Born to Cook: Jack Stein Down Under

Local man Charlie and his two sons take Jack out on the beautiful Lake Argyle, famous for a fish called the Silver Cobbler, and its population of 35,000 crocodiles. Jack showcases this unique fish in a spicy Vindaloo before setting out to find out why Kununurra is perfectly suited to growing Chia, the Superfood the whole world is going crazy for. After incorporating the super seeds into a kid friendly healthy pizza, Jack visits a local hoochery to taste rums for an adult only desert, Rub Baba.

Jack finds his way to Broome, famous for its beaches and abundant sea life, as well as a rich pearling history which has led to a multicultural melting pot of culinary traditions. First stop, a place called Cape Leveque, home to many Indigenous communities, and some of the worlds’ best fishing with local traditional owner Brian Lee. After a successful catch, Brian agrees to make Jack his secret Blachang recipe - the perfect spicy accompaniment to fresh caught fish.

Jack ventures out to sea with an indigenous guide. The unique fresh produce they catch proves perfect for one of Jack's favourite meals, clams with XO sauce.

Chef Jack Stein spends time on a farm and helps them fruit pick. He then makes watermelon nam jim, a recipe inspired by his friend’s restaurant.
