Conor Curran is back, and he's brought his fabulous cookbook 'Eat More Greek' (Murdoch Books) along with him.

While the name Conor Curran does not appear very Greek, growing up, his grandma - better known as YiaYia - helped shape his culinary choices.

Conor shares some of his favourites dishes from childhood and from the book, plus we revisit his MasterChef experience. In the five years since we spoke, Conor has built a big following on social media and honing his skills as a mixologist. We get the rundown on some special Greek-style cocktails.  

We are not raising the bar this week for the Food Poll, we are opening it to ask whether your preference is red or white wine.

Todd McKenney is the ultimate all-round entertainer. He treads the boards, hosts TV and radio shows and as we discover in this episode, Todd can knock up a pretty handy dinner party in his swanky new kitchen with his you-beaut speed oven.

The boy from WA became the Boy from Oz and that role - plus his part in making Dancing with the Stars a television blockbuster - has allowed Todd to take his popular one-man show to venues across the country. Check out his website http://www.toddmckenney.com.au/ for the latest touring dates. 

Todd shares how his career started, his love of greyhounds, the one place he doesn't feel totally comfortable and his dream dinner party guests. 

It's a fizzy, bubbly, refreshing, liquid Food Poll this week as we pop the top of a sarsaparilla or a creaming soda and ask in a very deep Australian, masculine non-AI voice the question: And the best cold drink is a ...?

Adam Liaw returns to Food Bytes armed with news of his latest television show and it's a ripper. Australia's Greatest Recipe premieres this week on ABC TV and iView and it has all the ingredients for success, including participation from the time-honoured Country Women's Association. 

Adam shares his favourite recipe and takes us inside the new show which he co-hosts with Pia Miranda. We also reveal Adam's sweet tooth secret and reflect on his booming media career.    

This week's Food Poll is easier than shelling peas or shucking corn. No labour required, just a simple choice of these vegetable favourites: peas or corn.

At the height of her swimming career, our guest this week Sam Riley won the hearts of the country as she powered her way to Olympic medals, Commonwealth Games glory, world records and world championships.

Sam chats to us about food, family, her memories of being an elite athlete on the world stage and her life today as a busy wife and mum.

And with the warmer weather on the way, Sam has a timely reminder about the importance of teaching kids to swim from a very early age.

Then we jump straight from the pool into the frying pan, with a hot topic for our Food Poll this week: Fried chicken ... yay or nay?
