Airdate: Jimmy’s Australian Food Adventure

Later this month LifeStyle FOOD premieres a new series featuring Jamie Oliver’s pal, pig farmer Jimmy Doherty in Jimmy’s Australian Food Adventure.

Pig farmer Jimmy Doherty is no stranger to television, having appeared alongside childhood friend and internationally- renowned chef Jamie Oliver. In this series Jimmy combines his love of food and travel. Along his stunning journey he discovers Australia’s wild plants and foods, explores how the first European settlers introduced new tastes to the continent and examines the impact new science and new thinking is having on Australian cuisine.

Jimmy’s action-packed journey takes him into a wide variety of landscapes from the tropical wetlands of the Northern Territory and Kimberly in Western Australia to the very heart of the continent. Whether he’s crocodile wrangling, mustering cattle, mud-crabbing, turning bee keeper for the day or camel trekking through the outback in South Australia he approaches every challenge with charm and infectious passion. Australia’s top chefs, brewers, vintners and farmers, join Jimmy along the way as he tries out some brand new food innovations from a lemonade fruit to a pearl meat sensation.

Sundays from August 30 at 7.30pm on LifeStyle FOOD.
