-Hi, Katy.

-Hi, Piers, come in.

-Hello, Thomas. Hi, Elliot, come into my house.

-Hello.

-Hello.

Thanks for coming.

Do you want to know what lovely recipe we're cooking today?

ALL: Yes.

Today's mouth-watering recipe is going to be...

carrot and courgette muffins! Don't they look yummy?

ALL: Yes!

We're nearly ready to make a start

but there's one thing we've forgotten.

-Do you know what it is?

-ALL: Wash our hands!

# Roll up your sleeves Give your hands a wash

# with slippy dippy soap

# Splish splash splosh!

-# Have you done your hands

-Yes!

-# Washed and dried

-Yes!

-Sleeves rolled up

-Yes!

-Apron tied

-Yes!

# What can you do? I can cook! #

-Let's get cooking, everyone!

-Yes!

To make our muffin you'll need a courgette, like this.

Can everyone hold up their courgettes, nice and high.

That's it.

We'll start by pulling off the knobbly end.

Can we try and pull off the end?

-Did it.

-I did it.

Excellent.

Hold our courgettes like bicycle handlebars...

Can we go vroo-ooom?

GIGGLING

We'll snap it in half. Let's count then snap.

One, two, three, snap!

EXCITED CHATTER

-Does everyone want to do some grating?

-Yes!

We need to be in pairs. Piers, you work with me.

I'll put in one person's courgette at a time. Piers, you first.

Squash it in. Ready, boys?

Everyone start grating.

And go nice and slowly.

That's it.

Brilliant, girls, that's excellent.

-What do you think they look like, Piers?

-Little worms.

-Little worms?!

LAUGHTER

Yeuch!

Green little caterpillars!

GIGGLING

Tip the courgettes into a bowl and grate the rest of the courgettes.

What do you think we need next in our recipe?

Let's put you to the test. Today's ingredient for YOU to guess.

What do you think it's going to be?

Let me give you some clues.

This missing ingredient for our muffins is orange.

So could it be...

an orange torch?!

We don't want to eat one of those, do we?

The missing ingredient is pointy, so could it be...

a wizard's hat?!

We're not going to eat one of those!

Now, the missing ingredient is orange, pointy, and one more clue,

rabbits love them.

So could it be...

a carrot!

The missing ingredient is a carrot. Did you work it out?

We'll need a carrot in our carrot and courgette muffins.

Let's see how they grow in the I Can Cook Garden. Come on.

I can cook!

I can cook!

Welcome to the I Can Cook Garden.

We're going to be looking for carrots.

Do you think they'll be growing underneath the ground or...

on a bush...

or in the greenhouse?

-ALL: Underneath the ground.

-You're right. Shall we go look?

-Yes!

-Can you see the carrots?

-Yeah!

The tops of the carrots grow out of the ground and the orangey part,

which is the bit we eat, is growing down in the soil.

If we can't see the carrot, how do we know if they're ready to eat?

When they're all bushy?

When they're bushy and have a fluffy hairstyle like these.

We're going to loosen up the ground and then pull the carrots out.

They're covered in mud so I'll give them a shake.

My goodness, look at that tiny baby one!

I'll eat that all in one go!

Now we've got our carrots, let's get back to the kitchen.

We've washed our hands and the carrots.

We're back in the kitchen and ready to carry on cooking.

-Has everyone got their carrot?

-Yes!

Show me your carrot. Ha, ha!

-Remember what we did with the courgette?

-Yes.

We'll do the same thing but with a carrot.

We'll hold our carrot like handlebars on a bicycle.

And give it a snap. Snap!

GIGGLING This is it!

I did it before everybody else!

I can see the root.

Piers, come over here and work with me.

We'll put one piece of carrot in first. Piers, put yours in.

It's a weeny carrot.

Only a little bit's in...

-I'm tiny.

-You might want to put a little bit more in, Elliot.

If there's carrot stuck, get a fork and scrape it out, like Piers.

Now we'll add the carrot to the courgette. Mix the orange,

with the green.

And now we're going to crack an egg. Show me your egg -

it's very delicate so we have to be careful!

We'll knock knock on the door. Ready? Knock, knock, knock.

Until it makes a crack, then use two fingers to open the shell...

and out comes the egg!

-That's it, open it up, there you go!

-Did it!

Well done, brilliant!

We're going to give the egg a really good whisk. Who can go the fastest?

Go!

Whisk it around as much as you can. That's brilliant.

You can pretend to whisk at home if you like, like this... Ha, ha!

OK, that's fantastic.

Now we'll pour our egg into our mix.

Pour it in.

And now we'll take some raisins.

Who wants to see a raisin face?

Raisin face!

Who can pretend to do a raisin face?

Can you do a raisin face at home as well?

Take your raisins and pour them into your mix.

Take your milk and pour that in as well.

Last thing we'll put in...

the oil, that's right.

Let's pour in the oil, everyone.

-We'll take our fork and do what?

-ALL: Mix it!

Mix it all around, everyone.

This bowl is called our wet bowl

because it's got lots of wet ingredients in it.

Give it a good mix around.

Finished!

Put your wet bowl to the side and put your flour bowl in the middle.

We'll add sugar to our flour.

Get your sugar and sprinkle it in.

Like this... Sprinkle, sprinkle.

-All of it?

-Yep, all of it, every single last bit.

Now the magic ingredient...

baking powder.

Now, Piers, why is it magic?

Because it makes the cakes rise.

That's right, it does.

So, take your teaspoon,

and pop it into your baking powder. We'll pat it down like a sandcastle.

Really gently.

How are you doing, Anna? Well done.

Put your baking powder into your flour and sugar mix.

-Do you know what this bowl is called?

-The dry bowl.

-Cos everything is dry.

-That's right.

It's called the dry bowl because it's full of dry ingredients.

Let's take our wooden spoon and give it a good mix.

Take back your wet bowl because we're going to pour it all in.

Pour it into your dry bowl, everyone.

We're going to mix up everything,

like a big cauldron. Keep going till it's all sticky.

-It's very sticky!

-And it's very hard!

THEY LAUGH

It isn't hard for me anymore.

It's not hard for me, it's so soft and it's so easy.

Now we'll take two spoons and scoop out our mixture

and put them in the little paper cases.

-It's like putting them in beds, don't you think?

-Yeah.

-Do you think they're all cosy in their little beds?

-ALL: Yeah.

I've only done two because it's very sticky.

-I've done all mine.

-Piers, that's fantastic, that's really good.

And now it's time to put our muffins in the oven for 15 minutes.

But remember, with ovens beware, because it's hot in there.

So get an adult to help you. Come on, everyone.

Thank you, Piers.

Whilst our muffins are cooking,

-it's time to...

-ALL: Tidy up!

It's always good to tidy away so we can use things another day.

Now it's time to remember what we made today.
