Jamie Durie, designer and environmentalist

"I remember my dad chasing a brown snake through the back yard in his underwear" - Jamie Durie 

In this episode of Three Food Memories, Savva sits down with Jamie Durie at his house in Avalon, surrounded by 50 guests (and more than 250 indoor plants). 

On the menu is tuna sashimi in Kyoto, caribou carpaccio in Hudson Bay, and risotto alla Milanese, along with fond recollections of his youth in Tom Price, his acrobatic Manpower days, fatherhood, meeting Barack Obama, working with Oprah, his landscape and furniture design, how we can all make our homes a little more environmentally friendly, as well as the moment that took him from hot pants to pot plants (which may or may not have something to do with Molly Meldrum).

Jamie's social cause is the Children's Cancer Institute, because every child should get the chance to grow up and grow old. But cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year. In Australia alone, every week, three young lives will be lost to the disease. For over 40 years, Children’s Cancer Institute has been researching the causes, prevention and cure of childhood cancer.
