ABOUT THE SHOW

Hosted by Savva Savas, Three Food Memories Live invites special guest and bestselling Australian author Frances Whiting to share her food memories, with the promise to reveal far more about herself than what they’ve tasted! As part of this unique culinary experience at Night Feast, you will receive a curated food box filled with the very dishes being discussed on stage.

While Frances shares their personal stories and memories tied to each item, you’ll be able to taste them in real time – bringing the narrative to life through every bite. It’s an intimate journey through flavour and memory, designed to engage your senses and your heart.

Audio and visuals from the talk will be recorded for a future podcast episode.

PART OF NIGHT FEAST

Bold orange text on a white background reads NIGHT FEAST. The “A” in “FEAST” is stylized with a star shape forming its crossbar, celebrating the energy of Total Vibration Night Feast 2026.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Savva Savas is a hospitality impresario and magnetic storyteller at the heart of Australia’s culinary scene. For almost 30 years, through his company PLATED, Savva has curated unforgettable dining experiences—crafted with precision and soul—for some of the country’s most exclusive and intimate gatherings.

With over 130 local and international guests, Three Food Memories has become a go-to platform for heartfelt conversations about how food shapes our identities, our connections, and the world around us. His mission? To spotlight the profound, personal stories that emerge when we ask one simple question: “What are your three food memories?”

Born to Greek Cypriot parents, Savva’s early life unfolded in Sydney and on a family farm on the Central Coast, where paddock-to-plate wasn’t a trend, but a way of life. The rituals of food, the warmth of shared meals, and the joy of celebration became the emotional architecture of his childhood, and continue to guide his work today.

Savva’s voice and vision have been recognised in The Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Gourmet Traveller, Belle Magazine, House and Garden Australia, Vogue Australia, GQ Australia, Vivid Ideas, SXSW Sydney, Bleach*2025, SBS, and the Deep in the Weeds podcast network.

In 2027, her national, weekly column will turn 30 years old, making Frances Australia’s longest running weekly columnist.

Frances has written three best selling novels – Walking on Trampolines, The Best Kind of Beautiful and her latest novel, The Nocturnals, which has been optioned for a television series. She is a self-confessed below average cook, but what she lacks in skill, she makes up for in enthusiasm.

"Stories about Nonna’s Bolognese segue into larger conversations about life, culture, peppered with warmth, wit and charm."
