This mother, grandmother, journalist, adventurer, celebrator of Australia's multicultural culinary heart is carrying plates to the table as the last of the family trails in: Connor, his partner, Mae, who was born in Ghana, and their one-year-old daughter, Arabella, whose smile lights up the room.
The family is called to the table. In primary school, Kitty was asked to draw a picture of her happy place and this was it, this immense oval-shaped table around which the family has gathered for almost as long as she can remember. There have been celebrations, such as when Mae's family came to dinner for the first time last year, and struggles.

Now To Love Yesterday pm. Maeve began her career a year after she graduated from college with an arts degree. Unsure of the exact path she wanted to take, she travelled and backpacked for a year and found enjoyment in the spontaneity of each day.
This formative year led Maeve to journalism. Her work began with traditional news programs such as The Carleton-Walsh Report. There, she rekindled her love of the culinary world.
After several years working for SBS, she launched her company Gourmet Safari , an Australian tour company that would allow people to experience the many different cuisines Australia offers.
Following the success of her company, SBS created a show centred around the idea and called it Food Safari. Some episodes are based on culture, while some are based on the cooking method, such as the use of an open flame or water. In , backpacking through London, Maeve was walking alongside the army barracks in Chelsea when an IRA nail bomb exploded.
Two people lost their lives, and Maeve was one among the 40 injured. She was treated for shrapnel wounds to her back and severe bruising. Whether it's the tiny Indian restaurant that treats guests to a cooking demonstration or the glass of fragrant Persian tea sampled at a supermarket in the back streets of Ryde, O'Meara says she loves that Gourmet Safaris has grown from the early hosted dinners to walking tours of food villages.
O'Meara says the food tours continue to flourish because there's an interest in travelling to eat — particularly in a meaningful way that goes beyond securing bragging rights on Instagram. She says she still gets a thrill out of connecting like-minded individuals and encouraging them to spread their culinary wings.
