Before appearing on Netflix Crazy Delicious, Adam Purnell was a lad from Shropshire with a love for cooking and fishing.

Adam is a self-taught cook and got his enthusiasm for cooking from his father.

His passion clearly shone through during his time on Crazy Delicious as winner of the first episode of the series.

In fact, looking at Adam Purnell’s Instagram, he might just be King of the BBQ – perhaps the reason he is crowned winner of Crazy Delicious episode 1!

Let’s take a look at Adam’s journey on the Netflix cooking show.

Adam Purnell – his Crazy Delicious journey

Despite his win on Crazy Delicious, Adam Purnell had never set foot in a professional kitchen before he appeared on the show. Looking at his dishes now – it seems hard to believe!

So, what is Crazy Delicious about?

Crazy Delicious is a cooking show that featured on Netflix last month. The show is filmed in an enchanted forest with a mystical element to it. Why mystical? Everything on the fantasy set is edible! The three contestants compete against each other in three rounds and the aim is to impress the “Food Gods” who take form of Heston Blumenthal, Carla Hall and Niklas Ekstedt.

Clearly Adam Purnell had no trouble impressing the Food Gods on the Willy Wonka themed show. The Crazy Delicious judges were blown away by his strawberry cheesecake buffalo chicken wings and pink-pickled fries.

Throughout the episode, Adam came through with an incredible Crazy Delicious menu, including chilli dog eclairs, deep-fried peanut butter ice-cream and even a lobster mac ‘n’ cheesecake.

Adam Purnell has become a star in the foodie world this year. With a following of thirteen thousand on Instagram, food-lovers can’t get enough of his grill-based dishes.
