COLIN – DECADENT FISH PIE
You might have tried fish pie before, but we guarantee you haven’t tried one like this. Colin’s filling his with loads of delicious seafood – like prawns, scallops and smoked fish. Paired with cream, fennel, thyme, dill and lemon zest, and topped with puff pastry, this fish pie is so decadent, it’s fit for a king…and it’ll make a real showstopper at the centre of your table.
CHARLIE – SOFTENING THE HARDSCAPES
When it comes to tricky spaces to grow gardens, we’ve seen the worst: sloping sites, wet sites, hot and dry areas, balconies, and even spaces with zero soil to plant…but could this space be the hardest we’ve ever tackled? This courtyard gets loads of heat and there’s hard surfaces everywhere, which means turning it into a lush garden requires thinking outside the box. This week, Charlie’s doing just that. He’s showing you how to soften up this boring courtyard by flooding it with plants – no demo involved. Whether you live in an apartment or a house, we’ve all got a space like this at home…and it’s time to soften it up.
JULIET – MOSAIC TABLETOP HACK
Mosaic tabletops are having a moment right now, but making your own can be a bit of a puzzle…literally! This week, Juliet’s sharing a clever hack to give you the same look, without the headache of having to piece everything together. The finished result is sleek, stylish and contemporary.
MELISSA – A VIEW OF ADELAIDE
When it comes to Australia’s best major cities, there’s one gem that’s been flying under the radar. Close to beaches, green spaces and more than half of Australia’s wineries, it’s also a bustling foodie destination with great nightlife, loads of festivals, a vibrant art scene and much, much more. Oh, and it’s also a strong contender for Australia’s cheapest capital city to live in. Melissa’s visiting ‘Radelaide’ to find out if it lives up to all the hype…but just how expensive is it to live in Adelaide really? And should more Aussies consider it as a place to call home?
DR HARRY – ANGORA GOATS
They’re rare, shaggy, super cute and they produce one of the most luxurious fibres in the world. This week, Dr Harry is heading to the Sydney Royal Easter Show to check out one of the most unusual breeds on show here, the angora goat! It takes a lot to prepare goats for an agricultural show, and Dr Harry’s learning more about the process. Plus, what is it about angora fur that’s so special? Dr Harry is finding out.
Saturday – Episode 13
JOHANNA – COOKING SEAFOOD WITH RICK STEIN
He’s one of the original celebrity chefs, with more than 50 years in the business, 25 cookbooks and over 30 TV series to his name. Rick Stein is practically culinary royalty, and this week Johanna’s meeting up with him to talk about his latest venture. Rick and his Aussie wife, Sarah, have just opened a new restaurant in Coogee that celebrates his lifelong love of seafood. Johanna’s visiting to see what’s on the menu, and to find out what fuels Rick’s passion for food after half a century in the kitchen.
ADAM – HOW TO BUILD A HANDRAIL
Stairs without a handrail aren’t just unsafe — in most cases, they’re also against building regulations, too. So this week, Adam’s showing you how to build your own, including the key measurements and standard heights you need to follow. The result is a stylish finish that not only looks great, but also makes your stairs safer, too.
JULIET – A CRISP VASE
Raid your recycling bin, because you might find a chic new styling piece hiding inside. Juliet’s showing you how to turn the humble crisp can into a rustic vase, using just a little bit of twine and a hot glue gun. The finished result looks so gorgeous, no one will ever believe its humble origins.
DR HARRY – WHERE PIGS FLY SANCTUARY
Where Pigs Fly is a not-for-profit farm sanctuary with one big mission: to build a kinder world for all animals. Owned and run by Debbie Pearce and her partner, Jamie Bedford, the farm is home to over 200 rescued, neglected and rehabilitated farm animals, each with its own story to tell. To celebrate the sanctuary’s 10th anniversary, Dr Harry’s dropping by to meet some of the volunteers who keep this place going and to meet a few cute farm animals along the way.
CLARISSA – BANANA DOUGNUTS
If you love doughnuts and you love banana bread, just wait till you try Clarissa’s homemade banana doughnuts. These classic Malaysian treats are easy to make and even easier to eat…you might want to make a double batch! Plus, it’s a great way to use up over-ripened bananas. What’s not to love?
GRAHAM – PAINTING WITH PERENNIALS
As an artist, Ralph Bristow is an expert in choosing and combing different colours…and it’s a skill he uses in his work as a garden designer, too. About five years ago, Ralph created a stunning garden on his 2.5-hectare plot near Barwite, in north-east Victoria. Named the Barwitian Gardens, they’re a masterclass in how to use perennials. Ralph ‘paints’ the landscape with them, combining colours, textures and forms to create this truly one-of-a-kind space. Graham’s meeting up with Ralph to find out more.
CHARLIE – HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
Starting a herb or veggie garden is one thing…but keeping it alive is quite another! Charlie’s revisiting one of his favourite home garden projects to share his secrets to maintaining a happy veggie patch that’ll look good now and into the future.
