| Summary |
Following on from his cook's tour through Japan, Adam Liaw returns to the screen to give Australia and New Zealand the Destination Flavour treatment. In this gastronomic road trip of a lifetime, Adam travels along the untouched beauty of Australia's Western Coast, through the baking desert of the Red Centre and onto the tree changer's paradise of northern New South Wales, taking in secret destinations that most city-dwellers wouldn't even know exist. But his journey doesn't end there. Adam then hops over the ditch and gets back in the driver's seat for a culinary cruise through New Zealand. There he discovers some of the world's most spectacular scenery and food.Throughout his journey Adam meets and celebrates a whole new cast of farmers, foragers, artisan food producers, chefs and winemakers, all with appetising stories to tell. They are real people with real stories and their passion, innovation and dedication is what inspires Adam to use their ingredients to create some delicious new dishes.Western Australia's wheat-belt is abundant with ancient crops, and on this journey from the outskirts of Perth to Narembeen, Adam meets many hardworking farmers who have based their livelihoods on unusual ingredients. It's grape-picking season in the Swan Valley and, while visiting a couple whose Croatian ancestors have been growing table grapes for centuries, Adam whips up a grape and rosemary focaccia. He then visits a pistachio orchard nearby. Peaches are also in season, so Adam lends a hand in a fruit-packing shed and makes an Italian-inspired dessert with this fleshy stone fruit. He next meets a wheat-turned-quinoa farmer and learns of the challenges of making the South American crop work. After meeting a farmer running an Egyptian breed of sheep, Adam creates a Middle Eastern lamb masterpiece.
