Come Dine With Me

Everyone knows the show "Come Dine With Me" right?

"Come Dine With Me is a popular Channel 4 television programme shown in the United Kingdom, produced by ITV Studios (formerly known as Granada) and first broadcast in January 2005. The show has either four or five amateur chefs competing against each other hosting a dinner party for the other contestants. Each competitor then rates the host's performance with the winner winning a £1,000 cash prize. An element of comedy is added to the show through comedian Dave Lamb, who provides a dry and "bitingly sarcastic" narration."

This is Dave Lamb.

The Prince's Trust group planne to bring in a variety of people who work alongside Prince's Trust for a three course meal in the same sort of layout.

So hell yeah we put our names down for that one!

The Menu:

Starter:

Toasted French Bread topped with Mozzarella and Tomatoes, drizzled with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar. Served with a side salad.

Main:

Homemade Lasange with home made Garlic Bread.

Dessert:

Blueberries, Raspberries and Strawberries with Vanilla Ice-Cream with an Icing Sugar Dusting.

We had a whole timetable to stick to as we were catering for about 25 people. We laid out all the tables to look smart and professional and added final touches, such as napkin rolled cutlery, table water and name places. We were pretty much rushed off our feet the whole entire time as once we finished the ton or two of chopping we had to make all the courses so they flowed easier later on!

Somehow at the end we even managed to lead the unexpected tour. So if we ever stop blogging you know Bear & Penguin have gone into business as tour guides! We did okay considering there was a big group to show around and we ourselves had only gone into about three of the room out of the many that was there.

At least on the way home we got to relax on the train home with strawberries and creme fraiche. 

Yummy!
