Adam Liaw Is Going To Die
ADAM LIAW IS GOING TO DIE.
As irritatingly clever and kind and funny as he is, it pains me to tell you that chef, TV host and writer Adam Liaw is definitely going to die. But he's okay about it! Sort of, kind of, whenever he actually gives the idea of his own mortality some thought - which isn't often. In this episode, Adam puts his formidable brain to the task of planning his Dream Funeral - discussing legacies passed down via food, updating wills, and whether children should ever be allowed at funerals...
Adam Liaw is a cook, TV presenter and writer based in Sydney, Australia. The winner of MasterChef Australia’s hugely popular second season, Adam’s triumph on the show still remains the #1 most watched non-sporting event in Australian television history. He was born in Malaysia before moving to Australia at a young age, and has lived and worked around the world including Australia, China, Malaysia, New Zealand, India and most recently a 7-year stint in Tokyo, Japan.
Adam currently hosts the primetime food and travel program Destination Flavour on Australia’s SBS network, and is the author of the two cookbooks – Asian After Work and Two Asian Kitchens. He writes a regular column for The Wall Street Journal's Scene Asia and contributes regularly to Australian newspapers and magazines.
