Silvie Paladino's name is synonymous with Christmas and Carols by Candlelight and she certainly brings the joy and spirit of the festive season to the show this week. As Silvie prepares for a slew of Christmas concerts and her 27th appearance at Melbourne's iconic Christmas Eve spectacular, she talks about her family, her career and what is special to her at this time of year.

The Food Poll this week is a hard one, quite literally: Is it a yay or a nay for the humble hard-boiled egg?

Shane Delia

Restaurateur, author, chef and seasoned television presenter Shane Delia returns to Food Bytes to tell us about his latest adventure, a six part series for SBS Food, tapping into his Maltese heritage. Shane's passion for the cuisine, produce, people and places of his ancestral homeland shines through with his insights into everything from sweet treats to Christmas fare. And rather than a kitchen or cooking tip, Shane shares an AFL footy tip for 2026.

The reaction to our Food Poll this week was off the charts and the battle for supremacy was akin to a heavyweight title fight as we crown the top flyer from the deep fryer ... it's potato cakes/scallops up against chips.

Sandy Gore

Acclaimed Australian actor Sandy Gore has graced our screens, stages and airwaves for many years in a stunning career that continues today.

Whether it be Kay White in Prisoner, Mother Ambrose in Brides of Christ or her roles in dozens of theatrical productions, Sandy has a presence few possess and many would envy.

Sandy is also very handy in the kitchen and shares her delicious Chinese chicken salad recipe with us, plus a cooking tip to ensure your chicken breasts are juicy, not dry! Talk about multi-talented.

The Food Poll this week unwraps an eternal confectionery favourite for devouring or dismissing. Minties: What side of the fence do you sit on - the yays or the nays?

George Donikian

George Donikian is a uniquely talented man who has packed a lot into his 50 year media career, as you will discover in this week's episode.

George's cavalcade of colourful life experiences is like the joy of opening a box of Cadbury Favourites. One minute, it's a boost to Far North Queensland, then a twirl around the New South Wales Central Coast then our Turkish speaking delight is fronting news on SBS! Only the names have been changed to protect the various shades of George. The food component of this chat is every bit as exotic as George's media journey. Fasten your seat belts, it's a fun-packed adventure.

The Food Poll this week opens a canape of crustaceans and it is snot for the faint hearted.

Break out the Jatz and Savoys, slide on a tinned smoked oyster and swear on a stack of Bibles whether you are for or against this party starter from back in the day.

Swanee

Swanee has been belting out rock classics since he was a wee laddie growing up in Glasgow. As an elder of the hit making Swan/Barnes gene pool, Swanee has lived life to the fullest, but there are some insights he rarely gets a chance to share, like his days as an army chef and pastry cook, his kitchen surprises and secrets for his favourite curries and much-loved trifle.

We also hear the back story to his latest musical masterpiece, a duets album called Believe, where a dream comes true and Swanee records with his brothers Jimmy and Alan Barnes for the first time ever. Swanee is not only a great singer, he is a larrikin, a man of the people and loved and respected across the music industry.

The names might not sound very appertising but the memories they bring are like no other. In the Food Poll this week, the Razz, Glug and the Sunny Boy line up in all their frozen glory, vying for the title of favourite frozen pyramid of the past.
