The Cook and the Chef: Autumn Treats

In series two of the Cook and the Chef, the two passionate advocates of the best of seasonal food, Maggie Beer and Simon Bryant, continue to unearth the freshest and best seasonal produce and take it back to the Cook and the Chef kitchen to produce dishes to treat our senses. Autumn is the time for harvesting wonderful fruit and vegetables, and in these 10 programs, Maggie and Simon find apples, onions, beetroot, pears, eggplant, bananas, pumpkins, mushrooms and hazelnuts and combine them to produce a wide variety of dishes. Maggie Beer is renowned for her commitment to the region in which she lives, the Barossa Valley, and for promoting good produce Australia wide. Simon Bryant is an Executive Chef who has a passion for using fresh local produce in his restaurant menus, reducing the food miles we eat. Episodes: 1. Pears 2. Mediterranean Style 3.
