Hi all, administrator Cheree has very kindly allowed me to share the following with you, I do hope you find it enjoyable viewing!

Virgin1 turns up the heat with Restaurant In Our Living Room

Starts 24th September at 9pm


Virgin1 unveils hot new series Restaurant In Our Living Room this September, a programme truly designed to tickle your tastebuds. This new concept in competitive dining sees culinary couples going head-to-head to create the ultimate dining experience in their own homes.

However, this is no intimate dinner party this is dining out credit-crunch style. Couples will be opening their homes to complete strangers but will they decide to cater for 60 diners or just a table of 2? All contestants know is that they have a strict budget and just three days to transform their homes into a fully-functioning restaurant, and its really not as easy as it looks! This is dining out with a difference, guests only have to pay what they think the meal is worth and the winning couple is the one which takes the most on the night.

In each episode two pairs of food fanatics are pitted against each other to create the best Restaurant In Our Living Room. The series is inspired by real underground restaurants, or supper clubs, where disillusioned foodies, fed up with over-priced, over-hyped restaurants, are fighting the recession by opening their kitchens to paying customers. Even celebrities are tucking in, with Jo Wood creating her own home restaurant this summer serving customers organic fare straight from her Richmond garden.

Each week on the facebook fan page we will be featuring money saving tips, hints and recipes to help you though the credit crunch so become a fan now!
