In a barren post-apocalyptic future, the seven sexy Goddesses of Merkabatron descend upon a wretched Earth to convey the message that the Vibration of Love can heal all. A campy, erotic, science fiction comedy, this cinematic love child of Barbarella and Ed Wood Jr. will soon have your Titillator vibrating on a cosmic level.

Anna and Kristina tackle recipes from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's seventh cookbook, "Cook with Jamie", which purports to be able to make its users a better chef. So they figure that there is no one better to be their guest chef taster than David Wong, an award winning executive chef and culinary instructor, whose culinary philosophy is strong on research. The two prepare seven recipes: overnight slow roasted pork, fresh crunchy prawns, asparagus risotto, beet salad, a green salad, shortbread (the best in the world according to the cookbook), and a fruit filled meringue. Jamie, through the cookbook, strongly recommends using fresh local organic food products, Jamie comparing commercially raised meat to cheap running shoes. So Anna and Kristina decide to make two pork roasts, one with organic meat and one commercially raised meat to see if there really is a difference. They also decide that there is nothing fresher than going to catch one's own food, so they go out with some commercial prawners to catch some spot prawns for their meal. For the green salad, they test salad spinners.

Anna and Kristina are figuratively heading to both New York and France to test "Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook". The cookbook, written by the titled chef, includes recipes from the famed New York French bistro Les Halles, considered one of the best outside of France, where Bourdain once served as its executive chef. They are making five dishes in three hours: celery rémoulade, steak tartare, Les Halles fries, duck à l'orange, and crème brûlée. Their guest taster is Thierry Rautureau, the executive chef at two Seattle based French bistros, and who is probably most well known for his appearance on Top Chef Masters (2009). With the recipes and Chef Thierry being their guest, Anna and Kristina are feeling in a very French mood despite not actually being in France. That mood is tempered by Bourdain's straightforward writing style and anecdotes within the cookbook. In addition, they discuss different types of potatoes and what they should be used for, and they get a lesson on the importance of mise en place.

Anna and Kristina realize that they have big shoes to fill in preparing recipes from "Food & Wine" as the book is associated with the famed A16 Restaurant in San Francisco, so named for a highway in Italy, the Campagna region the highway is in which is the inspiration for their rustic Italian dishes. They are preparing five dishes in four hours: bruschetta with braised artichoke, guanciale and chicken livers, roasted beet salad, pizza Romana, Monday meatballs, and grapefruit sorbetto. Their guest tasters are Frank Falcinelli and Frank Castronovo, executive chefs and co-owners of Frankies Spuntino, one of the most well known and renowned restaurants in Brooklyn specializing in rustic Italian cuisine. They are known as two chefs who will tell Anna and Kristina exactly what they think. Anna and Kristina are most concerned about making them good meatballs as the Chef Frankies are meatball champions of Brooklyn. Anna however is looking forward most to the pizza, her favorite food in the world, and which they hope to impress by making both the dough and sauce from scratch. In addition, they test different styles of meat grinders. And they get a lesson in how to fillet an anchovy.
