Glamour girl, Abi, should be sitting pretty as the previous chefs in celebrity Come Dine With Me have failed to cook up a storm. But she's still nervous about pleasing such high maintenance dinner guests
Abi admits she likes a challenge and will be cooking an epic five course extravaganza completely from scratch. But the lad's mag lovely has done her groundwork, reading her recipe book front to back. She starts with the tapenade but there's a problem with the blender. She's forgotten the blade. There are some things you just don't get from book learning.
Before her guests arrive Abi runs through her raunchiest front covers. "This was the first one I did," she explains holding up a nude shot. "And then all of a sudden I'm a glamour model. I just thought they'd be pics to show the grandkids." What grandchild wouldn't want to see Granny in the buff, bar a strategically placed telephone wire?
As well as her mammoth menu, Abi's also pulled the stopper out of a bottle of £2000 wine. Paul and Linda are impressed but it seems Lesley's only got eyes for Rodney. The pair have been giggling and flirting all week and it's all Abi can do to get a word in.
Four courses in and her guests' constant criticisms are wearing her down. "It's like trying to impress a bunch of philistines," she moans. "One more night and I do not have to have dinner anymore with these people."
On arrival Abi served her guests a selection of homemade canapés including cream and basil stuffed tomatoes, smoked salmon on rye bread and quail eggs.
Having scoffed the hors d'oeuvres, Abi's guests received a starter of melon, grape and grapefruit cocktail.
Abi's main meal included chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto stuffed with olive tapenade all served with Dauphinoise potatoes and carrots.
For pudding Abi served a trio of sweets - mint panna cotta, raspberry coulis and tuiles amandines. Unfortunately, we can't bring you Abi's dessert recipes but why not try these vanilla pannacotta, summer pudding and vindaloo ice cream cone recipes instead?
Finally Abi ended her evening with white chocolate strawberries and homemade rose and vanilla chocolate truffles. Unfortunately, we can't bring you the recipes for Abi's petits fours but for a similar effect try these strawberry petits fours and chocolate truffles instead.
