Knorr Taste Quest is a Unilever Nigeria-sponsored TV cooking show that started airing in 2013. On the show, a panel of expert judges gives various tasks to the contestants to test their culinary prowess and creativity. [1]

Contents

Two well-known Nigerian celebrity chefs, Dr Robert and Chef Fregz, have been the judges from the start of the show to Season 4. In the competition, the judges select the best 12 contestants to compete for 13 weeks, with one of them emerging as the winner.

Format

At the start of each season, there is a ‘call to entry’ into the competition and afterwards an audition process where qualified candidates are selected to enter into the final competition which can involve delivering different tasks as allocated by the judges. The grand finale usually involves the top three contestants battling it out for the chance to emerge as the winner.
