The show heads to Essex, and first to showcase their cooking skills are partners Edith and Martin who are desperate to impress with their African themed menu, but things don't go quite to plan. A very spicy kebab ignites the taste buds of married couple Danny and Shira and an oven malfunction leaves a nasty taste in the mouth of husband and wife Ana and Ian. Day two sees Ana and Ian whip up a menu inspired by Ana's Latino roots and their hosting skills are put to the test with some brutal feedback about their grub. Finally, it's Danny and Shira's chance to impress with some of their favourite comfort food. Despite a kitchen ding dong they put on a united front at the dinner table but they get a dose of their own medicine from one diner out for revenge. With some celebrity name dropping and some impromptu rapping, can they get their guests back on side and walk away with a thousand pounds in their back pockets?
