REPEAT

This week on The Cook And The Chef, Simon Bryant and Maggie Beer celebrate Stephanie Alexander's contribution to food in Australia. In the kitchen, Simon and Maggie inspired by Stephanie, delve into their pantry and fridge to see what they can create. Maggie finds potato left over from a pizza, and pumpkin from a cous cous dish. She brings these left-overs to life with various ingredients to create a frittata. Simon's pantry staples include lentils and rice and he uses a combination of both to make a warming risotto which features some great winter veggies like leek and fennel. Maggie also makes one of Stephanie's Kitchen Garden recipes, a wonderful warm polenta and rosemary bread with corn. Like Maggie, Simon wouldn't make anything with kids that he wouldn't enjoy eating himself and his cheesy potatoes are no exception.
