With you!

Hello! Oh, great to see you.

I'm getting everything ready to go on a journey.

I hope that you'll come with me and make some new friends.

-BELL RINGS

-Ah-ha!

Hi, Katy. I love bike rides and my favourite fruit is blackcurrants.

-Oh, that's exciting!

-Katy, can you cook with me, please?

Certainly can, Sam. And I love cycling on my bike.

And you can cook with me, too. So, let's pack up and go.

# Off on a journey and I'm coming to you

# It's going to be busy and there's lots to do

# Get ready to help join in and have fun

# Let's cook a feast for everyone! #

Here we are at the park. I've been invited by Sam.

There he is with all his friends.

-Hi, everyone!

-Hi!

Come on over.

It's great to see you all.

-So, Sam, are these all your friends?

-Yes.

-What are your names?

-Eddy.

-Megan.

-Ria.

Oh, it's great to meet you all.

Hey, Sam, what are we going to do today?

Make some food for our bike ride.

I have got such a delicious recipe to make with you all.

Why don't you get your bikes and I'll show you what it is.

Welcome to my outdoor kitchen.

-Do you want to know what we're going to cook today?

-Yes!

OK, today's recipe is baked blackcurrant rice!

Mmm!

Before we get started on the cooking,

There's something really important to do. Who knows what it is?

-Wash our hands!

-You've got it.

We've got to wash our hands, of course. So let's get going.

# Roll up your sleeves Give your hands a wash

# With slippy-dippy soap Splish splash splosh

# Have you done your hands? Washed and dried

# Sleeves rolled up

# Apron tied

# What can you do? I can cook! #

Well, let's get started.

The first things we need for our baked blackcurrant rice

is apple juice.

How do you normally get juice out of fruit?

You squeeze it!

Like this, you mean? Squeeeeeeze!

Yeah!

Well, come on, why don't you squeeze with me?

You can join in, too.

Squeeeeeeze!

And when you've done that, you get lovely juice,

like this apple juice we have here.

So, we need to measure it and to do that we need to work in pairs.

One person is going to be the pourer

and the other person is going to be the watcher.

Now, the pourer needs to pour the apple juice into this jug

that we have on our mats.

The watcher needs to make sure that the pourer fills the jug

to where the red arrows are.

Can you see that line?

That's really important.

And to be the watcher, you need to put on your watching goggles.

Have you got your watching goggles?

Let's have a look. Can you be a watcher, too?

Brilliant! So let's get pouring. Off you go.

Watch carefully. Tell her when to stop, Sam.

Stop!

Did you do it? Brilliant!

Take your jug of apple juice and pour it into your dish.

One, two, three, splash!

The next thing we need is some arborio rice.

This rice is great to use for risottos and rice puddings.

-Does it feel nice?

-Yeah.

Ooh! It feels all funny on my fingers.

-What sound does it make?

-Rain.

-Let's listen.

Oh, yes, it does sound like rain.

Now, we need to measure five dessert spoonfuls of arborio rice.

How many?

Five!

That's it! And to do that, we need to use our good friend, Mr Spoon!

Hello, Mr Spoon! "Hello, Katy. How are you?"

I'm very well, thanks. How are you?

"Fantastic. Can't wait to do some measuring!"

OK, Mr Spoon, let's measure five spoonfuls of our arborio rice.

Here's one. Pat it so it's nice and flat.

And then put it into your dish with the apple juice.

When you've done your fifth one, put the spoon back into your bowl.

Now what's going to happen is quite exciting.

The rice is going to soak up all of the apple juice, like this...

Phbhbhbhbrrrphhhh-pop!

Shall we all pretend to soak up the apple juice?

-You can join in with us. Ready?

-Phbhbhbhbrrrphhhh-pop!

Brilliant! So what do you think we need next in this recipe?

Well, let us see if you can guess what it could be.

So, we have got a potato,

an orange and some blackcurrants.

What would you choose for our baked blackcurrant rice?

Oh, I know! I'll give you some clues.

The special ingredient is a fruit.

Well, potatoes are a vegetable so we can take that one away.

OK, I'll give you another clue.

The special ingredient is a fruit that grows on bushes.

Well, oranges grow on trees, don't they?

So we can take that one away, too.

Which leaves us with blackcurrants.

We're going to need them for our baked blackcurrant rice.

And, earlier on, I went to find some.

I've come to Esher in Surrey to try to find some blackcurrants.

I've come to a farm where you can pick your own.

These are what we're looking for. They're quite small.

Shall we go and find some? Come on.

Wow! Look how many blackcurrants there are!

And you can see that they all grow in a bunch.

But you must be really careful when picking them

because you don't want to squash them.

The darker ones are perfect for us to pick.

But the red ones aren't quite ripe yet so we won't pick those.

This is great fun! There are hundreds of them.

There we go. I think that's enough for everyone.

Now I just need to give these a wash.

Then they'll be ready to use in our baked blackcurrant rice.

I loved picking all those blackcurrants!

I couldn't believe how many there were!

But I've got a question for you.

What colour do you think blackcurrant juice is?

Purple.

-Purple.

-Purple.

Why don't we squash one and have a look what colour the juice is?

Squish!

It's red.

Let's put those back in the bowl

and give our hands a quick wipe on our towels.

Now we need to add these blackcurrants into our dish.

So let's sprinkle them in.

When the blackcurrants go in the oven they're going to pop

because it gets so hot in the oven, they go like this...

Pop!

Can you do that?

Pop!

This time you can join in with the popping.

One, two, three...POP!

OK, the next thing we need to add is sugar.

We're going to use caster sugar.

This is a bit different to the kind of sugar you might be used to

using when you're at home.

That's because the granules - the little pieces - are much smaller.

We need to sprinkle this sugar into our dish.

We're going to do it by doing the sugar shuffle.

Shall I show you how to do the sugar shuffle?

Sugar shuffle, sugar shuffle, sugar shuffle, sugar shuffle!

Can you do the sugar shuffle? Ready? Go!

That's a good sugar shuffle, Eddy.

Now the next thing we're going to add is vanilla extract.

Shall we smell it before we add it?

-Eddy, what does it smell like?

-Ice cream.

Vanilla ice cream? Do you like vanilla ice cream?

I love it!

We need to measure half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

So hold your teaspoon over your dish and, very carefully, splash it in.

The last thing to do is give everything in our dish a good stir.

We have to give it a really slow stir because, otherwise,

everything will splash out of the dish.

So we need to press the slow button on our hands.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

Have you done the slow button?

And give it a nice slo-o-o-w stir.

Ooh, the colour's coming out of the blackcurrants in mine.

Yeah!

I can see the juices coming out because it's red all around.

-Is that the juice from the blackcurrants?

-Yeah.

-What's happening to the sugar?

-It's gone.

Has it dissolved?

Phhhhhhwopppppp!

OK, put your spoons down and you can pop your lid on.

Excellent! That is it, everyone! You did it!

You put all the ingredients together for your

baked blackcurrant rice and did it all by yourself.

Well done! Now let's put them in the oven.

Remember that ovens are hot so don't go near.

Ask a grown-up to help you here.

# Now we've cooked with you And had lots of fun

# Let's tidy up and think of All the things that we have done

-# There was...

-measuring,

-pouring

-Sprinkling,

-stirring

# Clearing any mess And putting things away

# Is always fun to do At the end of the day! #

And here they are, all ready to eat.

I'm so excited to see how they've changed! Are you?

Yeah!

Sam, let's have a look at yours. Ready, open!

Oh, wow! What colour has it gone?

-Red.

-Why's it gone red?

It's because the blackcurrant juice has squirted all over the rice.

Ria, are you ready for yours? Open sesame!

Ooh, what does it smell like?

-Fruit.

-Of course, because it's got the blackcurrants in it.

Shall we put the lids back on?

We've travelled to you, cooked and had fun.

Now let's have a party with everyone!

-Yeah!

-Yes, I can't wait! And you can come, too. Follow me.

-I'll carry the biscuits.

-Let's carry them together, Ria.

-Here we are at the park and we're all ready for a picnic!

-Yay!

I am so hungry and I've made some extra

baked blackcurrant rice for everyone else.

So, here you are, everyone. Dig in!

Oh, yes. Biscuits!

Mmm! Mm!

-That's really nice.

-Very delicious!

-Well done!

We could do this again but use a different juice.

What juices do you think we could use?

-Orange.

-Strawberry.

-Strawberry juice. What about peach juice?

Blueberry juice!

-Sam, are you happy with what you made today?

-Mm-hm!

Marks out of ten for your rice?

-20!

-20?!

-So what can you do, everyone?

-I can cook!

With me and with you!

If you want to make this delicious recipe,

it's on our website...

-Oh, how about we go for a bike ride?

-Yeah!

OK, follow me. Let's go and put our helmets on.
