Cafe owner Clive believes in looking good and pays strict attention to the art of presentation. But it's going to take more than a slick makeover to please these discerning diners.

Clive Page is a cafe owner and self-confessed beauty addict with a passionate aversion to seafood. He believes the key to a successful dinner party is to relax and his plan for party preparation includes a trip to the hairdressers, beauticians and a large glass of wine.

"It doesn’t have to be the best in the world, it's more about how things look," explains Clive. So he spruces up his wine bottles with some sexy stockings.

Clive says he wants gasps and theatre from his guests and he certainly gets them when his vigorous home fire almost sets his diners alight.

And it's fireworks to finish as Clive tries one last push to impress his guests? Will his slick presentation and generous portions be enough to steal the top chef's crown?

Clive cooked roasted tomato and garlic soup for starters. Unfortunately for copyright reasons we can't show you Clive's recipe but for a tasty alternative try this squash and tomato soup recipe

Unfortunately for copyright reasons we can't show you Clive's chicken pie recipe but why not try this chicken and leek version instead.

Clive used Jamie Oliver's chocolate pots and orange and polenta biscuits recipe from Jamie's The Return of the Naked Chef book. Unfortunately we can't show you this recipe for copyright reasons but browse these Jamie recipes instead. Or alternatively try this chocolate fudge pot recipe.
