Simon O'Donnell has quite the CV. Former Australian cricket champion, St. Kilda footballer, multi-media personality and leading racehorse owner and breeder.

And with the release of this episode of Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson, he becomes self-appointed Brussels Sprouts Ambassador to the World.

That dry O'Donnell sense of humour shines through this chat with Sarah and Kevin as Simon also names the worst vegetable ever, shares his thoughts on condiments, looks back on his illustrious sporting career and adds some spice to his days in front of the cameras.

The Food Poll this week features a culinary classic - the Quiche Lorraine. Is it a trumped up French tart or an timeless taste treat? It certainly evokes some wonderful, nostalgic memories for our It's Showtime guest Jen Seyderhelm, who shares her family secret to the perfect 'Quiche Jen Lorraine.'

Internationally acclaimed chef Helen Goh brings knowledge, expertise, some out-of-the-baking-tray thinking and her wordly charm to this episode of Food Bytes.

Armed with her beautiful new book 'Baking and the Meaning of Life' (Murdoch Books), Helen talks about the simplicity of her baking philosophy and how it relates to everyday life. She also shares some insider tips for the home baker from an adventurous ten layer cake to the humble scone.

The Food Poll this week is a dentist's delight as we pit humbugs against fruit rock candy.

Little House on the Prairie was a worldwide television phenomenon and its stars became household names. Think Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert and our guest this week, Alison Arngrim. Alison played the spoiled, snobbish bully Nellie Oleson. Not exactly the most likeable character on the show, but certainly one of most most talked about.

Here, Alison shares her incredible story of getting the part, how it changed her life - both then and now - and insights from her experiences of being on such a massive hit television show.

Alison loves the kitchen and has a cookbook in the works as well as a treasure trove of YouTube cooking videos, so we also get some very handy kitchen tips from the former restaurateur of Walnut Grove!

Our Food Poll is more British in origin. We ask if the chip butty takes your fancy.
