Thank You!
Things are all in a bit of a spin at the moment as Callum and I are being shunted from pillar to post for a bunch of media interviews following Sunday’s result, but I wanted to get back onto this blog to say a genuine and heartfelt thanks to all of the people who have supported me, the other contestants and the show for the last few months.
In the limited time we had access to the real world outside the Masterchef kitchen, the support from everyone surrounding the show and also on facebook, forums, twitter and this blog was absolutely wonderful. Whenever the producers would tell us how many people were watching the show, we would be so proud – not because of the fame, but because we felt that if people at home were appreciating our food every night then maybe the stress, tears and long hours were all worthwhile.
It has been an amazing experience and a pleasure cooking on everyone’s TVs night after night, and I really look forward to continuing to do so, whether it be in cookbooks, on TV screen or hopefully even in my own restaurant.
If you do want to stay in touch with me and what I’m doing (and trust me, not even I know what that’s going to be over the next few months), the easiest way is probably to subscribe to this blog (adamliaw.com) via this link. Alternatively you can follow me on twitter (@adamliaw) or even just drop in at my fan site on facebook.
It’s going to be a crazy ride from here on, but I’m glad you’re all with me!
With absolute gratitude,
Adam
Onya Adam! It was fascinating to read your tweets from nearly a year ago where you debate whether to audition for #masterchef. He who dares wins!
Congrats Adam. I’m so happy for you. We watched every night in our house and my 6yr old is excited to learn to cook. You and the entire team should be so proud for the wonderful work you have done, encouraging us plebe to get back in the kitchen. Good luck with everything.
Congratulations Adam. You’re really a worthy Masterchef winner. No doubt Callum also has it made, so it was a win-win really.
Congrats!! All the best for the future!
Weeknights just got that bit more boring without MC.
Hey congrats on winning Masterchef, Adam! Your food looks wonderful and delicious and you had my vote to win for sure. Looking forward to eating at your restaurant and picking up your cook book in the future. All the best and definitely keep us fans updated on your progress!

congrats adam! cant wait for your book to come out! a well deserved win!!
Really glad you’re going to keep this blog going – and very much looking forward to your recipe book. Good luck with everything.
Congratulations and Well Done! Can’t wait to see you at Flower Drum!
Reading your blog makes it no small wonder that you won, and really demonstrates how “intellectually” you approach food. I’m really looking forward to reading your writing, both online and in the new book!
Congratulations. Was rooting for you! You did extremely well! 😉
Well done, Adam. Very happy for you – what a wonderful achievement! I am really looking forward to seeing that first cookbook, followed by a second one, and then a th…. Congratulations!
Congratulations!!!! Well deserved to win….keep up the good work…it’s going to be a long and tiring journey from now on…Take care and have fun^^
Hey Adam!
Congrats 😀 I was so so so happy that you won and to see your grandma on the show brought tears from my eyes. I can’t wait to see what you do next 🙂
Congratulations Adam! I watched and cheered for you right from the beggining of this season. You deserve to win.
Congratulations Adam!!! A well earned win! 🙂 Please keep us all in the loop of your amazing adventure ahead. Masterchef got lawyered in 2010! hehehe
Congratulations on a well deserved win! The fact that you are intellectually creative with food was visible on the show but only after reading some of your blog posts is that intellectual depth really apparent! It doesn’t surprise that you are also clever enough to engage in active marketing while it’s still fresh by keeping an online presence – fair enough, the fans want it and I for one am looking forward to reading more (love the nerdy food chemistry stuff!). Yay, longevity in your own hands; don’t leave it to the networks….
No thank YOU.
: )
Congratulations Adam! You really shone through with your cooking, ideas and creativity. They all sound delicious and, like Matt said, it’s all incredibly smart and technically thought out. Best of luck with your future food ventures and I’m looking forward to eating in your restaurant. You’ve also inspired me to want to go explore Japan and its food.
P.S. I would mind trying out that 3-course pizza. Seriously.
I *wouldn’t* mind trying out that pizza! 🙂
Congratulations Adam on your success with Master Chef. I do hope after your time in Melbourne you settle back in Adelaide and setup shop here.
Adamu san Omedetou
All my Japanese friends here in Australia are very happy you won Master Chef 2010.
We watched every show and my 7 year old girl and husband cooked every weekend.( I was a judge!)
I can not wait to buy your cookbook. Tanoshimi ni shiteimasu!

Congratulations, Adam! You should consider running for PM; I know a lot of Australians would rather you than Julia or Tony.
CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve it 🙂 You’re so inspiring!
PS. after seeing a lone tweet (“masterchef”) we developed a conspiracy theory that you had already won 😉 too bad I’m not a betting girl!
You know what I like about you, Adam? Apart from having wonderful cooking skills, an impeccable temperament, a genuine humility and great sense of humour, you also demonstrate something lacking in the youth of today … good grammar and writing skills! Honestly, kids of today can’t even string a decent sentence together. I love reading your blogs and essays. Keep it up.
Congratulations Adam!I started watching Masterchef from week 7 and I knew that you would win. You always cook with your heart and mind. Wish the best for you. I can’t wait for your cook book 🙂
hi adam,
i started following you from day one because you really resemble my brother, and then i totally fell in love with your cooking!
I adore your lovely affinity with pork! and i’m totally there with you!
Congratulations!
Hi Adam,

Congrats, Adam! I am so happy you won and was rooting for you 🙂 You are such a creative cook and your dishes look fantastic. Can’t wait to see what you’ll be up to next.
こんにちはアダムーさん!
You are a true inspiration and watching you makes me want to get a move on with my life. I’ve been in Melbourne for 7 years and have been dilly dallying to do a leap of faith to move on to Japan. Your presence and your stories are what I ‘use’ to remind myself to make that courage to leave my much loved job.. Looking forward to seeing your cookbook, and all the best from now on.
i actually haven’t watched the final yet but watching a bit online now. i always hoped you’d win because you seemed the nicest person on the show. 🙂
Hey Adam glad that you won masterchef, enjoyed watching you on masterchef,,,looking forward for your cook book. all the best
Adam, u were a legend to try out for MC.. Now ur an ultimate legend
Inspiring. And lovely to watch! All the best Adam 🙂

Congratulations Adam for winning Masterchef. Here in Portugal we saw the end of Masterchef this week and we are missing it already. I really loved the union between all competitors and realize that I really love Australia and the spirit of your country. My husband and I followed the competition and he was hoping to gain a lawyer :-). I invite you to come to Portugal to try our delicacies, I am sure you will like and collect numerous ideas. Big kiss and good luck for the future ahead
Hi Adam
Thank you for your great recipes and cooking shows.
I and my family have enjoyed them thoroughly and will continue to do so.
My preference in place of Kafir lime or Makrut is Limau Purut (name in Malay and Indonesian as there are more people familiar with name based on the population of these countries instead of Thailand.
Cheers.
Bob
Hi Adam
I am a great fan of yours since you won Master Chef.
I am in Macclesfield SA with my parents due to COVID being at my nursing home as I am wheelchair bound. I watch you on SBSFood all the time.
I will be living in Penny Lane Adelaide and would really like to meet you sometime if you ever come to Adelaide.
I LOVE your show and think you are a great bloke
Take care
