“Ready Steady Cook South Africa” is back for its third season, bringing with it the aroma of competition and the taste of victory. Hosted by the vibrant and charismatic media personality Moshe Ndiki, the show promises a daily dose of culinary excitement from Monday to Friday at 19:00 on SABC 3. This season introduces viewers to a heated cook-off between two teams, the Red Tomato and Green Pepper, each led by top Mzansi chefs in the Red Kitchen and Green Kitchen.
Contestants, armed with a mystery bag of everyday ingredients delivered by Mr. D, will face off in a boiling hot 20-minute battle to create dishes that tantalize the taste buds and impress the judges. This unique format, a beloved concept from the long-running BBC show and now represented worldwide by media giant Banijay, blends suspense, star power, and non-stop fun into one compelling package.
The collaboration between Primedia Studios and Rose and Oaks Media, the powerhouse duo behind “The Masked Singer South Africa,” ensures that “Ready Steady Cook South Africa” will be a blend of everything that makes for good television. According to Anele Mdoda, co-owner of Rose and Oaks Media, the show is a delicious mix of drama, entertainment, and the universal dilemma of deciding “What’s for dinner tonight?”
This season features a twist: the home cooks are somehow related, adding a personal touch to the culinary showdown. As they cook, the audience will learn more about their lives, fostering a connection that goes beyond the kitchen.
The chef lineup includes culinary stars such as Wandile Mabaso, Neo Nontso, and Lorna Maseko, promising a season filled with expertly crafted dishes and innovative cooking techniques. As “Ready Steady Cook South Africa” returns to the airwaves, it’s set to redefine dinner time television, proving once again that food is a language of its own, capable of bringing people together in the most delightful ways.
