JOHANNA – CATCHING UP WITH RICKI-LEE
Ricki-Lee Coulter has come a long way since she first appeared as a contestant on Australian Idol in 2004. Twenty years on, she’s not only a bona-fide pop star – with five studio albums and countless hits to her name – she’s a radio host and TV-star too. So, it’s fair to say Ricki-Lee has a lot on her plate…and Johanna’s about to add a bit more! She’s meeting up with Ricki-Lee for lunch at Sydney’s Spice Alley to chat about her 4am wakeup calls for radio, the new season of Australian Idol, and what this massive foodie loves to eat the most.
ADAM – ARTIST IN GLASS – MARK ELIOTT
Adam is putting down his tools and stepping away from his work bench to meet an amazing artist keeping an old-school trade alive…and his work will absolutely blow your mind. Mark Eliott creates one-of-a-kind sculptures using the ancient art of glass blowing. It’s thrilling to watch him in action and this week, Adam’s meeting up with Mark at Among the Trees in Marrickville, where he teaches others his amazing craft. Adam’s having a go himself…but will he be able to handle the heat? There’s only one way to find out!

GRAHAM – FISHERMANS BAY GARDEN (AKAROA, NEW ZEALAND)
Nestled in the heart of an ancient volcano, Akaroa is New Zealand’s oldest French settlement – a charming harbourside village where the French flag flies above quaint bistros and bakeries. But just beyond the picture-perfect town lies something truly extraordinary. Fishermans Bay Garden is a stunning coastal masterpiece, blending untamed beauty with deliberate design. It’s the work of Jill Simpson, a landscape designer who was living in Christchurch when she met and fell in love with a dairy farmer, Richard, who already owned the property. Now, the husband-and-wife team live here full time and the garden they’ve created is truly one-of-a-kind. Graham’s meeting up with Jill and Richard for a tour of this stunning gem of a garden.

COLIN – HOMEMADE CHICKEN KIEV
Invented in the 19th century, chicken Kiev reached peak popularity in the 1970s…and now, it’s making a comeback! Colin’s version is stuffed with a herby, caper and garlic butter, then coated in panko breadcrumbs and fried until golden. Paired with the ultimate retro side dish, creamed spinach, it’s so much better than what you get from the freezer aisle…and a lot easier to make than you might think.
JULIET – HOW TO STYLE A COFFEE TABLE
Coffee tables aren’t just for your coffee. They can be a great opportunity to add style and personality to your living room…but it all depends on how you style them. This week, Juliet’s sharing the tricks she swears by to take your coffee table from bare to bold.
Saturday – Episode 15
DR HARRY – FRANKIE THE SALON BROOM CHASER
Nothing is more relaxing than a visit to the salon…unless Frankie the French Bulldog is about! At Danielle’s hair salon, clients come in for a fresh colour and cut, plus cuddles with the salon’s unofficial mascot, Frankie. It’s plenty of fun and smiles until clean-up time…because as soon as Danielle gets out the broom to sweep up the hair, Frankie goes into a frenzy. Chasing the broom is Frankie’s favourite game and although it’s funny at first, it’s also pretty exhausting. Dr Harry’s here to help Frankie calm down…and to stop Danielle from pulling her hair out!
CLARISSA – VIETNAMESE SPRING ROLLS
Ever since the chiko roll was invented way back in the 1950s, Aussies have loved spring rolls. This week, Clarissa’s sharing her version, and it’s so much better than what you can buy at the local take away. Made with pork, prawns, mushrooms and loads of spice, and served with a delicious chilli and lime dipping sauce, you won’t be able to stop at one.
MELISSA – FROM SEED TO SKIN
Whoever said beauty is only skin deep has never visited this gem of a farm. Nestled in the rolling Adelaide Hills, Jurlique Farm, which shares its name with the iconic Australian skincare brand, is a place where the healing powers of nature are celebrated. For more than 40 years, the farm has grown powerful natural ingredients for their skincare range, harvesting plants in harmony with the rhythms of nature. Melissa’s here to explore the magical landscape and to learn more about the fascinating journey of these botanicals from seed to skin.
CHARLIE – SUBURBAN BLISS
There’s one question behind every great garden: what are the best plants for the local conditions? If you get this right, your garden is pretty much guaranteed to be a success…and Charlie’s found a suburban front and back garden that prove it. He’s in Sydney’s eastern suburbs to take a look around a stunning oasis with the perfect plant palette…and it was created by a pair of homeowners with no professional training in landscape design or gardening. Featuring a perfect blend of coastal and tropical plants, plus an internal courtyard with a plunge pool, Charlie’s finding out how these homeowners were able to create such a magical space.

JULIET – SUN ART
Did you know that it’s possible to create photographs without a camera? Before the digital age, and even before traditional photography was invented in the 1820s, it was possible to make camera-less photographic prints using the power of the sun. It’s called cyanotype printing and results in beautiful blue and white prints that are truly one-of-a-kind. Not only is the technique still around today, but it’s also actually something you can do yourself at home. This week, Juliet’s showing you how to create beautiful botanical cyanotypes which you’ll want to hang all over your house.
