Beyond her culinary pursuits, Bero is known for her community-centric approach, mentoring budding Indigenous chefs and promoting diversity within her workforce.
The small-living trend is also brought to focus in this episode.

Meanwhile, Fast Ed’s cooking segments promise to unite the audience in appreciation for the usually divisive Brussels sprout, and tempt them with an upside-down banana and orange cake bathed in a lime caramel sauce.
The Brook family’s pioneering journey into the macadamia farming business also features in this episode, as Charlie explores their transformation of a former dairy farm into a flourishing business that has restored an ancient rainforest.
In the health segment, Melissa brings to light the benefits of herbs during the cold winter months. She initiates a small-space herb project and heads to a reverse garbage centre to add a sustainable touch.
