YOU’RE ABOUT TO ENTER THE TASTY BELLY KITCHEN AND HEAR/READ STORIES OF FOOD AND FLAVOUR SO **BE WARNED** YOUR BELLY MIGHT START TO RUMBLE AT SOME POINT.
ON THE BELLY MENU TODAY WE’LL BEGIN WITH A STORY ABOUT XYLITOL (pictured here below) BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LOVELY ISOLDA WHO HAS MADE IT HER MISSION TO DEVISE WAYS OF MAKING SWEET TREATS WITHOUT THE SWEET BUT WITH ALL THE TREAT.

Really interesting the taste test we did in the studio. Really fresh flavourless minty feel …. try it … you might like it.
I know for a fact that The Source bulk food shops sell non-gmo Xylitol so go see them if you want to feel fresh and minty too !!

I would love to say a big bellyfelt thank you to them for giving us a $100 gift voucher for one of our stunning subscribers to spend in their divine restaurant. The lines ran so hot that i had to start answering calls with my feet as my hands were busy managing the panel. Congratulations to our winner … you can contact me at the station to let me know when you would like to take me there.

IT’LL INCLUDE NEW DISCOVERIES, OLD REINCARNATIONS, PASSIONATE COOKS AND CHEEKY CHEFS, STUNNING LOCATIONS, FLAVOURSOME FUN AND ALSO GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO MEET SOME OF THE INCREDIBLE LOCAL PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT THERE MAKING AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN FOR US AND OUR BELLIES.
Click HERE to hear tales from the bush at the GUITAR SHOP CAFE, Three Ways, Upper Wilsons Creek – Three Ways Wilsons
OPEN TUES, WEDS, THURS for lunch. 1 Huonbrook Rd Wilson’s Creek NSW.
Just recently I was invited to a Sunday brunch and live music session up at the café, so get in touch to find out more. This is the only picture I can find of it but it is so much more beautiful now and the grass has been cut !!
FOR THE LAST HALF HOUR OF THE SHOW THE LOVELY ELVIRA FROM BYRON BAY MISO WILL BE MAKING HER WAY INTO THE BELLY KITCHEN AND SHARING WITH US HER UNIQUE AMAZINGNESS … THEY’VE BEEN BUSY MAKING ORGANIC UNPASTERURIZED MISO IN THE SHIRE SO YOU’LL HAVE THE CHANCE TO FIND OUT WHAT MISO IS, HOW IT’S MADE, IT’S NUTRITIONAL VALUES AND SOOOO MUCH MORE.
I will bring you this interview again here on our website so that you can listen again to all of the marvellous miso powers you can gain by eating this delicious condiment. My favorite is their new Natto Miso but you can find all varieties at the Mullum Farmers Markets on a Friday and also as part of the Frozen Banana Mans’ stand at the Bangalow and Byron weekend markets. Delicious is an understatement … i’m addicted to its goodness and to the beautiful people that make it for us. Look for Byron Bay Miso.
WE CAN’T HAVE ALL THIS FOOD TALK AND NO MUSIC THOUGH CAN WE?! PLENTY OF CULTURAL BEATS COMING YOUR WAY TO DRIFT YOU FROM ONE CONVERSATION TO ANOTHER.
THIS WEEKEND IS ABOUT CELEBRATING CULTURE … WE ARE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY CALLED AUSTRALIA BUT I THINK MOST OF US ARE FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE SOME WAY BACK, SO WHO EVER YOU ARE AND WHEREVER YOUR OWN UNIQUE CULTURE COMES FROM, I HOPE YOU ARE CONNECTING TO IT AND CELEBRATING IT IN ALL IT’S GLORY.
I’m going to take you to SAMOA … of course I can’t do that without BOBBY ALU singing SIVA MA’IA.
You can find it on his album “TAKE IT SLOW” AND THIS IS FOR ALL THE MANY DIFFERENT SHAPED AND COLOURED BELLIES OF THE SHIRE TUNED INTO OUR CULTURALLY CONNECTED COMMUNITY RADIO STATION .. THE BEAUTIFUL BAYFM
