This week on Better Homes & Gardens Charlie Albone visits the United States Botanic Gardens, and Johanna meets young foodie superstar Morgan Hipworth.
Charlie – Washington DC Gardens Week 2
Washington DC is so packed full of museums, monuments, cool restaurants and gardens, Charlie needed two weeks to fit it all in. So, in his second week touring the US capital, he takes in the United States Botanic Gardens with its massive greenhouses and the unbelievably beautiful private estate of Hillwood. But it’s not all about the gardens, so Charlie checks out the oldest saloon in the city and one of the newest, funkiest hotels, that has amazing views of the area. If you’re thinking of heading to the U.S. for a holiday, you might want to add Washington DC to your list.
Colin Butterflied Chicken With Charred Leek & Sweet Potato
Colin loves his barbecue so much he’s going to cook fried chicken on it. Well, sort of. He’s using all the flavours you would normally associate with fried chicken, but cooked directly over the barbecue’s flames, so you don’t have the flour or frying process. While this chicken will be delicious enough to have on its own, it’s even more tasty when paired with charred leek and sweet potato. To top it off he’ll show you how to make a fantastic vinegarette to balance out the flavours. The only thing this dish needs, is friends to enjoy it with.
Johanna – Morgan Hipworth: Sweet Success
Morgan Hipworth’s culinary star is rising as fast as baked goods. At age 13 he began supplying cafes with his homemade doughnuts and by 15 opened his own donut shop. Somehow, he managed to finish high school while doing double duty as a shop owner… and do it very successfully! Not only has his empire grown, but he’s become a star on social media with over a million followers. Tonight, Joh meets this sensation with a spatula, to see how his equipment has grown from a bench-top mixing machine to something much bigger. It’s his new project, a fine-dining restaurant, where he can showcase his broad range of cooking skills, that has Morgan most excited. But Joh doesn’t just get a tour, she gets a cooking lesson too, when Morgan shows her how to make his ultimate chocolate cake.

Dr Harry – When Harry Met Gary
Introducing a new pet into the family home doesn’t always go with a smooth transition. And it is even harder when your new pet can walk, squawk, fly and generally behave like a bit of a galah! That’s just what Dr Harry is facing with Gary, a Corella-Galah cross, who is well behaved for some members of his family, and vicious to others. Can he help this beloved bird love his family in equal measure? Tune-in to find out what happened when Harry met Gary.
Adam – Easy Peasy Coffee Table
This would have to be the easiest build ever done on Better Homes and Gardens. Tonight, Adam builds a stylish coffee/occasional table in the scandi-style with tapered and splayed legs. All the materials you need to build this project are available off the shelf from the hardware store, but there are only four, and even if you’ve never touched a hammer before, we think you could still easily make this super stylish coffee table.
