Starting in Australia’s thriving cosmopolitan west coast city of Perth Jonathan lives like a true Aussie when he cooks prawns on the barbie with Chef Russell Blaikie, gets a little pick-me-up when he samples an expresso martini and pays homage to the area’s printing press history with Chef Shane Watson’s black and white menu. Embarking on the first stage of his continent crossing journey, Jonathan boards the Indian Pacific, talks culinary influences and dines with Australian Masterchef winner Adam Liaw and has a go at cheese creation with artisan maker Chris Lloyed. Crossing the immense Nallabor plains Jonathan makes a brief stop at Cook, the once bustling historic town that now has a population of just four people. Back on board and heading to South Australia’s capital Jonathan samples an array of bush tucker with Chef Mark Olive and learns the outback isn’t as barren as it first appears. Attempting to get his signature dish, seafood curry, on the train menu Jonathan hits Adelaide’s food market in search of the perfect ingredients, cooking up a treat for Food Manager Bradley and visits the town of Broken Hill the location for Pricilla Queen of the Desert before saying good bye to the Indian Pacific as they arrive at the end of the line in Sydney.
