Episodes
Simon and Maggie reflect on the state of the Australian food scene in 2008 and prepare what they consider to be truly Australian meals. Maggie tells Simon about the amazing changes she's seen.
From pasta to gelati, tomatoes to octopus - Italian migrants have contributed enormously to our Australian way of life. Maggie's love of Italian opera and food is well known.
Simon and Maggie marvel at the British success in putting their own stamp on a Pakistani curry and then celebrate the cross-cultural cuisine of Australia's own 'Father Of Fusion', Cheong Liew.
Simon and Maggie go vegetarian, proving a meat free diet is far from bland and boring. While vegetarianism has always being part of Indian and Asian culture, it didn't really kick off until the 1800s.
Simon and Maggie are holding a tea party to celebrate the days when afternoon teas (complete with cakes and cucumber sandwiches) were quite the done thing.
The Cook and The Chef transform fresh ingredients into meals anyone can cook, while providing hints and tips on how to best buy, prepare and present the dishes.
