Season 5 of The Cook Up with Adam Liaw started on July 3, 2023 on SBS Food and SBS On Demand.
Update July 10, 2023: There are confusions as to the starting episode of Season 5… Officially Season 5 started on July 3 with the episode guide on the SBS website listed as such, but the episodes shown on TV and on SBS streaming platform, SBS On Demand, have Season 5 listed as starting from June 19 (which were supposed to be the final week of Season 4 according to the SBS website)! So I have adjusted the episode number to coincide with the episodes as listed on the streaming platform. The cancelled episode numbers are the episode numbers as listed on the SBS website.

Corner Café 
Hiya, love your work … just wanted to mention that SBS’ episode numbering for season 5 begins with “Cultured Creams” that you has as s4e86.
Cheers – appreciate your efforts.

Comment by Tom — July 10, 2023 @ 8:42 pm |
Thanks! Yes, there are some confusion as to the numbering of episodes for the end of Season 4 and beginning of Season 5. What I am following at the moment is the episode guide on SBS official website which seems to be different from the actual video episodes by 5 episodes! I may have to re-adjust the episode numbers to follow the numbering on streaming episodes.

Been following your Liaw posts since episode 2. Thanks SeaDragon for all your work on consolidating the episodes and recipes. Much appreciated.
