Maybe it's because I don't get out much anymore (!) or maybe because I don't watch much TV beyond Oprah and Casualty (!) but my husband started watching Come Dine with Me on Channel 4 (UK only, I think) and has got friends and family hooked!
It's utterly compelling TV, even though you might think it looks complete rubbish. I can guarantee a few moments of wincing (the people watching is second to none) and the food, which usually looks really unappetising!!
It doesn't matter which diet you are following; I promise you won't be sent rushing to the fridge.
The format is simple. Five strangers from a town get to host a dinner party over a week. Each week's winner (a different person cooks for everyone else each weekday evening) takes home £1,000.
It's just great entertainment, tucked away at a worker-unfriendly time - so just tape it, if you can! Or, if you fancy your chances and are not camera shy, why not enter yourself?
Bon Appetit!
I am totally addicted to Come Dine with Me, as is my sister, my two nieces both in 20's - it is a tribute to unbelievably brilliant, funny fly on the wall TV !! So funny, and most think they are so fabulous, as Tiger Girl would say - lots of "twirling" !!! xxxx
