The first stop on the Ainsley's Australian Market Menu is Willunga, a bustling farmers market in a charming, little town in South Australia. After setting up his stall Ainsley goes in search of the finest produce for his menu. Along the way he discovers some glorious pork loin from a rare breed pig farmer, for his spicy ‘Chargrilled Jerk Pork'. For dessert, Ainsley selects some juicy strawberries and rich cream for a simple layered treat that honours seasonal ingredients.

Ainsley is headed up north to the ‘Global Food Market' in Logan to experience one of the world's most culturally diverse markets. With so many exotic fruits and vegetables on offer, the challenge is on to turn this bounty of global produce into a market menu that will win over the locals. Ainsley meets hardworking local farmer, Ram, who was originally born in Fiji and grows all of his own produce in his backyard. Ainsley discovers its Ram's 85th birthday, and thinks it only fitting to cook him a vegetarian curry to celebrate, using Ram's very own unique ingredient, ‘kundru'.
