Currently Munching: Onuga Caviar on rice cakes
Time for a cookery show recommendation: Restaurant in our Living Room. It is too funny: basically two couples run their own restaurant in their living room. They have a budget of £500 and 24 hours to prepare. Chaos of course ensues, everything goes wrong – and it is brilliant car crash TV. The guests at the restaurants pay what they think the evening was worth at the end of the night and whoever raises the most cash wins a trip to a culinary hot spot. My favourite disaster has been the couple that created a drive-in in their garden. Guests were picked up in a ‘lovely’ collection of Fords and Range Rovers at the gate, driven a full twenty metres and parked in a circle surrounding a very enthusiastic Michel Buble impersonator who sang joyously to the guests as they ate canapés from Iceland, a hot pork roll, and defrosted individual Iceland desserts whilst sitting in the back of a random person’s car (random person employed as driver who awkwardly sits in front seat as the ‘meal’ is consumed, its basically like inviting your taxi driver to your dinner). It was a total disaster but made for fantastic viewing and I look forward to it every week – it’s on Thursday nights on Virgin.
