Come Dine with Me

S01E03: Stoke, Tricia Martin

Tricia Martin - Stoke's answer to Hyacinth Bucket - makes her bid for dinner party dominance in this episode of Come Dine With Me. Tricia's menu is carefully thought out: home-made watercress soup, fish pie and a sensational pannetone bread-and-butter pudding which she hopes will win top marks from her guests.

Overview

Amateur chefs compete against each other by hosting a dinner party for the other contestants. Each competitor then rates the host's performance with the winner winning a £1,000 cash prize. An element of comedy is added to the show through comedian Dave Lamb, who provides a dry and "bitingly sarcastic" narration.
