A delightful half hour of cooking and entertainment with a side of laughs, The Cook Up reaches 500 episodes this series, an incredible milestone in just two years, with all previous seasons of the series available to stream now on SBS On Demand.

Every weekday, two foodie friends join host, Adam Liaw.

This series sees more famous faces in the world of food and entertainment at the benchtop. Guests include culinary stars such as Asma Khan, Tony Tan, Alison Roman, Matt Stone, Khanh Ong, Lucy Tweed, Lara Lee and Andy Hearnden, as well as Australian legends in the world of sports, entertainment, art and social media such as Paralympic athlete Isis Holt, Nina Oyama, Brihony Dawson, SBS' Alone Australia winner Gina Chick, Michelle Law, Osher G nsberg, Gail Mabo, Esther Song, Adam Spencer and Daen Lia.

This season of The Cook Up will kick off with a week-long celebration for NAIDOC Week and for the first time will have a guest host, Nornie Bero of Melbourne's Mabu Mabu, taking over the reins from Adam for the week.

The ultimate food and friends half hour to inspire viewers in their own kitchens, every Friday Adam demonstrates how to be hosts with the most' at home, with guests including event stylist to the stars, Lucy Tweed, Adam Spencer, Nina Oyama and many more.

Presenter, Adam Liaw, says The public response to The Cook Up has truly been extraordinary. Everywhere I go people tell me that its part of their nightly routine. I see people cooking recipes from the show and tagging me on social media daily, people sending their questions in for us to answer on air, and so many parents who tell us their kids watch the show and learn to cook every single night. In Season 5 were back with some of the biggest global stars in food, but our focus is always local. Weve got great ideas for everyday cooking, but well also show you how to throw a great Friday night dinner party, and the food truly reflects how we all cook in Australia. Everything we cook on The Cook Up is real food that really makes sense to Australians. SBS continued support for The Cook Up has been incredible, and with Season 5 taking us over 500 episodes were officially the largest ever commissioned program in SBS history.

Emily Griggs, SBS Head of Food, says There's nothing better than getting together with friends over great food and The Cook Up invites you to do that every episode. This season SBS and The Cook Up team celebrated an extraordinary milestone of 500 episodes. It continues to bring a feast of menu ideas from nibbles through to desserts. Easy Entertaining on Friday nights will provide the ultimate guide to stress-free entertaining, whether you're hosting a brunch, going on a picnic, hosting a Chinese dinner or celebrating Diwali, Adam's got you covered.

An internal SBS production, The Cook Up will be available to stream on SBS On Demand with subtitling available in both Arabic and Simplified Chinese afterwards.

The Cook Up with Adam Liaw will premiere weekdays on SBS On Demand from Monday July 3 and at 7pm weeknights on SBS Food. All episodes from previous series of The Cook Up are available to stream on SBS On Demand.
