EPISODE
GUIDE:
Episode 1
Neneh and Andi's long friendship has centred around the meals they’ve cooked and eaten together, so in the first episode of the new series, 12 of their closest girlfriends flew into London from all across Europe to indulge in a tapas-inspired feast. They named their night 'Midnight Margaritas' in homage to a scene in one of their favourite chick-flicks, Practical Magic. Neneh, Andi and their guests enjoyed homemade Margaritas to kick off proceedings, taught by mixologist Grant Jarvis, before they tucked in to some of their favourite party
food.

Neneh also pays a visit to a local delicatessen in Stoke Newington, Gallo Nero, to get the low-down on the best cheese to use in their grilled polenta
dish.

Neneh Cherry and Andi Oliver cook Sunday lunch for
12 friends. Along the way, they visit their favourite market, Ridley Road
in Hackney, East London. While they're buying the meat, they bump into
their culinary hero, Nigel Slater. On the menu were molasses-dipped roast lamb, halloumi and roasted vegetables with a citrus and creme fraiche dressing and a sorbet made with hibiscus flowers, which are often brewed to make a refreshing drink in the
Caribbean.

basil.
