Celebrity MasterChef South Africa is a South African competitive cooking reality show spin-off from MasterChef South Africa, in which celebrities who have no experience in the food industry attempt to turn into a MasterChef and win money for their charity.
The contestants are the ones feeling the pressure and breaking a sweat, and this time round the names and faces that greet us are more than a little familiar.
Celebrity MasterChef South Africa brings with it some big names from the entertainment industry.
As glamorous and exciting as the culinary world may appear, it is exemplified by gritty demands and high-pressure challenges.
The reason people pursue this obstacle-strewn path is their passion for food and creativity, and without it you will not survive.
The contestants have thus always been people who are driven and committed to making their dream work, but because the celebrity season comes with a batch of contestants who are pursuing dreams of other sorts, their mission it to make the lives of others a little brighter.
Instead of playing for themselves, each celebrity has picked a charity to represent and winning challenges consists of collecting cash prizes for their respective organisations, raising funds and awareness for a variety of noble causes.
The series was produced by Quizzical Pictures in Season 1 and by Homebrew Films for Primedia Studios in Season 2.
