Can I get a job with Maeve? I could think of nothing better than discussing and cooking food with people from all different nationalities - I'm open to try anything once. I love the way that the show uses real people who aren't afraid to show us how to without guarding their secrets. My only grizzle is that the show isn't on for long enough and some segments are a bit too brief.
Food safari has open my mind and kitchen to alot of diiferent foods I would never have tried before, plus showing me the cultures and country as well
'One of the most interesting food series of them all: exotic food cooked by exotic people made in indigenous land, Australia that is! This means we are always able to find every ingredient we need at the local grocery. It's really the best way to try that at home and find something different, and more exciting, of three vegies and meat or pizza take away. It gives us the fever of discovering and exploring the (sometime) unknown. The only slight let down the too many 'wow' and 'yum' by Maeve in every given episode: I would just edit some of them, just to be less cheesy. But she's nice.'
these shows express how culture within Australia had diversified and progressed in the 21st century with the changes that have evolved within Australia. they are great user friendly resources for teachers!! thanks maeve
Real cooking plus more. Shows different cultures, ways of life and tricks of the trade. Is fun to watch and learn. I love Maeve, her sense of humor and as a presenter she is tops.
This series was an excellent introduction to the multicultural cuisines of modern Australia. Living in rural NSW I do not have access to restaurants featuring myriad different cuisines, so I value this series for the opportunities to cook these foods in my own home.
If anyone from any walk of life would like to cook anything, this is the show to watch!! A showcase of cuisine, lifesyle and tradition of many families warms the inner self to know that Australia is the best place on earth. We have every cuisine imaginable at our fingertips. An essential tool for anyone who wants to great food, wants to further their skills or just learn how the half live. Watch and enjoy!!
I love Food Safari because its about more than just the food. Maeve and her guests really hit the nail on the head with regard to what the staples and signatures of these cuisines say about the culture. And I always learn somthting - even in the episodes thst looked at my own cultural heritage! In the words of Maeve, "Mmmmmm...."
Excellent series. Maeve discovers the terrific secret recipes of many cultures passed down the generations. The dishes are cooked in the household kitchen and easy to follow.
I loved the series - never missed it! I cant wait for the next series. Travel and food - my perfect combo :)
