A Bite to Eat With Alice looks set to offer another week of culinary adventures, with Alice Zaslavsky welcoming a diverse group of guests to her kitchen. From mushroom noodles to a kid-friendly veggie challenge, the show offers something for every palate.
Kicking things off on Monday, December 23, is journalist and broadcaster Marc Fennell. He and Alice will tackle soy-infused mushroom noodles. Alice also plans to surprise Marc with a dish featuring spicy chili baked almonds and marinated olives – because who doesn’t love a culinary curveball? Don’t expect your average take-out noodles here, folks.
Tuesday, December 24, sees Australian food icon Stephanie Alexander join Alice. They’ll be focusing on Alexander’s renowned potato recipe – a classic for a reason. Alice will also whip up a lemon verbena cordial and a unique take on sausage rolls: porcupine sausage polpette with tomato soup. It’s a safe bet this episode will be more comforting than your average holiday rerun.
Actress Lucy Durack brings bananas to the table on Thursday, December 26, inspiring Alice to create mini banoffee cups. Durack will then challenge Alice to devise a vegetable-heavy dish appealing to even the pickiest of children. Can Alice pull off this culinary magic trick? Tune in to find out.
Finally, on Friday, December 27, actress Miah Madden arrives with fresh sage, joining Alice for a session of pumpkin gnocchi making. Alice will also attempt to reinvent the classic apple pie. This week of “A Bite to Eat” feels like a holiday gift basket – a little something for everyone, even if you’re just a casual kitchen observer.
A Bite to Eat With Alice airs Monday, December 23, through Friday, December 27, at 6:00pm on ABC Australia and ABC Australia iview.
