-Katy,

I love walking my dogs along the river.

Can you help me make something? I love fish.

Definitely, that will be so much fun.

Can you cook with me, please?

I certainly can. Great and you can cook with me too.

I love dogs, so this will be fantastic.

I need to get all of this into the van and then we can get going.

HORN BEEPS

# Oh, for the 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. #

We're down by the river where I've been invited by Ami.

There she is with all of her family and friends and her lovely doggies.

-Hello, everyone.

-Hello.

-Hi, Ami.

Great to meet all of you. What's your name?

-Otti.

-Summer.

-Leonora.

-Fantastic to meet all of you.

Ami, what are we doing today?

We'll be cooking some food for when we give our dogs a walk.

I've got the perfect thing to cook with all of you. Come on, follow me.

CHEERING

Welcome to my outdoor kitchen.

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

-ALL: Me.

-Today's recipe is delicious. It is...haddock puff.

-ALL: Mmm!

-Doesn't that look good, girls?

-ALL: Yes.

Before we make it we've got to do something important. What is it?

ALL: Wash our hands.

That's right, 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. #

Let's get started.

The first thing we need for our haddock puff is haddock.

-Does anyone know what haddock is?

-Fish.

-Yes, it's a fish.

Can anyone do a fish face?

How about this one?

That's a good one.

The first thing we need to do is snip our haddock up.

Can you snip, snip, snip with us? Like this.

Snip, snip, snip.

ALL: Snip, snip, snip, snip.

We're going to use our scissors, but remember be safe with scissors.

Everyone knows you point them down towards your...

-ALL: Toes.

-That's right.

We need to get our scissors and point them down

towards our toes and let's get snipping.

-Ooh, the fish feels really funny.

-I know.

-What does it feel like?

It feels like it's squishy.

That's it and when you've finished snipping

we'll put our haddock pieces into a bowl - brilliant.

Then give your fishy hands a little wipe.

The next ingredient we need is creme fraiche.

Does anyone know what creme fraiche is?

Cream.

That's right, Leanora, it's a type of cream. So we need

a tablespoon of it, so let's take one big tablespoon

and then we're going to put it into our bowl.

The next thing we need to do is bring out our pinchy parrots.

Get your thumb and put it like that,

then put your two fingers on top and go...

SQUAWK LIKE PARROTS

And take a pinch of pepper...

and sprinkle it in.

What ingredient do we need next in this recipe?

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

CHUCKLES

We have some strawberries, some cow's milk and some watercress.

What would you choose for our haddock puff?

The first clue is that the special ingredient comes from a plant.

Well, it can't be cow's milk, can it? Because that comes from a cow.

Moo.

We'll take that one away.

OK, another clue is that the special ingredient is a vegetable.

Ah, well, strawberries are a fruit.

So it can't be that one. Which leaves us with watercress.

We're going to need some watercress for our haddock puff.

Earlier, I went to find some.

TOOT TOOT

TOOT TOOT

I've come to a farm in Dorset

to find out how watercress is grown and collected.

Now, watercress doesn't grow from soil

like you'd grow things in your garden.

It grows in gravel beds which are full of water. Like this one here.

As the seeds grow, more and more water is added to the gravel beds

to make the watercress grow bigger and bigger.

When the watercress has grown big enough,

this huge machine is used to collect it all up.

Now, this watercress is going to be bagged up and taken to the shops.

I'm going to put some in my bag

so that we can use it in our haddock puff.

There we go. Fantastic.

Let's get back to the kitchen.

Now we've got our fresh watercress, we'll use it in our recipe.

The first thing to do

is take the thick stalks off of the watercress.

We're going to play the pinch and pull game.

ALL: We go pinch and pull.

-Pinch and pull. Pinch and pull. Pinch and pull.

-Hmm.

Now, when you've got your leaves in the bowl with your fish,

we're going to give everything a really good mix.

OK, stop mixing, everyone. Now, this is the messy part.

Who wants to get messy?

ALL: Me!

OK. And now we are going to use some of this.

It's puff pastry.

Now, before we use the pastry, we need to sprinkle some flour

all over our mat.

We have to make it snow.

Three, two, one, go.

And stop! Fantastic. Put your sprinklers to the side.

Bring back your puff pastry and put it in the middle of your mat.

Because next we're going to do some rolling. Ready? Roll up, roll down,

to the side, to the side. And we roll all around.

-Oh-ho-ho, are you a bit dizzy?

-Yeah.

-OK, take the rolling pin.

Put it on top of our puff pastry.

We need to get out our duck feet fingers.

Put your hands in front of you and spread them as wide as you can. OK.

Keep them wide and put them onto your rolling pin

and use the duck feet fingers to roll our pastry out.

-That's it.

-Like this?

-Yep. Roly-poly.

Roly-poly, slowly-moly.

And then put your rolling pin to the side.

Pick it up and turn it. There we go.

Now, you need to keep rolling it

until it's a rectangle about this size.

Perfect. And now we need to add the fish mixture onto the puff pastry.

So, we scoop it out and we make a big fish mountain.

That's it, Leonora, make sure it's at the bottom

and leave a little gap underneath.

We've got a cup, here, with some water.

We're going to pour it into our bowl that had our fish mixture in it.

Go. And...stop.

Now take your pastry brush and you're going to mix

all of the rest of the fish mixture that's in there.

And we're going to paint the mixture

around the edge of the pastry rectangle, a bit like a photo frame.

Now we're going to fold the top half towards the bottom,

like we're putting the fish mixture to bed.

-Say night-night.

-Night-night.

-Night-night.

Then next, I want you to put your thumb up in front of you and go...

ALL: Yes!

We're going to use our yeah-thumb

to walk it around the edge of our pastry.

-Squish.

-Squash, squish. We have to walk all the way around.

Squish, squash, squish, squash.

And now we're going to trim the edges of our pastry

and we are going to use a knife to do this.

Knives can be very sharp so you do have to be quite careful

but we'll use a table knife,

which is the kind of knife that you use at home.

I'll show you how. We put our hand on top of the pastry

and we cut a line down the side like this.

And then you can turn it around very carefully

and cut down like that, in a straight line.

We have some finishing touches.

We need to make a slit in the top with our knife. Like this.

When that haddock puff cooks in the oven,

it's going to get very hot inside.

The slit let's all be steam come out. A bit like a train.

ALL: Choo-choo. Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, choo-choo.

And the next thing we need to do is a little bit of brushing again.

It's going to make it really lovely and shiny.

The last thing we need to do is pick it up very carefully

and put it onto your tray.

And that is it. You've done it.

You've put all the ingredients together for haddock puff

-all by yourself.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Now let's put them all in the oven.

Brilliant.

Remember ovens are hot so don't go near.

-You need to ask a grown-up to help you here.

-So you're going to help?

So I'm going to help. So why don't you pass me them one by one?

# 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...

-Nipping.

-Mixing.

-Rolling.

-Brushing.

# Clearing any mess

# And putting things away

# Is always fun to do

# At the end of the day. #

PING

And here they are. All ready to eat.

You've made your very own haddock puff.

Let's have a look at yours, Leonora.

Wow, that looks fantastic.

Ami, let's have a look at your one.

That looks yummy.

That is delicious and, look, I can see the fish inside.

Right, let's put the lids on top.

We'll save that for later on. We've travelled to you,

we've cooked and had fun. Now let's have a party with everyone.

ALL: Yay!

Come on, you can come too.

Well, here we are back down by the river.

We're ready to have a lovely picnic

before we go and take the dogs for a walk.

-Who is hungry?

-ALL: Me!

Brilliant. We've haddock puff to share

-so who'd like some puff?

-That's mine.

Ooh, that is absolutely delicious, isn't it, everyone?

Amelie's mum and dad, what do you think of her cooking?

-Beautiful.

-Lovely.

-Summer, what's happened to the pastry?

-It's just gone hard.

-So, Otti, what's been the best part of your day?

-Er...eating.

-Me, too.

-Mine's yummiest.

-No, mine is.

-They're both the same yummy.

So, everybody, what can you do?

ALL: I can cook! With me and with you.

And you can make today's delicious recipe too

if you go to our website...

Hey, shall we clear this up later and go for a walk?

-Yes!

-Brilliant, everyone, let's go!

Woo-hoo!
