You will meet few people with a greater passion for food, cooking, shopping and sharing than our guest this week, social media sensation Steph De Sousa.

Steph shares her experiences in the MasterChef kitchen, which helped steer her to her happy place - her kitchen in her house (conveniently located above an Aldi supermarket) where she reigns as the Easy Dinner Queen, creating budget conscious, simple but very tasty meals for the family.

There are no smoke and mirrors with Steph but there are Air Fryers, shopping lists and practical tips on food waste and much more.

Our Food Poll this week is typically controversial, so hang onto your shellfish - are you a fan of Oysters Kilpatrick?

Presented by Sarah Patterson & Kevin Hillier

It's Big Freeze 11 time and CEO of Fight MND Matt Tilley is our special guest this week.

Matt was the king of Melbourne's FM breakfast timeslot not that long ago but now heads up the fight to cure the beast that is Motor Neurone Disease, working with Australian of the Year Neale Daniher and an incredible team of scientists, doctors and fundraisers.

While the famous slide into the ice bath at the MCG on the King's Birthday Holiday is the focus of attention, the work to raise money and find a cure for MND happens 365 days a year.

Away from work, Matt is a keen cook and passionate veggie grower - an award winning veggie grower, in fact - who shares his secret weapon for success in the garden.

The Food Poll this week is a simple choice. Halloumi cheese - is it a yay or a nay?

Big Freeze beanies are available at Coles, Bunnings and Shell Reddy and the new digital beanie, which you can personalise, via bigfreeze.com.au

Such is his popularity, dessert maestro Adriano Zumbo pops up everywhere from The Cook Up with Adam Liaw on SBS to MasterChef, and we are delighted to say he pops up this week on Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson.

Adriano shares memories of his childhood - where he really was the kid in the lolly shop. While his desserts might be out of this world, Adriano is very down to earth and he tells us that, after a long day slaving away over his spectacular creations, he loves nothing more than a Zooper Dooper or plate of Potato Gems.

The Food Poll this week is Paella. Are you voting Si or No, Gracias?
