Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall continues to discover the truth about amateur cooking as he joins Gordon Irvine at his wedding anniversary dinner. Only the finest haute cuisine will do for this former docker residing on a housing estate near Glasgow.
Gordon regularly does hours of overtime just so he can purchase the best ingredients and utensils he can find. He even bluffs his way into a wholesaler's food warehouse used by restaurateurs to buy the finest ingredients shipped over from the Paris markets.
Surprise parties can be risky to arrange - particularly when it's for your flatmate, but when Tricia Wallace and Alison Haughton plan a dinner for their friend Amaka, they leave nothing to chance.
Both second year students at Birmingham university, Tricia and Alison spend most of their time exploring the local markets in search of the best ingredients for the traditional Caribbean cooking they have become famous for amongst their friends. Amaka suspects nothing as all of Tricia and Alison's hard work pays off.
