Maggie Beer's cooking has always been inspired by the use of the freshest local produce in season and she describes herself as a Mediterranean cook who lives in the Barossa, SA. But she has a food secret; for 20 years she has been intrigued by Japanese food. In this feature documentary, Maggie sets off to Japan, fired by her love of learning and a challenge to produce an exciting Japanese inspired feast for her Barossa friends. We join her in Tokyo, then travel across the mountains north to rural Noto Peninsula, and finally south to Osaka. During this journey she meets chefs, eats their food, and joins their lives - and in true Maggie style, there is a lot of laughter and love.
