Adriano Zumbo - DESSERT MASTERS - Chef

On today’s episode of TV Reload I am joined by Adriano Zumbo who was is the 3rd eliminated contestants from Dessert Masters Australia on Network Ten. Adriano is an Australian dessert king come television presenter. He opened his first patisserie in 2007 before rising to prominence as a frequent guest on Masterchef Australia. Many have described him as Australia’s own Willy Wonka and to be honest I whole hearty agree and will suggest probably  suggest opening his own chocolate factory in this chat. This year Network Ten have treated audiences to this new series Dessert Masters which is a spin-off cooking show from MasterChef Australia with hosts Melissa Leong and Amoury Guechn Endemol Shine has recruited the best dessert chefs in the country to compete for the bragging rights. While the idea to take on the Grease theme looked perfect for Zumbo - the wheels did come off for Adriano a few time while that Milkshake.. which by the looks better than anything I have ever made… yet sadly it was the reason we saw him packing. I will find out if the producers approached him just to compete or if they asked him to hosts the new series Adriano will share what exactly went through his mind as he was shockingly eliminated 3rd and if he regrets signing onto the series?  I will also find out if he is looking forward to seeing the new Willy Wokka film about to be released in December and if he grew up reading that book by Rohal Dahl.  Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘Dessert Masters’ Which is back on Sunday night at 7:30 and you can catch up on Ten Play if you have fallen behind. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
