Now that pubs and restaurants are open again, we thought that we would have a theme of 'TV Chefs' and a focus on food and drink generally. It is also 'International Chefs Day' on 20th October.
We asked members to come to the session armed with details of their favourite TV chef, their best ever meal out and their most recommended restaurant.
We then discussed our food likes and dislikes, or as they say on 'Saturday Kitchen', our food 'heaven' and 'hell'.
We then moved on to our picture and music quiz.
