WIN 1 of 5 ultimate SBS Food Safari DVD sets – Italian Food Safari plus Food Safari 1 & 2
What are you doing this chilly winter weekend?
For me, it is always the perfect time to stay in, and get creative in the kitchen and fill the air with freshly baked breads and cakes. Also do not fight the temptation of sloth on the couch, with a bowl of mama’s spaghetti or the comforting chives dumplings and watch SBS Food Safari DVDs back to back!
But don’t worry, I am going to share my winter indulgence with five of my ATFT readers! 5 lucky winners will have the opportunity to win this ultimate SBS Food Safari DVD set which includes the new released Italian Food Safari DVDs (RRP$29.99) plus the popular Food Safari season 1 and 2 DVD boxset (RRP$39.95).
I keep missing a few episodes of the Italian Food Safari while being shown on TV and now I am really looking forward to watch it all over again from the beginning on DVDs. The Italian Food Safari show are presented by food explorer Maeve O’Meara and legendary Melbourne chef Guy Grossi (Grossi Florentino, Mirka at Tolarno). Italian Food Safari spends time with Australia’s top Italian chefs and producers…. in fact the whole 13-part series is a culinary Who’s Who of Italian Australia. Not to mention there is over 160 minutes extra footage that’s not shown on TV, win win! Or should I say, “Chin Chin!”
Can you see yourself having a Food Safari marathon every weekend? You have to enter to win it!

A Table For Two (ATFT) is Billy Law's food blog that features best eats in Sydney and around the world with drool-worthy food photography to salivate your appetite. I also throw in a smidgen of my food and travel photography for good measure. Billy Law also happened to be a contestant on MasterChef Australia 2011. 
crispy polenta chips + aioli – umm sacrilicious.
I would have to say mashed potato with gravy is my ultimate comfort food. I love heating last night’s leftovers and eating it slowly with a teaspoon in front of the tv.
Awesome prize too. I love Food Safari!
Meatballs in tomato sauce nourishing body and soul.
everything italian, some delicious pasta, gnocci, pizza and platters and a scrumptions tiramasu is the ultimate comfort food that makes everyone wish they had a Nonna in there family
mmmm freshly baked bread, still warm from the oven with some garlic butter or olive oil….
esp for a winter night…mmm
For the first 10 kilometres breakfast of frittata di asparagi with crispy bacon,next 10 kilometres lunch of minestrone, next 10 kilometres dinner of lamb shanks with potato mash and finally the last 10 kilometres would be a sticky date pudding with king island cream. Oh I forgot the next 2 kms….snooze.
My favourite comfort food is definitely a huge pot of soup! I love to make a bit batch and let it simmer for hours, each bowl is better than the last
My favourite comfort food for a Food Safari marathon would be pumpkin soup. As I watch the presenters of Food Safari put so much effort into showing me lovely food I remember the effort I put into making my soup … then i realise i get to relax and slurp my warm soup while they still do all the work (:
every thursday night, i seem to be digging for food while watching food safari on tv! i would definitely be digging into some warm chocolate lava pudding with icecream during the weekend food safari marathon!
My favourite wintery comfort food is soup and crusty bread followed by sticky date pudding.
For me it’d have to be a laksa with the lot! I love having my laksa with 2 types of noodles.. rice and egg noodles with lots of fish balls, fish cakes, tofu puffs, half a boiled egg and crunch-licious bean sprouts! Nothing beats comfort but a nice big bowl of laksa!
My perfect meal to watch a night of food porn would involve a extremely large bowl of spaghetti with lots of parmesan, lots of lots of garlic bread and a generous glass of shiraz. Since, I’d need to be eating to get through at least a couple of episodes… I better throw in a big serve of apple crumble drizzled with cream and a hot chocolate (with marshmallows, of course!).
Hi, I’d have a stash of different breads and fillings on hand. Then I’d make toasted sandwiches with a side of chips and pickles; my type of ploughman’s lunch.
I need to have food that can be eaten with one hand as my other hand would used for taking down recipes on paper!
Great competition! Thanks for the giveaway.
My food cravings are usually triggered visually by photos of gorgeous food or watching food shows like Food Safari. So my favourite comfort food would depend on whichever episodes I was watching for the marathon. It would be a big bowl of thousand year egg congee and fried bread sticks for the Chinese episode, a large pile of edamame for the Japanese episode, homemade ricotta gnocchi for Italian, some toasty quesadillas for Mexican, spicy gumbo for American – and so on. As long as it’s hot! And something fresh out of the oven is also great for winter comfort! I guess there would be a lot of running back and forth between the kitchen and TV with each episode – followed by a food coma the next day!
carrot halwa made in ghee with nuts in it… and maybe a scoop of english toffee ice cream made with buttermilk on the side
My ultimate comfort food for these cold winter nights would have to be a homemade pear and butterscotch pie with a bit of cinnamon served with a scoop of ice-cream which sounds weird since it’s freezing these days but the combo of a hot pie and cold ice-cream is perfect
for savory comfort food, I can’t go past spaghetti bolognese sauce eaten with hot bread instead of pasta.. there’s something strangely about scooping up the sauce with bread mmmm so good!!
what a great question for the competition, I’m loving the unique responses others have come up with!
Gyoza. Defintely fresh, hand made , steamed and lightly fried gyoza. Filling dictated by weather, by whim, and by what’s left in the fridge. A little sweet, a little sour, a little hot sauce on the side.
A glass of wine, then curl up on the couch and watch a DVD (Food Safari of course!).
Hmmm, too many delicious dishes to choose from but we would more than likely plan an Italian inspired meal – maybe a chicken ball soup or a lentil and vegetable served with lots of parmesan and parsley – warms the heart and not too many calories, also good to have some leftover. Then onto the main – maybe a saltimbocca with cavolo nero on the side and crispy rosemary and garlic potatoes…I’m not really into deserts but lately have been making a flourless orange cake and frosting this with a dark chocolate ganache and serve with a berry coulis and cream – really easy but impressive and delicious…
the ultimate comfort food for a marathon weekend would have to osso bucco and risotto alla Milanese, great traditional Italian food for a Italian weekend!
my ulitmate comfort food= freshly made and then streamed man tao by my bestie ! but best of all, dipping the man tao into a deep bowl of warm condensed milk !!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmMMMmm
i’m in heaven haha
