Palisa Anderson's Water Heart Food

Palisa explores her passion for cooking with seasonal and local produce; she catches up with two chefs who share this passion - food author Christine Manfield and Peter Gilmore of Quay Restaurant.

Palisa heads to Sydney’s Thai Town to meet up with two old friends, Ari Walpole and Mahalia Barnes, who share similar experiences to her of growing up as second-generation Australians.

Palisa meets two well-known Sydney chefs - Paul Carmichael and Martin Boetz - to explore how cuisines from different countries can mingle and influence each other.

Palisa visits two well-known Byron chefs - Ben Devlin & Jason Saxby - to explore the idea of combining traditional cooking methods with the use of the local ingredients.

Palisa explores the native ingredients available around Byron, collecting pipis with local indigenous lady Arabella and tasting a fish dish with emu egg Thermidor sauce, cooked by chef Josh Lewis.
