Forks at the ready! ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’ returns for Season 3

Imagine this: the sun is setting over the historic streets of Mdina, the air filled with the tantalising aroma of garlic and fresh seafood. You’re not a tourist, but a contestant on the island’s most mouth-watering reality show, ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’. This isn’t a dream, it’s the reality for 12 lucky locals as the hit TV show returns for its third season.

What’s on the menu?

The premise is simple yet delicious. Six contestants, each with a unique culinary flair, will host a dinner party for the others. The catch? They’re competing for a €1,000 cash prize and the coveted title of ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’ champion. But it’s not just about the food. Contestants will be judged on their hosting skills, ambiance, and of course, their culinary prowess.

Last season, we saw everything from traditional Maltese dishes like ‘Timpana’ and ‘Ross il-Forn’ to innovative fusion cuisine. Who knows what culinary delights await us this time around? Maybe we’ll see a contestant attempting to recreate the famous ‘Pastizzi’ from ‘Il-Bajtar’ in Mosta, or perhaps they’ll take us on a gastronomic journey to the charming village of Dingli, known for its fresh produce.
