Hello! Nice to see you.

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

It's going to be a really delicious one.

And I hope that you're going to join in.

KNOCK-KNOCK

A-ha... Come in!

ALL: Hello, Katy!

Come in! Hello, Swroop. Hi, Dejaughn. And Ronnie. Come in.

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

ALL: Yes!

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

three cheese and cress muffins!

ALL: Mmm!

But before we start there's something we have to do.

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

# Sleeves rolled up

# Apron tied

# What can you do? I can cook! #

-Let's get started. Is everyone ready?

-ALL: Yes!

OK, the first thing we have to do to make our muffins is crack an egg.

We're going to knock on the door.

Knock-knock-knock.

Ooh, look...

Whoo-pow!

The next part we have to do

is make a monster claw. Raarrrr!

Can you be a monster as well?

Rarrrrr!

Show me your monster claw.

Bring your bowl into the middle of your mat,

pick up your mug with your egg in it,

turn your monster claw upside down,

and pour the egg through your hand

because we only want the egg white and we're going to catch the yolk.

-The yellow bit?

-That's right.

CHILDREN LAUGH

And then put your yolk back into your mug,

and we can use that in another recipe.

Our hands are all messy now, so give them a wipe.

So we've got our egg white, and now we need to give it a...

-ALL: Whisk!

-A whisk.

So put your whisk in the bowl and get whisking!

-Can you see all the bubbles?

-ALL: Yes.

Come on, you can go much faster!

Whizz it around like a roundabout.

I've got so many bubbles! It's like a bubble bath.

I haven't got any more bubbles.

Keep whisking until it's light, foamy and bubbly.

Can you whisk at home too?

You get a bowl, and a whisk, and you...whisk, whisk, whisk!

So when it's all bubbly, we can add some milk.

So pour your milk in...

Whee!

And, we can add some oil.

-Oh, look at that!

-Eurgh!

Now you need to add a pinch of black pepper...

Wait! Wait, wait, wait.

We've got to do our pinchy fingers. Pinch-pinch-pinch-pinch!

And you can do pinchy fingers at home. Pinch-pinch-pinch!

So, take a pinch of pepper...

What does pepper do?

Make you sneeze.

Make you sneeze?!

-Taste peppery.

-It gives it loads of lovely flavour.

So then we whisk all of that up.

-That's what I'm doing.

-You're ahead of the game, Dejaughn.

And can you do some more mixing with us?

Look at my one!

Wow! Yours is so fluffy.

Mine's always fluffy.

Look, Ronnie's dancing as she whisks. Let's dance like Ronnie.

Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo...

The next thing we need to do is put our cheeses into our mix.

We've got cheddar,

Italian hard cheese,

and we've got feta.

We're using three cheeses because they'll add loads of flavour.

Cheddar is a cheese that we use on things like toast.

Has anyone ever had cheese on toast?

Really tasty and smooth, and it's all melted.

So let's put all our cheeses into our dry bowl.

So we've got some flour, and now let's add in the cheese.

And then use your fork to give it all a good mix.

And don't forget to mix with us at home.

Get your bowl, and your fork, and you mix, mix, mix.

What ingredient do you think we need next?

What is next? Well, 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...

..an alien?!

Eurgh. We don't want to eat an alien, do we?

Let's try again. The special ingredient is green,

and it's got little tiny leaves.

So, could it be...

..a little tree?!

We're not going to eat a tree.

Come on, we'll try one last time. The special ingredient is green,

it's got leaves,

and it tastes really lovely when we put it in a salad.

So, it must be...

cress! The special ingredient is cress.

We're going to need cress for our three cheese and cress muffins.

Cress is something that you can easily grow,

and you don't need a garden.

It doesn't need a lot of space, but it's a lot of fun.

The first thing you need is a container.

Use an old eggshell,

or a clean yogurt pot like this one I've got here.

The first thing we need to do is put some kitchen towel in the pot.

And you need to make it wet, so drop it in some water

and make it all soggy.

Then put it in your yogurt pot, like that,

and then sprinkle some cress seeds on top.

You can get cress seeds from supermarkets or garden centres.

And then, put your little cress garden

somewhere with plenty of light where it's warm, like a windowsill.

Soon, you'll have cress growing out of your mini garden!

Why don't you have a go at doing it at home?

Come on. Let's get back to the cooking.

-So we've all got some cress...

-ALL: Yes.

And we're going to snip it up, with some scissors.

Be safe with scissors, everyone knows,

point them down towards your...

-ALL: Toes!

-That's right. So let's get snipping.

So make the cress into lots of short pieces.

And don't forget to snip with us at home -

get your snippy fingers, and you... snip, snip, snip!

So when you've snipped up all your cress,

put it into your cheesy mixture.

You can go like this, bang-bang...

Bang-bang-bang-bang.

-Has everyone put their cress into their bowl?

-Not all of it.

Well, we've got to get mixing now, with the fork.

Can you mix with us at home?

Remember, you get your bowl, and your fork, and you...

mix, mix, mix!

Now we're going to add the mustard powder and the baking powder.

Do you know what baking powder does?

Making it rise.

Make it rise. It's a magic ingredient.

Shall we all rise up?

These are the muffins in the oven, and then they go woooo....

Can you join in with us? Ready?

And...

Wooooo!

So sprinkle it in...

And this is our dry bowl, because it's got all of the dry ingredients.

So now we need to put our wet bowl into our...

Dry bowl!

So pick your wet bowl up... And you can join in with us.

Whooosh!

Sloppy-doppy!

Then use your fork to mix it all up.

CHILDREN LAUGH

Look at Ronnie's!

Oh, look at mine. It's big and fat.

The last thing is to spoon the mixture into our muffin tins.

And to do this, we have to play the two-spoon game.

So, we get two spoons, like this,

and you scoop up a big dollop of the mixture in one spoon...

..and then we use the other spoon to scoop it into our muffin tin.

Who's going to be the first to finish?

-Me!

-Me!

-It's going to be me.

So just squish them into a nice shape.

OK, so put the very last bit in. Quickly, give it the last squash...

And that's it. You've done it.

You've put all the ingredients together

for three cheese and cress muffins, all by yourself.

It's time to put our three cheese and cress muffins in the oven.

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

Ask a grown-up to help you here.

Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick. Who's first?

And while we wait for them to cook, there's one thing left for us to do.

ALL: Wash up!

That's right, we've got to do all the washing up. Let's go.

# 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 that we've done today? We've...

-Cracked.

-Separated.

-Stirred.

-Spooned.

Haven't we done a lot?

PING!

Mmm! I've turned the oven off,

and I'm about to take our three cheese and cress muffins out.

Whilst 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 made of metal. You can use it to make things bubbly.

And, you can use it to mix things.

Do you know what it is?

That's right! It's a whisk.

Which we used to mix the egg white

in our three cheese and cress muffins.

Did you guess? Well done!

And here they are! All ready to eat.

You've cooked your very own three cheese and cress muffins!

So shall we have a look at them? One, two, three...

Wow-ee!

One, two, three...

Wow. Look what you made!

Let's have a look at yours. One, two, three...

Wow!

He's got the biggest one!

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

-Who's hungry?

-ALL: Me!

One muffin is just enough - you can save the rest for later.

Oh, yummy! Let's see which cheeses you can see.

-I can see...

-Oh, the feta?

The strong flavours one.

Who can see the cress?

-I've found one here.

-Ah... There you go.

What made them rise up in the oven?

-Baking powder.

-That's it, the baking powder.

It smells like my uncle's Christmas pudding.

-What can you do?

-ALL: I can cook!

And remember, that YOU can cook too.

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

you can find it on our website.

Ronnie, your muffins are much flatter. What did you do?

-I kept doing that...

-Did you squash them down?

You've got so many muffins! They all look so good.
