The details are:

Cape Town - Mac Suppliers - 32 Benbow Avenue, Goodwood;
Johannesburg - MLK School of Cooking - 44 Rietfontein Road, Glenmarais, Kempton Park.
Judges David Higgs and J’Something are back and there advice is to keep it simple but flavourful with your audition dish.
“I think what we learnt from Season 1 of My Kitchen Rules SA is that simplicity is key,” says award-winning Chef and MKRSA judge David Higgs.
“To make a good impression at the auditions, keep things simple and cook something that is close to your heart. Something that has a story,” he advises.
Passionate home cook and judge J’Something agrees: “Stick to the brief and you can’t go wrong,” he adds. “Make a cold dish that will blow us away.”
You and your fellow foodie partner will have to prepare a cold dish for our panel of judges that you bring with to your audition in a cooler box with ice to ensure that the dish stays fresh. You can prepare anything you like, but your dish should show some flair, innovation and – most of all – your personal style! You will also have to provide the necessary crockery and equipment for plating your dish when you get there.
