I can cook!

I can cook!

I can cook!

Oh, hello! Lovely to see you.

I'm getting ready for today's recipe.

It'll be delicious and I can't wait.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Come in!

-Hello, Katy.

-Hello!

Hi, come in, come in. Do you want to know

what delicious recipe we're cooking today?

Yeah!

Today's delicious recipe is going to be...

magic mini fishcakes. Now doesn't that look tasty?

ALL: Yes!

We're nearly ready but there's one thing we've forgotten to do.

Do you know what it is?

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.

Yes!

To make our magic mini fishcakes

we need a herb called parsley, like this.

It'll add lots of lovely flavour to our fishcakes.

You need two long stalks and I've already taken some off for you.

-Can you see them on your plate?

-Yes.

-They look like little trees.

Put them into your bowl then take a clean pair of scissors

and we snip them up. Remember, when using scissors,

everybody knows, it's best to point them at your toes.

Let's snip them up, everyone.

Can we go, "Snip, snip, snip, snip, snip?"

Look, Katy.

That is excellent, Robbie. You're an expert tree-cutter.

Next you need a tin of salmon like this,

and get an adult to help you open it.

I've put yours in a bowl for you so tip it in with your parsley.

OK, and now we're going to take our fork

and mix it round like it's in a cauldron.

A really good mix.

Who can whizz it round really quickly and go "whizz"?

And the other way.

What colours have we got in our bowl?

-Pink and orange.

-We have, yeah.

It makes my arm ache.

Emma, yours is brilliant.

Really, really good.

Make sure you give it a really good stir like a roundabout.

What do you think we need next in our recipe?

I know, let's put you to the test. Today's ingredient for you to test.

What do you think it's going to be?

Let me give you some clues.

The missing ingredient for our magic mini fishcakes is green.

So could it be...

Ribbit!

No, you can't eat a cuddly toy frog!

So the missing ingredient is green and it grows when it's watered.

So could it be...

No, you can't eat grass either.

So it's green, it grows when it's watered,

and it's long and thin.

So could it be...

a spring onion! Our missing ingredient is a spring onion.

Did you work it out?

We need spring onions in our magic mini fishcakes.

Let's see how they grow in the I Can Cook garden.

I can cook!

I can cook!

Welcome to the I Can Cook garden, everyone.

Where will we find spring onions in the garden?

Do you think we'll find them in the greenhouse?

Under the ground? Or do you think we'll find them on a bush?

Under the ground.

-Under the ground? You're right, shall we have a look?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Can you see the spring onions growing?

-Yes.

Spring onions grow above the ground

with their roots and bulb growing underneath the soil.

You can see that the part we eat has got silvery skin.

How do we know when it's ready to eat?

When they're round and thick.

-That's right. Shall we pick some for our recipe?

-Yeah!

Fantastic! Well done!

Wipe all the mud off cos we don't want mud in our food, do we? Yuck!

Right, well now we've got our spring onions let's go back to the kitchen.

Come on, everyone.

I can cook!

We've washed our hands and our spring onions.

We're in the kitchen ready to start cooking again.

-Has you got your spring onion?

-Yeah!

It looks like a funny person. There's its head,

its funny hair and three wibbly legs. Can you make it walk?

Let's make them say hello. "Hello!"

-Hello!

-And now we're going to top and tail our spring onion.

So let's give him a haircut at the top, like that.

Now we snip off his three wiggly legs. Snip those off as well.

Take your spring onion and chop it into little bits.

Chop it up, everyone.

Oh!

-Are yours really springy, Zack?

-Yeah!

It's hard, isn't it?

That is really good, Emma. Awesome.

I've finished.

Put our spring onions into our bowl of salmon and parsley.

Pick them up with your fingertips and put them in.

Yuck! It's messy!

Next take some bread and do some grating. Who likes grating?

Me, me, me!

Take your bread and tear it into little bits, like paper,

so like this.

Next we work in pairs, get into your pairs.

You join me so we can make our breadcrumbs.

Give your pair a high-five.

Now we put our bread into our graters.

There we go. And we can start grating.

We've got quite a lot here.

And then put your breadcrumbs

onto your plate like this.

And now, keep grating,

until everyone's bread has been grated.

What do they look like, do you think, the breadcrumbs?

Snow.

Next, we're going to get a spoonful of our breadcrumbs, everyone,

and then pour it into your mixture and now...

we get to have some squirty fun.

Can you do squirty fingers like this?

Can you do that at home too?

And we're going to get our tomato ketchup

and we're going to squirt

a big blob of it onto our spoon.

Make sure you get it all over your spoon.

And then add the spoon to your bowl.

And next, we're going to get our pinchy fingers out,

so get your pinchy fingers...

SQUEAKING

-Can you go, "Hello, hello, hello, hello"?

-Hello, hello, hello, hello.

We're going to get a pinch of our pepper,

so take a little baby pinch and sprinkle it into your mixture.

And now we're going to give it a really, really good stir.

And you can pretend to stir at home if you want to, like this.

Smells like tuna.

Yummy, yummy in my tummy.

And now we're going to draw a line

down the middle of our mixture.

So are you ready, guys?

Draw a line down the middle

and make it into two bits on each side, like this, look.

Next, we're going to use our hands and get really messy.

Who wants to get messy?

ALL: Me!

We're going to get our hands into our bowl

and make two little round balls,

like that. Can you do that?

This is really fun.

Now we're going to use the breadcrumbs from earlier

and we're going to dip our magic mini fishcakes in them

to make them all bready like snowballs.

So roll them around like that.

And now do the same with the other one as well.

Can I have a look at your snowballs, Robbie?

Take a baking tray with some baking paper on top of it.

That's it.

We're going to take a pastry brush

and make two little puddles of olive oil on top.

You only need a little bit. Make a puddle.

Take your magic mini fishcakes and put them on top of the puddles.

It's like two big eyes.

That's it, Emma. Perfect.

Then we're going to sprinkle a little bit more oil on top,

like it's raining.

Dribble, dribble, dribble!

Dribble, dribble, dribble!

Can you show me duck-feet fingers? These are our duck-feet fingers.

Spread them as wide as you can.

Put them on your fishcakes and we're going to pat them down.

Nice and gently, that's it.

Like burgers.

And now it's time to put our magic mini fishcakes

into the oven for 15 minutes.

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

Get an adult to help you. Come on, everyone. Bring your fishcakes.

-It's rolling everywhere.

-Thank you, Gracie.

They look gorgeous!

Whilst our magic mini fishcakes are cooking,

it's time to...

ALL: Tidy up!

That's right. It's always good to put away,

so we can use things another day.

It's time to remember what we've made today.
