Entries have opened for the 5th season of MasterChef South Africa looking for people who love to live in front of the stove as the cooking competition show switches from M-Net to SABC3.
South Africans older than 18 have until 15 March to enter on the www.masterchefsa.tv website for a chance to compete in the customised kitchen hall in Cape Town for the upcoming season which is once again produced by Homebrew Films but this time for a free-to-air audience through Primedia Studios."
The winner will bag R1 million in the new season which will be on SABC3 later this year but professional home cooks who want to become contestants must never have earned a living as a professional chef.
After 15 March the producers will whittle down the contestants to the 20 best entries who will have to bake, fry, frost and roast again each other using what's in the MasterChef SA pantry, to dish up amazing culinary creations for the judges who are yet to be announced.
