I've been waiting for you. I'm ready to go on a journey.

I hope you're going to come with me.

-Ah-ha!

Hello, Katy! I really like courgettes.

Katy, can you cook with me, please?

I can, and you can cook with me too.

I've got the perfect recipe to cook with courgettes.

Let's pack everything up and get going.

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

# We're 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. #

I've been invited to the gymnastics hall by Wilson.

Let's go and find him.

-Hi, Wilson.

-Hi, Katy.

Wilson, are these your friends? What's your name?

-Jessica.

-Caitlin.

-Teagan.

-Wilson, what are we doing today?

Make something with courgettes.

I have such a good recipe with courgettes in it.

Do you want to cook it with me? Come on, let's do some cooking.

Welcome to my outdoor kitchen.

-Who wants to know what we're going to cook today?

-ALL: Me!

OK, I'll tell you. Today's recipe is the delicious green parcel pie.

-ALL: Ooh!

-Look at that!

Before we cook, we've got to do something.

-What do you think it is?

-ALL: Wash our hands.

We're going to wash our hands.

# 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! #

Let's get started.

The first thing we need to do to make green parcel pie is grating.

We're going to grate this, a courgette.

We're going to grate it using a grater, that's it.

The first thing to do is snap the courgette in half, like this.

We hold it out in front of us and after three,

we're all going to snap it like a big snapping crocodile.

-OK? One, two, three.

-Snap!

Look at that, it looks like a crocodile's mouth. Snap, snap, snap.

Now we need to put these pieces of courgette into the grater.

So we put it in the top part like that.

Then we put the lid on top of the grater

and then push down on the top and turn the handle.

Push down really hard, Teagan, on top.

Make sure that Wilson can move it, that's it.

-Good grating.

-He's a top grater.

Next use a fork and scrape out some of the bits in the middle.

Great grating, everyone. Next you need this.

An egg which I've already cracked for you in a bowl.

Does anybody know where an egg like this might come from?

-Chicken.

-That's right.

KATY CLUCKS

Chicken! Who can pretend to be a chicken?

THEY ALL CLUCK

Right, let's get whisking, then. Whizz, whizz.

Now it's going all mushy.

Why don't you whisk at home?

You can get your bowl and your fork and then whisk, whisk, whisk.

-Wilson, what's happened to your egg?

-It's turned yellow.

OK, the next ingredient is this.

This is a delicious soft cheese and it's got a secret ingredient in it.

Does anybody know what these green bits are?

-No.

-They're chives, which come from the same family as onions.

They've got a really strong taste.

This is cheese and onion flavour, which is delicious in our pie.

Let's take our soft cheese and our fork and scoop it into our egg.

Ready? Scoop!

Then we're going to use our fork to mix it all up.

Let's go, team.

When you've mixed everything up, we're going to add another cheese.

-Who can go cheeeeese?

-ALL: Cheeese!

The next cheese is an Italian hard cheese

which you might have had with pasta.

It's got a really strong taste and smell.

Let's sprinkle it in. Sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle.

To take a pinch of pepper, we need help from our pinchy parrot.

To make a pinchy parrot, you put your thumb down

and your fingers on top and do a big squawk.

KATY SQUAWKS

THEY ALL SQUAWK

My parrot's so hungry.

The parrots are hungry so they need a pinch of black pepper.

Sprinkle it into your bowl.

Next we add the grated courgette into the lovely eggy cheesy mixture.

Give everything a giant mix.

Get all the courgette mixed in with the cheesy mixture.

-Eggy cheese.

-Put your fork down.

Now we need to grease our loaf tins.

I wonder what we're going to need to do that.

What is next? Let us see if you can guess what it could be.

So we've got some milk, some rapeseed oil and some pasta.

What would you choose for green parcel pie?

I'll give you some clues and you can try and guess.

The special ingredient is a liquid.

Pasta is a solid, isn't it?

We can take that away. Here's another clue.

The special ingredient is a liquid and it comes from plants.

Milk comes from cows, doesn't it? We can take that one away.

That leaves us with rapeseed oil.

We are going to need this in our green parcel pie.

I drove to find some.

I've come to a farm in Hargrave in Northamptonshire

to find out how rapeseed oil is made.

When the plants bloom, the flowers are bright yellow.

When the sun cooks them, they turn into this lovely golden colour.

The rapeseed plants that look like this

are cut down by a big machine called a combine harvester.

There it is now. I think I'm going to have a go.

There we go, look.

This machine collects all these little black seeds.

That's where rapeseed oil comes from.

The rapeseeds are put in this big machine

which gently squeezes them until the oil comes out. Look.

Once the oil has been filtered,

it just needs to be poured into bottles.

Fantastic. I can't wait to use this in our green parcel pie.

Finding out how rapeseed oil is made is fascinating.

We've got it here. What does the colour remind you of?

-Shiny gold.

-Yes! Shiny gold.

We're going to use this rapeseed oil to grease our loaf tin.

Why don't we practise brushing, painting a picture like an artist.

Everyone go brush, brush, brush.

-ALL: Brush, brush, brush.

-Can you do some brushing with us?

Get your brush and go, "Brush, brush, brush."

Now dip the brush into the oil.

Then brush it all over your loaf tin.

We have to grease our tins so that our pie

won't stick when it goes in the oven.

Next we need to make the pie.

For that we're going to use pastry.

The type of pastry we're using is filo pastry.

I've covered the pastry in a damp towel so it doesn't dry out.

When the filo pastry goes in the oven,

it's going to go so lovely and crispy.

Let's take the damp towel away. Can you see it underneath?

It's so white and fluffy.

We're going to peel off one layer of filo pastry.

And we're going to hold it like this,

gently drop it into your loaf tin.

Make sure all the edges lie on the outside of the loaf tin, like that.

Then use our brush, dip it into the rapeseed oil

and dab it all over your pastry in the tin, like golden raindrops.

Get it right around the edges.

They're the bits that go extra crispy when it's in the oven.

Next we add another layer of filo pastry,

like you're making a little bed.

Then we need to dip and dab again.

Then we need to put the very last bit in quickly before it dries out.

We don't need to put any oil on this bit.

The next thing we need to do is scoop the eggy, cheesy mixture

into the pastry bed.

-Get a spoon. Have we got a spoon?

-ALL: Yes.

Take your bowl and scoop the mixture up and splosh it into its bed.

-Scoop and splosh.

-Splosh, splosh, sploshy.

Keep scooping until all your mixture is in the pastry bed.

Last but not least, we have to tuck the mixture in.

Very gently, take all the filo pastry from around the side

and fold it over the top.

Make it all spiky.

We just need to dab one last bit of oil on top

to make it extra crispy and shiny.

Shine, shine, shine.

And that is it.

You've put all these ingredients together for your green parcel pie

all by yourself.

Now it's time to put them in the oven to cook.

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

# Grating, whisking, mixing, brushing

# Clearing any mess and putting things away

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

Here they are, all cooked and ready to eat. Who's excited?

ALL: Me!

I'm so excited. Let's have a look at yours, Wilson.

KATY GASPS

-What's changed with yours?

-It's a different colour.

Caitlin, ready to look at yours? Let's see.

-Oh! What does it look like?

-It looks hard and crispy.

OK, team. Let's put the lids on top and we can save this for later on.

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

-Let's have a party with everyone.

-ALL: Yeah!

And you can come with us. Come on.

Here we are at the gymnastics hall

and we've got our food to share.

-Who's hungry?

-ALL: Me!

Let's go and show everyone what we've made.

Look what I've made, Mum. Green parcel pie.

What was your favourite bit?

-Mixing.

-Mixing.

-Have a taste.

-Mm!

Wow, that looks lovely. Shall we taste some?

That is scrummy.

Is it yummy? It's very tasty.

Delicious.

Can you taste what we put on there?

-What?

-Seed oil.

-Seed oil. Wow.

You know we've made a green parcel pie,

-what other vegetables could we use?

-Broccoli.

That would be a really good one. So what can you do?

-ALL: I can cook!

-With me and with you.

If you want to make a green parcel pie,

you can find the recipe on our website.

Now our food's gone down, shall we go to gym class?

-ALL: Yeah.

-Let's go, follow me.

We're going to do a star jump. Ready? Go.

One, two, three.
