Had a fantastic time cooking along with Gordon - actually taped it Friday and invited friends over on Saturday night which worked just as well. Just a couple of points on the instructions - did not catch what temp the oven should have been at and what to do with potatoes/brocolli got a bit lost in the mahem of the studio BUT all in all, food turned out superb and will definitely be joining in again during the series. It's great fun and a really different way to spend an evening with friends with the host/ess not feeling left out coz everyone's in the kitchen to give a helping hand if needed! Definitely recommend it for entertainment and great food! Guests commented that they'd never have ordered some of the ingredients on the menu in a restaurant but really enjoyed them. Recipes are great to keep for future dinner parties too as they were simple and simply delicious. Thank you Cookalong Live!
