Come Dine with Me - Season 12 - Eps 13: Portsmouth, Maria Wilkinson
Maria Wilkinson is third on the list to host the dinner party. Being a restaurateur, Maria believes she has an upper hand, despite not being a professional chef. On the flip side, some of her guests hope she will be fair and not have her restaurant chefs prepare the meal. But Maria does use the services of her business partner who will act as server. Maria's menu consists of double baked smoked applewood soufflé as a starter, crab and mint mousse stuffed chicken breast as the main course, and white chocolate pannacotta for dessert. Instead of a palette cleanser between courses, Maria decides on a bit of activity for her guests, which doesn't go exactly according to plan. By the end of the evening, the guests have as much to say about Maria as they do about her business partner.

Synopsis
Amateur chefs compete against each other by hosting a dinner party for the other contestants. Each competitor then rates the host's performance with the winner winning a £1,000 cash prize. An element of comedy is added to the show through comedian Dave Lamb, who provides a dry and "bitingly sarcastic" narration.
