this is my favourite show, you learn how to cook fabulous recipes and also learn about traditions and different cultures, it is truly amazing well done joanna and maeve, keep up the good work we love watching the show.
Really love this show. Learned a lot about history of food, not just how to cook them. Good promotion about Australia too. Does anyone know where I can get the DVD's of any of FLGA series? SBS and Dymocks don't sell them anymore? Lifestyle people please help.
I love the intro graphics to the show and it is a pity that the rich lush pictures and recipes etc shown as the show begins its introduction are not the way the webpage is designed. It is inviting and interesting. I think more interraction with the hosts would be good to make it feel like we are being invited into our multicultural families food cultures etc
this is a really good show, i love the different foods they have on
