Come Dine With Me Winner!
Linda says:
Why thank you kind Keeley!! Modesty prevents me from saying I was a worthy winner !! Everyone's event was fab and my tummy is delighted to have the company of additional inches which I so obviously need. Maybe we should do it all again around Xmas with the theme being cocktails ... Seriously though, would like to thank all for coming and for making such splendid meals in the last few weeks and for all the recipes i'm am now obliged to 'borrow'!

Come Dine With me! Part 2!
Come Dine With Me- Part 2
Hi Guys!
I’m very sad to say, we have now finished our fantastic version on ‘Come dine with me’ It’s been really fun and I definitely recommend doing it with a small group of friends if ever you can organise something.
So, we went to Linda’s dinner party on Friday. The final stage of the competition!
We had no idea what the theme or the menu was going to be, so we were all really excited!We walked in and were greeted with the soundtrack from the musical… ‘Fiddler on the roof’ to be told that Linda’s theme was one of a Jewish Dinner Party! Fantastic! Definitely different to the 80’s theme we had the previous Friday!
The dinner table was beautifully presented, a pristine white tablecloth with white folded napkins. Beautiful in its simplicity. Looked very professional indeed!
We started off with double of Linda’s home made Mojito’s, which we then decided we wanted more of even though it wasn’t traditional and didn’t go with the food, we didn’t care because they were lovely!
Here’s how the menu looked:
Starter
Mixed Hors D’oeuvres
Home made chopped Herring
Egg and Onions
Chopped Liver
I stuck to the egg and onions and chopped liver, I don’t do fish, although it did look lovely….for fish! Everyone else seemed to really enjoy the herring however, A really nice light appetiser before the other courses. 2
2nd Course
Lochshen soup
Chicken soup with very fine noodles, these balley things that were apparently made from Matzo meal and ground almonds. Yummy!
3rd Course
Salt Beef
which was really sweet and tender, Latkas (these are grated potatoes, apples, onions and stuff, all mixed together and fried. To die for!)
Home made sweet pickled cucumbers.
We had a couple of bottles of Austrian White with dinner, I could explain what it was called but by this point we had had quite a tipple so I’m slightly unsure! But it was goooodd.
Dessert
Apple Strudel with a Calvados mascarpone cream. We had this with instant coffee – she drew the line!!!
Overall, what a night! Fantastic food, great atmosphere, everyone really really enjoyed themselves. Food was amazing, theme was interesting and different, Mojito’s were great, wine was great, we were in need of the coffee at the end!A night to remember.
And, surprisingly enough, Linda was the winner! It was quite unanimous really I think. She really did deserve it though. I wasn’t jealous in the slightest.
All drinks on Linda next time round!
Looking back, it certainly was something that we will be making the effort to do again. Hope you have all enjoyed reading up on our experience, we hope we have inspired you with some good ideas for either having a crack at it yourself, or stealing a few foodie ideas!
Let us know what you think!

Come Dine With Me!
I did a Come Dine with me special themed dinner party last Friday, just thought id share it with you guys becuase we had so much fun!
We've already done 2 previously at 2 other friends houses, but this time it was my turn!
So, here’s what happened.
There was me and four of my friends that were there, 2 guys and 2 girls so it was quite a nice crowd of people for a dinner party. I wanted to do something a bit different, something that people would remember, so I went with a 70’s theme dinner party!
I borrowed my sister’s lava lamp and put Abba on in the background. Everything was great! Apart from the abba in background!
I took Linda’s advice (Founder of the company) and made mini little menus for people and little name place mats , both out of card in fancy italic black writing printed from the computer. They were really cute and people loved them so thanks for the inspiration!
Here’s how the menu looked:
Starter
Prawn cocktail
I used giant king prawns so they looked really impressive and were juicier then normal. Everyone loves a good cocktail!
Main Course
Steak Diane, with Buttered new potatoes and buttered asparagus. Went down a treat, especially with the men! One of my favourite dishes of all time.
Dessert
Peach Melba
I did my own easy-peasy version of Peach Melba, inspired by Linda,
She’s a bit of a cooking Guru! Basically, I did the Peach Melba, but slightly cheated with the peach. It was a great success and everyone really enjoyed it!
Oh yeah, and I put four cheeses out before I brought out the dessert. I wasn’t sure if everybody had room for dessert!
I put out a nasty smelly blue one, a sweet wednesdayle one and a Brie! Linda said do not serve the cheese cold, leave it out all-day and I’m glad I did because it was like melt in your mouth style! Absolutely gorgeous I love cheese! We also had a tipple of port, as you do!
Over all it was a great success I feel. Everyone seemed really impressed, I hope they were! Very excited about tonight as its Linda’s turn to wow us. This is the last night unfortunately for everybody, because we have had so much fun doing it!
So we will continue to let you know on Monday who the winner will be and what the outcome of the meal was, as we be voting together, EXCITE!
