Join Maeve O'Meara and Melbourne chef Guy Grossi in an Australian-wide celebration of traditional Italian food and culture.

Italian Food Safari celebrates the incredible breadth and hard work of the Italians who settled in Australia over a generation ago and who have kept their food traditions intact. Food explorer Maeve O'Meara and legendary Melbourne chef Guy Grossi spend time with Australia's top Italian chefs and producers celebrating Italian culinary masterpieces alongside beautiful rustic family favorites.

Italian Food Safari is the much-awaited next feast in the beautiful Food Safari series - a celebration of the incredible breadth and hard work of the Italians who came and settled in Australia over a generation ago and have kept their food traditions intact. Mercifully, they've shared their food and culture with the rest of us - and we've been delighted to embrace everything from classic dishes to the most rustic home-style food. The series celebrates traditions handed down through the centuries, some of which are practised more fervently in Australia than back home in Italy where tomato sauces, sausage making, olive curing, cheese-making and other time-honoured recipes can still vary from region to region, even village to village. Some of the world's most celebrated Italian culinary masterpieces feature alongside beautiful rustic family favourites.
