In this fast-paced funny food format, three keen- as-mustard cooking couples compete against each other to lay on the best spread for some very demanding party hosts. Each day of the week they must all prepare in advance before finishing their catering at the party venue and serving up to the picky guests. The host then takes soundings from all the guests at the end of each party, and decides whose food they would pay the most for. At the end of the week – after our amateurs have catered for five very different parties – the winners will walk away with all the cash they’ve earned. From birthday bashes and hectic housewarmings to romantic engagement dinners and exotic bon voyage farewell parties, our highly competitive cooking couples have to dig deep and cater at a scale and to culinary standards they’ve never attempted before.
