Beloved cook Poh Ling Yeow is joining Alice for a bite to eat, and before she arrives Alice prepares a slow-cooked lamb shank and tarragon stew that melts in the mouth.

Poh challenges Alice to bake something up to Poh’s high standards – a delicious matcha lamington cake.
EPISODE 3 – Colin Lane

Alice prepares an anchovy snack for actress Pia Miranda. Pia gifts Alice some jarred artichokes, an ode to the stuffed artichokes her Nonna used to make.

Alice discovers Pia has an aversion to creamy sauces, she steps up to help Pia move past traumatic memories of a dodgy Past Alfredo by cooking her mouth-watering Mushroom Wet Fry Fettucini.
