The Taste season 15 competition

Overview

The 15th season of the cooking competition ‘The Taste’ premiered on SAT. 1 and Joyn, introducing a new format. The season began with a cook-off between the four coaches, Steffen Henssler, Tim Raue, Elif Oskan, and Alexander Herrmann, judged by Nelson Müller. Steffen Henssler won the duel, earning a ‘golden buzzer’ that allows him to claim a contestant directly if multiple coaches show interest.

As the competition progressed, significant rule changes were implemented, including the elimination of the ‘decision cooking’ phase that previously allowed candidates with a red star to compete for advancement. Recent episodes have featured themed challenges, such as a Swedish-inspired ingredient challenge led by guest judge Zora Klipp. Contestants are competing for a 50,000 euro prize and a title cover in Magazinprisma.
