澳洲是移民之國，獲獎大廚尚恩康諾利也是眾多移民之一。他在家鄉英國學成廚藝之後，就在世界上最豪華的郵輪伊莉莎白 2 號擔任廚師。後來他定居澳洲，成為雪梨一家頂級餐廳的大廚。如今，在《我家的團圓飯》這個節目中，他和來自世界各地的移民齊聚一堂，瞭解他們的料理和文化傳統。
許多來自剛果民主共和國的非洲人定居在雪梨西部的郊區，在彼此家裡聚會分享食物與交誼，對他們來說是習以為常的事。尚恩先去姆布依的菜園採傳統非洲蔬菜，然後再前往艾塞克和賈斯汀的家，這裡已成為他們的非洲朋友非正式的聚集地。賈斯汀和她的朋友史黛拉跟瑞秋將要負責料理今天的大餐。

A along with/together with B
A連同 B一起
along with/together with 的意思和連接詞 and 相近，解釋為「和……一起」。但必須要注意的是，由於 along with/together with 後方接的事物是附帶的，所以句子中動詞應隨主詞變化。類似的片語還有 accompanied by，或是直接用 with 也可以。
例 Bill went to the supermarket along with Debbie.
比爾跟黛比一起上超市。

料理動詞
「煮」boil 就是用水煮，「蒸」steam 則是利用水蒸氣。但是說到「烤」，英文有好幾個動詞。broil 和 grill 都是用火烤，真要細分差別的話，火力由上往下的叫 broil，而由下往上的則是 grill。一般來說 bake 限用於烤箱上，舉凡烤蛋糕、甜點等糕點也都用 bake。而 roast 只用在以烤箱或烤肉架烤肉或烤魚時使用。長時間燉煮會用 stew，但以文火慢煮或燉則是用 simmer。「炒」則為 stir-fry；fry 一般指「煎」，「炸」是 deep fry，「嫩炸或煎」則是 saute [s7`te]（法文）。

從文中可知，越南料理用到大量的「調和」動作，一般可用 mix 來涵蓋，但講究點的話則有「攪拌」whisk，例如打蛋或打奶油都是用 whisk。 stir除了表示「攪拌」，也常用來指炒菜時的「翻炒」。baste 是指「將熱油澆淋在主菜」的動作。「切」和「剁」的英文都是 chop，將肉「剁碎」則是 chop up。「磨碎」起司則是用 grate。
