One of Australia's most recognised food and wine personalities, Lyndey Milan is joining the popular culinary ranks of SBS, with the likes of Luke Nguyen and Maeve O'Meara. In 2010 Lyndey and her partner, John Caldon formed Naked Flame Productions to produce, market and distribute unique television programs for a global audience. The first of these productions was filmed in late 2010. Seeking culinary delights, adventure and antiquities, Lyndey and her son Blair an actor/voice-over artist, toured the fascinating Peloponnese with a film crew. The result, Lyndey & Blair's Taste of Greece, showcases the cuisine, culture and beautifully undiscovered land of this region, which is so accessible to Athens. The series follows Lyndey and Blair as they cook, eat, drink and engage with the locals they meet along the way - a charming yet eclectic mix of home cooks, winemakers, producers, chefs and restaurateurs. While the cuisine of the Peloponnese has a starring role, the historic heart of Greece is not overlooked as ancient sites are explored with an adventurous edge, full of humour and insight. The unique mother/son relationship between Lyndey and Blair adds another layer of fun and banter. "This is a road show like no other," says Lyndey, "not quite your average family holiday - and we are both food-seeking missiles". "Travelling and shooting a television program with your mother is a little out of the ordinary! Put it this way. With my mother there is never a dull moment. The beauty of a mother son relationship on camera is that you can't fake it, or replicate it, all the complexities have been built up over 29 years," says Blair with a smirk. The series is currently in post-production at the Sydney Studio Kitchen, a dedicated state-of-the-art, fully integrated production and post-production facility that incorporates a multi-purpose studio floor, sets, Final Cut Pro edit suites and associated technical expertise and crew. In early 2011 Lyndey & Blair's Taste of Greece was sold to SBS and is scheduled to air in the near future. Lyndey and Blair, with other members of the SBS food line-up, will be cooking on stage at Food Journey, the multi-cultural event that forms part of Melbourne Food & Wine Festival. Lyndey will prepare several Greek recipes ably assisted by her son and co-host Blair Milan - a great preview for the upcoming series!
