Coronation Chicken Terrine a lá Emma and Wendy 

You may have been following my school friends’ epic colour-themed Come Dine With Me battle that’s been going on since my partner Fiona and I hosted our Mellow Yellow evening back in October of 2010.  The Orange Team held their night in November, followed by a Green evening in February of this year.

Last Friday night, it was time for the final evening of our Come Dine With Me series.  The Red Team were up and as it was April 29th, it would have been rude not to acknowledge the Royal Wedding in some way.  And so it was that I went to a Royal Wedding Themed Come Dine With Me dinner last Friday night.  And what jolly good fun it was, too.

A big thank you to Emma, Fiona, Frances, Jenny, Judith, Sarah and Wendy who made this year’s CDWM even more fun than the years before.  And also a shout-out to Edwina and Julie Anne who joined us for the soirée last Friday night.

Have a look after the jump for more pics of the Royally Red evening and to find out who walked away from this round as the winners!

In fourth place was myself and Fiona with our Yellow evening.

In third place was the Green team, Frances and Jenny.

The Royally Red evening came in third place.

The winners of Come Dine With Me 2010 were the Orange team of Judith and Sarah!

Below are the pics of The Royal-Red Themed CDWM.

Cucumber and watercress sandwiches as canapés

We were all presented with a tiara, which were worn for the duration of the event.

Each guest had customised regal-themed names for the evening

Coronation Chicken Terrine to start….

Beef Cobbler with homemade cheesy dumplings, herby potatoes and red cabbage

The totally fab dessert of Pimm’s Trifle featuring Pimm’s jelly.  Scrumptious!

Roll on Come Dine With Me 2011/2012!

Anyone have ideas for possible themes for us?!  We’ve done countries and colours…what should we do next?
