Do her crispy croutons and lamb shank stew impress?
On the second night, Shoba is serving an Indian menu. The guests are less than impressed with the frozen fish curry; can belly dancing, Bollywood-style, save the day?
31-year-old drum tutor Rob is hoping his Thai-tastic menu will impress his guests and snare him the prize, as well as impressing the object of his affections, Petrina.
49-year-old Petrina hopes her experience entertaining on cruise ships gives her the edge. Or will it be her dessert: 'Petrina's Salted Caramel Chocolate Crunch Surprise'?
The final night in north Surrey is hosted by Giovanni, who wants to fly the flag for Sicily with family-inspired recipes. But a tagliatelle tragedy leaves him with Parmesan on his face.
