Join Adam as he invites some of the biggest names in sport, entertainment and food into the kitchen. Each night, guests share their favourite personal recipes, knowledge, and tips and tricks of the trade.
This season, incredible entertainers like Guy Sebastian, Kitty Flanagan, Dave Hughes, Alex Ward, Emma Watkins, Becky Lucas, and Sarah McLeod, greats in the culinary world including Marion Grasby, Duncan Welgemoed, Adriano Zumbo, Luke Bourke, and Pingping Poh, and inspirational sporting heroes like Ariarne Titmus, Vanessa Low, Tina Rahimi, and Jelena Dokic fire up the hot plates and get a plate ready at the esteemed bench.
But that's not all.
From Monday 2 June, join Adam and some very special guests and friends of SBS, as The Cook Up celebrates 50 years of SBS being a place where everyone can see themselves and feel they belong. To make the big five-o' a week to remember, renowned chefs Guillaume Brahimi, Maeve O'Meara, Mark Olive and Shane Delia, presenter and journalist Karla Grant, presenter and mathematician Lily Serna and Socceroos legend John Aloisi get to work at the bench for the perfect blend of food, chat and laughs.
Then, Adam once again commemorates Refugee Week from Monday 16 June by featuring some fabulous guests who share their personal stories and experiences. Adam is joined by inspirational guests Hedayat Osyan, George Najarian, Vanja Bulut, Anna-Mariia Mykytiuk and Jillian Nguy n.

Presenter, Adam Liaw, says This season of The Cook Up might just be the most fun I've ever had in the kitchen. We have an amazing suite of guests bringing us food that is more practical, more delicious and more exciting than we've ever seen. They say you are what you eat, but I think you can tell even more about a person by what they choose to cook!
Emily Griggs, SBS Head of Food, says The Cook Up is a culinary hug from start to finish. With over 250 new recipes and fantastic new themes including living on the veg, garlic crush, and sustainable feasts, this season is sure to inspire some new home recipe favourites while learning more about the incredible star-studded line up of guests. The Cook Up caters to everyone's tastes.
An internal SBS production, The Cook Up will be available to stream on SBS On Demand with subtitling available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Arabic, Vietnamese and Korean afterwards.
