Malta’s Kitchen Table is Set for Another Feast: ‘Come Dine With Me’ Returns

Imagine this: the sun is setting over the Mediterranean, casting a warm glow on the quaint streets of Mdina. The air is filled with the tantalising aroma of garlic and herbs wafting from a nearby kitchen. This is the scene that has played out time and time again on our screens, courtesy of the popular TV show, ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’. And guess what? The producers have just rolled out the red carpet for a third season!

What’s on the Menu?

If you’ve been living under a rock (or perhaps just not tuned into TVM for the past two years), here’s the lowdown. ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’ is the local adaptation of the hit British show, where five amateur chefs go head-to-head in a culinary competition. Each contestant hosts a dinner party for the others, with the group rating each meal and the host’s hospitality. The contestant with the highest score at the end of the week walks away with €1,500 and the coveted title of ‘Malta’s Best Home Cook’.

But it’s not just about the prize money. The show has become a beloved part of Malta’s cultural scene, showcasing our unique blend of Mediterranean and British culinary influences. It’s also given us some unforgettable moments – who could forget the ‘chicken surprise’ incident in season one, or the ‘pasta gate’ drama in season two?
