Well it’s been a blast touring Australia for the first half of the year and giving everyone a taste of green food from my new book Green Food Generation. Now it’s time to jump on a flight and head stateside to catch up with some buddies of mine who are killin’ it right across the mighty USA. Guy Fieri, is to many, the superstar of all American food, and he serves it up with an extra helping of his crazy personality (which is like hot sauce for the ears). I mean this guy ‘Guy’ is on fire!!!! I love it!
So, the big man himself asked me to star as his opening act for sixteen dates across the USA to launch his new book Guy Fieri Food. I’ve stepped up to the plate — I’ll be mixing up a storm and putting a few members of the audience through their paces while I get you charged up for the big smoking gun. You can check out the tour dates here. See you all soon.

You know, I bet you’re wondering: what was Oprah Winfrey’s first real taste of Australia? Well, I can tell you. When the ‘Queen of the Small Screen’ herself began her Ultimate Australian Adventure on the iconic Whitsunday’s Whitehaven Beach, I figured the first thing Oprah and all her guests needed was a great cocktail. I decided to whip them up a HAV-O — made from delicious fresh Aussie ingredients, and having named it after the Whitehaven Beach, I thought it made the perfect welcome drink (besides, we all know that everything good in Australia has an ‘O’ thrown on the end).
Click here for the recipe for my HAV-O cocktail, which I think should be Australia’s National Cocktail. So c’mon, what else would you rather drink on Australia Day?
