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’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.
