Reviews
"Food is — the foodie analogies are irresistibly appropriate — a nourishing and tasty theatrical dish."
— Time Out Sydney
"...a delicious piece of theatre. It is adventurous while still being comforting, warm without being cloying. … you want to gobble it up and then go back for seconds."
— Australian Stage
"Food is a delicious, light confection with some rewarding chewy bits"
— Actor’s Green Room
"... funny and uplifting. The audience will feel that no matter how far apart you may have drifted from family or your past, it's going to be OK, you can come back together."
— Sydney Morning Herald
