SBS TV Thursday nights (Sydney) great food shows

[goldfish]

Thursday is my favourite night for TV - and for SBS . . 

for those who might be interested, this is the (food) line up for this coming Thursday (MARCH 14)
I try to record these, but if you miss them you can catch up on SBS on Demand for a limited time afterwards - not too sure how long they have them up for - but it could be just a week or so)    http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/about/

7:30 pm (Sydney) Food Safari - South Africa
 Maeve O'Meara explores the many cuisines that are part of South Africa’s culinary landscape. Cape Town-born chef Graeme Shapiro introduces Maeve to indigenous staples like mealie meal and the sweet-sour Cape Malay dishes that were a legacy of the spice traders. Another favourite comes from Philile Zwane who grew up in Kwa Zulu Natal where a samp (white corn) and beans dish known as umngqusho is a staple. Maeve also learns the secrets to the one-pot-wonder, the potjiekos, and finishes her journey with the sweetness of a malva pudding. (Commissioned by SBS) (Food Series) G CC

8:00 p.m. Gourmet Farmer
New Farm - Matthew Evans, the former food critic turned farmer, returns in a new season of Gourmet Farmer. Over the last few years, Matthew has discovered his small farm is too shady and too wet for most of the year, which has hindered his farming aspirations. Now Matthew is up-scaling. He has bought a new farm, 70 acres and 10 minutes away. There is a lot of work to be done; roads to build, fences to repair, and a poly-tunnel and smoker to build. All of this is part of Matthew's grand dream to produce and direct sell his own produce. (Commissioned by SBS) (Food Series) G CC

8:30 pm  Yotam Ottolenghi's Mediterranean Feasts
Tunisia - In one of North Africa's most popular holiday destinations, Yotam dines on the freshest fish, discovers the national obsession with fiery harissa paste, and samples spicy merguez sausages. Yotam's journey begins with a trip to an unusual open-air restaurant where he grills a red mullet platter accompanied by a celery salad, and a seafood pasta dish using fresh mussels, squid and luscious prawns. Yotam also finds a Jewish restaurant that serves their twist on Tunisian dishes and where he prepares succulent chicken and sweet corn meatballs. (From the UK) (Food Series (Part 3 of 4) G CC

I watch SBS a lot and always watch these. I really like Gourmet Farmer and see he is getting a new farm.
We've watched Peter Kurivita and Luke Nyngan (?)   I have really enjoyed the Yotam ones, I didn't think I would but they are great.

[Emme]

Many thanks for the reminder GF, will be watching

You're welcome, Chookie - your trip to Turkey sounds fabulous!  I think you'd enjoy the Istanbul episode (which I think is available on demand until March 21)

Cookie - I had the same initial feeling - but thoroughly enjoyed the programs.

Emme - you're welcome!  Hope you enjoy it all.

I had a feeling that a DVD, if not already available, might be soon . . . and guess what - here it is for preorder - release date 3rd April
 has 2 DVDs and also includes the Jerusalem episode.

Goldfish,  looked at the Istanbul episode,  wonderful.   Thanks for that.   We are doing a Captain's Choice Tour for 3 weeks,  then an additional week with a private tour guide.  We want time to check out the local markets and to do non touristy things.   The tour is called , Ancient Wonders of the Black Sea.   We are then off to Southern Spain for 2 weeks.   

you are a whizz at finding your way around the TV and computer.  Thanks for all that and for sharing.

And girls don't forget A&E at 9.30pm Thursday night. It's a Birdseye look into one of Britains biggest and busiest emergency depts. A real eye opener. Love it.

[Yvette]

Thanks GF I like Gourmet Farmer didn't realise it was on SBS

[Jamberie]

Thanks GF...I'll bet sure to watch...I'll have to do some recording as I am a little bit into My Kitchen Rules too

[mcmich]

They are some of my favourite food shows too GF. 

A&E makes me feel a bit queasy Kimmy. I'm getting worse the older I get. Don't know how I ever made it through my rotation in casualty (that's what we called it in the old days)

Mich, my sister worked in casualty for 6 years straight, till she quit nursing and had kids..
