Lyndey Milan and her son, Blair, who sadly passed away in April 2011: sharing 'the beauty of a mother son relationship on camera'
The critically acclaimed seven part series Lyndey & Blair's Taste of Greece returns to SBS One at 3:30pm on Sundays.

The series is a beautiful tribute to Lyndey’s 29 year old son, Blair who passed away on Sunday, 17 April 2011 from Acute Myloid Leukemia. 'He was the most positive person I had ever met, and it was a joy and a privilege to have been his mother. It still hasn’t really sunk in’, says Lyndey.

Seeking culinary delights, adventure and antiquities, Lyndey and Blair, toured the fascinating Peloponnese with a film crew in 2010. The result, Lyndey & Blair’s Taste of Greece, showcases the cuisine, culture and beautifully undiscovered land of this region, which is so accessible to Athens.

The series follows Lyndey and Blair as they cook, eat, drink and engage with the locals they meet along the way – a charming yet eclectic mix of home cooks, wine the cuisine of the Peloponnese has a starring role, the historic heart of Greece is not overlooked as ancient sites are explored with an adventurous edge, full of humour and insight. The unique mother/son relationship between Lyndey and Blair adds another layer of fun and banter.

'This is a road show like no other,' says Lyndey, 'not quite your average family holiday – and we are both food-seeking missiles. 

'Travelling and shooting a television program with your mother is a little out of the ordinary! The beauty of a mother son relationship on camera is that you can't fake it, or replicate it, all the complexities have been built up over 29 years,' Blair explained just days before his sudden demise. 

The companion book of the same title, a joyful collaboration between mother and son, is also out now. It contains beautiful location photography, amusing anecdotes and over 80 authentic yet fresh recipes. makers, producers, chefs and restaurateurs.
