Pastry chef Adriano Zumbo totally nailed his role as the star of this hit Netflix series Zumbo’s Just Desserts, which pits brilliant home cooks against one another for a chance to win $100,000.

A pastry chef and cook from Australia, Adriano Zumbo honed his skills in Italy, France, and Australia before his career took off in 2010. Upon seeing the mogul’s Netflix show, it is simple to understand why he has amassed over 300,000 followers on Instagram.

3. Chef’s Table: BBQ

 

Chef’s Table: BBQ is a spin-off of the hit TV documentary Chef’s Table. This series focuses on the distinctive characteristics of barbecue, the tie between foods and their culture of origin, and the unique culinary skills that are frequently passed down through generations.

Each episode delves into the personal background of a chef and relates it to the dishes they serve. Unsettling for some and mouth-watering for many, this series often shows chefs cooking pork, sometimes the entire pig.

 

4. Nadiya’s Time to Eat

 

If you are seeking that hit of food-induced serotonin from a TV series, Nadiya’s Time to Eat may be a practical food show choice to fill this void.

The 2015 Great British Bake Off champion Nadiya Hussain serves as the show’s namesake host. Time to Eat’s primary focus is on quick, weeknight-friendly meals, frequently made possible by using several “cheats” and shortcuts.

Nadiya makes incredible ingredient combinations while demonstrating all the culinary and baking secrets. Her creative and effective use of the oven, which she employs to speed up often laborious and time-consuming cooking activities, stands out in particular.

 

5. The Final Table

 

In this celebrity-studded competition, teams of top chefs prepare traditional dishes from nine different countries in an effort to win over the world’s pickiest diners.

In a series of country-themed challenges, The Final Table pits 24 renowned chefs from around the globe into teams of two. Only one of them will be invited to sit down at the titular Final Table with the nine professional chefs/judges at the show’s finale.

Seeing how these gifted chefs collaborate and draw from their diverse culinary experiences to produce new dishes during the hour-long competition is a large part of what makes the match entertaining to watch.
