Das perfekte TT Dinner / Running Dinner

After briefly flirting with the idea of entering the real das perfekte Dinner (filled out an online application ages ago & they just called me to do a casting ), I've decided I've more important stuff to be doing than worrying about what the sarky commentator might say about my cooking/tischdeko/apartment, or how to fit 4 guests plus cameras and crew into my little Essecke.

But I still like the idea of cooking and eating with a group of new people...

Would anyone be interested in a TT "perfektes Dinner"? Or running dinner? (different people cook the different courses of a meal - each course is eaten in a different person's home)

It's a good way to get to know people, try out some different styles of cooking and generally have a bit of a laugh!

They had the same show in the UK originally and I loved it. Very interesting idea dublindoll.

It's been done on TT before but it's still a good idea. If Hams is cooking I'm dining.

i'm totally in... as long as i can have it catered

What's been done before? A "come dine with me/perfektes Dinner"-style event or a running dinner?

I could bring a crew of 1 and a camera

Flattery will get you everywhere - maybe even a free dinner.

Count me in! (for a running dinner)

If we get enough people together a running dinner would be great. For those who've never done it before it goes something along these lines:

Partipicants work in pairs to prepare either a starter, main course or dessert. In groups of 6, each course is eaten in the home in which it was prepared. Each course is also eaten with a different group of people. So, at the end of the night, you've eaten in three different places, with 12 different people. Clear enough explanation?

I took part in this once as a student in Ulm and a great night was had by all...

hi

I am new to TT, living in Munich for 4 months now and yesterday finally slept for the first night in my new flat. I am interested in this running dinner, but at the moment I don't have a stove and a table&chairs...

let me know when this dinner is planned and I can be in a group of starter or desert (when you don't need a cooking stove). I live in Maxvorstadt. I am available most evenings, except from 18.7 - 1.8 (busy with work + vacation).

I think it would be best to have this on the weekend if that would suit people. I would suggest sometime in the end of August - how about Saturday 25th? I'll do the organising if people sign up!!

@Maja: Dont worry, only one of the pair cooking together needs to have a kitchen/cooking facilities

the other one of the pair cooking together needs to have kitchen/cooking abilities. I have a stove

yeah well, that could come in handy!

Lucky me the stove came, at no extra charge, with the intrinsical need of cooking learning.
After many years I am still alive, have not starved. It proofs that I cook, if not tasty, at least nutritive

hello again,

25. August suits me perfectly and I will most probably have cooking facilities by then:).

here is my e-mail: majamurko@yahoo.co.uk - so put me on the list and keep me updated.

This sounds like fun! But like Maja I don't have access to cooking facilities, or a place to eat for that matter, but I'd love to join in the fun!

Does the food need to be delicious?

there are no set requirements

@tdkwesel: Thats no problem - I'll make sure you're paired up with someone who does!

I would be interested in playing. Sounds good. Count me in.

OK, Anyone who is interested PM me with your email address* and I'll put together a list of contestents!

_{*These will not be passed onto any 3rd parties...yadayadayada...}

I'm in...
Just need the where n when n how many people.

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who's pm'd me their details so far.

To have a running dinner we need a minimum of 18 people - so far we have 8 - so keep signing up people by PM'ing me with your email address. The sign-up deadline is August 14th.
You can also enter this in twos and choose a partner to cook with if you wish.

The event should begin around 17.30, and will finish with a meetup somewhere in the city.

Promises to be an evening of fun and frolics!

*bump*

Anyone else interested?

Brill idea, they had something like this in Glasgow, 5 people taking turns to cook and it was great tv viewing, Id be up for it, unfortuantely Im up here in Wiesbaden. Good luck

just giving the post a boost in case anyone missed it who hasn't been on for a while. join us!

Sounds good! Count on me too for the future but not next saturday, I'm on a birthday party.

Sounds like fun ! Count me in . However, note that I am back from vacation Sept 10
