This week's competition comes from in and around Essex, and first to host is Essex-proud events planner Natalie. She's hoping that a homely night with some tried and tested dishes and a decent dose of banter will wow her competition - but will it be enough for her to clinch the £1000 cash prize? For that, she'll need to impress straight-talking business woman, Alison, excitable dentist Amarinder, child talent agency owner Donia and fish salesman, Dean. With a menu cleverly designed for ease, channelling her events planning experience and a sprinkle of good ol' Essex charm - will Nat have done enough to bag herself the grand?
