Das perfekte Dinner cooking competition broadcasts
Overview
The German cooking competition ‘Das perfekte Dinner’ continues to feature amateur chefs across various German regions. Following the Berlin finale, the competition moved to the Franconian Lake District (Fränkisches Seenland) from September 28 to October 2, where hosts included Mario, Martina, Ela, Julian, and Lydia.
In late August 2026, the series featured Stefan, a graphic designer in the Palatinate, who served ‘Soulfood aus Pfälzer Zutaten’ featuring asparagus, trout, and handmade tagliatelle. This was followed by a week in the Ruhrgebiet from August 31 to September 4, starting with Gabriel’s French-inspired ‘Pott küsst Frankreich’ menu, alongside hosts Franzi, Katrin, and Tim.
The competition then transitioned to Freiburg for the week of October 5 to October 9. The week opened with Elise, a 34-year-old special education teacher, hosting a French-themed evening titled ‘À table!’. Her menu featured Gutedel soup with flambéed shrimp and Bœuf Bourguignon. Regarding her dessert, Elise noted that authentic French mousse au chocolat consists only of dark chocolate and eggs, without the sugar or cream often found in other versions. The remaining hosts for the Freiburg week include Harry, Jonathan, Olivia, and David.
Most recently, the program commenced a new season in Ostfriesland. The first host, Andreas, a 50-year-old electrical engineer, prepared a three-course meal under the theme ‘Here there is food, tea and a bit of chaos – so quite normal.’ His menu included Moormerland shrimp soup and grilled salmon. His guests expressed surprise at his identity, as they had expected a female host based on the menu's theme.
