American interior designer Carol Chalmers impresses her guests with her food and her presentation, and her night is made all the more memorable by doctor Anna Brocklebank, whose eccentric personality has the group in stitches of laughter. Competitive nail technician Michelle Catacos pulls out all the stops as she tries to better Carol's night with a Greek banquet. But a second consecutive night of good food leaves businessman Robin Lewis, the only man in the group, feeling the pressure. He tries to deflect attention from Michelle's night by asking the group what he needs to do to impress them, which doesn't go down well with Michelle, who refuses to give him any tips. On Robin's evening, Michelle questions every dish of his menu, with interesting results. Bon viveur Anna rounds off the week, regaling her guests with stories of the 'Death Room' upstairs and her links with the aristocracy. But will Anna's food live up to her fascinating table talk? Only the best will be enough in a week of top-quality cooking...
