The Colours Of Africa

It had been a lazy night for the Hotshots, as they kicked back and bonded over memories of moving away from home and shared family photos; but in Big Brother's house no one remains idle for long. They received briefs for their task presentation, prompting Head of House Macky2 to call them all into the living room.

Biggie wanted the housemates to split into four teams of three and Macky2 said the best plan would be to place a skilled cook in each team, which would give everyone a fair chance for the task presentation.

Each team will be responsible for preparing one course of a four-course meal; the four courses are: an entrée, starter, main course and dessert. The theme for the entire dinner is "The Colours of Africa". The housemates definitely have their work cut out for them!

As always, Biggie would provide guidance and inspiration, this time in the form of recipes and reference pictures. Housemates have the option of adapting the recipes, using them as is or creating their own.

Tonight housemates are allowed to conceptualise and plan what they wish to do, but during the actual presentation tomorrow, they will have only fifteen minutes to demonstrate, cook and present their course to a panel of judges.

Each team must provide Biggie with a recipe so that he can go shopping for his housemates and make sure they have all they need.  He also expects them to create a sketch of their "art on a plate" design, which must be placed in the diary room before dawn breaks. Housemates can forget about an early night and should prepare to don their chef hats instead. What do you think of the task?
