Start your evenings with a heaping helping of culinary inspiration and Aussie charm, as Alice Zaslavsky returns with a week of new episodes of A Bite to Eat with Alice on ABC Australia and ABC iview. Airing weekdays at 5:00 PM AEST beginning Monday, 2 June, each installment features a fresh face from the Australian entertainment scene, ready to chop, chat, and expand their kitchen repertoire.
First up, comedian Nazeem Hussain joins Alice on Monday for a double-header of banana chocolate hotcakes and a spicy One Tray Korean Japchae. Tuesday brings author and chef Belinda Jeffery to the table, sharing her love for eggplant—Alice whips up a dip, while Belinda tackles a berry crostata.
Midweek sees actor and comedian Matt Okine trying his hand at stretching hand-pulled noodles on Wednesday, following Alice’s take on a classic burger. Thursday’s guest is celebrated Australian actor Nadine Garner, rethinking sausages while Alice prepares easy cheesy arancini. Finally, on Friday, poet, comedian, and self-proclaimed peanut enthusiast Anisa Nanduala samples Alice’s decadent slice before joining forces for a one-pot braised chicken dish—with Anisa introducing Alice to a Ugandan treat to close out the week.
As always, Zaslavsky mixes kitchen know-how with genuine curiosity—each episode finds her cooking a dish inspired by her guest, then teaming up for a collaborative creation. There’s also the usual dash of food-focused problem-solving, as Alice encourages her guests to push past their culinary comfort zones.
A Bite to Eat with Alice airs Monday to Friday at 5:00 PM AEST on ABC Australia and iView.
