0:00:02 > 0:00:03Hi. This is my life.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05'I love cooking.'
0:00:05 > 0:00:07They smell amazing.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10'My dad is a chef.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12'But I think I'm already better than him.'
0:00:14 > 0:00:18My name is Matilda Ramsay, but people usually call me Tilly.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19'Meet my...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21'embarrassing family.'
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Ramsay!
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Mum. She wears the trousers and is the only one Dad is afraid of.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I'm loving their hair.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Big sister Megan.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35'She's all grown up now and crazy to get on with life.'
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Jack. He's so good at sport, he'll be playing for Britain soon.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42This is Holly.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47She is determined to be the greatest fashion designer of her generation.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Dad.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Even though he's hard on the outside,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- he's soft and mushy on the inside. - Tut!
0:00:52 > 0:00:57And he's QUITE a good cook, too.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Er, excuse me! How about VERY?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Matilda! Matilda!
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 > 0:01:13Daddy, stop! No!
0:01:21 > 0:01:25'This summer, my whole family is spending the holidays in LA.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'Holly's best friend, Elspeth, is staying with us, too.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30'And we're having the best time.'
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Let's go. Are we ready?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36'LA is an amazing city
0:01:36 > 0:01:39'and we've been enjoying everything that it has to offer.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44'But, most importantly, I've been busy in the kitchen.'
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Really, really nice. - Really delicious.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49'And I've been letting my friends and everyone back home see
0:01:49 > 0:01:53'what I'm been doing by putting some of my food on my blog.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56'And, today, they'll get to see my chicken tikka skewers,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00'my amazing samosas and my yummy macaroons.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04'And I'm cooking them for an extra special occasion.'
0:02:04 > 0:02:06It's my gran's birthday today.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09'She's back home, but I've invited everyone over for a party
0:02:09 > 0:02:12'in her honour.'
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I've decided on a Bollywood party - great food, great fun
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and lots of loud music and dancing.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Oh, my goodness! Wow!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23'Like us, Gran is a bit crazy.'
0:02:23 > 0:02:24So it will suit her.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27'There's just one small problem...'
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Unfortunately, Dad is rubbish at dancing.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I can dance in the kitchen, but I can't dance to music.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Meg is quite good at dancing.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Holly...she likes it.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Jack is a bit like overconfident. He's like, "Yeah!"
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Mum just does a mummy dance.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46So, the big question is, if you've got no rhythm...
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Matilda! I love you, chef.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Oh, it's disappointing.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58'To make my party extra brilliant,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01'I've asked the guys to learn Bollywood dancing.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03'This could go very wrong.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06'The two movie capitals in the world are Hollywood in America,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08'which is where we are,
0:03:08 > 0:03:09'and Bollywood in India.'
0:03:09 > 0:03:11They're so good.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15'Bollywood films are famous for their elaborate dance routines.'
0:03:15 > 0:03:17This is definitely the right place. I can't wait.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19'But Bollywood isn't its real name.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23'It's a mashup of the word Bombay and Hollywood.'
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I can't wait to see you in the outfit.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29'Bombay was the Indian film capital, but it's now called Mumbai.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32'So really, the word Bollywood makes no sense.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38'In 2013, India celebrated 100 years of Bollywood films
0:03:38 > 0:03:43'and, as over 1,000 are produced each year, that's a lot of dancing.'
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Have you guys studied dance before?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Not really, it was a while ago.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49You were like, "Not Bollywood!"
0:03:49 > 0:03:53'I don't know if the teacher knows what she's let herself in for!'
0:03:53 > 0:03:55This is my Bollywood face.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02'Luckily, I'm safely in the kitchen ready to start my first dish.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05'That's if I can get Dad to stop messing around.'
0:04:05 > 0:04:08BOTH: Bang, bang, bang. Bang!
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- No, you missed the hand. - Come on then! Quick!
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Boom!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Right, Tilly, stop messing around. We've got work to do.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17'Remember, even if your parents are jokers like mine,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20'they like you to ask before you take over the kitchen.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24'Most Bollywood dance films are really colourful, vibrant,
0:04:24 > 0:04:25'and great fun.'
0:04:25 > 0:04:27And that's how I like my food.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Just like my chicken tikka skewers.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31'And don't forget,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34'you've always got to wash your hands before you get stuck in.'
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I'm going to start with making the marinade for the chicken.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So, first, I've got a bowl of plain yoghurt.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42'Then I'll add some cumin and chilli.'
0:04:42 > 0:04:45If you want more spice, you can always add more chilli.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50'Then it's tomato paste, ginger, coriander and spring onions.'
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Next, I'm going to crush the garlic.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55You need to be very strong for this.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Ramsays are pretty tough, but not super, super.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Dad thinks he is, though.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03'Next I'll add lime juice
0:05:03 > 0:05:06'and half a tin of coconut milk to add an exotic taste.'
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Mm!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Now it's time to add the chicken.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I'm going to make sure all the chicken is nice and coated.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I suppose it's like wearing a coat.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18'Once it's covered, pop into the fridge for about 30 minutes
0:05:18 > 0:05:21'to an hour to let the marinade soak in.'
0:05:25 > 0:05:28'Bollywood dancing is made up of lots of different styles of dance.'
0:05:28 > 0:05:32We'll first picture that we are on a Bollywood sound stage in Mumbai.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36OK? You guys are ready to go! You don't even need me!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39'Jack's dancing has a style all of its own.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41'Achintya has her work cut out with him.'
0:05:43 > 0:05:45'It's really popular in India
0:05:45 > 0:05:49'and, as it's the second most populated country in the world,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51'that's a lot of people who love it.'
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Open and close. Open and close.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56It's exhausting!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59'While the guys attempt to learn their moves,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02'it's time for the fun part in the kitchen.'
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm now going to start by getting a piece of marinated chicken
0:06:05 > 0:06:06and putting it on the skewer.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Next, I'm going to add a pepper.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I'm making up pattern of two pieces of chicken and then one vegetable.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15'But you can make any pattern you want.'
0:06:15 > 0:06:18This is going to be perfect for my Bollywood party.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21'Don't worry if you get messy, that's how it should be.'
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I always find a way to get dirty.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Somehow, I've even got the board dirty.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I really think Jack and Holly will like these, and Dad.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32'When you've finished touching raw meat,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34'it's very important to wash your hands.'
0:06:34 > 0:06:36It's now time to put them in the oven....
0:06:36 > 0:06:40'..for about 15 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42'Time for me to see what the others are up to.'
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Hey, Till. - Hello. What's on your head?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- A bindi.- Who's that dancing?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Jack and the teacher.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Hey, Tilly.- Hey, Jack.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Would you guys mind to pick me up some gold leaves?- Sure.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57'Thank you.'
0:06:57 > 0:06:58You're welcome.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Bye, guys.- Bye-bye.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04'The skewers have been in the oven for 15 minutes.'
0:07:04 > 0:07:06They look so good.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09'Be very careful because metal skewers will be really hot.'
0:07:09 > 0:07:12It's quite fun when you make your own pattern on a board.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16'They were so easy to make and look so colourful, just like I wanted.'
0:07:16 > 0:07:20I'm pretty sure Nan would love them, too, if she was here.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21'She's back in the UK,
0:07:21 > 0:07:25'but that won't stop us celebrating her birthday here in LA.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27'And she loves seeing these on my blog.'
0:07:29 > 0:07:32'The guys have hopefully learnt some great Bollywood moves.'
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I really enjoyed that. Probably one of my favourites so far.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I can't wait to show Tilly some moves.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40'And I can't wait to show them my next dish.'
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I love food that really packs a great flavour punch.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48My totally awesome samosas are little parcels of deliciousness
0:07:48 > 0:07:50that always hit the mark.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56This is the filling for my awesome samosas.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Mm! So good!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01'It's just mashed potato, vegetables and herbs
0:08:01 > 0:08:05'and a spice called turmeric gives it its lovely, yellow colour.'
0:08:05 > 0:08:08This will be great for our party because it's nice and bright.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10This is my filo pastry.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12It's like wrapping your presents up for Christmas.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16'And like wrapping paper, you can buy it in packets.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20'Put a dollop of mixture on and then fold it into triangle shapes.'
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Dad! What are you doing trying to sneak in?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I'm heating my coffee up.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Another one?!- Sorry! Excuse me!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30And what's happened to your hair again?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Have you called Nan to say happy birthday yet?- No, not yet.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I will do shortly. A little kiss, please.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38HE LAUGHS
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Dear, oh, dear!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Dad is so annoying like that.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45So back to what I was doing.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49You want to make them quite nice and fat because that's always better.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52This is a bit of an odd one, but never mind.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55'I've never been very good at neatly folding!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59'This one is more like a sausage and I can also see a snail
0:08:59 > 0:09:01'and maybe a bird.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04'I think it makes it more fun.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06'Next, I'll paint my samosas with oil.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09'Then it's time to pop them into the oven.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11'The party is really coming together.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13'There's just dessert to make now.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17'I hope my crazy brother and sisters remember the gold I asked for.'
0:09:17 > 0:09:18I'll go this way, you guys go that way.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21'Gold is a big part of Indian culture.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23'You can buy edible gold in supermarkets
0:09:23 > 0:09:27'and it doesn't cost the earth. I love it!'
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I have edible gold for decorating food and beverages.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31That will definitely work. Let's go!
0:09:31 > 0:09:35'15 minutes later and it's time to see how my samosas are doing.'
0:09:35 > 0:09:37They're such a nice golden colour.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Wow! I'm going to serve it with my raita sauce.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47It's basically just cucumber and yoghurt with a bit of mint.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50And it's really... Mm! ..delicious!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53'Now it's time to take pictures for my blog.'
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I'm definitely sending these pictures to Gran.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03'With the guys on their way home, it's time to get on with my dessert.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06'if SOMEONE stops distracting me, that is!'
0:10:06 > 0:10:09What are you doing, Santa Claus?!
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- You said you need me. - I said Mum!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Who's the real chef in the house?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Mum!- Oh, come on!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Bollywood is famous for going over the top
0:10:18 > 0:10:21so I'm really going over the top with my pudding.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Bollywood macaroons decorated with real gold.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Ooh, sounds fancy!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31This is a cracking recipe.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Why did the whale cross the ocean?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35To get to the other "tide".
0:10:37 > 0:10:39'First, I need to whisk up two egg whites.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42'Add sugar, vanilla and desiccated coconut.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46'Then it's time to make the cakes.'
0:10:46 > 0:10:48This coconut makes them seem quite exotic,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51maybe like it's a Bollywood outfit.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54'Then put them into the oven until the tops are golden.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58'And just in time! As the others are back with my gold leaf
0:10:58 > 0:11:00'and Jack is already showing off.'
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Headache. Fever! Fever!
0:11:03 > 0:11:04No! Fever!
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Whoa!
0:11:07 > 0:11:09'Now, for what I've been waiting for.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12'Time to decorate the macaroons with my gold leaf.'
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Time to try it, see if it really does taste nice.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16To be honest, you can't taste much.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19It just sticks to your tongue.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21'I'm going to use melted chocolate
0:11:21 > 0:11:24'and edible glitter to make my macaroons extra special.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27'But you can use anything you like.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30'Now for my special touch, gold leaves.'
0:11:30 > 0:11:33You make it nicely arranged on the top. That looks so pretty.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36It's like a little flower.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I bet Nan would love these cos Nan loves bling.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Wow! They look perfect and ready to serve at a Bollywood party.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46The gold is really showing up.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49'And as we are about to hold a party in Nan's honour,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51'it's time to call the birthday girl.'
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Hi, Tilly.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55ALL: Hi, Nan. Happy birthday!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Oh, thank you, children. That's very kind of you.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Nan, we're celebrating a party here for you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's a Bollywood theme.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Happy 70th, Nan!
0:12:04 > 0:12:05ALL: She's not 70!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Oh! How...how...?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Do you know what? You should never ask a lady her age.- OK.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Nan, Mum, happy birthday.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Bye. Love you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15See you soon. Love you!
0:12:15 > 0:12:19ALL: BYE!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21'Finally, the guests have arrived.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24'It's time to start my Bollywood party.'
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Everybody put some clothing on.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29You look lovely.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32This is a chicken tikka skewer.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Samosas as well.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Did you guys learn much at the dancing?- Loads.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Will you show me after?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Mm. These are so good.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43I've always wanted to go to India.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46The samosas are really good and fresh.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Normally, greasy and oily, but these ones were really nice.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Yeah, Tilly did well.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Real edible gold macaroons.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I never had gold before. This is my first time.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Oh, it's so good.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59It puts a Bollywood touch onto it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01These are honestly great.
