Lyndey Milan's Taste of Australia on 7TWO Sundays at 1.30pm (EST)
  

Australia’s much-loved food personality, Lyndey Milan has returned to television with a series close to her heart. Lyndey, who was recently awarded an OAM for services to the Australian food and wine industry, is once again on the hunt for the best food, wine and fun on offer – this time in her own backyard.
 

Over 14 episodes, Lyndey Milan’s Taste of Australia explores the characters, places and pastures which make up the backbone of Australia’s thriving culinary culture.
 

Lyndey, whose previous series have seen her travel to Greece and Ireland, has forged a career championing regional produce and this series sees the vivacious TV cook at her best as she unearths some of the finest Australian food, wine and producer stories.
 

“Australian food is so diverse that often people don’t know what we grow here. There are very few countries where you can visit a wagyu farm, hand milk salmon, ride a camel along the beach and then enjoy a fabulous meal accompanied by a glass of local wine,” says Lyndey.
 

“To me, it is this diversity which defines the Australian food industry and that’s what this series is all about,” adds Lyndey.
 

In addition to stunning backdrops and plates of lusciously tempting food, Lyndey also meets some familiar faces along her travels.
 

Rick Stein, Neil Perry, Maggie Beer, Pete Evans and Tetsuya Wakuda are just some of the faces that crop up throughout the program in addition to a plethora of food producers and wine-makers.
 

And while the series seeks to showcase some of the country’s hidden gems, it also pays homage to experiences that are true blue through and through such as wood chopping at the Sydney Royal Easter Show and boot scootin’ at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
 

Whether fishing, foraging for mushrooms or snail farming, Lyndey’s passion for Australian food and produce is contagious. This 14 part series explores the best the sunburnt country has to offer from traditional, Aboriginal native foods to refined contemporary classics as seen through the eyes of an Aussie food legend.
