Soon to be seen in series 3 of The Traitors on Channel 10, Alvin Quah is a well known face thanks to his two standout seasons on MasterChef.

Alvin gives us an insight into the machinations of The Traitors and some special memories of his MasterChef days as well. He is proudly Malaysian born and his insight to the best food from his homeland is brilliant. We also learn of Alvin's little-known skill that has absolutely nothing to do with cooking or television cameras, but one he shares with Sarah.

When Kevin asked Sarah what the Food Poll for this week was going to be, 'She just smiled and gave him a Vegemite sandwich.' So keeping the show as bright as bright can be, we ask are you a happy little Vegemite sandwich eater or not?

Author of the new book 'Melbourne Coffee Roasters - A History,' Dominic was director of Mocopan Coffee, one of Australia’s founding coffee roasters, from 1982 to 1995. Dominic's own experiences in the industry combined with with his meticulously researched history and a love of coffee give him a unique perspective. From instant to pods, and plungers to the powdered Cafe Bar experience, we talk coffee in all its variations.

And to finish, how about some pudding? Rice pudding to be precise. Are you in the yay or the nay camp?
