Adam Liaw: ‘The most famous person I’ve cooked for? Gordon Ramsay. My wife spilled a jug of water over him’
Adam Liaw reflects on personal memories, career experiences and cooking mishaps, including meeting Martin Yan, overcooking an expensive steak and avoiding a dangerous filming trip in Mexico. He discusses advice that has guided him, his dislike of garlic crushers, and why crème caramel would inspire a dessert named after him. He recalls cooking for Gordon Ramsay at a South African food festival, where a spilled jug of water became a memorable moment. His series North American Fan Feasts has launched on SBS.
