Auditions for the exciting new reality show are now open and will remain so until midnight on 22 October 2019, with the channel inviting foodies to show them what they’re made of. However, being a taste master is more than simply following a recipe and creating a delicious dish. Your ingredients need to take into consideration the different people, places, styles and atmospheres you’d encounter as you create the ultimate experience to elevate your dish – because every occasion needs a meal tailored to it.

The search for Afternoon Express’ next resident chef will take place on The Taste Master, an exciting new reality show that will start on SABC 3 in November. The finalists will go head to head in a series of challenges that will test both their social and culinary skills. Each week, contestants are given the chop until the ultimate taste master remains. The finalists will be lucky enough to experience a true Christmas market in Belgium, which will be their inspiration for the final challenge.
