John went back to his roots with a culinary road trip across Australia for his series John Torode’s Australia, which premiered in March 2014 and was the top performing show of the year on the Good Food channel. The series also aired on Watch from November 2014.
Following on from this success, John returned to the Good Food channel in January 2016 with his Malaysian Adventure; a 10-part series exploring the vibrant and varied cuisine of Malaysia. 2017 saw John deliver two brand new ten-part series for Good Food; the first tapping into the growing popularity of Korean food in John Torode’s Korean Food Tour (July 2017), followed by John Torode’s Asia (October 2017), which achieved the highest viewing figures for the channel since March 2013.
