Meet the Disaster Chefs. They're the parents who are rubbish at cooking. | 0:00:01 | 0:00:04 | |
Dinner, Charley! | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
Nooooo! | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
They make things like this, and this, and this. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Disgusting. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
And foodie fanatic Stefan Gates is the only person who can help. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
Ah! | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
He's got just 24 hours to help them master a two-course meal | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
in a professional kitchen for some fierce critics. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
Horrible. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
Get cooking! | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
Will they raise like a souffle or flop like a pancake? | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
I've failed! | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
Will it be Yumm or Yuck? | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Start your blenders! | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Today's Disaster Chef is mum-of-four Michelle from Merseyside. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Her ten-year-old daughter Zeta loves singing, dancing and acting. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
But I think the fear in her eyes | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
when her mum approaches with food is real! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
Stay back, I don't want it. Go away. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
What? Your dinner's ready. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
Nooooooo! | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
She was born to be a bad cook. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
Mum Michelle can't even make toast. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
I do burn the pans and burn toast and what have you. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
Michelle is a force of nature in the kitchen. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
She does what she wants - forget the recipes. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
Last night, she just put a load of random stuff in a pan, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:39 | |
and, oh, it looked awful. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Mum, what are you cooking? | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Vegetables, mushrooms and bla-di-bla. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
I do a lot of cooking in our house, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
because I have more time, I think. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
The problem with Michelle is that she's always on the go, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
and it doesn't give it the time that it needs. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
I think my cooking's fine, actually. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Is that meant to be, like, some sort of stir-fry? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
I don't really know. Just chucking it all in. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
OK. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
My dad is like, really, really, really good at cooking, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
compared to my mum. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Healthy competition. Nice. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
They always say, "Mum, let me dad do the cooking, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
"cos he's better than you and it tastes nicer." | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
And I agree. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
For some reason, he thinks he's better than me, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
I don't think he is at all. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
No-one's safe from Michelle's cooking, not even the dog! | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
Sometimes we give him the leftover food that my mum's made and, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
well, he actually threw up from one of them once. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
He was sick as, well, a dog. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
But there's one dish Zeta would love Michelle to cook, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
and that's a curry. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
She's attempted to make curry for me before, but it's not nice, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
it has no taste, or no flavour. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
So Zeta's keeping Michelle out of the kitchen | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
until she can cook flavoursome, fabulous fuel | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
for her stage and screen career. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
What's going on? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:01 | |
Oh, please save me from this Disaster Chef! Please. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:07 | |
That's a wee bit much, Zeta. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
Time to call in meal master and all-round good egg Stefan Gates | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
to stir things up. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Can he turn Michelle from a lesser to a "grater" cook? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
Oh, stop, stop. This is...useless. Who writes these lame jokes? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
It's just getting cheesy. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
Well, thanks very much, Stefan. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
You know, you've never once offered me anything to eat. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
I'll be fine! | 0:03:30 | 0:03:31 | |
Hi, Stef, come in. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:37 | |
Hiya. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Hi, Stef, you all right? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
I hear we've got a bit of a situation going on here. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
Tell me, how bad your mum's cooking is. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Well, it's really bad, she made me porridge, | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
and I don't think it's food. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
What? That's not porridge. Look, look. It's completely solid. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
I don't think it's food either, Zeta. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
It's like some scary monster from the Planet Zarg. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
Oh, don't eat it, Stefan. No, no! | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
That is rubbish. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Right. Well, let's have a little look at Michelle's cooking. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
There's a technical term for this. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
Chefs call it bleuughhggh! | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Really got my work cut out here. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
-So you reckon your cooking's pretty good? -Yeah. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
Well, I want to see for myself. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
It's time for Stefan to see an egg-xample of how bad | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
Michelle's cooking really is. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
It's The Rookie Challenge. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
To make the perfect French toast with bacon, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Michelle needs eggs, bread, butter and bacon. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
Start frying the bacon. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
Crack the eggs, give them a whisk, bread in the eggs, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
butter in the pan, bread in the pan, let it fry. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Flip it, fry some more, add the bacon, serve it, enjoy. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
You've got exactly, five minutes to make this dish. Three, two, one. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:52 | |
Get cooking! | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
And she's off. And remember, if you're cooking at home, | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
get permission from your adult. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
-And it should be delicious. -OK. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
Cool, calm, collected, in control. That's what we like to see. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
What's the cheese for? | 0:05:07 | 0:05:08 | |
What, the cheese that looks surprisingly like butter? | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Oh, is that butter? | 0:05:11 | 0:05:12 | |
Hey, I often mistake butter for cheese. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
What... What's she doing? | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
I like it, a new technique, | 0:05:18 | 0:05:19 | |
buttering the bread rather than putting it in the pan! Mmm! | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
That's the crust! | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
-Watch out, it's going to get messy! -This is looking bad. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
Oh, give the bacon a bit of room! | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
30 seconds left. Three, two, one. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
Step away from the food! | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
Urgh! | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
What is this? It's like bacon soup! | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
Is that... That is your best offering. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
I'd just like to show you, what this delicious dish ought to look like. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
Brian, in you come! | 0:05:50 | 0:05:51 | |
Lovely watch, Brian. Thank you very much. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
So that is the perfect French toast. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-It looks the same. -It looks the same, does it? | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
Yeah, if you were in a dark room with the lights off! | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
It doesn't. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:03 | |
-I think what you can say is that that's rubbish, can't we? -Yes. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
What do you think about the difference between these two? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
I think I'd like to eat that one but definitely not this one. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
That was revolting. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
I've never seen eggy bread anything like that before. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
It was more like vomi-bread, but there was a little bit of nice, | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
crusty brown stuff on one side, so maybe there's a glimmer of hope. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
We're going to need it. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
Michelle, congratulations. You truly are a total and utter Disaster Chef. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
Thank you. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:33 | |
But, I'm here to change all of that. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
That's because tomorrow, if Michelle accepts the challenge, | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
she'll have to cook two courses in this swanky country house, | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
for three mystery judges, | 0:06:45 | 0:06:46 | |
and face a vote on whether her food is Yumm or Yuck! | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
Are you up for this challenge? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:51 | |
Erm... | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
-Michelle, are you up for this challenge? -Yes! | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
Excellent! If you succeed, then that will be fantastic. | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
If you fail, you have to wear the Disaster Chef hat, forever. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
-Oh, no! -OK? | 0:07:03 | 0:07:04 | |
Now we're going to go off and decide what the menu's going to be, | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
we're going to go shopping. You can clear this all up. Let's go. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
Stefan's got his hands full this time. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
So what would be your dream meal? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
I think I'd like an Indian. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
An Indian. That's quite tricky, spicy food for your mum. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
Let's give it a go. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
But what does Michelle want to get out of the Disaster Chef experience? | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
I am absolutely sick of the children | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
and John trying to say that I'm a bad cook, | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
so I would like to get some positive reviews at the end of it, really. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
I just don't really think I'm going to eat that. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
I have no idea why your husband and kids say you're a bad cook, | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
but have Stefan and Zeta found any magical ingredients | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
to make Michelle a good cook? | 0:07:50 | 0:07:51 | |
Well, I think we've got everything. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
Nearly everything. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
I thought we should just get one more exotic ingredient. Gold leaf. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
Gold leaf, where are we going to find some of that? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
A-ha. I've got a few ideas. Come on. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
No, not on the streets. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
And look! It's a gold leaf! | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
That's not real. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
And it doesn't grow on trees. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
That's it, just leave, won't you? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Leave. Leaf. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
Dig down deep. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:15 | |
Or even panning for gold. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Gold nuggets. Look at that. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
That's fool's gold, Stefan. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
No. Let's try somewhere else. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
I don't mean to speak out of turn, but have you tried the supermarket! | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
Guess what I found? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
What? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:30 | |
MUSIC: "Gold" by Spandau Ballet | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
# Gold. Always believe in your soul | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
# You've got the power to... # | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Yeah, that's enough, thanks. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
Stefan? Stef, Stefan! Hello? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
Stefan! | 0:08:43 | 0:08:44 | |
So, with gold in their pockets and a spring in their step, they're home. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
OK, what have you got there? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Seeds, sea-salt flakes, double cream, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
plain chocolate, pure original Basmati. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:57 | |
What on earth could Stefan have in mind with that assortment? | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
Let's find out. It's time to reveal The Menu! | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
But first, a game of chicken. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
And, there we go. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
Urgh! | 0:09:08 | 0:09:09 | |
She'll have to get used to handling that tomorrow because The Menu is... | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
For the main course, you'll be making Posh Chicken Tikka Masala | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
with pilau rice, and for the dessert you'll be making spiced poached pear | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
with gold leaf and oozing chocolate souffle. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
What do you reckon, how's she going to do? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
Well... | 0:09:28 | 0:09:29 | |
I think, she'll... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
Diplomatic answer, Zeta. Luckily, Michelle's going to have some help. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
It's time for Stefan's Crash Course. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
So, to make the perfect chicken tikka masala, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
Michelle will need to get a bowl. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
Put the spices in it. Mix in garlic, ginger, and yoghurt. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
Give it a whirl. Add chicken. Mix it around. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Leave it to chillax. Make the masala sauce. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Add boiled water to the sauce. Fry the chicken. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
Stick the rice on a plate. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:02 | |
Stick the chicken on the plate, | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
stick the sauce on the chicken, garnish, pukka! | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
Let's get cooking. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:09 | |
It's time to start the marinade, and Michelle needs to grate some ginger. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
Now just please watch your fingers, Michelle. Watch your fingers! | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
Please don't grate your fingers off, that's all I ask. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
She's dealt with the tough task of adding some yoghurt admirably. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
But when it comes to chicken, she can be a bit of a, well, chicken! | 0:10:22 | 0:10:27 | |
Stop, stop, OK. The way to cut food is not to go like this. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
OK. You hold it, but hold it very gently and firmly. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
You're in charge of it, OK? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
After clucking... I mean plucking up some courage, | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
it's into the marinade with the chopped chicken. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
OK. The biggest problem I've got here, | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
is that Michelle is clearly terrified of food. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
She's sort of dealing with it at arm's length, | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
she doesn't want to touch it. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
If I can get her over this fear of touching food, | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
maybe miracles could happen. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
Michelle's chopping again. Oh, I can't look, I can't look! | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
Oh, watch those fingers, please watch those... Argghh! | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
OK, stop, stop, stop. OK. Can I just... | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
That was great. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:08 | |
I think fingers are overrated, personally. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
Handy for picking your nose, though. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:11 | |
After a bit of grating and a bit of blending, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
the sauce is cooking away, and Michelle still has all her fingers. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
Stop there. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:18 | |
Next up is the rice. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
But this isn't any normal rice, this is pilau rice, | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
so called because it's what they stuff pillows with. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Probably, no. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:27 | |
It's an Indian speciality, which makes me think it's probably time | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
for a Bollywood dance beak. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
BOLLYWOOD MUSIC PLAYS | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
Are they Morris dancing? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
MORRIS DANCE MUSIC PLAYS | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
Oh, no, it's the well-known Liverpudlian tea-towel dance. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
Yeah, that's enough applause, time for the pudding. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
Michelle has to make poached pears with a chocolate souffle. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
For this she'll have to get a saucepan, put in sugar, | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
spice and lemon, pour in some water. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Heat. Peel some pears. Stick 'em in the pan. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
Simmer, dish up the pears. Heat the syrup up. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
Paint some gold leaf onto the pears. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
Pour over the syrup, add the chocolate souffle, | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
add some creme fraiche, whoo-hoo! | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
These pears need spices. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:09 | |
There's Posh, there's Scary, there's Baby, | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
oh, and we saw wee Ginger already. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
A light crushing and they're popped into the syrup | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
for poaching the pears. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:18 | |
Chuck 'em in the saucepan. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:19 | |
The pears need peeled first, | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
and that means a sharp thing in Michelle's hand again! | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
And you can do it as slow as you like. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:25 | |
Excellent, you're doing brilliantly there. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
There's Zeta, just checking Mum's still got all four fingers. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
Watch out, cos this is very hot. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
So that's our sugar syrup. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
Now you can very gently put the pears into the syrup. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
So, with the pears on, next it's souffle time, | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
and this is going to be a chocolate souffle. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
While Zeta melts the chocolate, | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
Stefan is cracking up at Michelle's technique. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
Carefully! It's a gently-gently. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
You've lost it! You've lost it, all right. That'll do. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
With love! | 0:12:55 | 0:12:56 | |
Michelle clearly believes in tough love with this souffle. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
I can see the love. No, with love! | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Against all odds, it ends up in the dishes and ready for the oven. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
Now it's time for Stefan to get all arty with us. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
Ooooh! | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
Now this is the secret ingredient. This is pure gold. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
# Gold... # | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
It's so thin, that if you sneeze on it, it will float away | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
and it's impossible to get hold of it. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:19 | |
Well, Michelle will be great with that! Ha! | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
You just want a tiny little sliver like that. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
And if you touch it on, it'll stick to it. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
And Michelle gets the gold! | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
OK, out with the souffles and onto the plate. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
Drop it on the plate there. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:36 | |
Just a little bit at a time. OK, stop there. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
Poached pears with gold leaf, and a delicious souffle. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
Gorgeous. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
That's looking great, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:45 | |
but Michelle shouldn't count her chickens just yet, | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
as she's still got to cook them. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:49 | |
It will spit a bit, so you do need to be careful. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
The last thing to do is plate up the main course. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
And that is the "chick-end"... Who writes these lines?! | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
That's it. I've done everything I can today. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
It's over to Michelle, and she needs to pull this off, | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
not just for herself, not just for Zeta, but for me! | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
My reputation is at stake here, so if she crashes and burns, | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
I crash and burn with her. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Michelle's family are getting stuck into her cooking, | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
and, for the first time, everyone loves it. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
Beautiful. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
But is it going to get the "Yumms-up" tomorrow | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
from our Disaster Chef judges? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
Just 24 hours ago, Zeta's mum, Michelle, | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
accepted the Disaster Chef challenge. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
It's completely solid | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
She's been feeding Zeta her own unique brand of burning, | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
I mean cooking, for years. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
Chucking it all in. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
But to get one over on dad John, | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
and to have Zeta prefer her cooking, she wants to improve. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
So Disaster Chef master Stefan Gates has spent the last day | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
trying to turn Michelle's cooking around. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
Urgh! OK, stop, stop, stop. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
Today, she's going to be cooking in this big posh house. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
Well, its kitchen, to be more precise. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
She's hoping her two-course meal will be voted Yumm instead of Yuck, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
by our three mystery judges. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:07 | |
What can possibly go wrong? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Right. This is it! | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
In just a few minutes, Michelle will be trying | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
to put everything I taught her into practice, | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
by cooking in this professional kitchen | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
for three very distinguished judges. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
The question is, have I done enough to help her impress them, and Zeta? | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
Well, I don't know. Let's go and find out. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
Michelle and Zeta have arrived. I'm terrified already. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
Wow, this place is huge. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
It looks like Buckingham Palace. I can't believe the size of it. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
And when one is in a posh kitchen, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:37 | |
one must use these to turn all of that, into all of this, innit. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:42 | |
One must also dress poshly and that, | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
so a big posh chef's outfit for Michelle, | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
and a posh waitress outfit for Zeta. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Wow. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:49 | |
Mum, you look ridiculous, really funny! | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
You look gorgeous. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:56 | |
No time for chat. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:57 | |
Michelle has three hours | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
and needs to start prepping the marinade for the chicken. Go. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
Three, two, one, get cooking! | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
One thing I know | 0:16:18 | 0:16:19 | |
is that you shouldn't use a grater when flustered. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
Oh, watch the fingers! | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
Mum, I think you need to calm down and take a deep breath. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
I can't. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
With the adrenaline pumping, | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Michelle is going great guns with the marinade. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
Stick to the recipe and everything will work beautifully, OK? | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
Thank you. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:40 | |
Going to leave you to it, so you can be stressed on your own. Come on. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
Yes, Stefan, it's time to let Michelle spread her wings | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
on the masala sauce. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:48 | |
Michelle seems to be over her nerves and hasn't lost any fingers... | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
Yet! | 0:16:53 | 0:16:54 | |
That's the masala sauce on, but what it really needs is water, | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
so it looks like this. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:01 | |
There's the water, but where's it going? | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
It needs to go in the sauce, Michelle. In the sauce! | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
Oh, no! | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
Stefan's back and he's brought good news. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
I think it's time to reveal who your judges are today. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
Yes, the people who are deciding Michelle's fate have arrived. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
Judge One... | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
is only bloomin' Beth Tweddle, | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
Britain's most successful ever gymnast and Dancing On Ice winner. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
Throughout my career I've been obviously judged for my gymnastics, | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
with skating, so I know exactly how she'll be feeling, very nervous, | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
but, at the end of the day, if you enter a competition, | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
you are putting yourself up for that criticism. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
Oh, gosh! | 0:17:38 | 0:17:39 | |
Judge Two... | 0:17:41 | 0:17:42 | |
is top Indian chef and curry king Sudha Saha. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
Not to put you under pressure when you're cooking a curry, Michelle(!) | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
Indian food cooking is very, very hard, | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
because someone has to understand the spice well, | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
and there's so many spices going on around, | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
and if someone doesn't understand the spice, | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
it's not going to come right, so it's very, very technical. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
Oh. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
Judge three... | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
is someone who knows first-hand just how band your cooking can be. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
It's none other than your bezzy, Lynn Waites. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
Let's hope she won't be waiting too long for your food today. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
Even though Michelle's my friend, and we've been friends for ten years, | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
today, if it's yucky, it's yucky! | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
Oh, she'll eat anything! | 0:18:21 | 0:18:22 | |
Mind you, she does like Indian curry. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
The judges are each going to have a vote of a Yumm or Yuck | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
on Michelle's cooking. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:31 | |
It's best of three, so she has to get two out of three Yumms to pass. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
But if she gets two or more Yucks, it's back to the chopping board. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
Less than two hours to go. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
The masala sauce is cooking away, but Michelle needs to be | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
delicately crushing some spices for the pear pudding. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
Delicately! | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
Oh, actually, I don't know whether I was supposed to crush them. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
Crushing is right. Smashing them to smithereens is not. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
The bits should be big enough to be fished out later. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Too late! | 0:19:01 | 0:19:02 | |
Pudding's on the go, | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
now Michelle needs to check her main course sauce. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
Do you think the lack of water might affect it at all? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
There's a surprise, it's all drying up. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
Quick, add some yoghurt to it. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
No, don't add some yoghurt to it, add some... Let me think. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
What would make it more watery? It's a tough one. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
Mmm. Sounds a bit like an otter, comes out of a tap. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
Yeah? What do you think? Yeah? Just have a think, Michelle. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
Water! Bingo! | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
Bit worried about the Indian connoisseur. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:35 | |
I'm getting a bit stressed about this sauce. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
It doesn't look, kind of, quite the same as yesterday. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
Now the pressure is on, and Michelle is running around | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
like a headless chicken, trying to cook a headless chicken! | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
OK, let's get cooking. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Where do we start, chicken or pears, chicken or pears? | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
Yeah, go for the chicken, Michelle. No, no, read the recipe again. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
Yeah, chicken again. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:55 | |
Maybe pears, yeah, the pears. No, back to the chicken. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
Good idea. Swap things round. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
Put the chicken in, no, change your mind, back to the pears again. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
Good idea, Michelle. Read the recipe again. That's excellent. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
Chicken or pears, chicken or pears. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
As the judges enter the poshest dining room in the world ever, | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
Michelle must get cracking on the pudding, now! | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
That's the pears on, but the main course still isn't ready. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
Hi, Mum. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:22 | |
How's it going? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
Not, not good. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:24 | |
Erm, the sauce, I don't know if I've put...enough water in. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:30 | |
The almonds. Forgot the almonds. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
Ewww. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
Want to see panic close up? This is it! | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
Ahh! | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
I think the one we made yesterday looked a bit better. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
That's what we like, Zeta, words of encouragement. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
I'm sorry, Mum, but time's up | 0:20:45 | 0:20:46 | |
and you need to get everything on the plate. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
Time's up, rice is down, | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
and looking away doesn't mean it isn't happening, Stefan. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
So, 24 hours after she failed to make French toast, | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
Michelle's had to make chicken tikka masala | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
with pilau rice. It looks not bad, to me. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
Oh, this looks nice. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
And now it's about to be eaten by an Olympic gymnast, | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Michelle's best mate, and a top Indian chef. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
That's what I call a tough crowd. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
OK, shall we try? | 0:21:13 | 0:21:14 | |
Yeah, let's try. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
Go for it. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
The rice is cooked nice as well. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
The rice is lovely, isn't it? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Yep. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
Wow. It's looking good so far. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
I'd like more sauce. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
Yeah, I was thinking that. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
The chicken when you've got the sauce on it is fine, | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
but when it's not got the sauce, it's a little bit dry. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
But for Sudha, it's quality not quantity. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Sauce cooking is fine, because I'm very impressed with the sauce | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
because the one thing I'm impressed by is that the spices are cooked. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
And in the kitchen, Zeta agrees. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
I think it's definitely better than the chicken she usually cooks. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
The thing that makes the chicken really nice is the sauce, | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
so I can tell that she's done well on the sauce. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
So the most important person in the house approves. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
But what does the one professional on the panel think? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
So what do you reckon, would this, | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
stand up to restaurant standard, or...? | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
I would not... | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
It's good, but not restaurant quality. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
Michelle hasn't got time to think about it now. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
It's onto the souffle mix for the pudding. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
I think the chocolate and egg whites should be more mixed than that. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
Never mind. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:29 | |
Now what's this sort of fur all over them? | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
That was her Angry Spice over-crushing earlier. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
Shall I scrape it off? | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
What do you reckon? | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
Just wash the crunchy bits off! | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
Who's looking forward to dessert? | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
Oh, I can't wait. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:45 | |
I'm not too sure about it, I'm a little bit worried about this one. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
OK, that's the syrup poured, and there's the gold. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
# Gold... # | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
Oh, not again! | 0:22:53 | 0:22:54 | |
Time to get the souffles on the plate and go. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
Looks fantastic. What do you reckon, Zeta? | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
Very good. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
For pudding, Michelle had to make poached pears with gold leaf | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
and a chocolate souffle. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
Mmm, the souffle's a little bit sunk. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Oh, thank you, that looks amazing. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
-You're welcome. -Thank you. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
At last, all the plates are out. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Little bit dry. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:18 | |
It's not to my liking. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
It's not looking like a perfect ten from Beth. Oh, dear! | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
And Sudha isn't happy either. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
For me, the pear is not done right, like a raw one, | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
so it needs some more time to cook. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
Pear's a bit hard, and it's very dry, the souffle, isn't it? | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
Yeah. Souffle's not right either. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:41 | |
I always say I'd rather not have food that's hard and dry. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
Would you pay for that in a restaurant? | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
Me, no. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:50 | |
I wouldn't either, in a restaurant. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
Not an entirely sweet reception for the pudding from the judges, | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
but what does the most important critic think? | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
You shouldn't need to use a knife for this. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
Oh! | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
I think she could have maybe cooked it for a bit longer, | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
so it would have been a poached pear instead of like a raw pear. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
You know what, having a little bit of gold scattered on something, | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
maybe that's enough to distract people | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
from the fact that it's not perfectly good. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
I like your tactics, Stefan! | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
It didn't really look like a leaf. Is it meant to? | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
No, it's not supposed to look like a leaf, | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
it's made from gold leaf, Beth. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
But too late. Time for the verdict! | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
Less than 24 hours ago, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:35 | |
Zeta's Disaster Chef mum Michelle's idea of cooking | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
was slapping it all on a pan and hoping for the best. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
But after a lesson yesterday | 0:24:42 | 0:24:43 | |
from our resident food know-it-all Stefan, | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
today she attempted a two-course meal to restaurant standard | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
for our panel of three judges. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
Olympic somersaulter and celebrity skater Beth Tweddle, | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
top Indian chef Sudha Saha, | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
and, finally, bezzy mate Lynn Waites. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
Can Michelle get the two out of three Yumms she needs to pass? | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
The main course went down well, but the pudding was a disaster. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
So are these judges going to give her Yumm or Yuck for her efforts? | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
Having your cooking judged by a chef, a celeb and your best friend | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
is guaranteed to give you the heebie-jeebies, | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
so some of Michelle's family and friends | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
have turned up for moral support. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
OK, this is the moment of truth. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
Judge number one. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
First to judge is Michelle's best mate, Lynn Waites. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
She waited a while for her dishes today, | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
but will food mean more than friendship? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
Your verdict, please. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Michelle, I know I'm your best friend, | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
but I'm here to tell you the truth, and from me, it's a... | 0:25:41 | 0:25:46 | |
Yes! Great result, there. But was she just being kind? | 0:25:46 | 0:25:51 | |
Next up is the expert. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:52 | |
Sudha. Your verdict, please. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
Indian chef Sudha didn't seem too enamoured | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
with the curry or the pudding, | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
so is his vote going to spice things up? | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
Well, it's a very good attempt. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
I've been surprised the spices are cooked right in the sauce. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
But...it's not a restaurant standard. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:12 | |
For me... | 0:26:12 | 0:26:13 | |
Oh, dear. It was all going so well, and now it's even Stephens, | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
everything to play for. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
Beth. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:25 | |
Last, it's Dancing on Ice winner and Olympic medallist Beth Tweddle, | 0:26:26 | 0:26:30 | |
who was less than impressed with the pudding. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
She won bronze in 2012, but with the crucial deciding vote, | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
is she going to give Michelle a gold today? | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
Your verdict, please. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
Michelle, I absolutely loved your main course, | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
but I hated your dessert. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
So, from me, it is... | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
It's gold for Michelle! | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
Amazingly, she's passed by the skin of her teeth. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
Do teeth have skin? Never mind. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
Very good. | 0:26:58 | 0:26:59 | |
She's now the queen of the kitchen, | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
and like every queen, she needs a crown! | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
Brilliant, you have been amazing! | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Now she realises you've got to follow recipes and the techniques | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
and do it by the book, rather than throw it all in yourself, | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
and hopefully it'll be better for us. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
Considering, she doesn't even cook at home, | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
I think the kids will now get some edible meals out of it. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
I think it's been a really good task for her, | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
as I only ever get chicken nuggets and chips | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
every time I go to her house, | 0:27:31 | 0:27:32 | |
but I think she's done fantastic. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
She hasn't got any background of cooking, | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
and she has done quite a good job. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
Hopefully, from now on, I can cook food that my family will enjoy. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:44 | |
What do you think, Zeta? | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
-I think you'll be able to. -Good! | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
I'd just like say... | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
Yeah! | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
She did it! | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
I can't believe it! | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
Or maybe I can, I began to see confidence oozing out of her | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
and the fear receding. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:01 | |
And that's what you need - a little bit of confidence. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
