EPISODE 11: THE FAMILY FAVOURITES CHALLENGE

With only five contestants left in the competition, the heat is on for Quinley, Afton, Suzanne, Tineke and Jahzara. For this Taste Master Junior challenge, they must prepare a family feast with the help of a sous chef – who also happens to be their parent. It’s a big challenge, and the reward is even bigger. This episode will bring family meals to life, and showcase how food brings families together!

Who will be safe and whose Taste Master Junior journey will be over! Make sure not to miss this very special episode, Tuesday 8 October with repeats Wednesdays at 1pm and Sundays at 4pm. 

I am very excited with a sense of scepticism. How good can these kids really be? I suppose with the free access to world class baking and cooking they should be well informed and exposed. In my heart, I truly believe this is going to be a very pleasant surprise and heaps of fun

For season 5 I will be looking for excellence in execution of techniques and authenticity.
