Adam Liaw’s work has taken him around the globe. He has travelled everywhere from Singapore to Scandinavia to showcase the world’s best dishes on TV, and ventured to Africa’s Great Lakes region in his role as a Unicef ambassador for nutrition. At home in Sydney he samples cuisines of all kinds on The Cook Up with Adam Liaw, the SBS series he has hosted for more than 700 episodes.
