A Moveable Feast

A quirky culinary road trip around the most celebrated food and wine regions of Australia

Take one 1961 convertible EK Holden named Edna, stir in a snippet of home-cook hero and a dollop of spice expert, set on the road around some of Australia's most stunning food and wine regions and voila – Lyndey & Herbie's Moveable Feast.

Lyndey Milan is joined by her long-term friend Ian “Herbie” Hemphill to take a culinary road trip in Edna, through Queensland, northern and southern NSW and on to Tasmania revealing not only the ingredients to cook but also the colourful characters and ideas that inspire them.

The show debuts on 7TWO on Saturday 7th February with eight half hour episodes featuring the dynamic duo's adventures in Byron, the Sunshine Coast, Riverina, Tasmania and the Hawkesbury.

Lyndey comments, “We follow the journey of food from farm to table observing not only the primary products and processes but the people. The majesty of Australia is our backdrop from the tropical north to the brown, open spaces of the west we encounter spectacular scenery and fascinating hospitable characters. The fun starts when we transform their superb produce by cooking with the addition of spice – remembering that most spices are not hot.”

Here are a few highlights:

From bush tucker to talking turkey the pair discover the beauty of Byron Bay, eat local macadamias, collect coffee beans, and unwind at Olivia Newton John's spectacular retreat, Gaia.

On Queensland's Sunshine Coast the focus is on agriculture, ballroom dancing and Wagyu beef and there's an extended visit to the local snail farm.

The Riverina food bowl in NSW serves up an eclectic mix of citrus, flavoursome capers, world class wineries and walnuts perfectly suited to Lyndey's divine walnut cake.

In the Hawkesbury the gastronomes trawl for prawns and dig in to fresh yabby tails right on the river then visit a farm for a side dish of micro herbs and salad leaves.

Tasmania beckons in the final episode where gnocchi is served with nettles and the discovery of a native pepper makes for a chocolate brownie with real bite.

Lyndey and Herbie's Moveable Feast premieres on 7TWO from Saturday 7 February at 2.30pm (8 episodes X 30 minutes)
