Episodes 2
And Tasty
Growing up in a small country town, Myf thought dinner at the local Chinese restaurant was the most exotic culinary experience possible. With hindsight she realises a lot of our earlier food experiences weren't exactly authentic - but they were... 'nice'. In Nice and Tasty, Myf explores Australia's recent food past. Are we ashamed of our national foods and if so why? Is there more to the food in the bain-marie of our local takeaway than we think? Along the way Myf chats to culinary icons including everyone from Peter Russell-Clarke to Matt Preston. She learns how to cook a dimmy and attempts to track down the elusive chiko roll chick from posters of her childhood. This episode also features interviews with regular chef from GMA Elizabeth Chong, advertising CEO and regular on Gruen Planet Russel Howcroft, Peter McEncroe - the son of Frank McEncroe, the man who gave us the Chiko Roll, and one of Australia's most acclaimed chefs Shannon Bennet.

Most of us have a family portrait - a moment in time frozen forever staring down at you from your parents' wall. And even though they're invariably dated and often awkward - there's still something... 'nice' about them. In Nice and Snappy, Myf embarks on a journey to examine more closely these often overlooked loungeroom staples. Along the way she talks to one of the world's most renowned portrait photographers, Douglas Kirkland; sits for a school photo; and attempts to track down the man who took her family portrait 35 years ago. Can she coax him out of retirement to photograph her family once more? Also features interviews with comedian and friend Adam Hills; assistant curator at the National Portrait Gallery, Joanna Gilmour; photographer Stephen Dupont; school photographer Tim Miller; and Myf's big brother, Kit.
