Hugh joins baby Indie Mo's Welcome to the World party, where a very unusual ingredient is on the menu - a mother's placenta. Ninteen-year-old Rosie and her partner Lee have just had a little boy - Indie Mo - and to celebrate his birth, his grandmother Mary is throwing a Welcome to the World Party as an alternative Heather Matuozzo is a 38-year-old divorced single mum from Solihull. For 12 years she lived in Sorrento with her Italian husband, where she found herself very homesick and missing the curries of Birmingham. Thanks to the food parcels from her two loyal school chums, she was able to ease the homesickness by introducing the familiar tastes of home to traditional Italian fare. Now back in the Midlands, Heather serves up some of these hybrid dishes to her school friends for their annual reunion - but not before she has welcomed them with their old school favourites: cold baked bean, beetroot and crisp sandwiches and a quick swig of barley wine.
