ADAM + DR HARRY – DOGGY DAY SPA
There’s nothing more relaxing than being pampered at the spa…but giving your dog a spa day is another matter! Whether you wash your pet pooch in the bath, or wash them with a hose in the garden, the experience can be messy, chaotic and thoroughly un-enjoyable – for both you and your dog! This week, Adam and Dr Harry are teaming up to build a designated outdoor bathing station for Poppy the golden retriever, which will not only make it a lot easier to wash her, it’ll make the experience a whole lot more pleasurable for her, too. Along the way, Dr Harry will share his top tips for washing your dog effectively and easily, so it’s not so much of an ordeal.
COLIN – EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA
There’s no greater pub classic than a good parmy…and if you ask Colin, the vegetarian version is just as good as the original. Layers of soft baked eggplant layered with tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil, it’s comforting, moreish and absolutely delicious.

JOHANNA – JAPANESE CULTURE WITH YOKO NAKAZAWA
It feels like Japan is on everyone’s travel wish list right now – from food to fashion, we just can’t get enough of its rich culture. So, this week, Johanna’s taking you on a trip to Japan without even leaving Australia. She’s in country Victoria to meet Yoko Nakazawa, a cook and author who loves sharing her passion for her culture with her adoptive home – from Japanese pickling to traditional kimonos, the art of calligraphy and more. Johanna’s visiting Yoko at home to check out her lush gardens – brimming with Japanese veggies – and to discover why we’re all so in love with Japan.
JULIET – TUBBY TABLES
Seventies style is making a big comeback – especially when it comes to furniture. The ‘tubby’ or ‘chubby’ furniture trend is all about soft curves and playful, blob-like shapes that capture the fun, carefree spirit of the era…but it can be very expensive! Juliet’s showing you how to get the look for less, by creating a console table and side table using a very unexpected material – storm water pipes. These tables don’t require many tools to make and they’re easy to put together…you’ve got to give them a try.

It’s not only the interior design world that’s embracing the seventies right now…the era is big in garden design, too!

A little bit retro, a little bit modern, this garden is a real showstopper.
ADAM – HOW TO MAKE A CHEAP DOOR LOOK EXPENSIVE
No one likes to be accused of looking cheap…and that includes your door! These days, detailed solid wood doors can be expensive, so Adam’s showing you how to make your standard off-the-shelf door look a little fancier.
CLARISSA – CHINESE-STYLE STEAMED SNAPPER
Clarissa’s Chinese-style snapper doesn’t just taste good, it’s a real piece of theatre at the dinner table! Steamed with green onions, ginger, coriander and red chilli and served with a soy and sugar sauce, boiling vegetable oil is poured over the fish just before serving, making the ginger and shallots sizzle and the fish crispy. It’s the perfect meal next time you’re entertaining.
