"There's no health and safety in an ethnic house" - Joe Avati

On comedian Joe Avati's menu: making tomato sauce with the cousins, a three carat cake (no, that's not a typo), and fresh seafood in Spain.

Sides include: growing up Italo-Australian, bung-eyes, and funny memories of his brother Antonio who would have turned 50 this year.

Joe's social cause is the Kidney Foundation, his brother Antonio surviving until 42 years after having three kidney transplants during his life. The Kidney Foundation is the peak national body championing kidney disease prevention, early detection, and comprehensive patient care. They support the 1.7 million Australians affected by kidney disease by funding research, managing specialised holiday dialysis buses, offering peer support, and operating a free health professional helpline.

"When we were plating President Biden's food up the Secret Service swapped out the plate to make sure no one was trying to kill him off." - Emily Scott

On Emily's menu: fresh peaches in France with Papa, cooking with Ma, and restaurant life.

Sides include: cooking for the Queen and ticking the "Mother Box", life by the sea, and the ups and downs of running your own business.

Emily's social cause is the Marine Stewardship Council - an international non-profit organisation on a mission to stop overfishing. When you buy fish and seafood with the blue MSC ecolabel, you're helping to protect our oceans and driving change above and below the water.

Emily's books, Sea & Shore, Time & Tide and Home Shores, are a beautiful celebration of food, story and the coast she calls home.

For our Aussie listeners, keep an eye out for Emily at writers' festivals around the country in 2027
