Returning: Kitchen Cabinet with Annabel Crabb

Annabel Crabb is returning for a fifth season of Kitchen Cabinet (possibly now retitled as Kitchen Cabinet with Annabel Crabb).

There are six episodes featuring Scott Morrison, Ricky Muir, Senator Richard Di Natale, Nova Peris, Christopher Pyne and Anthony Albanese.

Annabel Crabb said: “It’s been a great year. Though I feel I owe an apology to the family of the goose I plucked in Kakadu. Also, the neighbours of the drag track I went to with Ricky Muir; I hope they weren’t trying to have a snooze or anything.”

From dragway tracks in regional Victoria, to remote parts of Kakadu and the wildest, most inhospitable place of all – Canberra – Annabel travels the country in search of a good meal and an insight into the life of the curious creature that is the Australian politician.

Fortunately, none of Annabel’s guests has taken advantage of former PM Tony Abbott’s top-level endorsement earlier this year of serving onions whole and raw.

Join Scott Morrison as he cooks a Sri Lankan fish curry and opens up about his childhood acting career, his faith and reflections on his time as Immigration Minister. Motoring Enthusiast Party Senator Ricky Muir takes Annabel for a ride in two vehicles (one bumpy, one fast) and talks about his unexpected rise to political prominence. Senator Richard Di Natale, Leader of the Greens, invites Annabel to his off-the-grid farm and makes nearly every element of his meal from scratch, including the pizza oven. Gold medal Olympian Nova Peris takes Annabel to her family’s country nestled in beautiful Kakadu, where they cook by a campfire, eat by a billabong teeming with crocodiles and discuss Senator Peris’ life to date. And in a Kitchen Cabinet first, at a Chinese restaurant in Canberra deemed neutral territory, Annabel hosts a bi-partisan lunch with Liberal Minister Christopher Pyne and Labor MP Anthony Albanese.
