Australia‘s favourite food blogger, Not Quite Nigella, aka Lorraine Elliott, spends a day with patissier Adriano Zumbo to learn the secrets of his sweet success.

The first time I came into contact with Adriano Zumbo’s creations was in November 2007. I remember being so excited when I saw them in the store that we drove them home nursing them gingerly like newborns. We took them to my parents’ house eager to try them and I then rushed home to write about them. It seems like eons ago and now Zumbo is a household name and not just with the food-obsessed in Australia. So four years later, what is life like for Australia’s most recognised patissier and torturer of MasterChef contestants? Is it all cakes, macarons, models in bikinis, sports cars and relaxing? The answer to that is yes, yes, sometimes, yes and no.
