Straight talking Filipino, Laura, wants to win the cash to fly home and see her kids for Christmas. But how will her exotic cuisine fare with the patriotic purists in Come Dine With Me Aberdeen?

Having moved to Britain to try and raise money for a better life for her children back in the Philippines, Laura hopes the £1000 prize money will help her get home to be with them at Christmas.

Laura's cooking up some traditional Filipino cooking that her mum used to make her when she was a child… oh yeah, and some Yorkshire puddings. For dessert she's make leche flan, a choice that has her guests in a bit of a fluster. "Isn't a leche someone who pervs on people?" muses Rick.

The first dish of the evening is mussels in oyster sauce and prawn tempura. To add a bit of sweetness to the dish Lara chucks in a glug of fizzy pop. Time for tea and the starter is a hit with Rick. "The mussels and the sauce she did them in was to die for, really, to die for," he raves. Steady on Rick, it's only Sprite.

Bob's not happy about the shop-bought Yorkshires and even has a grumble about the way Laura holds her fork. "I often watch people eating," he begins. Really Bob, that sort of talk could get you locked up.

Finally to dessert - can Laura's 'pervy' pudding put a smile on Bob's face? "I can feel my teeth rotting," he announces. Complimentary indeed.

Starter

To get the party started Laura served mussels in oyster sauce and prawn tempura.

Main Course

For the main event Laura served an old family favourite – chicken pastel with Yorkshire pudding.

Dessert

To finish things off she served leche tart – no perving necessary.

Leche Flan recipe 8 yokes of large eggs, 1 can of 450 ml evaporated milk and 1 can of 390 ml of condensed milk. Mix all together and sieve the mixture (Don't use electric food mixer etc. to mix). Use either syrup or brown some sugar and put in the bottom of the dishes and pour mixture in. Leave to settle and try to get all the air bubbles out before cooking. Steam the dishes for 35-40 min and leave to cool. *** Tip *** Try some squirty cream and some fruit of your choice with it

In Laura's recipe for Leche Tart there is no mention of evaporated milk. How much is needed and is it mixed with the condensed milk?
