Following the success of MasterChef SA Season 3 at the end of 2014 (including the #KitchenQuip tweet contest where we gave away an amazing Nederburg hamper every week), M-Net filmed another version of the show with a twist. Instead of featuring chef candidates in obscure jobs (like our most popular train driver's assistant Roxy), they chose a motley group of familiar faces from the South African entertainment world.
South Africa's celebrity master chef!
