About the Team
Maeve has worked as Food Editor on major Australian magazines and can be heard regularly on radio talking about her favourite subject. Nine years ago she created a successful food adventure company Gourmet Safaris which runs a range of tours in Sydney, Australia and overseas. The idea for the Food Safari television show was based on hearing the many questions being asked on her safaris - what ingredients to buy and how to cook with them. Making the series and filming many close friends, across many nationalities has been the realisation of a dream.
Series producer and director, Toufic Charabati is an award winning producer and editor. He's worked at SBS, Channel Nine and ABC TV. He spent 3 years as series producer of the acclaimed The Food Lovers’ Guide to Australia, producing two series. Series Four won the World Food Media Awards Gold Ladle for Best Food TV Program (Long Form) in 2005. Other programs Toufic has worked on include Fork in the Road and Pizza, both for SBS. He holds an Arts degree, studied cinematography, and has won awards for his work in documentaries and current affairs.
