Set entirely inside Queenstown’s world-class Remarkables Studios, Taste of Art is a bold new culinary reality competition where ten of Aotearoa’s most talented chefs go head-to-head in a high-stakes battle of creativity and skill. Over seven gripping episodes, the chefs are challenged to push the boundaries of food as art, crafting unexpected, visually stunning, and deeply personal dishes under pressure.

Judged by globally renowned Amisfield head chef Vaughan Mabee and celebrated food writer and MasterChef Australia judge Melissa Leong, the series blends fierce competition with elevated storytelling. Each episode invites viewers into a world where imagination meets precision, and artistry is measured not just in flavour, but in form, risk, and reinvention.

Created by Screentime New Zealand and distributed by Banijay Rights, Taste of Art showcases cutting-edge production design and celebrates the prestige of being seen — and judged — on an international stage. Airing on TVNZ in 2025, it’s a culinary experience like no other.
