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 > 0:00:10- Ironman Tilly!- Ironman Daddy!
0:00:10 > 0:00:12'But I think I'm already better than him.'
0:00:12 > 0:00:14LAUGHTER
0:00:14 > 0:00:18My name's Matilda Ramsay but people usually call me Tilly.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Meet my embarrassing family.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Mum - she wears the trousers
0:00:24 > 0:00:26and is the only one Dad's afraid of.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27I'm loving the hair.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Big sister Megan.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32She's all grown up now
0:00:32 > 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 > 0:00:46She is determined to be the greatest fashion designer of 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 mushy on the inside.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57And he's...quite a good cook, too.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Excuse 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 cook up a storm.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10This is my world.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- No, Daddy, now we need... - LAUGHTER
0:01:19 > 0:01:22This summer we've come to Los Angeles and I'm doing a food blog
0:01:22 > 0:01:27about some of my cooking and what me and my crazy family get up to.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30My sister Megan's GCSE results are out tomorrow
0:01:30 > 0:01:33so I wanted to throw her a scary monster party
0:01:33 > 0:01:37and show her that it's not just exams that are frightening.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38I want to cheer her up.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39# M-Monster... #
0:01:40 > 0:01:43'My family loves to scare each other
0:01:43 > 0:01:45'and I've got loads of horrible masks.'
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Not bad but I think I might need something else for the party.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- 'THUNDER CRASHES' - And that's some frightening food!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55So, I'm making scary severed hands,
0:01:55 > 0:01:56terrifying goblin heads
0:01:56 > 0:01:59and really bloody cakes.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03My brother came up with the idea of this dish
0:02:03 > 0:02:06so I call it Jack's Severed Hands.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07'SCREAMING'
0:02:10 > 0:02:13This severed hand is just like a giant meatball.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16'In a bowl, soak bread in milk and add your minced meat.'
0:02:17 > 0:02:18I'm going to fry some onions.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23And add a bit of garlic to them.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26As my brother says, it keeps the vampires away.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29But I don't think he realises
0:02:29 > 0:02:31it also keeps lots of other people away.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36'When the onions turn golden they're ready to add to your mince,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40'along with some parsley, thyme, salt and pepper.'
0:02:40 > 0:02:43With all these herbs in, it's going to be really flavoured
0:02:43 > 0:02:45and especially with the onions.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51'Add in beaten eggs and give it a monster mix-up.'
0:02:51 > 0:02:54This is where it gets very messy and you have to roll up your sleeves.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56It's quite monstrous.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Mwa-ha-ha-ha!
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Eurgh!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05It's a bit like very runny Play-Doh.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08'When it's all mixed together, shape into hands.'
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I'm grabbing
0:03:11 > 0:03:14a big, a big meatball.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20And flattening it down in the shape of the palm of your hand here.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23'Then add the fingers and, if you're like me
0:03:23 > 0:03:25'and you're taking over the kitchen,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28'don't forget that your grown-up would like you to ask them first.'
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I suppose this will be very handy at a monster party.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34It's really cool!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Dad's very strict about me washing my hands
0:03:36 > 0:03:39cos you need to be really clean.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Put them in the oven to cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47CAR HORN HOOTS
0:03:47 > 0:03:50To make my monster party go with a spooky scream,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I'm sending Megan, Jack, Holly and her best friend, Elsabeth,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56off to get horror movie makeovers.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Hello?- Welcome.- Hi.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I hear you guys want to become aliens and monsters?
0:04:04 > 0:04:05- Kind of.- Yeah.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Great.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Los Angeles is home to the blockbuster movie.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12There's nowhere better when it comes to amazing make-up
0:04:12 > 0:04:13and special effects.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17This is for the stage show for Lady Gaga for her meat dress.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh, wow!
0:04:19 > 0:04:20- Can we touch...?- Whoa!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- That is so realistic. - Yeah, you can touch everything.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26That's Samuel L Jackson from The Avengers movie.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Jack, I didn't realise you were in here.- Oh!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30When did you do that?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33This lab has worked on everything, from Pirates Of The Caribbean
0:04:33 > 0:04:37to Star Trek, so Holly and her best friend, Elsabeth, are in good hands.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38'THUNDER CRASHES'
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Every alien needs pointy ears.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42LAUGHTER
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Kevin is going to turn Holly into an alien monster.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Not much make-up needed.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49LAUGHTER
0:04:49 > 0:04:51And Brad is turning Elsabeth into a zombie.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Then afterwards I'm going to start colouring her and spattering her
0:04:55 > 0:04:59with colours and blood and all the normal things that zombies get.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Creating amazing make-up looks takes ages.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10They're going to have to sit VERY still for two whole hours.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Obviously Holly puts on loads of make-up all the time
0:05:12 > 0:05:13so she probably wasn't expecting it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18She was probably expecting just a mask but it's very fun to see
0:05:18 > 0:05:21all that make-up getting ruined and Holly just being annoyed.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23It's always funny to watch,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25as a brother, it's why I'm here.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28LAUGHTER
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Whilst they're being kept busy in make-up
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I can get on with the party food.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35'THUNDER CRASHES'
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I love carving pumpkins for Halloween
0:05:38 > 0:05:42but my goblin heads are pretty awesome, too, and they're delicious.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43'THUNDER CRASHES'
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Start by carving a small face, scary face.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52This is just like what you do with pumpkins but smaller
0:05:52 > 0:05:53and on a pepper.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56There are my two eyes on the pepper.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Now it's time for the spooky smile.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59'THUNDER'
0:05:59 > 0:06:00'Careful with sharp blades...'
0:06:00 > 0:06:03And now I'm just going to cut over the top.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05'..we don't need any more blood with this food...'
0:06:05 > 0:06:08And just a bit on the bottom so it stands up.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10'..or severed limbs.'
0:06:10 > 0:06:13This one's more of a sadder face.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Ah. - RINGING
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Hi.- Hi, Jack. Hello, Meg.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27How are you?
0:06:28 > 0:06:29'Good thanks, how are you?'
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Good.- 'Hello?'
0:06:31 > 0:06:32- BOTH:- Argh!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Who's that?- Holly.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37That's Holly.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- You look a little bit poorly.- Wow.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Well, we'll see you guys in a little bit.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- See you later.- Bye!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Bye! Scary.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Oh, look at these faces.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Oh, that one looks quite sort of sad and scary.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Yeah.- I'll leave you to it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK, see you in a bit, Mum.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01'Mum's gone, so it's time to stuff my goblin heads.'
0:07:01 > 0:07:03You need to get your rice mix.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06'I've got spring onions, mozzarella cheese
0:07:06 > 0:07:09'and black beans in my cooked rice but you can use anything you like.'
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Doesn't really matter if it goes on the tray.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Might look a bit like its brains are coming out.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16'SCREAMING'
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Now I just need to get some whizzed-up tomato sauce.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Looks like blood.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23'This is just cooked tomatoes, onions and herbs.'
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I think today's going to be a day of splatting red stuff around the food.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30'Put them in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.'
0:07:32 > 0:07:34'Before the others get back, my mum is going to give me
0:07:34 > 0:07:37'a monster makeover of my own.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39'Well, she's going to do my nails, anyway.'
0:07:39 > 0:07:41How's Dad with scary stuff?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43He's a bit of a wuss, isn't he?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46When we watch scary movies I do catch him closing his eyes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50This isn't the colour I'd usually choose.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53But I suppose it is monster.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- I hope that's not a criticism of the painting, Till.- No.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01This is a very cool colour, I love this.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- You're busting to go back in the kitchen, aren't you?- Mm-hm.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Right, like this.- Thanks, Mum. - Can you please remember
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- they will take a couple of minutes to try.- Whoops! I got it on my leg.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21My bloody cakes are a great gory end
0:08:21 > 0:08:23to any monster party.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24I think they'll be scary enough
0:08:24 > 0:08:25to frighten my sisters.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27'SCREAMING'
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Put the butter in.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31'Then add in sugar and whisk.'
0:08:33 > 0:08:34I'm whisking them up a lot
0:08:34 > 0:08:36to make sure they're nice and fluffy.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41'Next, add in a teaspoon of vanilla, one egg yolk, salt,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44'self-raising flour and finally creamy buttermilk.'
0:08:44 > 0:08:46And slowly add it in.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50'Scoop the mix into the greased cupcake trays.'
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I'm going to make a little pattern on the top.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55'And pop into the oven for around 20 minutes.'
0:08:59 > 0:09:02My brother, sisters and Elsabeth are on their way back.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Tilly's going to be so scared.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07'SCREAMING'
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Let's go.- Let's go!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Hey, Titch, how are you?- Hey, Jack, good, thanks, how are you?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Hey, Till.- Eurgh!- Hey, Till.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- MUM:- Go and grab Daddy. - That's disgus...
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Go and get Daddy to see it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Stand up, girls.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Can I take a picture on your thing, Tilly?- Eurgh, you look gross.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Eurgh, you look like a fish gone wrong.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Eurgh!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Finally, a forehead that's got more wrinkles than mine.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44LAUGHTER
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Holly and Elsabeth look scary but Dad's definitely the craziest.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Ironman Daddy.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Daddy, go away.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Ironman Daddy.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Come on!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Ironman Daddy.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I've got to a stage where I'm ignoring it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Any chance of a cup of tea, please, darling?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07O-oh, what is going on?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10'If you're a grown-up who likes to cycle in the house...'
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Ironman Daddy!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15'..please check with a responsible child first.'
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Ironman Tilly.- Ironman Daddy!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Ironman Tilly.- Ironman Daddy.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Ironman Tilly.- Ironman Daddy!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Ironman Tilly!
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Whoo!
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Ironman Daddy.- Ironman Tilly.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34'Kitchen clear of crazy Ramsays, back to the baking.'
0:10:34 > 0:10:38They don't look scary at the moment but they're going to in a bit.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Start by poking a hole to about the middle of the cake.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Fill it with the strawberry jam that looks a lot like blood.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Then frost them on the top.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52'Then edible glitter for a sinister sparkle.'
0:10:52 > 0:10:56I like the way the glitter goes in between where I've iced.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Wow, I'm really happy with this one.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01'THUNDER'
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I'm decorating the sides to make it look like blood.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07The gorier the better.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12That's pretty cool.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15'Check out some of my recipes on the CBBC website.'
0:11:18 > 0:11:21'All of my scary food is ready for my monster party.'
0:11:21 > 0:11:22'SCREAMING'
0:11:22 > 0:11:25All I need now are the aliens and monsters to set the table.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28MUSIC: Summer by Calvin Harris
0:11:29 > 0:11:30I'm a fruit fly.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35'SCREAMING'
0:11:37 > 0:11:39This is a severed hand.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41APPLAUSE
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Looks really gory, Tilly. Like, really gory.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's basically a giant meatball.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Shaped in the hand.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Wow.- Would you like to take a head?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56'I hope this takes Megan's mind off exam stuff.'
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Tilly, this is really good.- Thanks.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Mm, it's monstrously good.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Titch, will you promise to make these all year round?- Yeah, sure.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08'SHRIEKING AND SCREAMING'
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Argh!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Aa-aa-argh! Oh.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Sorry, sorry! OK...
0:12:15 > 0:12:18'Pulling tights over your head? That's not even scary.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20'That's just weird.'
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Sorry.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Seriously, he is like a little kid.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Now it's time for dessert and my blood-filled cupcakes.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32'SCREAMING' Thanks, Till, these look amazing.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Tasted amazing. - And it definitely looked like blood.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I love the icing with, like, the little black dots on them.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Kind of gave a spooky... - Ten out of ten.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43That was really, really good.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Right, guys, we're going to do light as a feather, stiff as a board.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- What is that?- Everyone on the grass, you'll see.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51'It's a magic effect that works spookily well. '
0:12:53 > 0:12:57'You can lift up your friends with just your fingertips.'
0:12:57 > 0:12:59LAUGHTER
0:12:59 > 0:13:03'Make sure whoever you're lifting really is as stiff as a board.'
0:13:03 > 0:13:05LAUGHTER
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Go, light as a feather, stiff as a board.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14LAUGHTER
0:13:19 > 0:13:22My monster food went down frighteningly well.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26The only scary things left are Megan's GCSE results.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Now it's time for a catch-up with Dad.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Dad, these are the photos of the recipes I made today.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Wow.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Eurgh!
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Whose hand is that?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- It's a monster hand.- A monster hand.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Ah, I've got it. HANDBURGER.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44HE CHUCKLES
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- That's a good one. - It is a good one, isn't it?
