Hello! Lovely to see you.

I'm just getting ready for today's recipe.

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

-KNOCKING

-Come in!

Hello, Katy!

-Hi, Nathan, come in.

-Hello, Katy!

Hi, Ayeesha, hi, Michael!

-Hello.

-Hello, Megan, come in.

-Hi, Katy.

-Hello, Emily.

-Do you want to know what recipe we're going to be cooking?

-Yes!

Today's tongue-tingling recipe is going to be...

A savoury hot pot!

-Now, doesn't that look tasty?

-CHILDREN: Yes!

We're nearly ready to make a start, but there's one thing we need to do.

-Do you know what it is?

-CHILDREN: Wash your hands!

# Roll up your sleeves Give your hands a wash

# With slippy, dippy soap Splish, splash, splosh

# Cooking is fun But it can be mucky

# So put your apron on To stop your clothes getting yucky

-# Have you done your hands?

-Yes!

-Washed and dried?

-Yes!

-# Sleeves rolled up?

-Yes!

-Apron tied?

-Yes!

# Let's take a look In the cookery book

# What can you do? I can cook! #

-Let's get cooking!

-Yes!

To make our savoury hot pot, we're going to need a spring onion.

If you put the spring onion on your plate like this,

it looks a bit like a silly person with three legs. Can you do it?

Can you make it walk down the road? # Do-di-do-di-doo. #

"I've got a wobbly leg!"

GIGGLING

And now we're going to give our spring onion a hair cut

and we're going to chop off his wibbly legs. To do this,

we're going to need a pair of clean scissors.

Remember, when using scissors, everybody knows,

-it's always best to point them at your...?

-CHILDREN: Toes!

Good. Now, let's snip off the hair, like this.

That's perfect, well done, Michael.

And then cut off his wibbly, wobbly, wibbly, wobbly legs.

He's got one leg now!

GIGGLING

Put these bits to the side, we don't want those.

And then we're going to chop the bit that's left.

Can you make it look like a fish swimming around?

Blub, blub, glug, glug!

And put it on your mat. We're going to take our scissors again,

and remember to be careful.

We're going to chop it into pieces. Spring onions are really springy,

so you have to be careful they don't spring off the table.

-Otherwise we can't use them.

-That's right.

I've cutted mine up.

And now, we're going to take a dish that can go in the oven, like this.

And we're going to put our spring onion into it.

Wee!

Now, we're going to add these, what are they?

-Cannellini beans!

-Cannellini beans.

That's right, cannellini beans.

Let's put them into our dish as well.

That looks really good. Now, what do you think we need next?

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

What do you think it's going to be?

GIGGLING

Let me give you some clues.

The missing ingredient is green, so could it be...?

No! We're not going to eat a duster!

The missing ingredient is green and it also has lots of leaves.

So, could it be...?

No! We can't eat a house plant!

It's green, it has lots of leaves, and here's one more clue.

It looks a bit like a lettuce.

So, could it be...?

A cabbage! The missing ingredient is a cabbage.

Did you work it out? We're going to need one of these in our hot pot.

Let's go and see how cabbages grow in the I Can Cook garden. Come on.

CHILDREN GIGGLE

This is the I Can Cook garden.

Where do you think cabbages grow?

In the greenhouse?

Do you think they'll grow on a bush?

Or do you think they grow out of the soil?

ALL: Out of the soil!

That's right, they grow out of the soil.

They grow really close to the ground as well.

Let's go have a look.

-Who can see the cabbages growing?

-Me!

-Me!

Cabbages grow low to the ground, with the main part that we eat here,

sitting on top of the soil.

It needs to have a nice, tight, firm head, like a green football.

-Do you think that one's ready?

-Yeah!

-Picking a cabbage can be tricky.

This is what you should get an adult to do.

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

We've washed our hands and our cabbages and we're ready to cook.

We're going to need a big leaf of cabbage about the size of our face.

Can you do a cabbage, face, everyone?

-# Doo-di-doo!

-Doo-di-doo! #

And we're going to rip it into pieces.

So we need to tear it up and rip it up.

It's a bit like tearing paper.

Can you pretend to tear at home as well, with your hands like this?

-Tear and rip! Tear and rip!

-And you can break it like this.

Snap!

GIGGLING

And then, we're going to put it into our dish.

So tear it up and put it in your dish, everyone.

-Looks like a jungle, doesn't it?

-And all the beans look like animals.

Now, we're going to pour some chopped tinned tomatoes

on top of our cabbage.

-It's cold.

-It's a wonderful feast!

And we're going to add two small sausages that I cooked earlier.

We're going to put them into our dish.

I'm going to make a volcano.

-Let's have a look then.

-There!

GIGGLING

You're going to need to lie them down, or you won't get the lid on!

And now, we're going to make a really fun mixture.

Put your dish to the side, everyone.

And bring in half a cup of water.

And now, let's get our pinchy fingers out.

# Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah! #

ALL: # Wah-wah-wah-wah! #

Take a pinch of stock powder, and sprinkle it into your cup, like so.

In it goes! Sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle.

And now, we're going to add a dollop of mustard.

Take your spoon and your mustard, and put it into your cup.

Woo! Makes a funny sound.

-Splatter.

-Pop!

And then...look at this, everyone.

This is a herb called thyme.

And if you smell it - you've got some on your table -

if you smell the leaves, they smell really nice.

-What do they smell of?

-They smell of ketchup.

GIGGLING

And when you add them to your dish, it adds lots of lovely flavour.

So take your thyme leaves, everyone, and sprinkle them into your cup.

They look like really baby leaves, don't they?

Little baby leaves.

-I've done all of them.

-Are you ready for the last part?

Give me your pinchy fingers.

Can you do pinchy fingers at home as well, like this?

And take a pinch of pepper, and put it into your mixture.

-What do you think we're going to do next?

-Stir!

We're going to stir it up! So take a spoon and give it a good stir.

That's it, keep stirring.

It's changing colour!

What colours are there in the cup?

Er, brown...green...

Yellow...citrus colour!

It looks horrible, but it isn't!

GIGGLING

And now, we need to add our fun mixture into the big dish.

So bring it over...

-That's it. Shall we all pour together?

-Yeah.

-OK. Ready?

-Five, four, three, two, one!

-Go!

It smells like cabbage!

LAUGHTER

And now, put the lid on the dish, because it's time to put it

into a hot oven for 25 minutes.

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

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

Whilst our savoury hot pots 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.

# A savoury hot pot we have made today

# With the cabbage we got from the ground

# Tomatoes and sausages, peppers and thyme

# But the best part was singing a rhyme

# We had to chop-a chop-a chop-a Snip-a snip-a snip-a

# Cut, cut, cut the onions

# Chop-a chop-a chop-a Snip-a snip-a snip-a

# Cut, cut, cut the cabbage

# Put it all together with the beans and tomatoes

# Sausages and some stock

# With mustard and pepper And thyme from the garden

# Wait 25 minutes, tick tock, Tick, tock, tick...

# One, two, three, four, tock! #

Our savoury hot pots have cooked!

And while they cool down...

ALL: Let's lay the table!

Come on, our savoury hot pot is ready to eat.

It looks delicious.

The waiting is over, enough of this talk.

Let's taste what we've cooked with a knife and a fork!

-Delicious.

-Delicious!

Our savoury hot pots are so delicious -

-we did it!

-ALL: We can cook!

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

and remember that you can cook too!

What do you think of yours, Emily?

I love this.

Michael, what does yours taste like?

Yummy.
