Hello! It's great to see you today.

I've just been getting ready for today's recipe.

It's going to be delicious and I can't wait.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Come in.

-Hello, Katy.

-Hi, Jamie.

-Hello, Katy.

-Hi, Gracie. Hey, Zach.

Hey, Mia. Hey, Jose. Come in, come in.

Thanks for coming, everyone.

Are you excited about doing some cooking?

ALL: Yes!

Now, do you want to know what delicious recipe

we're going to be cooking today?

ALL: Yes!

Well, today's mouth-watering recipe is going to be...

A baked risotto. Now doesn't that look tasty?

ALL: Yes.

Now, we're just about ready to make a start.

But there is one thing that we need to do first.

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.

ALL: Yes.

To make our lovely baked risotto

we're going to need a red pepper like this.

Can everyone show me your thumbs like this?

Because we're gonna do some popping. So put them

into the middle of your pepper, and pop it down like this. Ready?

POP

Pop! Can you give it a go?

THEY POP

THEY GIGGLE

Funny.

Now pull it out.

-Can you pull it out?

-No.

I think it's out!

Have to twist it.

KATY LAUGHS

-Who's ready to do some ripping?

-ALL: Me!

Because we're gonna rip it apart. Ready? Go!

And now we need to sprinkle out all the seeds,

so go sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle.

THEY GIGGLE

-Can everyone get all the seeds out?

-Yeah.

-I've done it!

-Fantastic! That's great.

Now, remember to pull out all the white, fleshy bits.

You want to pull all of those bits out.

Have you got all your seeds out?

Yes!

And now we're going to tear it into four bits.

Oh! It's splashing at me!

We're going to take one of our bits

and rip it into lots of little bits.

-Can you rip it up into lots of bits, guys?

-Yeah.

-It's a bit like tearing paper, isn't it?

-Oh, going very good.

What do you think we're going to 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.

The missing ingredient for our baked risotto is very nice.

It rhymes with "nice",

so could it be...

mice?!

That's the last thing we want in the kitchen! Let's try again.

It rhymes with "nice", so could it be...

ice?!

That's not right. It'd melt, wouldn't it?

Let's try one final time.

The missing ingredient rhymes with "nice",

so it must be...

rice! Did you work it out?

We're going to need rice in our baked risotto.

There's lots of different types of rice and lots of ways to use it.

Let's find out more on our computer.

Rice plants are grown in big fields, which are flooded with water.

When it's nearly time to collect the rice, all the water is drained away,

so the rice plants can dry out.

The rice that we eat is the seeds of the rice plant.

When the rice has dried out enough, the plants are then cut down

and left to dry even more.

When the rice plants are completely dry,

the stalks are removed to leave grains of rice, which can be eaten.

And we've got some rice here. This is a very

special type of rice. It's called Arborio rice.

It'll be perfect for using in our baked risotto.

Before we do that,

we need to put some olive oil in a dish that can

go in the oven. Has everyone

-got their oil?

-Yeah.

-Everyone got

-their dish?

-Yeah.

-Let's pour the olive oil in.

Ready? Whe-e-e-e!

So next we're going to put our Arborio rice into the dish.

-Have you got your rice?

-ALL: Yeah.

Pretend this is a treasure chest.

Put in your rice.

And now add our red peppers

to our treasure chest.

So sprinkle those in.

I think this is gonna be really colourful, don't you?

That's it.

Now what else shall we put into our treasure chest?

-We'll put in some peas!

-Peas!

Pour your peas in.

What colours have we got so far?

-Red and green.

-That's right.

Next, we'll take two mushrooms, tear them up and put them in the chest.

We'll tear them up with our fingers.

Let's do it quickly,

cos we want to hide our treasure chest from the pirates.

Keep tearing, everyone!

THEY LAUGH

Now, we'll give a spring onion a haircut!

-Can you see the hair on its head?

-ALL: Yeah!

So take your spring onion, everyone.

To do this, we need a clean pair of scissors.

When using scissors, everybody knows,

it's best to point them at your...

-ALL: Toes!

-Right!

At your toes.

OK, so, snip the hair off.

And then snip off his wiggly legs at the bottom.

So put your wiggly legs

and hair onto a plate, cos you don't want those bits.

Get the bit that's left and give that a good chop, like this.

And now we're going to add these to our dish too.

Pick them all up.

Careful, cos spring onions are very springy.

Bring back your treasure chest and sprinkle it in.

That's really good.

And now we'll add something very tasty indeed!

Some roast chicken that I cooked earlier.

So tear it up into lots of tiny pieces.

Then put it into your treasure chest.

THEY GIGGLE

Yummy.

KATY LAUGHS

-Yummy!

-Um!

I want to eat them now.

THEY GIGGLE

Who's got messy fingers?

-Me!

-I have!

-Let's have a look.

Who likes being messy?

-ALL: Me!

-It's great being messy sometimes. Do you like being messy?

That's it. Really good!

Next, we need some warm water

and we're going to add it to our dish.

Oh, I made a splash.

-I didn't.

-I didn't.

And now, we'll get out our pinchy fingers.

Can you do pinchy fingers?

Yeah!

-Can you pretend it's a duck? "Quack, quack"!

-Quack, quack!

I'm going to add a pinch of vegetable stock,

which will add lovely flavour to our baked risotto.

Sprinkle it in, everyone.

You can put a little more if you want.

Well done, Mia. That's brilliant!

-Everyone got their spoon?

-Yeah.

Cos we're gonna give it a really good old stir.

Everyone ready?

Don't forget to stir at home. Can you stir with us as well?

Where's the rice gone?

-Rice goes over here.

-Yeah, I can't find it.

Where's the rice gone?

The water's mixing with all the other ingredients

to make a tasty sauce.

That's it. Keep mixing, everyone.

Brilliant, Gracie. That's fab.

-It's hurting my arm.

-Very hard.

Now that's all done, we're gonna put our lid on top.

Then put it in a hot oven

for 25 minutes,

but remember, with ovens beware, cos it's hot in there!

Get an adult to help you. Come on, let's go!

Thank you, Gracie.
