S1 E4: In the decade of big shoulder pads, big hair, and a booming economy, Annabel takes Peter and Carol to meet chef Peter Gilmore to discover that we paid big bucks to eat small things on extra big plates. The family take on the diet wars of Atkins and Pritikin in a now completely open plan kitchen and dining area. The coming of the microwave means the Ferrone's social bond of sharing a home-cooked meal begins to disappear, as do our waistlines.
