Summer’s just around the corner and soon the days in the Barossa Valley will be hot and the risk of snakes too high to roam far, so Maggie is making the most of the last mild weather. She and husband, Colin, take the grandchildren on a picnic and, in Spring, it’s all about yabbying. In the kitchen Maggie and Simon approach the sweet and delicate yabby in two very different ways. Maggie serves her yabbies 'au Naturel' while Simon makes creamy bisque. In his second dish Simon captures summer , using every part of the corn to make central American Tamales, while Maggie turns a piece of traditionally smoked ham into a dramatic work of art. Simon and Maggie then compliment their savoury fare with the season’s first flush of raspberries.
