Kitchen Cabinet is a TV program in Australia on the ABC, hosted by Annabel Crabb.
Contents
Format
The format is an informal interview program with Australian politicians over a meal prepared by both Crabb and her guest, normally in their home. Crabb brings a dessert and the guest provides their choice of main meal. It is in the 30-minute format.
On several occasions, there have been two guests, typically with one being a self-confessed non-cook who brings in a helper. Crabb chats with the guest(s) during the preparation, and the meal while they eat.
Crabb's being pescotarian has meant that on some occasions the protein for her has been fish-based. Her food preference has also been a factor in her preparation of the desserts.
The show has received mostly positive reviews.
Guests
Crabb has said that her most memorable show was with Senator Nigel Scullion, when he took her collecting crustaceans in the coastal mud flats of the Northern Territory.
