Maltese cuisine has always been a cultural cornerstone, bridging generations and continents with its rich flavors and hearty recipes. Now, in an unprecedented televised adventure, brothers Fabian and Keith Demicoli are set to embark on a culinary journey like no other, traveling 15,000 kilometers to Australia to explore the vibrant Maltese community thriving in the land down under.
Dubbed “Brothers in Australia,” this new television program promises to showcase the powerful connection between Maltese food, family, memories, and the enduring love for Malta. With a natural and authentic style, the Demicoli brothers will delve into the heart of Australian Maltese culture by visiting families and cooking alongside them to prepare traditional Maltese recipes passed down through generations.
From the bustling cities of Sydney, Melbourne, to Brisbane, Fabian and Keith will encounter a diverse array of Maltese expatriates, some of whom left the Maltese islands decades ago but still hold Malta close to their hearts. These individuals, with their unwavering love for Maltese customs and cuisine, exemplify the enduring spirit of the Maltese diaspora.
In their culinary explorations, the Demicoli brothers will encounter families who have preserved the essence of Maltese cuisine, from homemade macaroni to bread with oil, pastries, fried rabbit, and mqaret. They will also meet individuals who have achieved great success in Australia while remaining deeply rooted in their Maltese heritage, as well as children of Maltese immigrants who proudly speak the Maltese language and continue the tradition of producing artisanal cheese.
According to the latest census, Australia is home to approximately 235,000 people of Maltese descent, a testament to the enduring legacy of Maltese culture in the country. “Brothers in Australia” seeks to celebrate this vibrant community and showcase their contributions to Australian society while honoring their deep-seated connection to Malta.
Supported by the Kultura TV fund within the Maltese Council for the Arts, “Brothers in Australia” is a collaborative effort produced by Emotive Media. The series promises to be a captivating exploration of culture, identity, and the universal language of food.
Don’t miss the premiere of “Brothers in Australia” airing from April on ONE TV, as Fabian and Keith Demicoli invite viewers on a captivating journey of culinary discovery and cultural exploration.
