About this listen

The things you find out when you ask people about their food memories can be soulful, spicy, sensational, sour, and sublime. Often you'll discover something you never knew about the person you asked - and this is what the Three Food Memories podcast is about, how every food memory is linked to a moment in time.

Three Food Memories is hosted by Savva Savas, dad of twin boys, entrepreneur, caterer, and creator. In each episode Savva chats with a guest who shares three food memories and a social cause close to their heart, revealing far more about themselves than what they’ve tasted.

Be prepared for some hilarious and otherwise never-heard-before stories, and if you love listening - please tell your friends (and like, subscribe, and follow for all the goodness!)

  • Emily Maitlis, British journalist
    Feb 16 2026

    "We've got to ask much bigger questions about what Epstein got away with, how many people were entangled into that web" - Emily Maitlis

    In this episode of Three Food Memories, you'll meet British journalist Emily Maitlis. The woman that did "that" interview with the former Prince Andrew.

    On Emily's menu is: Home-made pesto and a bright green birthday cake, Sabsi in Iran a decade ago, and a surprising third food memory that she's been thinking about ever since she tasted it in California.

    Sides include: an unfulfilled hairdressing career, a childhood filled with cartwheeling, a delicious post-wedding Chinese meal - oh, and of course, Snoopy.

    Emily's social cause is AllChild - allchild.org which supports communities in underserved neighbourhoods across the UK to help children and young people build the social, emotional, and academic skills they need to flourish.

  • Gennaro Contaldo, Italian chef and author
    Feb 9 2026

    "I was dropped in the kitchen when I was ten, and I never come out" - Gennaro Contaldo

    On Italian chef, Gennaro Contaldo's menu: mum's Spaghetti con Pomodoro, mushroom foraging with the one and only Antonio Carluccio, topped off by some delicious Agrodolce on a mountainside with Jamie Oliver.

    Sides include prize-winning trout, pharmacy only olive oil, and a saintly encounter.

    Gennaro's social cause is the Antonio Carluccio Foundation which aims to provide resources, training and development needed by disadvantaged young cooks and chefs entering the hospitality industry as well as supporting the work of charities and non-governmental organisations in alleviating hunger worldwide.
