In this episode, Prue welcomes cook, teacher, and gardener, Sarah Raven. Sarah impresses Prue and viewers alike with her innovative garden tempura dish, offering a unique twist on traditional tempura using fresh ingredients straight from the garden.

Prue, in turn, introduces viewers to one of her favorite, albeit slightly unusual, recipes: mackerel with roasted strawberries and tomatoes. It’s a combination that might surprise some, but Prue’s expert culinary skills shine as she demonstrates how these flavors come together beautifully.

While Prue works her magic in the kitchen, John explores the great outdoors. With the help of head gardener Phillippa, he harvests homegrown salad ingredients, ensuring the freshest possible addition to their culinary creations. Prue also shares her foolproof method for making the perfect salad dressing, a skill that every home cook will appreciate.

This week’s food hero is Richard Smith, the manager of a local organic farm. Viewers will be treated to a behind-the-scenes look at his work, highlighting the importance of local produce and sustainable farming practices.

Back in the kitchen, Prue teaches John how to cook one of his most-loved dishes. To complete the meal, John shakes up a spicy margarita cocktail, adding a touch of flair to their dining experience.
