While India and Sri Lanka prepared for a face-off in the ICC World Cup finals, a different kind of competition was on at the studio. Bringing together our love for good food and drink and (for some) cricket, a lunch-table conversation ended with us splitting into teams to face each other in a cook-off.
The Challenge
Two cocktail snacks
(because actual, proper cooking only comes to a few)
One cocktail
And like all proper challenges, there was a theme (Cricket!) and judges.

The judges, the food, the drinks and the most amazing chocolate-hazelnut-whiskey cake

A morning of cooking, an afternoon of eating and drinking and an evening with an exciting match that India won. Could a Saturday get any better?
