Such is his popularity, dessert maestro Adriano Zumbo pops up everywhere from The Cook Up with Adam Liaw on SBS to MasterChef, and we are delighted to say he pops up this week on Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson. 

Adriano shares memories of his childhood - where he really was the kid in the lolly shop. While his desserts might be out of this world, Adriano is very down to earth and he tells us that, after a long day slaving away over his spectacular creations, he loves nothing more than a Zooper Dooper or plate of Potato Gems.

The Food Poll this week is Paella. Are you voting Si or No, Gracias?

Peter Fisher was part of one of Australia's most successful TV comedy shows. And even though Kingswood Country finished over 40 years ago, people still remember him for his role. But as you will discover in this week's episode, there is much more to Peter's life than playing Craig Bullpitt. 

Peter took his acting skills and training to the corporate world with great success. He loves the kitchen with a passion and has also turned his talents to woodwork, creating his own range of chopping boards and kitchen utensils. A man of many talents. Peter shares some wonderful memories from his early career and the Kingswood Country days, including the hilarious appearance of Graham Kennedy.

In her competitive days as an Australian Olympic snowboarder, Steph Hickey was accustomed to speeding across the snow at 60kph risking life and limb in the pursuit of Gold, so the leisurely pace of Food Bytes is a walk in the park!

Steph is part of Nine's Wide World of Sports coverage of the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games and shares what it's like inside the athletes' village and her thoughts on our best Aussie medal chances.

The Food Poll takes us to the north of the mother country for a traditional Yorkshire pudding. Are you an aye or a nay?
