It's back, you guys! Made In Chelsea has returned to our screens in all its glory. And, as a result, also back are Made In Chelsea Mondays – that glorious time of the week where you pile yourself into a living room full of girls (and reluctant boys) to watch the latest installment of what might just be the most highbrow television show our generation has ever been responsible for. Here’s how to take your low-key Made In Chelsea Monday night and catapult it into the dizzying realms of Sloanesville, and transform it into one of those weird parties they always have on the show where they play Bastille on repeat and no 0ne looks like they're having any fun at all…
The Drink
A little something sparkling never goes amiss dah-ling. Crack out your best prosecco and make nice with the bellini – obviously it looks best when it’s being served to your guests on silver platters by a member of the underclasses.
Here's a recipe:
Ingredients
4 parts Martini & Rossi Prosecco
1 part sugar syrup
4 white peaches (can use peach juice)
Some peach puree (peel and blend peaches, strain and refrigerate until cold)
Instructions
The Food
A full meal is absolutely not an option. Have you ever seen anyone on the show stay long enough in a restaurant without storming out to finish a meal? No. Canapés are the only way you're going to get a bite to eat before you have to make a sharp exit when an old flame enterd the room with a glass of water in hand.
We say, skip the savory treats and head straight for dessert – here's a super-tasty recipe for mini cheesecakes that's got none of the fiddly bits we assumed making canapés would entail. Just tray bake a whole bunch then cut up into little bits.
Ingredients
250g ginger snap biscuits
100g butter, melted
250g ricotta
250g cream cheese
200g soured cream
3 large eggs
250g caster sugar
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 lemon, finely grated rind and juice
150ml double cream
2-4 tbsp lemon curd or fresh raspberries, to decorate
Method
What To Wear
Um HELLO, you’ve got how many clothing lines to choose from? For us, though, it’s less about Jamie Laing’s Candy Kittens range (how much pink can one girl handle, Jamie?) and, instead, we’re coveting Proudlocks’s actually rather cool Serge DeNimes range. Sure, some of it’s a bit too out there for us, but we can definitely get on board with this sweatshirt. And this snake ring. They are for men, though, so go for the small ones.
Also, erm, never knew you needed jeans with different coloured pockets? Thanks to Louise, your dreams can now become a reality.
The Music
**Obvioulsy Andy Jordan’s debut single 'A Whole Lot Of Water' should be played religiously during ad breaks. SO. MANY. EMOTIONS. #Louise.
