0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hi! This is my life.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05'I love cooking.'
0:00:05 > 0:00:07They smell amazing!
0:00:07 > 0:00:08'My dad's a chef.'
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Ironman, Daddy!
0:00:10 > 0:00:12'But I think I'm already better than him.'
0:00:12 > 0:00:14SHE GIGGLES
0:00:14 > 0:00:17My name's Matilda Ramsay, but people usually called me Tilly.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Meet my...
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Ramsay!
0:00:23 > 0:00:26..Mum. She wears the trousers and is the only one Dad's afraid of.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I am not kissing you when you're like that.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Big sister Megan...
0:00:31 > 0:00:34She's all grown-up now and crazy to get on with life.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Jack... He's so good at sport,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40he's going to be playing for Britain soon.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This is Holly...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45She is determined to be the greatest fashion designer
0:00:45 > 0:00:47of her generation.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Dad...
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Even though he's hard on the outside,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53he's soft and mushy on the inside.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57And he's...QUITE a good cook, too.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Uh, excuse me, how about very?
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Matilda!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Matilda!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05When you're the youngest, you have to fight to get noticed.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So that's why I LOVE to cook up a storm.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09This is my world.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Boo! Right, Tilly, stop messing around. We've got work to do.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22'This year, me and my family are spending our summer in Los Angeles.'
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Right, Ramsays, are we ready? - 'And it's...
0:01:28 > 0:01:31'We're throwing ourselves into the Californian lifestyle
0:01:31 > 0:01:33'and everything it has to offer.'
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Mmm! 'And the best thing is that I'm cooking up some amazing food.'
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Thank you, Tills. Delicious.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41'And I'm sharing it with my friends
0:01:41 > 0:01:45'and everyone back home by putting some of it on my blog.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48'Today I'm cooking for a family lunch.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51'Holly's best friend, Elspeth, has been staying with us,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54'but she's going back to the UK.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56'So I am making classic LA street food...
0:01:57 > 0:01:59'Chicken noodle salad,
0:01:59 > 0:02:00'delicious dumplings
0:02:00 > 0:02:02'and ice-cream cone cupcakes.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05'This kind of food is super yummy
0:02:05 > 0:02:08'and super fashionable here in California.'
0:02:08 > 0:02:10They say that people of Los Angeles
0:02:10 > 0:02:13are some of the best-dressed in the world.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15'And my sisters want to join them.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17'They're mad about fashion.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19'My brother...
0:02:19 > 0:02:21'Well, you can see for yourself!'
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Don't even start... Dad!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25You'll probably pick out, like...
0:02:25 > 0:02:27a bright pink...shirt
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and some bright green shorts.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32But, luckily, in this city, anything goes.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34But the question is...
0:02:41 > 0:02:42'As it's Elspeth's last day,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- 'the girls are hitting the shops.' - Hi!
0:02:45 > 0:02:46'They're meeting up with Justina.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50'She's one of the hottest teenage fashion bloggers in America
0:02:50 > 0:02:52'and she's agreed to show them what's cool in LA.'
0:02:52 > 0:02:53ALL: Hi.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58'First up they're going for a hair makeover.'
0:02:58 > 0:03:00This summer, everybody here is rocking the French braids
0:03:00 > 0:03:02because they're a really fun and edgy way
0:03:02 > 0:03:04to get your hair out of your face.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06And a great way to throw some colour into your braids
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- is to do extensions. - Extensions?- Yes, please.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14'The record for the longest ever hair extension is 820 metres!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17'That's nearly 3,500 computers in a row.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20'Hopefully the girls won't go that long!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24'While they get the perfect LA look,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26'it's time for me to make some perfect LA street food.'
0:03:28 > 0:03:31'Oodles of noodles is what we like in this house.'
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Oodles of noodles.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36'This is my chicken noodle salad.'
0:03:38 > 0:03:40'First, I'm preparing the chicken.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44'Remember to wash your hands before AND after touching raw meat.'
0:03:44 > 0:03:47And after, you must clean the chopping board, as well.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50'Marinate in soy sauce and hoisin sauce.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52'Every piece needs to be coated.'
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Now I'm covered in chicken and sauce.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57'Leave that to marinate -
0:03:57 > 0:04:00'anything from ten minutes to overnight in the fridge.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02'Then get your cooked noodles.'
0:04:02 > 0:04:05In goes some carrot, lettuce...
0:04:05 > 0:04:09'Add radish, cucumber, pepper and coriander...'
0:04:09 > 0:04:12It's quite strange, cos the Americans call it "cilantro"
0:04:12 > 0:04:14and we call it "coriander".
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- AMERICAN ACCENT:- Cilantro.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18'Next, more herbs.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21'This is really easy.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24'It's just all your favourite vegetables mixed up.'
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Wow, the colours are starting to look amazing.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33'Across town, the girls are right on trend with their LA braids.'
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- What do you think?- It's good.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37It's really cool.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It's like I have racing stripes attached to my head.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43'And when you look this good, there's only one thing to do...
0:04:43 > 0:04:44'Snap it!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50'I can't wait to see their LA look later.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56'Now to finish my chicken noodle salad.'
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I can hear the chicken starting to sizzle.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01'While that cooks, I'll dress the salad.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06'I'm using a dressing made from olive oil, lime juice and spices.'
0:05:06 > 0:05:10It'll make it all zingy and nice and delicious.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12'Add sesame seeds to the chicken...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15'..then put it on the salad.'
0:05:15 > 0:05:17But, oh, this bit won't fit on...
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Whoops!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22'My chicken noodle salad was quick, easy
0:05:22 > 0:05:24'and it's super colourful.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26'Perfect LA street food.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31'Across town, the girls have the hair.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35'Now they're hitting a cool retro shop to find the clothes.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39'LA is the film capital of America
0:05:39 > 0:05:43'and home of the most expensive red-carpet outfits.'
0:05:43 > 0:05:45This is really pretty.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49'In 2014, Jennifer Lawrence wore 3 million worth of jewellery
0:05:49 > 0:05:51'to the Oscars.'
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I'm loving this.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- 'Hello, cool cat.' - CAT MEOWS
0:05:56 > 0:05:58'LA loves retro and quirky, too.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01'And the girls are looking for brilliant and cheap clothes
0:06:01 > 0:06:03'that they can personalise.'
0:06:03 > 0:06:04How about something like this?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I'll look like a tree!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Look at the thing behind!- Whaa!
0:06:08 > 0:06:09THEY GIGGLE
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Ooh!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- My God! Is this a dressing room? - Yeah!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20'Back at the house, I'm TRYING to get on with my next dish.'
0:06:20 > 0:06:21- Pots away!- No.- Oh!
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I think these are, just maybe,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30the best dumplings in the entire city.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Dad thinks his are the best, but mine are the business!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37'Dumplings are basically just little parcels of yumminess.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40'I'm using ready-made dumpling wrappers.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42'You can get them at oriental supermarkets.'
0:06:42 > 0:06:45First you get the rolling pin to make it a bit thinner.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48You get your mix... 'I made this earlier.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50'It's just fried vegetables, spices and sauce.'
0:06:50 > 0:06:53A tiny bit of water, so it doesn't get too wet.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56And now just folding over the dumpling,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00squeeze it together - a bit like a clamp.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02And that is a perfect dumpling.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05'I'm putting a wooden steamer in a pan of boiling water
0:07:05 > 0:07:08'to heat while I'm making the rest of the dumplings.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- 'Oh, no!' - Well, that smells nice.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Daddy, there's nothing in there. It doesn't smell of anything.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- The smell of bamboo! - 'Dad loves dumplings!'- Smell bamboo?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- 'He just can't stay away...' - Let me show you something.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23No, I'll just show you mine.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Flatten the ends...
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I knew this would happen.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- There you go. A little bit of water. - Dad, I do know how to do this.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I know. I'm just showing you a different way.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Boom!- What is that?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- That's a dumpling. - It's a caterpillar!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Matilda!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41FIRE ALARM
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Oh, no!
0:07:42 > 0:07:43It wasn't me. I was...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Oh, man!- I was doing it...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Matilda!- I was perfectly fine until you came in,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50decided to give me a masterclass.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- HE RAPS:- Yeah, but, yeah, but...
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Right, see you later.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Can you go, please, before there's another problem?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Enjoy! See you later. Don't burn the steamer!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Dad is SO annoying.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04'Remember, don't let your adult or anything else
0:08:04 > 0:08:07'distract you when you've got something on the stove!'
0:08:07 > 0:08:10So...I'll show you how to do dumplings.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14'And they won't be weird wrinkly ones like Dad's!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16'That's my dumplings ready to steam.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19'I wonder if the girls have found the perfect LA look...'
0:08:19 > 0:08:20- Hey, guys!- Hi!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22'How's the cooking going?'
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Good, thanks.- Look at the hair.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25- We've all got these.- 'Wow!'
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Oh, no. Dad's coming. Hide!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30First of all, Tilly's burnt the bamboo.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Ha-ha! Nice one, Till.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33No, it's my time now.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- It says GR time. - This is my FaceTime.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- I need to ask them... - 'It's my time!'
0:08:37 > 0:08:39'It's MY time!'
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Bye, Dad. You can go now.- But...
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Bye, Meg.- Bye, Dad. Bye, Till.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Oh, I accidentally dropped your dumplings on the floor.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- You dropped my dumplings on the floor?- Love you, bye.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52JUSTINA GIGGLES
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I am so sorry. That's my sister and my dad.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56That's exactly like my family, it's fine.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- 911.- The door is over there!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02'With Dad finally gone,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04'steam the dumplings for about five minutes.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07'In the clothes shop,
0:09:07 > 0:09:11'the girls are looking like natural models.'
0:09:11 > 0:09:12And, pose!
0:09:14 > 0:09:16OK, smile.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Right, can someone help me get out of this?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21'I can't wait to see the clothes later.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26'Back in the kitchen and the dumplings are ready.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29'I'm serving these with a soy sauce and sesame dip.'
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Yum. Can't resist trying one...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It's really good.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37These are really good.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41'But, sadly, I can't eat them all
0:09:41 > 0:09:43'as they're for Elspeth's leaving lunch.'
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Tilly! Till!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Hey, guys.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49We've got some stuff to do...
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- What are you doing?- ..but we will see you in a bit.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Girls' stuff...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55'I'll go and finish the cooking.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- My cooking.- Your cooking? You can't cook.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- I can.- You can't. - I cook better than you.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Is it an ice cream?
0:10:04 > 0:10:05'No!
0:10:05 > 0:10:09'It's a cupcake made to look like an ice cream. Genius!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12'First mix up some butter and sugar...'
0:10:12 > 0:10:15You need two egg yolks and one whole egg.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16'..vanilla,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20'then it's flour, cocoa powder and baking soda...'
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Quite nice and slowly, so it doesn't go everywhere.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I can't resist eating it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26I definitely can't.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30'..add buttermilk...' Looking good.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I know Jack loves chocolate cake.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35'Now add the cake mix to the cone.'
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Jack, get a spoon and make yourself useful!
0:10:39 > 0:10:40OK! Sorry!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43The whole point that these are so special
0:10:43 > 0:10:45is that this part smells like ice cream...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Oh, really. Why's that?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49If you smell it now...
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- TILLY GIGGLES - I got you!
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Good way to get him out of the kitchen!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10'Now pop them in the oven for 20 minutes.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15'Upstairs, the girls are customising their clothes.'
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Do you just cut it like this?- Yes.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19They're not going to bite you, I promise.
0:11:19 > 0:11:210h, oh!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Get out! This is girls only!
0:11:23 > 0:11:24One leg's longer than the other!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26THEY LAUGH
0:11:26 > 0:11:29'And they're using sandpaper to give them a distressed look.'
0:11:29 > 0:11:32And you have DIY'd your muscle tee.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35'I can't wait to see the results!'
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Oh, wow!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39They're really looking like ice creams.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41'Now it's decorating time.'
0:11:41 > 0:11:44This is a cream cheese icing. Yum.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48'I'm also adding sprinkles, just like on a real ice cream.'
0:11:48 > 0:11:50They're really quite convincing.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Is it an ice cream? Is it a cake?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56'One thing for sure - they're totally delicious
0:11:56 > 0:11:59'and perfect for Elspeth's leaving lunch.'
0:11:59 > 0:12:01'The food's ready.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04'Justina's joining us and it's time to round everyone up.'
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I'm going to go and get Mum and Dad.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07It is lunchtime!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Waltzing Matilda!
0:12:09 > 0:12:10One more time!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Waltzing Matilda!- Aah! - Waltzing Matilda!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Aah!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Right, jumping jacks now!
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Whoa!- Wahey!- Come on!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22'It's Elspeth's last meal with us before she heads home.'
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Elsie P!
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Don't go! Stay! I know we're going to miss you.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29'Here's the chicken noodle salad!'
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Dumplings!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Till, it's delicious. I love the crunch in the salad.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I really like that you put the carrots in.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It breaks up the colour of the salad. It's really pretty.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Ooh!
