Finale
In July 2009, Maggie Beer and Simon Bryant announced they had decided to end the series after four years. The finale aired on 16 September 2009 with "Party" as the theme of the episode.[5][4]
Beer explained her decision to end the series: "The demands of filming on my family and business have led me to the difficult decision to leave the show. It's been a privilege for me to have been able to share my passion for food with Simon and our audience. It always gives me joy when I feel I have inspired people to explore the wonderful produce that Australia has to offer."[5]
Bryant recalled: "When I started the show I had no idea that my journey with Maggie about the love of food would teach me so much, and I'll miss the camaraderie of our days in the kitchen together. I have to laugh when people call me a celebrity chef, I don't think people realise that I have a whole other life, coordinating 800 or so meals a day as an Executive Chef at a five-star hotel. I am looking forward to spending a bit more time back in my kitchens… and getting a little more sleep will be a bonus!"[5]
