It's great to be back!

-My name is Matilda. ALL:

-Tilly!

0:00:040:00:06

But people call me Tilly.

0:00:060:00:08

-Tilly!

-Tilly!

-I'm crazy about cooking.

0:00:100:00:13

-Mmm.

-Deliciousness! Yum!

0:00:130:00:17

Mad to mess about. Argh!

0:00:170:00:20

-And I've got the most embarrassing family ever! ALL:

-Says who?!

0:00:220:00:26

-Is it true you have a boyfriend?

-Argh!

0:00:260:00:28

SQUEALS AND LAUGHTER

0:00:280:00:30

Says who?!

0:00:300:00:32

You're so annoying! Dad's the chef.

0:00:320:00:34

Matilda, where's my frying pan, please?

0:00:340:00:36

-But I've taken over the kitchen in THIS house.

-What are you doing?

0:00:360:00:39

-I'm looking for my frying pan. Tilly?

-Tilly rules, OK?

0:00:390:00:42

-Mwah!

-Kiss me.

0:00:420:00:44

HE LAUGHS

0:00:440:00:47

We're back in the UK, in Cornwall,

0:00:500:00:52

and the whole Ramsay bunch loves messing about at the seaside.

0:00:520:00:56

-No eating seaweed.

-There's so many fantastic things to do here.

0:00:560:00:59

I'm cooking like crazy. This is fun! And writing my summer food blog.

0:01:010:01:05

And whether it rains or shines, everyone has a great time.

0:01:060:01:10

But there are some days here that are really special.

0:01:100:01:13

It's a big day today. It's Mum's birthday.

0:01:130:01:16

She's still asleep upstairs.

0:01:160:01:18

We've got to be quiet cos we're going to surprise her

0:01:180:01:20

with a breakfast in bed treat. But the big question is...

0:01:200:01:23

Holly, Jack and Megan are getting dressed,

0:01:300:01:32

while I cook up one of Mum's favourite breakfasts.

0:01:320:01:35

'Perfect fluffy pancakes for a birthday breakfast.

0:01:350:01:39

-'First, crack two eggs into 300ml of milk.'

-Hey, Tills.

-Ssh!

0:01:390:01:43

-Jack don't wake up Mum.

-Why not?

-Cos it's a surprise breakfast.

0:01:430:01:47

-What are you making, Tills?

-Pancakes.

-I LOVE pancakes.

0:01:470:01:51

-With bacon, some fruit and maple syrup.

-Bacon!

0:01:510:01:54

I might ask you to make the bacon for me.

0:01:540:01:56

I don't like the fruit part but I like the bacon and the pancake bit.

0:01:560:01:59

'Pour in melted butter and whisk. Then, in a separate bowl,

0:01:590:02:03

'add flour, baking powder...'

0:02:030:02:05

-And my sugar.

-Morning, all.

0:02:050:02:08

Ssh, you're going to wake up Mum.

0:02:080:02:10

-'With the gang all here, I'm putting them to work.'

-What's in there?

0:02:100:02:13

-So, this is the dry mix.

-Here you go.

-Thanks, Meg.

0:02:130:02:16

That's the dry mix and that's the wet mix

0:02:160:02:18

and you gradually add that in.

0:02:180:02:20

What does this have to look like when we're done?

0:02:200:02:22

-Silky with as little lumps as possible.

-Shall I do all the bacon?

0:02:220:02:26

Yes, please, Meg. Jack will probably eat it.

0:02:260:02:29

'We're having fried bacon

0:02:290:02:30

'and super-healthy blueberries with our pancakes.'

0:02:300:02:33

-Shall I get some tea ready?

-Yes, please, Jack.

0:02:330:02:35

-I'll have one, please.

-'Tea's Mum's morning favourite.'

0:02:350:02:38

Who's ready to make some pancakes?

0:02:380:02:40

These are like the American pancakes, the thick ones.

0:02:400:02:44

-I need a spatula.

-Anyone know where anything is in this house?

0:02:440:02:48

-Guys, stay quiet. Mum's trying to sleep.

-Sorry.

-Sorry, Mummy's girl.

0:02:480:02:52

Ooh, I'm not the Mummy's girl.

0:02:520:02:54

Usually, the first pancake is the one that goes wrong,

0:02:540:02:57

-but this one's actually quite good.

-Oh, check you!

0:02:570:03:01

'The thing I love most about making pancakes is tossing them.'

0:03:040:03:08

Can we have a competition, who can flip the most?

0:03:080:03:10

'Unless you're an expert flipper,

0:03:100:03:12

'make sure you have a grown-up around. Competition on.'

0:03:120:03:17

-Yes, Holls!

-Really, really high!

0:03:170:03:19

'Whoa, Megan nailed it!

0:03:220:03:24

'Now, I'm going to make Mum's pancake really fun.

0:03:240:03:28

'First a couple of eyes and a mouth.'

0:03:280:03:31

-We're making a smiley face.

-Can the bacon be the hair?

0:03:310:03:35

'Stick on the blueberry eyes with maple syrup.'

0:03:370:03:40

-It's so cute.

-Just take some pictures for the blog.

0:03:400:03:43

That looks amazing.

0:03:430:03:45

'Check out my funny faces, recipes

0:03:450:03:47

'and blog on the CBBC website.

0:03:470:03:50

'Ssh.

0:03:500:03:52

'I think the cooking was pretty quiet.'

0:03:530:03:56

-Ssh, tiptoe.

-Tiptoe.

0:03:560:03:58

'Time to sneak upstairs.'

0:03:580:04:00

-Who's got elephant feet?

-Ssh, tiptoe.

-It's tipping.

0:04:000:04:05

-ALL:

-# Happy birthday to you

0:04:060:04:11

# Happy birthday, dear Mummy... #

0:04:110:04:15

-A smiley face!

-# Happy birthday to you. #

0:04:150:04:19

-How come you've got more than me?

-That's for everyone.

0:04:190:04:22

-Mum gets the special one.

-It's Sunday morning, guys.

0:04:220:04:26

It's my birthday!

0:04:260:04:29

-We have pancakes with bacon, maple syrup and blueberries.

-Nice.

0:04:290:04:33

-And a cup of tea for Mummy.

-Bacon with maple syrup.

-Yes.

0:04:330:04:37

-Can you move up a bit?

-They're yummy! Can I get this every morning?

0:04:370:04:40

-No.

-Or at least tea in bed?

-They're nice.

-They're very nice.

0:04:400:04:44

What about my birthday breakfast? Can I put an order in

0:04:440:04:46

for a full English breakfast, please?

0:04:460:04:48

Why are we walking about your birthday when it's Mum's birthday?

0:04:480:04:51

-Sorry.

-It's so rude. Mum, is this a good way to start your birthday?

0:04:510:04:55

This is the best way to start my birthday.

0:04:550:04:57

Now I've eaten all those pancakes, we'd better do a long bike ride.

0:04:570:05:00

Mum loves the great outdoors, fresh air and exercise,

0:05:030:05:07

and with the whole family.

0:05:070:05:09

So, we're hitting the country lanes, Rumpole included.

0:05:090:05:12

Are you OK, Rumpy?

0:05:120:05:14

As it starts to rain, Mum and Dad head home

0:05:140:05:17

but the intrepid Ramsay bunch are on a mission -

0:05:170:05:20

Operation Birthday Present.

0:05:200:05:22

-OK, here we go.

-We're making Mum the perfect seaside pressie.

0:05:220:05:26

I think Mum will really like it cos we haven't done her

0:05:260:05:29

something like this before and it's quite unique.

0:05:290:05:32

-It's from the heart, literally from the heart.

-And it's homemade.

0:05:320:05:36

It's going to be a framed photograph with a special message.

0:05:360:05:39

First off, the guys are writing...

0:05:390:05:41

-..in the sand.

-Check it out!

0:05:420:05:46

-They're crazy, look.

-Stop mucking about, team.

0:05:480:05:51

Concentrate on building Mum's message.

0:05:510:05:53

The gang are taking care of the present

0:05:530:05:55

and I'm in charge of the food.

0:05:550:05:57

Eating together is one of the things that makes the Ramsay bunch happy.

0:05:570:06:01

The steak is good!

0:06:010:06:03

'So after tea and pancakes in bed for breakfast,

0:06:030:06:06

-'I'm cooking a special birthday lunch.'

-It's my birthday!

0:06:060:06:10

'This is one of Mum's favourite dishes -

0:06:100:06:12

'yummy chicken and prawn noodle salad.'

0:06:120:06:15

Wow, that looks beautiful.

0:06:150:06:17

And I'm making a birthday cake, of course,

0:06:170:06:19

and mine's got a hidden surprise or two.

0:06:190:06:22

Operation Birthday Present, phase two.

0:06:230:06:26

Oh, cool!

0:06:260:06:28

The team have done a great job on the message.

0:06:280:06:31

We've got three seconds.

0:06:310:06:33

'There's no way we're letting the rainy weather dampen our spirits.

0:06:330:06:36

'Selfie time!'

0:06:360:06:38

THEY CHEER

0:06:380:06:39

'I love cooking for big occasions.'

0:06:390:06:42

I'm making a surprise birthday cake for Mum.

0:06:440:06:46

The outside is super healthy and delicious

0:06:460:06:48

but hidden inside is a secret stash of her favourite sweets.

0:06:480:06:53

Jack!

0:06:550:06:56

'I'm getting Jack to be my assistant because this is an important cake.'

0:06:560:07:00

I'm going to start by creaming the butter and sugar together.

0:07:000:07:03

-All in?

-All in.

-All in.

0:07:030:07:05

'Whizz up the castor sugar and butter,

0:07:060:07:09

'add six eggs and self-raising flour,

0:07:090:07:12

'a dash of vanilla extract,

0:07:120:07:14

'baking powder and lots of citrusy lime zest.

0:07:140:07:18

'Next, the really surprising ingredient.'

0:07:180:07:21

Could you start grating some courgette into that bowl?

0:07:210:07:25

'Yeah, I'm making the cake with courgettes,

0:07:250:07:27

'which might seem a bit weird because it's a vegetable,

0:07:270:07:30

'but trust me, it's delicious.'

0:07:300:07:32

-You're a perfectionist, aren't you, Tills?

-Yeah.

-Just like Dad.

0:07:320:07:35

'My cooking's a bit better though!

0:07:350:07:37

'Add the grated courgette and mix.

0:07:370:07:40

'Done.'

0:07:400:07:42

-Oh, smell that.

-Mmm.

-That piece there.

0:07:420:07:44

-Every time!

-Every single time, you fall for the same trick!

0:07:460:07:51

I still haven't got you back, you know that.

0:07:530:07:55

'This is going to be a high-rise super-special cake,

0:07:550:07:59

'with four layers.'

0:07:590:08:00

Yes!

0:08:010:08:03

'Fill the cake tins.'

0:08:030:08:05

-We're a good team, Jack.

-Go, team!

0:08:050:08:08

'And bake in a hot oven for 30 to 35 minutes.'

0:08:080:08:11

All the Ramsays are into keeping fit, except Rumpole,

0:08:130:08:17

who prefers eating fit. AS RUMPOLE: Where are my sausages?

0:08:170:08:20

Mum and Dad love extreme sports and walks by the sea

0:08:200:08:23

and new boy Bruno can't wait to get some more beach action.

0:08:230:08:27

-No, no, it's like a Baby-gro.

-Happy birthday, Mum.

-Let's go, Munchkin.

0:08:270:08:31

-Have fun, Dad.

-OK, see you later.

0:08:310:08:33

-Ah, baby!

-Say goodbye. Right, focus.

0:08:330:08:37

-Love you.

-I love you too. See you later.

0:08:370:08:39

Phew, Mum's out the way.

0:08:390:08:42

'When the sponges are cooked, remove and cool.

0:08:450:08:48

'Then start building the cake.

0:08:480:08:50

'First, on a whole sponge,

0:08:500:08:52

'spread on some yummy yoghurt and cream cheese icing.

0:08:520:08:55

'Then, put two of the other sponges together.'

0:08:550:08:57

This is where the surprise comes in.

0:08:570:09:00

'And cut out a secret compartment in the middle of them

0:09:000:09:02

'to hide the surprise.'

0:09:020:09:04

Keep swirling that round.

0:09:040:09:07

'Uh-oh, Mum and dad are back!'

0:09:070:09:09

-Um, not allowed.

-Out!

-Out!

-No, no...

0:09:090:09:12

'Phew, it's just Dad.'

0:09:120:09:14

Let me show you something.

0:09:140:09:15

'Great, I'm getting another assistant. This will be good.'

0:09:150:09:19

If your filling's level, your cake will be level.

0:09:190:09:21

You have to look at it like that and you can see, look.

0:09:210:09:24

'Time for the second layer with the hole in, and the third.

0:09:240:09:29

'Fill up the secret compartment with some surprise sweets.

0:09:290:09:33

'Now seal it with the final sponge and get a dad to work.'

0:09:340:09:37

So, where did you learn this, Dad?

0:09:370:09:39

-I first started decorating cakes in Paris.

-Right.

0:09:390:09:42

And it was just birthday cakes for the restaurant.

0:09:420:09:45

'Starting to look impressive.'

0:09:450:09:46

I have to admit, Dad, it is fun doing this all together.

0:09:460:09:49

'The Ramsay team are coming up trumps.

0:09:490:09:51

'Icing done, we're sending Dad off

0:09:510:09:54

'to keep Mum out of the kitchen whilst we decorate.

0:09:540:09:57

'We're doing a heart and a letter T because Mum's called Tana.'

0:09:570:10:02

Do you know what's nice? It looks homemade, that's the thing.

0:10:020:10:04

Perfect. I'm going to get some pictures for my blog.

0:10:040:10:08

'These are sometimes called pinata cakes

0:10:080:10:11

'because of how the sweets fall out.'

0:10:110:10:13

And then I'm going to put that in the fridge to let it set.

0:10:130:10:17

Jack heads off to get birthday candles and balloons.

0:10:200:10:23

Megan and Holly get crafty.

0:10:230:10:26

Holls, shall we get some, maybe, shells,

0:10:260:10:28

and pretty things to put on the frame

0:10:280:10:31

cos Mum loves that kind of stuff.

0:10:310:10:32

They're going to frame the selfie, seaside style. Ramsay team, go!

0:10:320:10:36

I think Mum's going to love that.

0:10:360:10:38

-Shall we put the shells this way or that way?

-Probably that way.

0:10:380:10:41

-Oh, wow. Wow, it looks really cool.

-It's such a funny photo.

0:10:410:10:46

Mum loves exercising and being really fit and healthy.

0:10:470:10:51

This year, she did a triathlon race

0:10:510:10:52

where she had to swim 1.8km,

0:10:520:10:55

cycle 90km

0:10:550:10:57

and run 21km.

0:10:570:11:00

It took her over six hours. That's a serious race!

0:11:000:11:03

CHEERING

0:11:030:11:05

Naturally, Mum's into really healthy food

0:11:050:11:07

and this is one of her favourite dishes -

0:11:070:11:10

noodle salad with chicken, prawns and a yummy dressing.

0:11:100:11:14

She's going to love this for her birthday.

0:11:140:11:17

First, the dressing.

0:11:170:11:18

'Add sesame oil, rice vinegar...' This gives it a bit of sharpness.

0:11:180:11:23

'..soy sauce then chilli sauce to make it spicy.'

0:11:230:11:27

Mum doesn't like boring food.

0:11:270:11:29

'Honey, grated fresh ginger and whisk.

0:11:290:11:33

Dressing done.

0:11:330:11:35

'Add carrot shavings to cooked rice noodles.'

0:11:350:11:38

The carrots give it a really nice flavour.

0:11:380:11:41

'Then pop in your favourite chopped herbs and vegetables,

0:11:410:11:44

'along with cooked chicken and prawns.'

0:11:440:11:47

It's going to be a really bright and colourful salad.

0:11:470:11:50

'To get it all yummy, pour in the delicious dressing.'

0:11:500:11:54

Then mix the salad round.

0:11:540:11:56

Whoo. All the best bits hide at the bottom.

0:11:580:12:01

Now to add a bit of crunchiness on the top.

0:12:010:12:03

'Sprinkle on chopped peanuts and sesame seeds.'

0:12:030:12:07

Wow, that looks beautiful. Just going to take a selfie with it.

0:12:070:12:11

SHUTTER CLICKS

0:12:110:12:14

All the pieces are coming together for Mum's birthday lunch -

0:12:160:12:20

decorations, present and food.

0:12:200:12:22

My favourite things are always homemade.

0:12:230:12:26

Fingers crossed she's going to love them.

0:12:260:12:28

-Ta-da!

-ALL:

-Yay!

-Oh, wow!

0:12:280:12:31

Who made this cake? Oh, yum.

0:12:310:12:34

It's kind of a healthy cake but then it's not too healthy.

0:12:340:12:37

-Bon appetit.

-I'm starving.

-Bon appetit, guys.

0:12:370:12:40

It's colourful, it's crunchy. Delicious, Tills.

0:12:400:12:43

My favourite's the prawns.

0:12:430:12:45

-# Happy birthday to you

-Happy 40th birthday to Mummy

0:12:460:12:49

-# Happy birthday, dear Mummy

-Happy birthday, dear Grandma

0:12:490:12:53

# Happy birthday to you. #

0:12:530:12:56

Yay!

0:12:560:12:58

Oh, wow!

0:12:580:13:00

I love it!

0:13:000:13:03

That's brilliant! Does that say, "I love you"?

0:13:030:13:05

-It sure does.

-That is such a cool Cornwall picture.

0:13:050:13:09

-DAD:

-It looks amazing.

-Thank you so much.

-Now, cake time.

0:13:090:13:12

Something crunchy.

0:13:120:13:15

-Whose idea was that?

-Tilly's idea.

-It's like a Smartie avalanche.

0:13:170:13:21

-Pinata!

-Great idea, Tills.

0:13:210:13:24

-I love the lime zest.

-Happy birthday, Mummy.

-Thank you.

0:13:240:13:27

I think we made Mum's birthday pretty special.

0:13:290:13:32

Later tonight, the oldies are going out by themselves

0:13:340:13:37

and I bet they'll be all soppy and romantic. Urgh!

0:13:370:13:41

So, before Dad gets ready, I'm grabbing him for our foodie chat.

0:13:410:13:45

What a way of waking Mummy up - breakfast in bed.

0:13:450:13:48

I loved that. She was very happy as well.

0:13:480:13:50

The blueberries and the syrup - delicious.

0:13:500:13:52

And then the lunch - wow, that salad with the glass noodles.

0:13:520:13:55

-And the cake.

-The cake. Thank you for all those tips.

0:13:550:13:58

-It was really useful.

-I love the idea of cutting the cake out

0:13:580:14:01

-and filling it with fruit next time, maybe?

-Yeah, that would be good.

0:14:010:14:05

I think we did that for the birthday cos it's like a treat day.

0:14:050:14:08

What's it like working with Jack in the kitchen?

0:14:080:14:10

He's quite fun and he says I'm controlling but it's because

0:14:100:14:13

-I'm the one that invites him into MY kitchen.

-There you go. Your domain.

0:14:130:14:16

-Every time!

-Birthdays are special, right?

0:14:160:14:19

Yeah, I definitely think that the best way to spend your birthday

0:14:190:14:22

is with family and friends.

0:14:220:14:24

I totally agree, totally, totally agree.

0:14:240:14:27

-What do you think of Cornwall?

-I love it here.

0:14:270:14:29

-It's so nice and the beaches are amazing!

-Aren't they?

0:14:290:14:32

But the interesting thing for me, with three daughters,

0:14:320:14:35

if you go to the end of the grass,

0:14:350:14:37

you know there's a little church over there,

0:14:370:14:39

so maybe one day, you know...

0:14:390:14:41

HE LAUGHS

0:14:410:14:43

I know where this is going. Every time!

0:14:430:14:45

-But there's an amazing church on the beach...

-Every single time!

0:14:450:14:48

..to get married in and I was practising walking round there,

0:14:480:14:51

thinking I'm going to walk you down the aisle.

0:14:510:14:53

Good night, guys, and thank you so much for a lovely birthday.

0:15:000:15:04

-KIDS:

-Sweet dreams, Mum.

-And, guys, don't forget, it's my birthday next.

0:15:040:15:08

-And mine! ALL:

-Good night!
