It’s day one of our culinary show-down, in and around the Cardiff area. And first to take on the challenge of cooking for four complete strangers is mum, and business woman, Suzanne Green, from Caerphilly.

With this in mind she serves up sweetbreads – or lambs’ testicles. It’s a risky dish to serve to four people she’s never met before – so will it pay off?
