More Come Dine with Me for Australia

SYDNEY: XYZ Networks’ The Lifestyle Channel has commissioned a second season of Come Dine with Me Australia, with local production to be handled again by Granada Media Australia. 

The show watches as amateur chefs compete against each other in hosting a dinner party for the other contestants. Television and radio presenter James Valentine, who narrates the series, is on board for the second season. The casting for the new 20×30-minute season is currently under way.

"Come Dine With Me Australia is not only exciting for foodies, it’s exciting for all Australians," said Nicole Sheffield, the general manager of The LifeStyle Channel. "It is a format that gives people recipes and takes them into everyday Aussie homes. Granada has produced a fantastic first series and we are very confident that it will be a huge success with our viewers."
