Maggie Beer's Big Mission

Maggie Beer begins her experiment, meeting residents and staff, and sets out a road map of what needs to be done.

The training phase of the experiment is underway and Australia's food icon Maggie Beer introduces new protein-rich recipes using fresh ingredients.

The pressure is on and cracks are showing as the team push to make the improvements in time for the Minister for Aged Care's visit.

Chef, author and Australian food icon Kylie Kwong creates a dish inspired by her Cantonese heritage and dedicated to her mother.

Mabu Mabu chef Nornie Bero shares a dish jam-packed with flavour and memories of her upbringing in the Torres Strait, dedicated to her dad and is an ode to her elders.

Food author and cook Julia Busuttil Nishimura says sharing food with others is an act of love she learnt from her mother, and together they recreate a special Maltese family recipe.
