Friends For Dinner

Return of the series whereby a celebrity chef helps a member of the public with their culinary phobias.

Lesley Kennelly has a fear of cooking fish and pastry that no ordinary psychiatrist will take seriously, let alone cure (although she is a nurse - God knows what unspeakable pastry-and-fish-like humans she has to deal with every day).

Enter Gary Rhodes, who thrusts a daunting menu of roast monkfish with crispy bacon, followed by a bittersweet strawberry tart with marscapone cheesecake cream before her.

With TV cameras present, she cannot give him the V-sign before cracking open a tin of something.

Honestly, though, why bother with stuff that could kill you if you don't heat it properly when something as divine as baked beans exists?

She has to go through the motions of cooking, with Gary just a phone call away if it all gets too much.
