All in One: Costa del Sol Special (S24E07)
In a groundbreaking edition of Come Dine with Me, the culinary showdown takes place in the sunny Costa del Sol, where four amateur ex-pat chefs vie for the £1000 prize. As always, the scores are kept secret until the end of the week, adding to the suspense. Kicking off the competition, aspiring entrepreneur Mekala Hodgson serves a decidedly un-Spanish dish: pie and mash, celebrating her Essex heritage. Then, cultured and bilingual Greg Van Praagh tries to impress with his intricate dishes, but a shaky dessert leads to some guests having their own meltdowns. Sun-loving retiree John Morton plans a fun-filled evening, but when a joke backfires, chaos ensues. Finally, it's up to the lively Mandy Strutton to bring harmony back to the group with her Thai cuisine. Will they reconcile before the winner is announced?
