Knorr Taste Quest is a Unilever Nigeria-sponsored TV reality show that started airing in 2013. The show was created to reinforce Knorr’s culinary expertise and to bring to life the brand’s love for flavor. It is designed for people to showcase their culinary skills, as well as bring to the homes of consumers an exciting and educational cooking show in Nigeria. During the show, the brand's panel of expert judges give various tasks to the contestants to test their culinary prowess and also their creativity.
Two well-known Nigerian celebrity chefs, Dr Robert and Chef Fregz, have been the judges from the start of the show to Season (4). In the competition, the judges select the best 12 contestants to compete for 13 weeks, with one of them emerging as the winner and ultimately crowned as Nigeria’s culinary best.

At the start of each season, there is a ‘call to entry’ into the competition and afterwards an audition process where qualified candidates are selected to enter into the final competition which can involve delivering different tasks as allocated by the judges.
