On today’s episode of TV Reload I am joined by Rhiann Mead who was the first eliminated contestants from Dessert Masters Australia on Network Ten.
Rhiann is the Head Pastry Chef at The Charles Grand Brasserie & Bar. After working so closely with Peter Gilmore at both Quay and Bennelong her resume was impressive enough to get the call to take part in the very first series of Dessert Masters.
The spin of cooking show from MasterChef Australia was announced at Network 10's UP-FRONTS in October 2022 and a second series has also been commissioned for 2024, with hosts Melissa Leong and Amour Guichon returning to the kitchen. The series already feels like a staple on our screens and you would really have to wonder who they will get next year.
While Rhiannon made the judges applaud her Plum Blossom & Scrabble Solitaire in the first two episodes of the series it was the Piggy Bank that didn’t crack that sent her home.    

I will find out how Rhiann was selected and what kind of insights you get into preparing for the shows elaborate desserts.
Rhiann will share her thoughts on the judges popularity and how Melissa and Amoury have influenced her cooking. 
We will go behind that last cook with Rhiann’s piggy bank and what she really thought of Kristen Tiballs cooking up the same idea.

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘Dessert Masters Which is back on Sunday night at 7:30 and you can catch up on Ten Play if you have fallen behind. On the first week of amazing cooks. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
