Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson

In the lead up to the Paris Games, Olympic gold medallist Michelle Ford joins us on the Food Bytes podcast this week for a fascinating chat about the highs and lows of life as a professional swimmer.

The 1980 Moscow Olympics were always going to be political. With athletes strongly advised not to go, Michelle opens up about the pressure of being a teenager with a huge decision to make.

We also talk about Michelle’s life in Switzerland, the joys of Swiss chocolate, her newly-released book Turning The Tide … and her steady childhood diet of hot chips and vanilla slices!

Our Food Poll this week features a classic bikkie barrel battle between Monte Carlos and Delta Creams.

Ann-Maree Biggar was – and as far as we’re concerned, still is – a superstar. She is also one of the warmest, most down to earth and funniest guests we’ve ever had on our show.

As a mum and a teacher, Ann-Maree’s life today is about as far removed from TV as you can get, but she was only too happy to take a trip down memory lane and share with us some hilarious tales of her days hosting Agro’s Cartoon Connection.

We also chat about food, family life and the portrayal of older women on TV.

Our Food Poll this week is a spud fest, with roast potatoes up against the jacket variety.
