.

# I can cook!

-# I can cook! #

-With you!

Hello. Lovely to see you.

I've just got everything ready to go on a journey,

and I hope you're going to come with me

-and meet some new friends.

-RINGING

-A-ha, there you go.

-'Hello!'

'I'd like a princess party at the castle. I love chicken.'

Wow, that sounds amazing!

-'Katy, can you cook with me, please?'

-Yes, I can.

And you can cook with me too.

Oh, I hope I get to dress up as a princess.

That would be really fun!

Let's get everything packed up and put in the van

and then we'll get going.

# 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. #

Well, here I am at the castle where I've been invited by Anya.

There she is with her friends, playing a game.

-Hi, Anya!

-Hi, Katy!

-Anya, are these all of your friends?

-Yeah.

-Great, what's your name?

-Kai.

-And what's your name?

-Mia.

-Charlie.

It is so good to meet all of you.

Anya, I am so excited.

Are we actually going to dress up as princes and princesses?

-Yes. We're also going to have a banquet.

-I don't believe it!

I've got a brilliant recipe to cook. Come on, I'll show you. Follow me!

ALL CHEER

Welcome to my outdoor kitchen, everybody.

Who is excited

-about doing some cooking?

-ALL: Me!

-I can't wait. Do you want to know what we're cooking?

-ALL: Yeah!

I'll tell you. Today's recipe is...

scrunchy, crunchy chicken!

-ALL: Yum!

-That looks yummy!

It looks great, doesn't it?

Before we start, we've got to do something important.

-Do you know what it is?

-ALL: Wash our hands!

Got it! We've all got to wash our hands, team! 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! #

Right, let's get started.

To make our scrunchy, crunchy chicken...

That's really hard to say. Can you say that really quickly?

ALL: Scrunchy, crunchy chicken.

I bet you can't say it fast. Scrunchy, crunchy chicken!

ALL JABBER AND LAUGH

It sounds like you're going like this - "Chicka-chicka-chicka!"

To make our scrunchy, crunchy chicken, we need chicken, of course!

We've got some lovely chicken that's been cooked for us.

-I love chicken.

-It's delicious.

Let's put this chicken into our dish.

The next thing we need is some cooked bacon.

We need to snip this bacon up. But remember, be safe with scissors.

-Everybody knows you point them down towards your...

-ALL: Toes!

Let's see you point your scissors towards your toes. OK, there we go.

-Remember to point them down towards your toes.

-Snip, snip.

Snip, snip, snippety-snip. Make them into different shapes as well.

I'll cut this one into a square. A little square.

-What shapes have you got?

-A diamond.

-Yeah, it looks like a kite.

-What shapes have you got, Kai?

-That looks like a pencil.

Let's scoop up the bacon and put it in with our chicken.

Then give your hands a good wipe.

Next, we've got a type of mushroom called a button mushroom.

Imagine having mushrooms for buttons!

That would be funny, wouldn't it?

We're going to use our fingers to crumble them up.

ALL: Squash, squash, squash.

Squash, squash, squash.

Oh, team, what do you think a mushroom face would look like?

Can you pretend to be a mushroom?

Put your hands above your head and you go...

ALL GIGGLE

Use your fingers to mix the mushrooms

with the bacon and the chicken.

-OK, who's ready for the next part?

-ALL: Yes!

Just do this with your hands to get the little bits of mushroom off.

The next ingredient is some green beans.

Does anyone know how to do the green bean face?

Put your arms up like this - really, really tall -

and you go like this.

Look at Charlie when he does it! Look!

ALL GIGGLE

We're going to play the pinch and snap game. Pinch...

and snap!

Pinch, snap.

You have got to try and do it as quickly as you can.

Pinch and snap, pinch and snap.

There you go, another one.

Last one, pinch and snap!

Great. What ingredient do we need next

in our scrunchy, crunchy chicken?

Let us see if you can guess what it could be.

Well, we've got...

an orange, some cream, and a boat.

A boat! What would you use for our scrunchy, crunchy chicken?

The special ingredient is white.

Well, an orange is orange, isn't it?

It can't be that one. We'll take that one away.

Here's another clue.

The special ingredient is white

and it comes from cows.

A boat doesn't come from cows, does it?

No! We'll take that one away too. It would be a bit funny

having a boat in a recipe! That leaves us with cream.

We'll need some lovely cream

for our scrunchy, crunchy chicken. I went to find some.

I've come to Wroughton in Wiltshire to find out how cream is made.

Cream comes from milk and these cows are being milked right now.

Ready, Daisy?

SHE LAUGHS

There we go.

The milk goes into this machine.

It's called a pasteuriser, and it heats the milk up

and makes it safe to use.

Next, the milk goes into another machine called a separator.

In here, the thinner skimmed milk is pushed to the outside

and the thicker cream stays in the middle.

The thick cream comes out this pipe.

Look, there it is! Can you see it?

After that, the cream is cooled down and it comes out right here.

Finally, we pour it into bottles like these

and it's ready to use in our scrunchy, crunchy chicken recipe.

Oh!

Ah. Delicious!

Making cream is so much fun. I loved it!

We've got our cream here, ready to use in our recipe.

And we're going to make a potion with it.

-Everyone say woo.

-ALL: Woo!

We have lots of ingredients we'll add to our cup of cream.

The first is a herb called tarragon that we've got in this bowl.

-Anya, what do you think?

-Minty.

It's got a strong smell. Add this into our cream.

There we go. The next thing we're going to add is some stock powder,

which is this ingredient we've got here.

-Oh! It's very strong.

-It smells onion-y.

Yes, it's because the stock powder has onions in it.

That's going to add loads of flavour to this.

Let's sprinkle that into our creamy potion.

-Mine's in there.

-And the final ingredient we need to add is...

ALL: Flour.

So let's sprinkle that in too. Oh, look at that. Lovely.

-So we mix it now?

-Absolutely. We've got to mix it with our spoons.

We're going to give it a good stir.

-It looks like banana milkshake.

-Banana milkshake?

-Yeah!

I don't think it's going to taste like a banana milkshake!

Let's pour it into our dish together.

ALL: 1, 2, 3...

Splash!

-Woo!

-Good job, everybody.

The last thing we need is some filo pastry.

We'll bring one piece of filo pastry at a time onto our mat.

We have eight pieces,

so we need to do four at the top and four at the bottom, all in a line.

ALL: One, two, three, four

-five, six, seven, eight.

-Great.

-Who likes painting?

-ALL: Me!

I love it. We're going to paint using this melted butter.

So take your brush and dip it in the butter and go,

swirly-whirly.

-Swish-swosh, swish-swosh.

-ALL: Swish-swosh.

Kai, why do we paint it with butter?

Because then it goes all soft.

It's going to go shiny, a bit like butter, actually.

There you go. Oooh, we're getting buttery fingers.

That's it. And once they've all been painted, you can put your brush

and butter to the side - we're going to do some scrunching.

We're going to scrunch each of these filo pastry squares

into scrunchy little balls. Can everyone do this?

-SHE SUCKS

-Yep.

That is what we'll do with our pastry squares. Watch.

We put two fingers at the side,

like this, scrunch it together like that.

We get our fingers on the other side

and scrunch them together, so they all suck up into the middle.

SHE SUCKS

That's it, you're doing it! You're doing it, everyone, look.

It looks really good. Well done.

-I've finished mine, I have.

-Put any extra pastry on top.

You've done it. You've put all the ingredients together

for your scrunchy, crunchy chicken all by yourself.

-Well done.

-ALL: Yay!

Now I'll put them in the oven for you.

But remember, 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... #

-Stirring.

-Snipping.

-Snapping.

-Brushing.

# Clearing any mess and putting things away

# Is always fun to do at the end of the day. #

BELL CHIMES

I'm so excited. Our scrunchy, crunchy chicken dishes are cooked.

-Shall we have a look?

-ALL: Yes!

Let's see how they've changed.

-Why don't we have a look at yours, Charlie?

-It's gone all crunchy.

We said it would go crunchy. It looks great.

I bet it tastes good. What's happened to yours, Mia?

-What colour has it gone?

-Brown and yellow.

-Does it smell good?

-It smells like pizza.

-Let's smell.

Oh, it does smell a bit like pizza.

Why don't we put the lids back on our chicken dishes

and save them for later on?

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

now let's have a party with everyone.

ALL: Yeah!

Come on, you can come with us. Follow me, everyone.

Here we are at the castle and we're all ready for our banquet.

We've got our lovely food to share. Come on, let's go.

-Would you like some of my food, Mum?

-I'd love some.

Mmm! That's lovely and crispy.

It looks delicious. How did the pastry change?

It's gone shiny and crunchy.

-It tastes good.

-This pie is lovely.

Anya, what was your favourite part of cooking?

-The mushroom face.

-The mushroom face?

-Shall we show everyone the mushroom face?

-Yes.

This is the face. Put your arms on your head

and you go like this...

-KATY LAUGHS

-Look at your mum, Anya.

ALL LAUGH

So what can you do, everyone?

ALL: I can cook...

-With me and...

-ALL: With you.

And if you want to make this delicious recipe,

you can find it on our website.

Now, everyone, we're dressed up

as princes and princesses,

so shall we go on a visit to the Royal Castle?

ALL: Yeah!

Come on. Maybe there's a dragon.

Let's have a look. Come on.
