“While our glorious leader has set his sights on a top job in the EU, our aim is more humble—to provide simple, home-cooked recipes that can be prepared during the daily 30-minute window when people aren’t at work or stuck in traffic.
While the precise format of the show is still being finalised, the pair confirmed that Joseph Muscat would be the special guest on the first episode of KKK.
Together, the trio will prepare a three-course meal consisting of Panamanian fried plantain cakes, followed by roast New Zealand lamb, and finally a dessert of Azerbaijani pakhlava.
