0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's great to be back.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06My name is Matilda.

0:00:06 > 0:00:07- Tilly.- But people call me Tilly.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Tilly!

0:00:11 > 0:00:13I'm crazy about cooking.

0:00:15 > 0:00:16Deliciousness.

0:00:17 > 0:00:18Mad to mess about.

0:00:21 > 0:00:25And I've got the most embarrassing family ever!

0:00:25 > 0:00:26Says who?

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Is it true you have a boyfriend?

0:00:30 > 0:00:31Says who?

0:00:31 > 0:00:33You're so annoying!

0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Dad's the chef.- Matilda, where's my frying pan, please?

0:00:36 > 0:00:38But I've taken over the kitchen in this house.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41- What are you doing?- I'm looking for a frying pan. Tilly.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42Tilly rules, OK?

0:00:42 > 0:00:44- We need a referee.- Go take your seat.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Wrestle you to the ground!

0:00:51 > 0:00:55We're in sunny LA, which has some of the best beaches in the world.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Doing what makes me happy.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Cooking like mad, and writing my food blog.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04But today's a bit different.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11After too much sun and excitement, I'm feeling like a faded surf dude -

0:01:11 > 0:01:12wiped out!

0:01:14 > 0:01:17So I decided to take it easy, and challenge my big sisters,

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Megan and Holly, to cook my recipes for me.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Oh, it's so sticky.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24This'll be fun, anything could happen!

0:01:25 > 0:01:28So I guess, the question is, if you're not a confident cook,

0:01:28 > 0:01:30can you make delicious food?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Jack, Megan and Holly are hitting the beach to cook up a storm on

0:01:37 > 0:01:40the barbecue, hopefully!

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Guys, we've got the barbecue.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43We're all sorted, let's make camp.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47Whilst I do some vital work catching up on my food blog, out of the sun.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Megan and Holls are doing the cooking,

0:01:52 > 0:01:54and Jack's going to learn how to fly his new gadget.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57You guys are doing the food,

0:01:57 > 0:01:59why don't you show Tilly what you're made of?

0:01:59 > 0:02:01You'd better be hungry when you come back!

0:02:01 > 0:02:03I'm already hungry!

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Megan and Holly are making my Californian fishcakes...

0:02:06 > 0:02:11..sweet and zingy salad, and grilled summer peaches with goat's cheese.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Can't wait!

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Jack's meeting drone expert Luis,

0:02:17 > 0:02:20who's going to give him some cool tips.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24- How are you?- Good, thanks, how are you? My name's Jack.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Drones are mini flying helicopters with built-in cameras.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31I've brought mine here today, but I'm literally just starting out.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Because there're so many people here

0:02:33 > 0:02:35and you're just starting, so we had better go like,

0:02:35 > 0:02:37where there is not a lot of people.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39You've got to know what you're doing with drones,

0:02:39 > 0:02:40and you've got to be careful.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48My sisters love cooking, but always try and avoid the hard, messy jobs.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49OK, we'll go rock, paper, scissors.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51So they're doing rock, paper, scissors

0:02:51 > 0:02:54to see who gets their hands seriously sticky.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56BOTH: Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Megan wins.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Have fun, my little one!

0:03:03 > 0:03:06They're making my Californian fishcakes.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10Holly has a gruelling job of mashing up the fish with her fingers.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Add poached fish to cooked potatoes.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15We need to show them that we can actually cook.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Next, chopped parsley.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18- All to get in.- Ew.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Ha-ha ha-ha.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Celery.- Give it a little bit more of a mix.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25And chopped chives.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27They're going everywhere, I'm sorry!

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- We're neater than Tilly. - She makes a right mess.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Tilly is so messy.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33I'm not messy! I'm just creative.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34I hope everyone likes these.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I can't believe you're doing this, Hols.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Crack two eggs into the mix.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Uno.- Stop putting egg on me, Megan.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Sorry. Meg, this isn't actually that bad.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48You're getting into it, there's still a few big potatoes, though.

0:03:48 > 0:03:49Add salt and pepper.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Whoa, easy on the salt, Meg!

0:03:52 > 0:03:56- I'm sorry!- Seriously!- It's the wind!

0:03:56 > 0:03:59Right, I'm going to add in some breadcrumbs now. You ready?

0:03:59 > 0:04:00- Yes.- Mix, mix, mix, mix.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02All right, Megan, you help me now.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Please. Come on, then.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Holly!

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Come on, girls, get stuck in.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Oh, it's so sticky!

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Squash the fishcake mix into round balls.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16There we go, perfect.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18And flatten into patties.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Megan, yours are way too small.

0:04:20 > 0:04:21No, Holly!

0:04:21 > 0:04:22That one is perfect!

0:04:22 > 0:04:24No, it's not, it's tiny!

0:04:24 > 0:04:26We've made a right mess.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32- I think we should get Tilly to wash up when she gets back.- Definitely!

0:04:32 > 0:04:33No way, girls, it's my day off!

0:04:33 > 0:04:35So, fishcakes ready to go.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Why don't we go and wash our hands, beach style?

0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Let's go.- Don't get your trainers wet.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45- And again!- I did warn you!

0:04:47 > 0:04:49I love cooking.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Let's fly. So, start it.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Everything is basically the opposite, right.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04If I go up, it's going to come to us.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Always remember, the red at the front.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11So have the red coming towards us.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14You get amazing aerial footage with the drone!

0:05:14 > 0:05:15Wow!

0:05:15 > 0:05:19And Jack's getting some awesome selfie tips.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Can you just, like, lay down,

0:05:20 > 0:05:22just like you are laying down on the beach.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24And look like the camera is spinning.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32So much fun!

0:05:42 > 0:05:46All right, perfect peaches on the beaches.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48You're a poet, and you didn't even know it!

0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Oi, oi!- My sisters are making one of my favourites desserts ever.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Half your peaches, take out the stone,

0:05:55 > 0:05:57and be extra careful when using the knife.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00- And then you twist it like that... - And use your spoon

0:06:00 > 0:06:04to scoop out the stone in case it hasn't popped out already.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Then, drizzle with olive oil.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Perfect.- And season with salt and pepper.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Some over the left shoulder for good luck.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Shall we do a little bit of mixing?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Go on, then.- All right, then grab your tong.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Watch your hair, Megan!

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Cook the peaches for a couple of minutes each side.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23What's the best barbecue you've ever been to?

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- I'm not sure.- I do think that it has to be on the beach,

0:06:26 > 0:06:28I think they are the best barbecues.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30But keep an eye on them, otherwise they can burn.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Too late!- They cook very quickly, so you have to be speedy.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Fill each peach with creamy goat's cheese.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40And crush some almonds to sprinkle on the top.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Hi, girls.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Hey!- How was the drone?

0:06:45 > 0:06:46We got some awesome footage.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Are you hungry? - I'm so hungry.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Well, do you want to try a flower?

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Oi, Jack, don't throw them away! You can eat them!

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Ladies, what is this?

0:06:55 > 0:06:57- That was just our tester. - A burned peach?

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Ah, well you have to make some mistakes to be a good cook.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01Drizzle honey.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05I really hope Tilly likes these.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Scatter over the edible flower petals.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09It makes it look pretty.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Perfect! That is done.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11They look really nice.

0:07:11 > 0:07:12I can't wait to eat them.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17I'm feeling better,

0:07:17 > 0:07:20so I've arrived to check out how Meg and Hols are getting on.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Nice of you to show up!

0:07:23 > 0:07:25You cannot have anything to eat.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27The chef always has to check the food.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29You're not the chef this morning.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31- What's it look like? - Presentation is amazing.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32It looks like... um...

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Megan, are they criticising our food? I'd like to see you cook.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Out of the kitchen.- It's just so easy winding up my sisters.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44- No! - LAUGHTER

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Ah! You're flicking sand at me.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49What a catch!

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Chop off your toes, scratch your back,

0:07:51 > 0:07:54throw the ball, give it a whack!

0:07:54 > 0:07:55- Out!- It was in.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Out.- There's no out!- 2-0, Matilda.

0:07:58 > 0:07:59Has everyone got suncream?

0:08:02 > 0:08:06Under the arms. Meg, arms out like a scarecrow, you know how it's done.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08Guys, who is that on the jet ski?

0:08:11 > 0:08:13No prizes for guessing.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Yay, Mum and Dad are really arriving in style.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19Typical Dad.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Morning.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Good morning.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24That's one way to come and see you.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Dad's plan is to use a jet ski to go fishing and Jack's bagged a ride.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Right, are you ready, want to go out to the second buoy.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35There's a strong current out there.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Potential fish, halibut, bonito, and mackerel.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40OK, on a jet ski you've got to be very careful.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Dad is really strict on safety stuff like this.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47- I'm driving, you're carrying the rods.- Awesome. Let's go.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Dad's so annoying.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Sorry. Sorry. Oh, that's my squid!

0:08:53 > 0:08:55But if they catch a fish, we're having sushi.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00While the boys go fishing,

0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'm going to take it easy and leave Meg and Holly

0:09:02 > 0:09:05to make my perfect beach salad.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10- So we have...- mango.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12It's so simple.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Just three ingredients and a dressing.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18I love mango, it's so...mm, refreshing.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Next we then have blueberries.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Don't you think you can pretty much have any fruit you like?- Probably.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Then, add salad leaves to the fruit.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Simple.- OK, Meg, here is the dressing.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33Maple syrup, olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Perfect.- But don't dress the salad until the last minute.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Instead, cover it with foil to keep it fresh.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43- What do you think, Hols? - Pretty good job.- Awesome.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51OK, here goes.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52Watch your backs, fish.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Oh, I've got a bite.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00- I have.- Whoa, looks like it's a big one.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03Bad luck, Dad.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Look, I think they're coming in.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Any fish? Any luck?

0:10:16 > 0:10:19I think the pelicans caught more than we did.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Nothing? So you're not, like hiding a fish up your life jacket?

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I think he jinxed me. First time fishing on a jet ski.

0:10:25 > 0:10:26- Yes.- And the last?!

0:10:26 > 0:10:28No sushi for us, then.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34I am starving.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36- What's for lunch? - Here are the fishcakes.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Wow, they look nice.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41Just like me, Dad is right in there quizzing the new chefs on what

0:10:41 > 0:10:43- they've been up to. - Maple syrup, lime, olive oil,

0:10:43 > 0:10:45a little bit of salt and pepper.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47He can't resist taking over a bit too.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Normally, Tilly would be doing this, so...

0:10:50 > 0:10:53..I love helping Megan and Holly out.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Coat the fishcakes with olive oil.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59These are nice and firm so they should hold.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02They'll get really nice and crispy on the outside.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05The secret here is not to turn them too many times.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Or they'll fall apart.- That's right.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Us girls will just sit and sunbathe.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13The most important thing about being on a beach is getting organised.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17You get your knife and fork at ten o'clock, six o'clock, fishcake.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Dad is such a chef.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21He is obsessed with presentation.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Five o'clock, salad, then a bit of sauce

0:11:23 > 0:11:25on the fishcake when it goes on to the plate.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Yes, so it's like a little mini banquet on the beach.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31It's sometimes useful to have Dad come in and take over.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Right, lift the barbecue, come on.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36He does steal all the glory so it's a bit annoying.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Off. Wowzer!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Look at that.- It's very easy to do, isn't it, Dad?

0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Well, whoever bound them together did a very good job.- Thank you!

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Next, add dressing to the salad.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49It's so easy to make that salad, it's only three ingredients.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Thanks for letting me get involved. I'm not good at being a spectator.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53We could have done this.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55I know but I'm not very good at being a spectator.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57We wanted to do our meal.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Two minutes please, table six, two minutes.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Dad, we're not in your restaurant now!

0:12:02 > 0:12:04I'm going to lift the lid

0:12:04 > 0:12:07and I want you to just drop fresh lemon juice on top, let's go.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Closer to it.- Dad! Go and sit down! - I'll take them off.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13This is the crucial moment.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15No, no. Dad, no you're not.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Go away.- No, we need a referee.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Go and take your seat, please.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23'Now Megan and Holly know what I have to put up with from Dad,

0:12:23 > 0:12:24'but I'm rescuing them.'

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- I'm wrestling him to the ground. - Thanks, Till.

0:12:26 > 0:12:32- Bye, Tilly.- You've got to let me finish, this is my favourite bit.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34I want to do it!

0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Sit down.- This is the chef's favourite part. Ouch!

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Tantrum! Attention seeking.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Don't flood it with the sauce!

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Mummy, Tilly?- One, please.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50These recipes are going to be on my blog, even better.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Check it out on the CBBC website.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Thanks, Meg. Thanks, Holly.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Great colour on the fishcakes, Hols.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Thank you.- Yum.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Till, do you give us the approval?

0:13:08 > 0:13:09It's really good, yeah.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12I tell you what, it's a rather sophisticated fishcake
