It’s the final episode of season 1! To bring things home with a bang, Adam chats with comedian, dog lover and self-confessed food nerd Ivan Aristeguieta.

This episode truly has it all. Laughs, stories of Ivan’s childhood in Venezuela, his love of food, as well as an exploration of Venezuelan dishes Adam has never heard of.

Ivan also shares his thoughts on a how all food, regardless of it pedigree, has a place. It all depends on the context.

And there are of course three delicious bakes to salivate over:

Pound cake with Dulce de Leche
Passionfruit mousse
Floating island

Be sure to follow Ivan on Instagram - @ivancomedy - and check out his comedy special on Paramount+.

And this week’s recipe is so special – a Bienmesabe Cake. As soon as Ivan mentioned this cake, I knew I had to find out more and try to make one. It’s a cloud-light sponge soaked in a coconut rum syrup, filled with a coconut custard and covered in torched Italian meringue. You can find the recipe at whatsadambaking.com/recipes.
