The Chef Presents was an early Australian television series, which aired from 1957 to 1959 on Melbourne station HSV-7, and was hosted by Willi Koeppen,[1] who became a celebrity in Melbourne due to the series. At one point, the series aired in a 5-minute time-slot,[2] later expanding to a 15-minute timeslot at 7:15 p.m.[1] before being moved to 2:15 p.m.,[3] and finally aired at 4:00 p.m.[4] In 1976, long after the series ended, Koeppen mysteriously vanished.[5] One of the earliest cooking shows on Australian television,[6] there is little information available on the series, and it is unlikely that any kinescope recordings exist of it.
