Ep 19. Sheffield: All in One

Come Dine with Me is a popular British television show where four strangers take turns cooking and hosting dinner parties for each other. In this episode, which is season 32 episode 19, the contestants are from Sheffield and the theme for the week is "All in One."

The first contestant is Andrew, a 51-year-old retired banker who has decided to prepare a hearty beef and vegetable stew for his guests. Andrew is very confident in his culinary skills, but his guests are not impressed with the lack of seasoning in his stew. To make matters worse, Andrew also forgets to put out any bread or side dishes for his guests.

Next up is Nadia, a 24-year-old psychology student who is originally from Egypt. For her meal, Nadia has chosen to prepare a traditional Egyptian dish called koshary, which is a mixture of rice, pasta, and lentils. Her guests are skeptical of the dish at first, but they are blown away by the combination of flavors and spices. Nadia also wins points for her presentation, as she has decorated her apartment with Egyptian artwork and played traditional music for her guests.

The third contestant is Tom, a 35-year-old market researcher who has decided to cook a paella for his guests. However, Tom's lack of experience with the dish shows, as the rice is overcooked and the seafood is under seasoned. Despite his culinary missteps, Tom impresses his guests with his hosting skills, as he has set up a photo booth for them to take pictures in and has even created a signature cocktail for the evening.

Last but not least is Sherrie, a 43-year-old fitness instructor who has prepared a vegetarian lasagna for her guests. Sherrie's dish is a hit, as her lasagna is loaded with fresh vegetables and seasoned to perfection. However, Sherrie's guests are less impressed with her lack of hosting skills, as she has forgotten to provide any drinks other than tap water and has not made any effort to decorate her apartment for the occasion.

As the week comes to a close, the contestants gather for a final dinner party and to vote for their favorite host. While all four contestants had their strengths and weaknesses, it is ultimately Nadia who comes out on top with her delicious Egyptian meal and thoughtful attention to detail in her hosting.
