ABOUT FOOD SAFARI
Food Safari takes you on a culinary globetrot across Australia. Producer, presenter Maeve O'Meara, has spent most of her life seeking out great food, recipes and the clever people who make simple ingredients sing. Her access-all-areas camaraderie with everyone from three-hat chefs to passionate home-cooks results in a series that feeds food enthusiasts’ desire for insider knowledge.

SERIES PRESENTER / PRODUCER
Maeve O’Meara is an award-winning television food presenter and author (Food Lovers' Guide to Australia, Better Homes and Gardens, SBS Eating Guides to Sydney and Melbourne). Maeve has spent the last 15 years exploring the many cuisines that make our Australian culinary scene so vibrant. Maeve says: "Many of the chefs and cooks appearing are my old friends, so as a viewer you feel like you get a kiss on both cheeks as you pull up a chair to learn some great recipes and tips."

Maeve has spent her life collecting recipes, from her early days baking with her grandmother to her in-depth exploration of the many cuisines around the world. Her expertise as food editor in major magazines, television food presenter and cookbook author - combined with a passion for food - make her an engaging and knowledgeable host. The idea for the series came from Maeve’s food adventure business Gourmet Safaris and observing what people most want to know: the basics.
