In this episode of Three Food Memories you’ll meet Walkley-Award-winning journalist, broadcaster, and shared plate finger wiper Virginia Trioli.

Whether you’re watching, listening, or reading her work, Virginia exudes a familiarity that makes you feel like you’ve been invited to sit at her table and break bread.

This connection makes sense - given her passion for food, which is beautifully highlighted in her brand-new book, A Bit on the Side and her three food memories.

Virginia's menu features an array of firsts; her first-ever chicken satay, her first vongole veraci, and the very first meal her now-husband, Russell Skelton, cooked for her in Japan.

She also reflects on her time spent hosting ABC News Breakfast and what’s stuck in her very well organised childhood scrapbook and why she still treasures it to this day.

Virginia’s social cause is homelessness, which she says is not just about a lack of shelter.

She serves forth ricotta gnocchi to our next guest DJ Fat Tony.

“I regard flirtation as the lubricant that allows the world to spin on its axis.”
So says Tom Read Wilson, in this episode of Three Food Memories.

Tom reminisces about toothsome food memories including; being fed fiery chillis as a toddler by his Thai godmother, Granny’s Tarte Tatin, Daddy’s Packawallop curries, and Mummy’s Sunday lunch.

A warning: there is also discussion about the origins of the c-bomb which is said in full a few times towards the end of the conversation - you have been warned.

Tom’s social cause is the Wildwood Trust, in particular the flagship wilding project ‘Blean bison’ that was launched in Blean woods near Canterbury.

P.s. it’s Savva’s birthday and Tom sings a ripping rendition of happy birthday for Savva, as well as finding out what Savva’s “dream dish” is. Enjoy!
