The Perfect Serve is a five-part, premium lifestyle documentary series that follows the journey of three unique and inspiring female chefs as they prepare to deliver a first-class menu at one of Australia’s most exclusive dining events.
From the heart of Melbourne, we take a look inside the AO Chef Series, a unique and innovative pop-up dining experience that has become a highlight of the Australian Open. Akin to elite athletes making their way to the Australian Open of tennis, we unveil the stellar lineup of female chefs set to headline the AO Chef Series in 2020.
We head to Bangkok, Tasmania and Mumbai for an intimate portrait of these three passionate chefs, Bo Songvisava, Analiese Gregory and Sarah Todd. We take an intimate look into the process these chefs go through to conceive, source and test their menus and join them on their journey as they travel far and wide, meeting farmers, growers and producers, in search of the best ingredients for their signature dishes.
And finally, after months of planning, we go behind the scenes to get a firsthand look at the culinary and logistical challenges of staging this premium dining event, taking place in the heart of a major global sporting event.
Providing a unique insight into the high adrenaline demands of fine dining food service, we follow each chef as they navigate the high-pressure environment of a commercial kitchen in full operation and put their reputations on the line as VIPs, chefs and international foodies line up to put their food under the microscope.
My Restaurant In India follows Sarah Todd as she abandons her fashionable Melbourne lifestyle and heads to Goa to face the daunting challenge of setting up and running a 400-seat beach club and restaurant.
But...in an industry where only one out of three new restaurants survive, is this just a flight of fancy?
Perched on the cliffs above one of the most exclusive stretches of beach in Goa, expectations for this young and passionate restaurant rookie are sky-high. With very little industry experience, Sarah has everything to learn about running a restaurant. Armed only with her wits, a burning passion for great food and a deep love of India, we follow Sarah as she strives to turn her restaurant dreams into reality, against the backdrop of a foreign land where she’ll need to find her feet...quickly!
There’s a long list of things that need to be done and upon arrival, Sarah soon discovers that things in India are done a bit differently. With the builders trying to finish construction only weeks before the official restaurant opening, Sarah needs to oversee the interior design and furnishing of the restaurant, set up the kitchen, devise a menu, source produce and find and train chefs and staff. She will also have to juggle her duties as a young mother with her mischievous five-year-old son, Phoenix, tagging along for this life-changing journey.
This six-part series will follow Sarah through the crucial stages of the restaurant development, through the chaos of opening night and beyond as she sets about creating the ultimate Goan beach dining experience.
