0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hi, this is my life.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05I love cooking.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07They smell amazing.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08My dad's a...
0:00:10 > 0:00:13But I think I'm already better than him.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15My name's...
0:00:15 > 0:00:17but people usually call me...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Meet my...
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Ramsay!
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Mum, she wears the trousers
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and is the only one Dad's afraid of.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28I'm loving the hair.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Big Sister, Megan.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31She's all grown-up now
0:00:31 > 0:00:34and crazy to get on with life.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Jack - he's so good at sport
0:00:37 > 0:00:39he's going to be playing for Britain soon.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42This is Holly.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44She is determined to be
0:00:44 > 0:00:45the greatest fashion designer
0:00:45 > 0:00:47of her generation.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Dad - even though he's hard on the outside,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52he's soft and mooshy on the inside.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56And he's quite a good cook too.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Eh, excuse me. How about "very"?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Matilda.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Matilda!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05When you're the youngest, you have to fight to get noticed,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07so that's why I love to...
0:01:08 > 0:01:10This is my world.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12# Waltzing Matilda! #
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Hold on tight.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22It's summer, and me and my crazy family
0:01:22 > 0:01:23are spending it in LA.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Let's go. Are we ready?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Holly's best friend, Elspeth, is with us too.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33And we're enjoying everything in America...
0:01:36 > 0:01:40And best of all, I'm spending lots of time in the kitchen.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Really, really nice. - Really delicious.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And some of the amazing things that I'm cooking are going to be
0:01:45 > 0:01:48on my blog for my friends and everyone back home to see.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Today, I'll be sharing my Drummer Sticky Ribs,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Big Beat stars and Pop-Power Brownies.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59And there's a good reason for the poptastic food.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02As well as cooking, I'm really into music.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I play the drums.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Tilly, get inside!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12So today, I'm throwing a pop party, complete with a karaoke machine.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18The only problem is, the rest of my family are virtually tone deaf.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24My dad tries to be into music but he can't sing.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28# Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me. #
0:02:28 > 0:02:30He can't dance and he can't play an instrument.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32But the big question is...
0:02:39 > 0:02:43To make my pop party the best ever, my brother and sisters
0:02:43 > 0:02:46are going to a famous recording studio in LA
0:02:46 > 0:02:48to make a special song for the party.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Wow!- Wow!
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Lady Gaga actually did her debut album in this room.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58She still dressed as crazy as she does now.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Everyone knows that LA is the film capital of America
0:03:02 > 0:03:05but it's also the home of the American music industry.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09We also have an isolation booth right back there.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13The singers who come here use the booths to record in total silence.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16HE SCREECHES
0:03:16 > 0:03:17SILENCE
0:03:17 > 0:03:18THEY LAUGH
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Maybe they should leave Jack in there.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Luckily, I'm far away from his racket in the kitchen.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28My Drummer Sticky Ribs are so good,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32I have to hide them from Dad or he'll eat them all.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36They smell amazing whilst they cook, so I'm worried he'll sniff them out.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40I'll start by making a BBQ sauce.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41This is so easy.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It's just putting all the ingredients in a pan, really.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Add onions, garlic, chilli-flakes and fennel seeds.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Fennel tastes quite strange.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53It tastes a bit like liquorice.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Then it's sugar, soy sauce and LOADS of ketchup.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00600 grams or a really big squirt.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Ketchup bottles always make rude and funny noises.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05SAUCE SQUELCHES
0:04:05 > 0:04:06That'll be ready soon.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08And remember,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11if you're going to take over the kitchen like me,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13adults like you to ask first.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Leave the sauce to simmer and get the meat ready.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20These are pork ribs and they're super popular in America.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Add salt and pepper.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25These are the bones to the ribs
0:04:25 > 0:04:28and that's why you call them...
0:04:28 > 0:04:31..because, once all the meat's gone, it looks like drumstick.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Remember to wash your hands before and after touching raw meat.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36(They smell delicious.)
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I knew you'd smell them.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40I can smell something delicious.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Oh, la, la!
0:04:42 > 0:04:43What are you doing to my kitchen?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Em, let me show you a little trick as well.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Boom!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Mmmm.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55I'm out of here.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- I'll see you soon.- Bye.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01With Dad out of MY kitchen, I can get on with cooking.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Daddy, go!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I just...
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Save me six. They smell delicious.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13They smell... Ahhhh!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- I knew he'd come in...- (Ahhhh!)
0:05:16 > 0:05:19He always does, especially when it's ribs.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21With Dad finally gone,
0:05:21 > 0:05:22cover the ribs with tinfoil and
0:05:22 > 0:05:25put into the oven for...
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Easy!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I hope my brother and sisters are getting hungry.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34They're busy making a special song for me,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36and first they have to record a backing track.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Each instrument has to be recorded separately,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44and, next, it's Megan on the tambourine.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Excuse me, you're not the tambourinist.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Martin from Coldplay
0:05:50 > 0:05:53had sat in that chair, or Elton John.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55And now Megan Ramsay!
0:06:02 > 0:06:03That was great.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Back in the kitchen, my pop party food is coming along nicely too.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Hi, Mum.- Ah, when did you get these in? They look...
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I got them in very nice and early.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Oh, wow!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Can I do a Daddy?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Wow!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Now to get these on my blog.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26My brother and sisters are going to love these.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Ribs are Jack's favourite.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33At the studio, the guys are about to write the words
0:06:33 > 0:06:35to the song for my party.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37We're Ramsay on a mission to...
0:06:41 > 0:06:43This is hard, isn't it?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46"Now, it might seem silly but our sister's called Tilly..."
0:06:46 > 0:06:50The trouble is, they decided to make it about me
0:06:50 > 0:06:52and I'm dreading what they'll come up with.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55"Up at dawn, she's out of her mind."
0:06:55 > 0:06:57"Throwing strops of every kind."
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Yeah!
0:06:58 > 0:07:02"She's our crazy sister who we want to kick in the behind."
0:07:03 > 0:07:06OK, say that all again while I write it down.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12But even if I don't like the song,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14they'll love what I've cooked for them.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It's nice to mix things up sometimes
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and I like savoury biscuits
0:07:18 > 0:07:20just as much as sweet ones.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I'm pretty sure that my savoury Big Beat Stars
0:07:23 > 0:07:25will hit the right note.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Get it?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29First I'll add flour and cheese.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Remember to leave a little bit at the end for sprinkling over.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Then it's rosemary, sugar,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37baking soda and salt.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39This is really quite easy.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Just add all the ingredients and then you get
0:07:42 > 0:07:45your hands in for a mix.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47It's like a cloud of smoke.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49In goes the butter.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Then it's more mixing.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54It's like you're grabbing it like a crocodile.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Now add buttermilk.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It's all squidgy, like monster hands.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Now flatten it out and cut out the shapes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I went for this shape because it's more rock star themed.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It's more dazzling.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Then pop them on a tray.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Rock on!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Finally, brush them with buttermilk, add cheese
0:08:20 > 0:08:22and pop them in the oven for...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26At the recording studio, the gang are about to
0:08:26 > 0:08:30record the song they're making for my party.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Ready, watch him, watch him, ready.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35# Now, I'm writing silly, our sister's called Tilly. #
0:08:35 > 0:08:37# She came here.... we're on holiday. #
0:08:37 > 0:08:40THEY LAUGH
0:08:40 > 0:08:45It's going to be tough because this lot just can't be serious.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I'm sorry. Someone can't read.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Oh, dear!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I hope they can pull it together.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I need an extra ingredient,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58so I'm going to have to interrupt the masterpiece.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02PHONE RINGS
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Hi, Meg!- Hi, Till.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Could you get me some cocoa powder, please?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Cocoa powder. Yeah, sure. And we'll see you later.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Goodbye, Miss Sassy. - See you in a minute.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13While they get back to the song,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I'm getting back to my savoury biscuits.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Wow, definitely looking amazing.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22This is the fun bit. I'm going to give them a pop star look.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Cut stars from the cheese and ham.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I suppose it's going to be a bit...
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Get it?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32These look so super.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I've got to get them on my blog.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Just in time, the guys are back with my cocoa.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Now I'm ready to make my...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47The brilliant thing about brownies is you can make them
0:09:47 > 0:09:50your very own by putting whatever you like inside.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I'm adding sour cherries for an extra kick.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57This will make it really nice and fluffy.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59First, cream some butter...
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Add sugar...
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Now it's melted dark chocolate...
0:10:02 > 0:10:07I'm pretty sure Jack's going to love these.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Mmm. Amazing.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I might be doing a lot more tasting of the chocolaty things, you know,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15just double-checking.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Add vanilla extract,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20then flour, cocoa powder,
0:10:20 > 0:10:21a small pinch of salt...
0:10:21 > 0:10:23and five eggs.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25This is going to be an eggcellent recipe.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I absolutely love brownies.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32And they are so easy to make.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Mmm.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Fold in the sour cherries, then pop in a baking dish
0:10:36 > 0:10:38lined with grease-proof paper.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Thick and sticky is perfect.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Oh, no!
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I dropped it down my leg and down my skirt.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Whoops!
0:10:49 > 0:10:53When you've glooped it all in, pop the mixture into the oven for...
0:10:55 > 0:10:58While that's in there, I'll clean the kitchen up.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04And, as there's a lot to get ready, everyone is helping out.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Well, everyone except Jack.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I'm nearly ready for my pop party.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Mmm. It smells delicious.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Something smells really good.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18This is the finishing touch - the decorations.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Sprinkly stars and my favourite...
0:11:22 > 0:11:24space dust.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Here they call it Pop Rocks.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Perfect for my pop-rock party.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36That's my poptastic feast ready.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I hope it hits the right notes.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Finally, the guys have arrived.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45OK, I'm hungry, Tilly.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46CLAPPING
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Wow!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50These are the barbecued ribs.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Oh, look at those.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55These are savoury biscuits.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Cooked to perfection. Well done, Titch.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I like the ribs. The barbecue sauce was really good.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01It's like a drumstick.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Tilly, these biscuits are really good.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07They're delicious.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08CLAPPING
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Dive into my super-duper pop-power brownies.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12De-licious.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Soft, sour and beautiful.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16THEY CHEER
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Everyone loves my brownies.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Even Mum can't resist them.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Goodness, what chaos.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- How was it?- Good, thanks.- Delicious.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Jack, Holly, Elspeth, we've got something to show Tilly.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Uh-oh!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31This song is dedicated to Matilda.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33That one right there.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35THEY CHEER
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It's time to hand over the mic to you guys.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17# I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. #
0:13:17 > 0:13:19She's shocking.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24THEY SING
0:13:24 > 0:13:26She should stay in the kitchen
0:13:26 > 0:13:28and leave the singing to us, to be honest.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39I love you, Ken!
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Good job, girls!
0:13:49 > 0:13:51After a day in the kitchen,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I love a foodie chat with Dad.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56But he's at work so I'm video calling him.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Hello!
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Did you see the photo I sent you of the sticky ribs?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Those ribs looked delicious.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06They looked like they were falling off the bone.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's sort of like traditional English scones,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10but over here, they call them biscuits.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14They were in star shapes with star ham and star cheese.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Wow, wow, wow. That's nice.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16What did you do for dessert?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Pop-power brownies.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20You're turning out to be bit of a...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Dad, I've got one more question.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26If you're doing karaoke, do you have to be a good singer?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29The good news about karaoke is that you can be the worst singer
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- in the world... - Yes, that's what I was thinking.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34But you can still have fun with it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- Do you know when they invented karaoke machines?- No.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41After they heard Mummy singing.
