Zurich in cooking fever: The highlights of the perfect dinner week!

The popular cooking show "The Perfect Dinner" inspires spectators in Germany week after week.

The participants are set up in many ways in the current week and present a mixture of regional and international dishes. Every evening, a candidate has the opportunity to create a three-course menu, which is rated by his colleagues. Each dinner can achieve a maximum of 40 points, which then result from the ratings of 0 to 10 points for each dish.
