Malta’s Kitchen Table Ready for More Stars

Imagine this: the aroma of freshly cooked food wafting through the air, the clink of glasses, and the hum of lively conversation. This isn’t a scene from a fancy restaurant, but a typical evening on ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’. The popular TV show is back, and applications are now open for its third season.

‘Come Dine With Me Malta’ is a culinary competition where five strangers, each with a passion for cooking, host a dinner party for the others. At the end of the week, the host with the highest score wins a cash prize. But it’s not just about the money; it’s about showcasing Malta’s diverse culinary scene and the stories behind our dishes.

Previous seasons have seen contestants serving up everything from traditional Maltese ‘timpana’ to innovative fusion cuisine. Last year’s winner, Chef Marc John, wowed judges with his modern take on local favourites, proving that Maltese food is more than just comfort food.

If you think you’ve got what it takes to impress the judges and your fellow contestants, now’s your chance to apply. The show is looking for passionate home cooks who can tell a story through their food. You don’t need to be a professional chef, just someone who loves to cook and can handle the heat of a little competition.

Applications are open to anyone over the age of 18 and living in Malta. To apply, fill out the form on the TVM website and submit a short video introducing yourself and your cooking style. The deadline for applications is March 31st, so get cooking!

While details about this season’s format are still under wraps, there are whispers of a few exciting changes. Rumour has it that contestants might be challenged to incorporate local, seasonal ingredients into their menus, or even face surprise ingredients dropped off by the ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’ van at the last minute.

Whatever twists and turns this season brings, one thing’s for sure: ‘Come Dine With Me Malta’ is more than just a cooking competition. It’s a celebration of our island’s food culture, a chance to meet new people, and an opportunity to showcase your culinary skills to the nation.

So, are you ready to take your seat at Malta’s kitchen table? The applications are open, the ingredients are waiting, and the judges are hungry. Who knows, you might just find yourself serving up a dish that will leave them begging for seconds.
