Come Dine with Me is back for its 37th season! In the first episode of series 37, we are introduced to a new group of contestants all vying for the title of ultimate dinner party host and a cash prize at the end of the week.

The first contestant to host his dinner party is Craig, a salesman from Glasgow. He decides to give his guests a taste of his Scottish roots with a menu featuring haggis bon-bons, salmon fillet, and a traditional cranachan for dessert. Craig believes his hosting skills are top-notch, but will his quirky sense of humor and love of karaoke distract from the food, or will his guests embrace his unique style?

Next up is Alison, a retired civil servant from Edinburgh. Alison's love of all things vintage is evident in her quirky and retro-themed dinner party. The menu features a classic prawn cocktail, a hearty steak and ale pie, and a retro-style trifle for dessert. Alison's attention to detail is impressive, but will her guests appreciate the nostalgic experience or find it a bit too much?

The third contestant to host her dinner party is Lorraine, a retired teacher from Belfast. She opts for a modern twist on a traditional Irish menu with dishes like Irish rarebit with thyme and whiskey, Guinness-braised beef with colcannon, and a twist on the classic Irish coffee for dessert. Lorraine's love of storytelling and her charming wit keep the conversation flowing, but will her menu be a hit or miss with her guests?

The penultimate dinner party is hosted by Mark, a pharmaceutical sales representative from Nottingham. He draws inspiration from his travels to Asia with a menu featuring Thai fish cakes, a deliciously fragrant chicken green curry, and a mango sticky rice dessert. Mark's passion for cooking is evident, but with such bold flavors and spices, will his guests find the food too overwhelming?

The final dinner party of the week is hosted by Tia, a marketing executive from London. She showcases her love of fusion cuisine with a menu that combines her Indian heritage and British upbringing. The meal starts with spiced samosas followed by lamb curry with a side of homemade naan bread. For dessert, Tia creates a unique twist on the classic British dessert Banoffee pie. With her impressive culinary skills and flair for hosting, will Tia be able to clinch the title of ultimate dinner party host?

Throughout the week, the contestants rate each other's dinner parties out of ten, with the winner announced at the end of the week. But, as we have come to expect from Come Dine with Me, there are plenty of unexpected and dramatic moments throughout the week, from awkward small talk to kitchen disasters. Who will take home the prize, and who will be left with a bitter taste in their mouth? You will have to tune in to find out!
