Episode 1
In episode one, Elise discovers an array of traditional, and not-so-traditional Asian-inspired desserts. To start off with, Indonesian sisters Tasia and Gracia Seger introduce Elise to the traditional Indonesian street food pisang bakar - made with banana, cheese and chocolate! Following that they whip up with their modern twist on the dessert, a banana and cheese brûlée. Next up, Yasoda Welsh, a Kiwi-born Hare Krishna, teaches Elise the art of making mandala cheesecakes, with some seriously stunning results. After that, Phi Nguyen, a Japanese dessert chef born in Vietnam, creates a delicate Japanese shaved ice dish called kakigori using a fascinating signature ingredient - aged Japanese plum wine. Siew Heng Boon then brings the episode to a close, teaching Elise the secrets of her stunning Malaysian 3D jelly art.
Episode 2
Episode two introduces Elise to a variety of sweet delights from around Europe and the Mediterranean. The episode starts with the very French Vincent Gadan, who creates three types of spherical chocolate desserts - a beautiful pearl of love treasure box, a raspberry and mousse filled ‘sexy sphere' and a pile of lolly-filled disco balls - which he and Elise have great fun smashing. Italian chef Paolo Gatto then brings some traditional Sicilian cuisine to the kitchen, with his giant brioche stuffed with homemade gelato. Elise is then joined by old friend and fellow YouTuber, Nick Makrides, who draws on his Greek heritage to create some delicious cupcakes topped with loukoumades (Greek donuts). The episode is brought to a close in style with guest Joey El-Issa of the Sydney-based Bearded Bakers. Together, Joey and Elise make some of the Bearded Bakers' famous knafeh, with Elise desperately trying to figure out the recipe's top-secret ingredient!
