    Emily Scott, chef, restaurateur and author

    2026/06/29 | 59 mins.
    "When we were plating President Biden's food up the Secret Service swapped out the plate to make sure no one was trying to kill him off." - Emily Scott 

    On Emily's menu: fresh peaches in France with Papa, cooking with Ma, and restaurant life. 
    Sides include: cooking for the Queen and ticking the "Mother Box", life by the sea, and the ups and downs of running your own business. 
    Emily's social cause is the Marine Stewardship Council - an international non-profit organisation on a mission to stop overfishing. When you buy fish and seafood with the blue MSC ecolabel, you're helping to protect our oceans and driving change above and below the water.
    Emily's books, Sea & Shore, Time & Tide and Home Shores, are a beautiful celebration of food, story and the coast she calls home. 
    For our Aussie listeners, keep an eye out for Emily at writers' festivals around the country in 2027

    Johanna Griggs, TV presenter Better Homes and Gardens

    2026/06/20 | 1h 8 mins.
    "We have celiacs, sugar-free, vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and absolute carnivores in the family. When I'm cooking for say 34 on Christmas day, I'm making a range of different dishes. It's amazing how if you put a bit of planning into it, how easy it is to be able to feed all those people" - Johanna Griggs AM 
    On the menu: Nanna's lemon sponge, cooking en masse, and all the Better Homes and Gardens goodness. 
    Sides include: random hitchhikers, being a world class swimmer, roadtrips with Karen Martini and hubby Todd (who she wooed for 6 months with dinner parties just for him). 
    Joh's social cause is Beyond Blue - Joh has been the longest serving Director on their current board. Beyond Blue's vision is that all people in Australia achieve their best possible mental health. They work with the community to improve mental health and make it easier for people to feel better earlier, get well and stay well. To speak to a counsellor call 1300 22 46 36, for more information online: beyondblue.org.au.

About Three Food Memories
The things you find out when you ask people about their food memories can be soulful, spicy, sensational, sour, and sublime. Often you'll discover something you never knew about the person you asked - and this is what the Three Food Memories podcast is about, how every food memory is linked to a moment in time. Three Food Memories is hosted by Savva Savas, dad of twin boys, entrepreneur, caterer, and creator. In each episode Savva chats with a guest who shares three food memories and a social cause close to their heart, revealing far more about themselves than what they’ve tasted.Be prepared for some hilarious and otherwise never-heard-before stories, and if you love listening - please tell your friends (and like, subscribe, and follow for all the goodness!)
