Actually as it was her recipe I’ll get Mary berry to make one and then leave !

Lucca. As this has been mentioned a few times lately ? I looked it up online. It looks delicious. Sadly I’m a veggie but might make it for the family so that I can smell it.

That's OK Casdon I'll keep James Martin all to myself smile.

TerriBull Sun 15-May-22 10:38:28

I've got some late arrivals for my Heaven table Sanjeev Bhaskar and Nicola Walker perfect pairing and another perfect pair, imo Giles and Mary (The Nuttys) Goggle Box.

One more for the Hell table, Rebecca Vardy, don't know much about the woman but anyone who is indiscreet enough to talk about ex lovers' private parts is reprehensible imo, so for that I'll place her between Boris and Trump and she can talk about sausages or chipolatas, whatever applies, to her heart's content blush and they can all have a double helping of Andouillette for their sins (many) I'd include Katy Price but worried she might drive herself there, so perhaps not!

Yes she does, I loved her last book and when Michelle walked back in after a long absence with a very loaded "we've got to talk" it left it all a bit up in the air, we shall see in due course no doubt. Anyway Flint doesn't really like him so maybe not a good idea for Nelson to permanently get together with Ruth. One must always put one's cat first imo!

I don't mind where it is as long as my preferred chefs will agree to do the catering. Maybe someone from the dinners from hell can do the washing up, I 'm thinking Gemma Collins to bring out her inner diva which from what I hear is prone to burst forth at any time, I'll chuck in some Marigolds to pacify her smile
