Grab Your Aprons, Malta! ‘Come Dine With Me’ is Back for Season Three

Imagine this: the aroma of fresh basil wafting through the air, the clinking of glasses filled with local wine, and the hum of lively conversation echoing through the narrow streets of Mdina. This isn’t a scene from a Mediterranean dream, but a reality that could be yours if you’re one of the lucky contestants selected for the third season of ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’.

What’s on the Menu?

For those unfamiliar with the concept, ‘Come Dine With Me’ is a popular TV show where five strangers take turns hosting dinner parties for each other. At the end of the week, the contestant with the highest score wins a cash prize. The Maltese version, produced by local powerhouse PBS, has been a hit with viewers since its debut in 2019.

This year, the show is promising even more culinary delights, cultural insights, and hilarious moments. Contestants can expect to cook for a diverse panel of judges, including local food critics, chefs, and even fellow contestants. The catch? They’ll be judged not just on their cooking, but also their hosting skills, table setting, and overall dining experience.

How to Apply: A Step-by-Step Guide

Besides the chance to showcase your culinary skills and win a cash prize, being a contestant on ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’ comes with a host of other perks. You’ll get to meet new people, explore different parts of the island, and even pick up some tips from the show’s professional judges.

But perhaps the most rewarding aspect is the opportunity to share your love for Maltese food and culture with a wider audience. As one of last season’s contestants, Maria, told us, “It was an incredible experience. I got to show off my traditional Maltese recipes and even taught some of the other contestants a thing or two!”
