bytes podcast this week.

    From the adventures of breakfast radio to going back on tour, Damien takes us through his amazing journey since the Idol days, and talks about the joy of reconnecting with fans, post-pandemic.

    Damien’s a bit of a whiz in the kitchen and does much of the cooking at home, but (shock, horror!) we learn he’s not a fan of cheese!

    And we’ve got the sweet route again in the Friday Food Poll. What’s your view on tiramisu?

    We also talk about life, his love of dark chocolate and how he shapes up as a cook (you’re going to love his kitchen tip!)

    Jane Holmes

    Jane Holmes

    What a delightful way to finish 2023 with well known and loved radio personality Jane Holmes. Is Jane as skilled in the kitchen as she has been on the radio during her illustrious  career? What have been the highlights and what has she got planned for the future? All these questions  and more answered in this very engaging chat. 

    And the food poll puts the chickens out to roast rather than roost and asks which supermarket poultry is your preferred- Woolies or Coles? 

    A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Kev & Sarah.
