I can cook!

Hello! Great to see you!

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

I can't wait to make it.

I hope you'll join in with the cooking.

KNOCK ON THE DOOR

A-ha! Come in!

-Hello, Aria.

-Hello, Katie.

-Hello, Arvin. Hello, Daniel.

-Hello, Katie.

-Hello, Carmen.

Thanks for coming, everyone.

-Do you want to know what we're going to cook?

-ALL: Yes.

I'll tell you. Today's amazing recipe is going to be...

..baked-bean soup!

ALL: Mmm!

Before we start cooking, we have to do something. What is it?

ALL: Wash our hands.

That's right, we've all got to wash our hands. Off you go!

# Roll up your sleeves

# Give your hands a wash with slippy-dippy soap

# Splish splash splosh Have you done your hands?

# Washed and dried Sleeves rolled up

# Apron tied

# What can you do? I can cook! #

Let's get started.

To make our baked-bean soup, we'll begin with beans.

You can't make a bean soup without beans!

We're going to use borlotti beans.

We have to make sure they're all washed and clean for us to use.

-Have we all got our washed beans?

-Yes!

-What other beans can you think of?

-Runner beans.

-What does a runner bean do?

-Run, run, run!

We're going to measure three heaped dessert spoons of borlotti beans.

So put your spoon in,

and get a big mountain of beans.

And then put them in your casserole dish.

They look like jumping beans. What does a jumping bean do?

-Jump!

-Yeah! Ready?

Boing, boing, boing, boing, boing, boing, boing!

Daniel, don't jump out the house!

Ha ha ha!

Then we need to squash the beans down with the back of the spoon.

Squash!

This will let the flavours of the other ingredients go into the beans,

and it'll thicken the soup.

You've got to be very strong! Can I see your strong muscles?

And when your beans are all squashed,

we're going to add some celery. First, we need to snap it.

Hold it like a sandwich, and we're going to snap it in half.

Snap! See?

And then we make it into two halves, like this.

It looks like a crocodile mouth, look.

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!

You have a go.

Can you do it?

That's it!

-You're doing it!

-I just can't do the other side. Ah! There.

Perfect!

Arvin, can I have a look at your talking crocodile?

Hello, Mr Crocodile, what's your name?

-I don't know.

-You've got a very big crocodile mouth.

You can pretend to be a crocodile at home, like this.

Snap! Snap! Snap! That's it!

Now we need to snip our celery up.

To do this, we'll use some scissors.

But remember, be safe with scissors.

-Everyone knows, point them down towards your...?

-ALL: Toes!

That's right, towards your toes.

Snip, snip, snippety-snip, snip.

-Snip, snip, snippety-snip.

-Can you pretend to snip with us at home?

Snip, snip, snippety-snip! That's it!

So, put your celery in your dish.

-It's like snow!

-What, the celery?!

Yes, green snow from aliens!

-Is that what snow is like on alien planets?

-Yes!

Next, let's add some cooked bacon and some spring onions.

If you don't like meat, you could add more vegetables.

-What others could we add?

-Carrots!

-Yes! How about parsnips?

-Yummy!

-What colour's the spring onion and the bacon?

-Green and pink.

Yeah. We've got loads of colours in our baked-bean soup.

What ingredient do you think we'll need next?

What is next? Well, let us see if you can guess what it could be.

Cheese-and-onion crisps.

Let me give you some clues.

The special ingredient is white, so could it be...

..a cup and saucer?!

We're not going to put a cup and saucer in our cooking!

We'll try again.

The special ingredient is white, and it's got its own special wrapping.

So could it be...

..a present?!

We're not putting a present in our cooking, that's silly!

We'll try one last time.

So the special ingredient is white, it's got its own special wrapping,

and it has a really strong taste and smell.

So it must be...

..garlic!

We're going to use some garlic in our baked-bean soup.

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

Follow me, everyone!

And why don't you come, too?

Come on!

Welcome to the I Can Cook garden, everyone!

Where in the garden do you think we might find garlic?

Do you think it grows on bushes,

in the greenhouse or in the ground?

ALL: In the ground!

Yes! The garlic we're looking for is growing in the ground.

But you can also grow garlic in the greenhouse, too.

So if the garlic is growing in the ground,

-how will we know how to find it?

-You have to find the tall leaves.

That's right!

The garlic plant has tall, green stalks that grow up towards the sky

with long, thin leaves.

-Shall we go and hunt for some garlic?

-ALL: Yeah!

Come on! What are you waiting for? Let's go! This way!

-Do you think these are the garlic?

-No.

-Why not?

-They don't look like garlic.

Where can they be?

-Do you think these ones are the garlic bulbs?

-Yes.

-Look!

-It's white.

-It's hiding in the soil. Can you see it?

-Shall we pull them out?

-Yes!

-One, two, three, woo!

One, two, three!

It looks like its hair's all messy!

-Shall we have a big garlic disco?

-Yes!

# Doo, doo, doo, doo! #

This garlic will be perfect for our baked-bean soup.

-Now we've got our garlic, shall we go back to the kitchen?

-Yes!

Come on!

So, here are the garlic bulbs we got from the garden.

We've dried some out, and here they are.

-Has everyone got garlic?

-ALL: Yes.

Garlic is made up of smaller parts called cloves,

which are inside the wrapping.

Firstly, we need to peel open the garlic bulb, like this.

Take the big stalk off.

And open it up

like a birthday present!

Put your wrapping aside, as we don't want that.

Take one clove from your garlic bulb.

Just one of these little bits.

Now we need to snip the top and the bottom off,

and to do this, we need scissors.

Snip a little bit of the top off,

and then a little bit of the bottom off.

It looks like a half moon.

We put our garlic into our paper bag.

Has everyone got a rolling pin?

-Yes!

-Say, "I've got my rolling pin!"

-ALL: I've got my rolling pin!

Hold your bag tight with one hand,

and with the other hand, do some gentle bashing.

And stop!

-Do you think we can open it up?

-Yes!

OK. Rip open the bag, like this.

And look, all the mashed garlic is inside!

And then empty all the garlic into your dish.

For the next part, we need to get out our pinchy fingers.

Pinch, pinch, pinch! Can you do pinchy fingers?

Pinch, pinch, pinch!

We're going to take a pinch of chilli flakes.

These are going to add some amazing flavour to our baked-bean soup.

But we only need a few, everyone, cos they're quite hot and spicy.

You've got to be sure not to put your fingers near your eyes

when you're using chilli flakes. To be safe, let's wipe our hands.

Next, we're going to add a squeeze of tomato puree.

Take the lid off, and then hold it like this.

We're going to squeeze for three counts. Ready, go!

One, two, three, stop!

Next we're going to add some stock.

Stock is water with really yummy flavours in it.

One, two, three, splosh!

Ooh, look at that!

And then give it all a good mix with your spoon.

Does it smell nice?

Mmm!

Put the lid on the dish.

And that is it, you've done it!

You've put all the ingredients together for your baked-bean soup

all by yourself!

So now it's time to put our baked-bean soup in the oven.

But remember, ovens are hot, so don't go near.

Ask a grown-up to help you here. Come on, everyone.

Who's first?

While we wait for our baked-bean soup to cook,

-there's one thing left to do. What do you think it is?

-Wash up!

We've got to wash everything up.

# Now we've cooked, let's wash up

# Stack the plates and the bowls on top

# Dishes and spoons Splish, splash, splosh

# Having fun while we tidy and wash

# Dishes and spoons Splish, splash, splosh

# Having fun while we tidy and wash. #

Can you remember some of the things we've done today?

We've...

-Squashed.

-Chopped.

-Squeezed.

-And...

-Poured!

We've been very busy.

PING!

I've turned the oven off, and I'm about to take

our baked-bean soup out.

Our food is nearly ready to eat!

Let's lay the table and take a seat!

While I let the food cool down,

let's play a guessing game.

What can you see? Keep on looking.

Say when you know what we used in our cooking.

It's red. It often comes in tubes that you can squeeze,

and it's made from tomatoes.

Do you know what it is?

That's right! It's tomato puree, which we squeezed into

our baked-bean soup. Did you guess? Well done!

And here they are!

You've cooked your very own baked-bean soup, everyone.

One, two, three!

One, two, three!

Wow! Look at all those ingredients!

We've done the cooking, now let's do some eating!

I'm going to eat bread with soup.

What are you going to do with your bread, Arvin?

Dip it in.

What's happened to the celery?

Turned reddy-green.

-Is that because of the sauce?

-Yeah.

It's a little bit spicy.

-Why do you think it's spicy?

-It's the chilli flakes.

-Yeah, that's right.

-I found one of my chilli flakes.

-Where is it?

-On my spoon.

Carmen found a chilli flake hiding in her soup!

So, what can you do?

ALL: I can cook!

And remember that you can cook too!

If you want to have a go at the recipe we've made today,

you can find it on our website.

Who wants some more bread?

ALL: Me!

You can have a little bit.

How does it feel to eat something you've made?

Excellent!

Fantastic!
