This week The Cook and The Chef celebrates 100 episodes with a very special guest - Peter Cundall of Gardening Australia fame.
Early in 2008, Maggie Beer and Simon Bryant met Peter at the Gardening Australia Expo and they all got on like a 'house on fire'.

Simon decided to give Maggie a special surprise and has organised Peter to come and give them both some strategic help in their gardens.
Peter has a look at Simon's small suburban plot and suggests a few potatoes he could grow. In the kitchen, Simon takes up the challenge and cooks a potato and chickpea curry.

Maggie uses her potatoes to make a great gnocchi and prawn dish.
Peter then visits Maggie's vegie patch and is thrilled to see she's planted kale - a vegetable that Pete reckons is so full of vitamins and minerals that "you can hear it doing you good". Maggie makes Peter a great kale and silverbeet tart and Simon makes onion bhajis to go with his curry.

The Cook and The Chef will be repeated on ABC2 – Thursday, June 12 at 4:30pm
