Fill the void in your life by joining celebrity chef, Kate McLennan, and her food intolerant friend, Kate McCartney, as they cook their way into the Food Culture Revolution with a series of edible recipes! Watch as The Kates create food intolerant-friendly meals and explore modern culinary trends like quitting sugar, food porn, food trucks and drinking shit out of jars! They road test everybody’s favourite culinary moneysuck, the Thermomix, and sample a range of libations like wine, whiskey and kombucha, the hot new drink that combines parasitical fungi with intestinal spasming! The Katering Show! Change your life through the power of good food and even better Friendship.
The Kates explore the cultural phenomenon/plague of food trucks and eating in gutters by creating a food intolerant-friendly Mexican quesadilla, then eating it in a gutter!
As an ex-vegetarian, McCartney wants to be thoughtful about the meat that she eats. And as a wanker, McLennan wants to use her new pressure cooker. In this episode The Kates prepare a ragu that is food intolerant-friendly and made from a non-cute animal.
In an attempt to live forever, and become just like their Instagram idol, Sarah Wilson, McCartney and McLennan give up the sweet stuff; sugar. Please Note: This episode is booze, sugar, gluten, fructose, lactose and personality-free.
McCartney and McLennan pit the latest kitchen appliance moneysuck, the Thermomix, against traditional cooking methods, in a food intolerant-friendly "Risotto-Off". But what method will create the most delicious risotto? And is "delicious risotto" a contradiction in terms?
In an episode devoted to style over substance, control-freak McLennan hands over her chef’s hat to the very vain McCartney, who sets about creating a pretty, sparkly cupcake. But what will have the worse outcome- McCartney as chef, or McLennan as not- chef?
The Kates reach the end of their food journey and celebrate with a Christmas feast that is impregnated with their family memories. Warning: Features turkey fisting and role-play acting.
The Katering Show returns for another stroll through the smorgasbord of modern food trends. Kate McLennan remains the smug foodie who spends her time at her local farmers market while food intolerant Kate McCartney is still spending her days avoiding foods containing gluten, lactose, fructose, wheat, dairy, nuts, chilli or joy. At the heart of this show is the relationship between the two Kates and their very different views on food. While McLennan believes in the healing power of a healthy meal, McCartney believes none of it. And the Truth, like a prawn in a sushi roll, lies somewhere in the middle, covered in cold tempura batter and salmonella.
It's the first episode of The Katering Show Series 2 and the Kates are not coping with the pressure. Battling nervous breakdowns, they try to negotiate everyone's high expectations by creating an on-trend pop-up Ramen bar.
The Kates don teething necklaces and use their position as "New Celebrity Mums" to work through some postnatal traumas and create two recipes that take the terms "Yummy Mummy" way, way too literally.
McLennan has found a cure for McCartney's debilitating lactose intolerance. To celebrate, McLennan makes a cheese feast stuffed with dairy loaded puns and delusion; afflictions that, unfortunately, have no known cure.
McCartney and McLennan subject themselves, and a very special guest, to the latest diet torture regimes; paleo, raw food and the 5:2 diet. But which of the trio will discover the bikini body lurking deep inside?
McLennan and McCartney embrace the food philosophy of their culinary hero, Maggie Beer. The over-worked women commit a whole day to making a lamb shoulder and peddling their own verjuice substitute; Dianaberry Juice.
McCartney and McLennan create canapes for a viewer's sit down beach wedding. But when the women hit the champagne, they dish up the bride some truths that, just like wedding canapes, are served hard and cold.
McLennan and McCartney invite comedian and star of The Daily Show (USA), Ronny Chieng, into the The Katering Show kitchen. Threatened by a competent, likeable actual celebrity, McLennan heads towards DEFCON 1.
In the final episode, the Kates fulfil the dual directive of solving climate change and celebrating the end of the series by making a memory-filled Bubble'n'Squeak using leftovers from Series 2.
