Even a torrential downpour won't stop Richenda proving she's a barbie girl when Come Dine With Me heads to Gloucester
Country gal, Richenda Hines, is a publisher and a real loud-mouth, er, straight-talker. Not one to hide her feelings, Richenda confessed she wasn't looking forward to spending the week with four complete strangers. But after a rip-roaring evening at Tim's she's changed her mind and now loves everyone. Sadly, the feelings aren't completely mutual.
Since it's the summer, Richenda's going for a good old British barbecue. Sadly she's forgotten about the good old British weather. It's sheeting down outside. It's raining cats and dogs inside, too, with a mini menagerie comprising four horses, four dogs and three cats - not to mention a gruesome collection of stuffed crocodiles. Even the bottle opener's made from a kangaroo scrotum.
Unflappable Richenda won't be put off by the torrential rain. Or her broken scales. Or a little tumble down the steps. And why flap about dropping a few eggs when there's a four legged helper on hand to clean up with his doggy tongue? It seems her guests agree, and despite some pretty ropey pastry, everyone bonds over a mutual hatred of preachy leftie vegetarians. Yeah.
Richenda's guests couldn't get enough of her salad of warm figs and goat's cheese served with a glass of peach fizz.
Rain didn't stop play, and the butterfly barbecue chicken got cooked under a lid. She served it with salads and focaccia
If only her scales worked - Richenda's pastry let down the otherwise yummy rich chocolate tart served with chocolate dipped strawberries.
