Adam Liaw's songs that set him off

Who knew cooking competitions would take over Australian television? Back in 2010 the finale for the second season of Masterchef became the most watched non-sporting event of that year. And the winner? Adam Liaw. This Malaysian-Australian lawyer had been working in Japan when he decided to enter the Masterchef competition. He became a firm favourite, and after that victory… everything changed. Adam published a handful of cookbooks, became the host of a brilliant cooking show on SBS called Destination Flavour, started a family, and kept everyone entertained on his always active Twitter account. He’s has been in to Take 5 before, back in 2013. And he was so good, I asked him to return. Across five songs, Adam shared the moments in his life where things changed. Whether it was playing tennis air guitar in a childhood bedroom, or bonding with his wife over a new fave, this co-host will make you fall in love with this legend even more.
