Former Australian Test cricketer Len Pascoe is our special guest on the Food Bytes podcast this week.

Len shares memories of his Macedonian heritage – from rustic plum whiskey to school lunches of home-made bread, olives and feta – and regales us with tales from his stellar cricket career.

If you loved the rockstar days of World Series Cricket, free McDonald’s posters and eighties nostalgia, you won’t want to miss this.

This week’s Friday Food Poll debates the merits of fruit cake … is it a yay or a nay?

It’s all thanks to our wonderful friends at Cheeselinks

Elizabeth Hewson is a wearer of many aprons - home cook, recipe writer, columnist, wife, mother and author of the beautiful and practical new book 'Home Food' (Murdoch Books).

Elizabeth's food philosophy is easy to understand and achievable because, as she says,  sometimes dinner just needs to be dinner, not a Hollywood production with bells, whistles, oohs and ahhhs, but comfort food that embraces the imperfection, the mess and the reality of our modern lives. Elizabeth shares her two secret ingredients and even works the old BBQ chook into the show.     

Recent show guest Danny McGinlay inspired this week's Food Poll: it's a toastie up against the jaffle.

You can't help but like Danny McGinlay. Not only is he funny, clever, smart (and punctual), he smells good - even on radio and podcasts. One of the hardest-working comedians on the circuit, Danny does it all, from The Front Bar to his Comedy Festival shows, the Danny/ Boyd Bulldogs podcast and his infamous AFL match day banners, his performing plate is always full, but what about the ones in the McGinlay kitchen?

Danny's love of a baked bean jaffle is no laughing matter and his cooking tip highlights a much underrated chicken option. 

As well as conducting his own private Twisties poll, Danny has some thoughts on our Food Poll this week as we ask for a yay or nay on cottage cheese.

Luke Darcy is a Western Bulldogs star in his own right and a former high profile media star to boot. These days though, it is being dad to the AFL's hottest property - Sam Darcy - that is shaping his media appearances. But wait, there's more. Sam's eighteen year old brother Will has been drafted to the red, white and blue as well.

Food Bytes dragged Luke away from his parental duties to chat about his life, his dubious kitchen skills, the food that is his kyrptonite and a media career that crossed paths with Sarah's in the early hours of weekday mornings on Triple M's Hot Breakfast with Eddie McGuire, where even the coffee was special. 

This week the Food Poll is a Scroll Poll with coffee, custard, cinnamon and cheeseymite scrolls vying for their 'pick me' moment. Which would you choose?
