MasterChef – Season 1
Produced by Videostroj in collaboration with TV Prva, the long-anticipated and most-watched culinary competition show finally arrived in Serbia – MasterChef. Created by Franc Roddam, the globally acclaimed format is produced in over 40 countries and broadcast across more than 200 territories.
MasterChef is a cooking competition where amateur chefs face a series of individual, team, creative, elimination, and surprise challenges, all in pursuit of the prestigious MasterChef Serbia title and a cash prize of €50,000.
Aspiring cooks from all corners of Serbia – and beyond – stepped forward to showcase their culinary skills. Over the course of 28 episodes, viewers followed contestants tasked with preparing delicious dishes under strict time limits and meeting the high standards of a distinguished judging panel: top culinary experts Filip Ćirić, Branko Kisić, and Nenad Atanasković. Throughout the show, judges eliminated those who failed to meet expectations.

After several casting phases, the top 40 contestants earned a place in the live auditions. Divided into eight groups, they had just 40 minutes to prepare their signature dish.
Based on the judges’ ratings, 24 contestants advanced to the next stage, where they had 45 minutes to create a dish using everyday ingredients found in an average Serbian household. Some secured a direct spot in the Top 16, while others had to cook a vegetarian meal to fight for their place in the MasterChef kitchen.
From episode to episode, the Top 16 battled for the title, facing new ingredients, advanced techniques, and complex recipes. One by one, contestants left the competition – leaving behind a display of passion, determination, charisma, and heart.
In the end, only two finalists remained. In a tense final showdown, Tanja Simić emerged victorious as the first MasterChef Serbia winner, taking home the €50,000 prize.
