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

Imagine this: the aroma of garlic and fresh herbs wafting through the air, the clatter of pots and pans in the kitchen, and the hum of conversation as friends and family gather around your dining table. This isn’t just a scene from your next dinner party; it’s the reality for six lucky Maltese home cooks this autumn, as applications open for the third season of ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’.

What’s on the Menu?

‘Come Dine With Me’ is a popular TV show that pits amateur chefs against each other in a culinary competition. Over the course of a week, each contestant hosts a dinner party for the others, with the guests rating the food, ambiance, and host’s personality. The contestant with the highest score at the end of the week wins a cash prize and the title of ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’ champion.

This year, the show is looking for contestants who can cook up a storm in their own unique style. Whether you’re a master of Maltese cuisine, a whiz with international dishes, or have a secret recipe that’s guaranteed to impress, the ‘Come Dine With Me’ team wants to hear from you.

How to Apply

Applications are now open and will close on September 15th. To apply, you’ll need to fill out an online form and submit a short video introducing yourself and your cooking style. The form can be found on the show’s official website, ComeDineWithMeMalta.com.

Remember, the show is looking for contestants who are passionate about cooking and can handle the pressure of hosting a dinner party for four critical guests. You’ll need to be available for filming from October 1st to 7th, so make sure to clear your calendar before you apply.

What’s New This Season?

While the basic format of the show remains the same, there are a few new twists in store for season three. This year, contestants will be challenged to incorporate local Maltese ingredients into at least one of their dishes. Think fresh produce from Marsaxlokk’s market, local honey from the honeycomb shops in Żebbuġ, or even a splash of local wine from one of Malta’s many vineyards.

Additionally, the show will be partnering with local charities to raise awareness and funds for important causes. Contestants will have the opportunity to donate a portion of their prize money to a charity of their choice, with the show matching their donation.

In a press release, the show’s producers stated, “We’re thrilled to be back for a third season of ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’. We’ve seen some incredible talent and delicious food over the past two seasons, and we can’t wait to see what this year’s contestants have in store. We’re also excited to give back to the community by partnering with local charities and raising awareness for important causes.”

So, if you think you’ve got what it takes to be the next ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’ champion, don’t wait – grab your apron and start practicing your recipes. Who knows, you might just find yourself serving up a storm in your very own Maltese kitchen.
