Hello, lovely to see you!

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

It's going to be so tasty, I can't wait.

-KNOCK AT THE DOOR

-Come in!

-GIRLS: Hello, Katy!

-Hi, Eleanor, hi, Honeybee.

-BOYS: Hello, Katy!

-Hi, Milo, hi Harris, hi Liam, come in!

Now, do you want to know what we're going to cook today?

ALL: Yes!

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

frittata. Doesn't that look so tasty?

CHILDREN: Yes!

Now, we're just about ready to start to cook,

but there's one thing we need to do first. What is it?

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? Washed and dried, yes!

# Sleeves rolled up Apron tied, yes!

# What can you do? I can cook! #

-Let's get cooking, everyone!

-ALL: Yes!

To make our frittata we need

some potatoes that have been cooked.

And we're going to put them into a grease-proof paper bag,

like this, so come on, everyone, you can do it too.

Pop them in...

Make them have a little jingle-jangle inside.

Can you give them a wiggle about, like this?

And now, put it on your mat, hold it tight,

we're going to take our rolling pin

and we're going to give them a cracking good crush!

Ready? Let's count to three and then start.

One, two, three, go!

Don't worry if you haven't got a grease-proof paper bag,

you can mash the potatoes in a bowl with your rolling pin.

Eurgh, they're going all mashy!

and now we need to empty all of the mashed potato into a bowl.

And you can roll it like a tube.

And it's all squishy!

And it's sticky.

Eurgh, it's made my fingers all sticky.

-I can take it out but with messy fingers.

-Mine's not coming out.

I don't want to.

Squeeze it out, if you can, like me. Watch.

-Why's it so sticky?

-I know, it's on my fingers.

Milo, what does it feel like when you're taking all the potato out?

Yucky!

It's really sticky-wicky, look at my fingers!

My fingers, eurgh!

Now, 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?

Now, let me give you some clues.

The missing ingredient for our frittata is green, so could it be...

No! You can't eat a green dinosaur!

OK, I'll give u another clue.

It's long and it's thin, so, could it be...

No! You can't eat a green cricket bat!

Now, let's try one more time, shall we?

The missing ingredient is green, long and thin, so, could it be...

Do you know what it is? This is asparagus

and we're going to need asparagus in our frittata.

Let's go an see if we can find some in the I Can Cook garden. Come on.

# I can cook Do-da-do, da-do-da-do

# Do-do-da-do-do da-do-da-do

# Do-da-do, da-do-da-do

# Do-do-da-do-do I can cook

# La-la-la-la-la-la...#

This is the I Can Cook garden.

Where in the garden do you think we'll find asparagus?

Do you think we'll find it growing in the greenhouse?

Or on a bush?

Or growing out of the ground?

ALL: Out of the ground.

-Do you want to have a look?

-ALL: Yes.

-Come on, let's go.

Can everyone spot the asparagus growing?

-ALL: Yes.

-Now, asparagus

grows out ground,

with the stalk, or the spear, being the part that we eat.

So, how do we know when asparagus is ready to eat?

-Because, if we see the stalk, we know where it is.

-That's right,

but the stalk needs to be about as tall as a pencil

and it needs to be about as thick as our finger.

-Shall we snip some of this asparagus to take back?

-ALL: Yeah.

Remember, be careful with your scissors and take the stalk,

hold it in your hand and snip... just like that.

Bit more... Well done!

It's quite a thick pencil. That's it!

That's it, give it a good snip. Great job!

And now we've finished picking our asparagus,

let's get back to the kitchen.

# I can cook! #

We're back in the kitchen and we've washed our asparagus and our hands

and we're ready to carry on cooking.

Now, take our asparagus and we're going to

snip them into pieces,

but remember, when using scissors, everybody knows,

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

ALL: Toes!

You got it. Let's snip them!

What do you think an asparagus looks like?

-A paintbrush?

-It does look a bit like a paintbrush, doesn't it?

Oh! It's really jumpy!

THEY GIGGLE

-They're popping all over the place.

-They're bouncy like a frog!

KATY LAUGHS

Can you pretend to snip at home too, with your fingers?

Like this - snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip!

That is really good, you've chopped it into lots of little pieces,

Perfect, well done.

We're going to bring back our potato

and we're going to put in all of our chopped asparagus.

-You do it too.

-Wee, I did mine.

That's it, put it all in, Harris. And then we're going to add

spring onions, which I've chopped up the same way.

They're a bit springy, careful they don't spring out of the bowl!

Honeybee, what colours can you see in your bowl now?

White...

and green...

-and sort of yellow.

-And sort of yellow?

Looks very nice. Now we're going to add

another green ingredient - peas! So, everyone,

Pour in your peas.

Whee!

-I'm done.

-Oh!

And now another green ingredient,

take a look at this.

It's a herb called mint.

And if you smell the leaves you've got on your table,

Oh! they smell really nice!

So rip it up,

and put it into your bowl.

See if you can tear them into tiny pieces.

I don't really like mint, but I like tiny mint.

-It's a bit like tearing paper.

-Yeah.

Smell your bowl, what does it smell like?

-Does it smell nice?

-Yeah.

Oh, it smells like the outside, doesn't it?

Smells like Autumn.

That's very nice.

Honeybee, what d'you think your bowl smells like?

-Mint.

-It does smell like mint.

Another thing that has a strong smell, is grated parmesan cheese.

-What do you think it smells like, everyone?

-Urgh!

-Smelly.

-It is a bit smelly, isn't it?

But it tastes delicious, so we're going to put it in our bowl.

THE CHILDREN GIGGLE

-I put it everywhere.

-Yeah, make sure you get every last bit!

Now we're going to take two eggs and break them into our cup.

So we need to knock on the door, knock, knock, knock.

And then open it up with your thumbs - I love this bit!

Out comes the egg - wee!

Woo-hoo-hoo!

KATY LAUGHS

Yuckified!

-Do we do another one?

-You do another one and it's number two!

So, give it a crack, knock on the door,

-knock, knock, knock

-CHILDREN: Knock, knock, knock

I'm done.

Now we need to mix it.

That's brilliant, give it a really good whizz around, Liam.

-Really fast.

-As fast as that?

And...stop!

Next, we're going to pour it into our bowl.

Wee!

-THE CHILDREN GIGGLE

-Wow!

We're going to get our pinching finger out, like this,

pinch, pinch, pinch! And we're going to have a pinch of pepper.

Sprinkle it in.

And now, give it all a really good old stir. Give it a good stir,

make sure it's all mixed in.

Wow!

I'm going around and...

Brilliant! And next, we're going to

take a dish that can go in the oven,

which I've already oiled for you,

so the frittata doesn't stick to the sides when it goes in the oven.

And now, we get to pour it all in.

So, everyone, are you ready? And pour!

THEY ALL GIGGLE

And now it's time to put our frittata in an over for 20 minutes

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

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

# Do-do-da-do-do da-do-da-do

# Do-da-do, da-do-da-do

# Do-do-da-do-do I can cook! #

Whilst our frittatas are cooking, it's time to...

ALL: Tidy up!

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

So now, it's time to remember what we've made today.

# Make frittata or bake frittata

# It's a pea and asparagus onion and egg dish

# Make frittata, bake frittata Oh fri-ttata

# Have a smashing time by breaking up potatoes

# Take a little sniff of the mint

# We crack open an egg and we add it with the cheese

# Asparagus, onion and peas

# Make frittata or bake frittata

# It's a pea and asparagus onion and egg dish

# Make frittata, bake frittata Fri-ttata! #

# I can cook! #

Our frittatas have cooked and while they cool down,

CHILDREN: Let's lay the table!

Our frittatas have cooled and they're ready to eat!

The waiting is over, enough of this talk, let 's taste what we've cooked

with a knife and a fork. Come on, everyone!

This looks so yummy!

Mmm, lovely!

-And what does yours taste like, Liam?

-A bit nice.

-What's your favourite bit, Milo?

-My favourite bit is the asparagus.

Our frittatas are delicious, we did it!

ALL: We can cook!

That's it for now, I can't wait to see you all again soon.

And remember that you can cook, too!

Honeybee, what other things could we put in our frittata, do you think?

-Carrots?

-We could! What else?

-Onion?

-Onion!

-We've got some onion...

-Noodles?

Noodles!?

They'd be a bit wiggly.
