Episode 1 (3x1)

: 07, 1998

This episode features amateur chefs Jon Ashton and Marguerite Vincent. Jon, 24, is a chirpy Liverpudlian who spends his spare time trying out dishes on friends and family alike. But now, he and girlfriend Mary are off to travel the world and he's cooking a farewell barbie for 30 from his holiday caravan on the Wirral. Meanwhile, in Surrey, Marguerite Vincent's culinary expertise is in demand once again. As social secretary of her local Conservative club, Marguerite has issued a three-line whip to local ward members for a fund-raising evening to swell party coffers. In her Richmond flat, Marguerite is "queen of the kitchen" according to husband, Edward, who keeps a low profile while the preparations get under way. Hugh, sensibly, keeps to the sidelines too, as Marguerite proficiently prepares a dazzling array of food.
