Ita Buttrose AC, OBE (TFM LIVE)

“I mean the media is a tough ground. People swear, including me.”This extraordinary episode of Three Food Memories celebrates media doyenne, Ita Buttrose AC, OBE. Recorded at The Neilson auditorium at the Australian Chamber Orchestra for Savva’s 50th birthday party, Ita shares incredible insights from her trail-blazing eight decades.We start the food journey at Watson’s Bay with her father as a child, voyage through the Rockies on the glass roofed Rocky Mountaineer with her husband Alisdair, and find out the cheesy secrets behind a $3000 chicken dish in Townsville, which she also passes forward to our next guest, Australian astronaut Katherine Bennell-Pegg.Along the way we hear from special guest Beryl Lane, a life-long Ita-ite who travelled to Sydney especially for the event, and who shared why Ita was so important to women in regional Australia.Ita is an ambassador for the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation, which is Australia's oldest HIV charity and provides support to anyone having difficulty living with HIV, physically, emotionally, or financially. Poignant, thoughtful, and thoroughly funny, this is an episode not to be missed. Send us Fan MailTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at [email protected], we'd love to hear from you!  TFM is produced and edited by Lauren McWhirter with original music by Russell Torrance.
