Simple Fish Dish I Can Cook

# I can cook!

# I can cook! #

Oh, hello. Good to see you.

I'm getting ready for today's recipe.

It's going to be a really tasty one.

I can't wait!

I hope you are going to join in with the cooking.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Aha! Come in!

ALL: Hello, Katy!

Hi, Louis. Hello, Amy and Jessica. Mackenzie. Hello, Larissa. Come in.

Thank you for coming.

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

ALL: Yes.

Well, today's recipe is...

simple fish dish!

Before we start to cook, do you know what we have to do?

-ALL: Wash our hands!

-That's right. We need to wash our hands.

Off you go, everyone.

# 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! #

To begin our simple fish dish, we need some pieces of bread.

We can use white or brown bread.

You can even use bread that's a day or so old.

-We'll do some tearing. Can you do tearing?

-Yes.

Take your bread.

We're going to tear it into chunks. Like this. Ready?

Tear and rip! Perfect. Then you can make it into all sorts of shapes.

Next, we drop the chunks of bread in melted butter.

-Has everyone got melted butter?

-Yes.

I've melted your butter for you. I'll just check the bowl's not hot.

That's fine.

-Shall we dip them in the butter?

-Yes.

OK. We can just drop it in, like feeding ducks.

Whee! Ooh!

-Whee!

-What noise does a duck make?

-Quack!

-Quack!

-Quack!

Can you do a duck at home? We go like this...

Quack, quack, quack!

Quack, quack, quack!

Let's keep dipping the bread in our butter.

Keep the bread in the butter bowl.

Put all the bread in, then you can get sticky fingers

and mix the bread and butter together.

-Now it's getting all yellow.

-And soggy.

-It smells nice.

Who's got wet and soggy fingers?

Can you do soggy fingers?

Soggy fingers!

When we've made our bread soggy,

we need to give our soggy fingers a wipe.

-Has everyone got a towel?

-Yes!

Move your bread to the side.

Bring in your fresh bowl. We're going to put in some cheese.

You can use your fork, cos it's a bit sticky.

That's it. Oh, it's stuck to my fork!

THEY LAUGH

-Come on.

-Yucky!

-Has everyone put their cheese in the bowl?

-Yes!

Then we put in flour - we only need a bit.

Then we add some milk and stir it together.

Where does milk come from?

ALL: Cows!

That's right, but it can come from other animals, like sheep or goats.

What noise does a cow make?

-ALL: Moo!

-Ooh, that's a big cow!

Are we ready to do some pouring?

-Yes.

-We should make a special noise when we pour the milk.

Shall we say "whoosh"?

-Yes!

-OK, ready? You can join in, too.

One, two, three, whoosh!

And then we're going to mix with our fork.

Don't forget to stir with us at home.

You get a bowl and a fork and you stir, stir, stir.

That's it!

I think it's going to turn into a snow monster.

-What, this?

-Yes!

-A snow monster?!

I'm a bit scared!

And when your sauce is all lovely and smooth,

you can add some spring onions. What do we need next in our fish dish?

What is next? Let us see if you can guess what it could be.

Let me give you some clues.

The special ingredient is green.

So, could it be...

Grass?! Eurgh, we don't want to eat a pile of grass.

It would taste horrible. Let's try again.

The special ingredient is green and it's round.

So, could it be...

..A tennis ball?! We can't eat a tennis ball, can we?

Let's try one last time.

The special ingredient is green, it's round, and - one last clue -

it's very, very small.

So, it must be...

..peas! We're going to need peas for our simple fish dish.

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

Come on, everyone!

Come on, everyone! Do you want to come, too?

Come on.

Welcome to the I Can Cook garden, everyone.

Now, where do you think we might find peas?

In the ground?

On trees?

Or on plants?

-On plants.

-OK.

-On the plants.

-OK. And Mackenzie?

-On the plants.

That's right! They grow on plants.

THEY CHEER

We need to find the plants that the peas grow on.

But you won't see the peas because they're hidden in pods.

Like this one here.

It's a bit like a little sleeping bag for the peas.

Shall we go on a pea pod hunt?

ALL: Ye-e-e-e-s!

Come on, then!

I think they are here,

but they're not growing.

They're not growing? Let's have a look.

I don't think they're here. Let's look somewhere else.

ALL: We found them!

Let's have a look!

Oh, you did, guys! Well done.

How many are there? There are loads of them!

Some of them aren't ready to pick.

-Why's that?

-Cos they're flat.

-How do we know when they're ready?

-When they're fat.

Let's get picking, everyone!

Who's hiding inside?

Wow! Look at that.

OK, now we've got our peas, let's get back to the kitchen, everyone!

Go, go, go, go!

We've got some peas, now we need to take them out of their pods.

Let's take them out of their sleeping bags.

Who can do a pea face?

THEY GIGGLE

LAUGHTER

Can you pretend to do a pea face at home, like this?

This is how you pod a pea.

You run your fingernail down the line in the middle carefully.

And then open it up, and what's inside?

-Peas!

-Little sleeping peas!

-Louie, what did you say?

-Little sleeping peas.

-Are they snoring? I can't hear them, can you?

-No.

They're already awake now!

And we need enough peas to fill two tablespoons.

So when you think you've got enough, take your spoon

and then put them into your bowl.

Can anyone think of anything else you'll need

for a simple FISH dish?

-Fish!

-Fish! That's right.

This is a type of fish called haddock. It's a white fish.

We need to chop it into pieces using scissors.

Remember, be safe with scissors, everyone knows -

-point them down towards your...

-ALL: Toes!

What does the fish feel like?

-Slimy.

-All soggy.

Slimy!

-It feels cold.

-It is.

And you can do some snippy fingers with us at home.

You get your scissors like this, and you go, "snip, snip, snip"!

Can you put your fish in your dish?

You have to be careful with raw fish. Wash your hands

once you've finished.

We've washed our hands, now we put all our ingredients together.

So now we're going to pour the sauce over the fish.

Whoop! There it goes.

OK, let's put tomatoes on top of it now.

Ooh, it made a splash!

Oooh!

And then when you've mixed that all together,

we put the bread on top.

Squash it down, like this. Squash, squash, squash.

I can feel the fish!

Let's squish our bread into our dish.

Squish, squash, squish, squash!

THEY GIGGLE

And that's it.

You've made it!

You put all the ingredients together for your simple fish dish

all by yourself! Well done. Now, we put our dish in the oven.

But remember, ovens are hot.

So don't go near. Ask a grown-up to help you here.

Come on, everyone, let's put them in the oven.

Are you going first, Louis?

Oh, it is heavy.

While we wait for our simple fish dish to cook,

-there's one thing left to do. Do you know what it is?

-Wash up!

That's right, we've got to wash up, everyone!

# 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...

-Torn.

-Squashed.

-Snipped.

-Dropped.

-Stirred.

Haven't we done a lot?

Ooh! I've turned off the oven and I'm about to take our food out.

Our food is nearly ready to eat!

So let's lay the table and take a seat.

While I let our food cool down so it's safe to eat,

let's play a guessing game.

What can you see? Keep on looking.

Say when you know what we used in our cooking.

It can be brown or white.

It comes in lots of different shapes.

And you can use it to make toast or sandwiches.

Do you know what it is?

Yes, that's right, it's bread!

Which we used to make the crunchy topping for our simple fish dish.

Did you guess? Well done!

And here it is, all ready to eat!

You've cooked your very own simple fish dish!

Shall we have a look at yours, Louie? Ready?

Wow! Look at that!

Woo! Oh, my, look at all that fish!

Mackenzie, shall we look at yours?

Wow, delicious.

Oh, Larissa, that is fantastic!

Jessica! Look at yours!

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

-Who's hungry?

-Me!

-Me!

-I'm really hungry!

-Who wants some vegetables?

-ALL: Me!

Mackenzie, what does yours look like?

-Very nice.

-Yours is all mushy and squashy and yummy.

-So, what can you do?

-ALL: I can cook!

And remember that YOU can cook, too!

If you want to have a go at today's recipe,

Who would you cook this for at home?

-My mum.

-Would she love it?

-Why would she like it?

-It's got lots of vegetables!

I can't believe you made it all by yourself!

Well done, everyone!
