Cast: Alan Davies, Darren Boyd, Katherine Parkinson, Stephen Wight, Isy Suttie, Amit Shah, Maggie Steed, Matt King, Oliver Lansley
Bib has officially left and Roland is missing him already as chaos reigns in the kitchen. Interviews for a replacement drag though, one Beatrice seems the best - and prettiest - of a bad bunch.
Roland annoys Bib yet again when he swans off to do a television cookery show, taking Skoose as his assistant, and leaving Bib to organize a large outdoor buffet.
The health inspector is due but Roland tells Bib not to worry as he can always be bribed with a bottle of wine. Sadly for Roland, a different inspector calls, Ms. Critch, who takes a dim view of bribes and is not pleased with the state of the kitchen's hygiene.
Skoose is only too pleased to be put in charge when Roland does his outdoor demonstration of Thai cookery, impressing glamorous promoter Alison Harris in the process, and then drives Bib to the fertility clinic. In the evening he treats Alison to dinner and all is going well until he notices that she only has one arm.
Bib worships the young television celebrity chef Shay Marshall. Roland thinks he stinks. However when restaurant manager Caroline insists Roland update his monotonous menus and lazy Roland delegates this to Bib, a visit by Shay, who gives Bib a copy of his new cook-book, results in some very exotic dishes on the menu.
Executive chef, Roland White runs a restaurant kitchen while narrating his book. He hires an ambitious apprentice chef to help his beleaguered head chef.
