Three Food Memories

"Every recess, every lunchtime, I had detention. I had to write on the board "I will not interrupt the class, I will not interrupt the class, I will not interrupt the class..." - Rae Johnston 

Our guest on this episode of TFM is a science communicator with a twist. A Wiradjuri and Greek woman with a little Welsh in the mix too, Rae Johnston is as warm and enveloping as her homemade (and grown) spiced apple cake.

On the menu is; roast lamb that knocked eight years of being vego on the head, mum’s triple choc mud muffins, Greek feasts on dad’s side of the family, lessons on bringing a new partner into a single-parent family, where her love of horror movies and gaming came from, and why there's nothing more depressing than a sad, flavourless meal. 

Rae's social cause is UNICEF because kids are the most vulnerable people in humanity and we have a responsibility to protect them. She's a UNICEF ambassador (just like Angelina Jolie!) and is host of their podcast NextGEN.
