EatWell with Emma 2023


This Christmas, Emma Dean is heading to Melbourne, where she draws inspiration from a diverse array of restaurants and chefs such as Angie Giannakodakis from Epocha, who reveals her mum’s famous moussaka recipe or, as she likes to call it, “layers of love”. The recipe has travelled over a century through Angie’s family and is the true definition of soulful food. Afterwards, Emma pops in to Snack Monster to visit chef Allan Watson. Together, they explore the very best snacks found in the heart of Melbourne. But the fun doesn’t stop there! Emma learns the art of doughnut making from the team at the American Doughnut Kitchen in Queen Victoria Market, Lord Mayor Sally Capp laces up her roller skates to kick off the festivities, Thomas Schnetzler from Lindt reveals how to make your Christmas even sweeter, and so much more!

No matter what your plans are for this year’s holiday season or whether you’re cooking for two or 22 guests, Emma has plenty of tips and tricks to share. Under her expert guidance, you’ll plan, prepare, make and create a truly magical Christmas with zero stress and a lot of laughs along the way.

Merry Christmas!

From all of us at EatWell.
