“This season of The Cook Up is our biggest and best yet. We’ve got stars of stage and screen like Rachel Ward, Lincoln Younes, Christie Whelan Browne, and Eddie Perfect. International megastars like Michael Mosley, Martin Yan and Ievgen Klopotenko.
There’s hit dishes from Australia’s cult restaurants like Porkfat, Etta, Byron Bay’s Bar Heather and Chae (where the waitlist is 8 years long!) and all the great conversations that people have come to expect from The Cook Up.
I have fans of the show come up to me every single day telling me how they never miss an episode, and I know they’re going love this season as much as I do.”
Emily Griggs, SBS Head of Food, also commented on the show’s appeal:
“The Cook Up has firmly established itself as the ultimate destination for delectable recipes and engaging conversation, boasting over 250 new recipes this season to inspire our SBS viewers’ kitchens.
Personally, I highly value the ‘Easy Entertaining’ episodes airing every Friday, offering a simple guide to hosting events. Relieve your entertaining stress by following three meticulously crafted recipes tailored for the same event.
Whether you’re planning a sophisticated canapé and cocktail party, a charming French Provincial Picnic, or a flavourful Eid al-Fitr Feast to celebrate the end of Ramadan, The Cook Up caters to everyone’s tastes.
With ideas and recipes for both everyday meals and special events, The Cook Up stands as your ultimate culinary companion.”
Produced internally by SBS, “The Cook Up” will be available for streaming on SBS On Demand, with subtitles in multiple languages including Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Arabic, Vietnamese, and Korean.
