0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Hi, I'm Matilda.- I'm Matilda! - I'm Matilda!
0:00:04 > 0:00:06I'm Matilda.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Cooking is what I love best.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11SPLASHING
0:00:11 > 0:00:12- Oh!- Oh-ho!
0:00:12 > 0:00:13She cooks, she scores!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15FOOTBALL CROWD CHEERS
0:00:15 > 0:00:17- Hi, I'm Matilda.- Goodbye, Jack.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'm in charge of the kitchen in this house.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21No, no, Tilly...
0:00:21 > 0:00:23SHE SCREAMS
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Get out of my kitchen!
0:00:27 > 0:00:30This is the story of me, my crazy summer...
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Woo!
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Whoop!
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I'm on the red carpet and I'm about to meet the star of the movie.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Mmm!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39..and my even crazier family.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41ALL: What?
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Tilly rules, OK?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44HORNS SOUND
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Mum, please take him away!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49SHE LAUGHS
0:00:54 > 0:00:56We're in sunny LA this summer,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59and my top three things ever are - cooking like crazy...
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Writing my food blog...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And going on unexpected adventures.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05And Tilly the winner!
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Woo!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Today Dad's taking us on a surprise trip.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12He can be a bit of a trickster sometimes,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14but he does come up with great things to do.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18So the big question is, are surprises always good?
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Come on, guys.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Let's go on a very special trip.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- I'm not telling you where.- Yay! Shopping!- We are not shopping.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Dad's dragged us out of bed at seven in the morning for this!
0:01:29 > 0:01:33But there's nothing better than a good car karaoke session
0:01:33 > 0:01:35for blowing away the cobwebs.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37# Can't stop the feeling... #
0:01:37 > 0:01:38For most of us anyway.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40# Dance, dance, dance
0:01:40 > 0:01:42# Can't stop the feeling
0:01:42 > 0:01:44# Dance, dance, dance... #
0:01:44 > 0:01:46But Dad's trip better be worth it.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Are we water-skiing?- No. No, no.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Something really exciting.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Time to see what Dad's got in mind.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Look over there. It's fishing!- Yes!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Not everyone's as happy as me.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- No.- Mum?- No, I don't want to!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- You've got Holly and I up here to go fishing.- Come, come.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Dad and I love fishing,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08but Mum and Holly have never done it before, and they're not happy.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Tilly, you're not going to fish, are you?- Yeah, I am.- Course she is, come on.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Oh, dear.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15I'm sure we can win them over.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Isn't that beautiful? Let's go. Bugs out.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20You never know, they might even enjoy it.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- OWL:- Oh, yes, yes.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Holly?- Yeah.- Hold the worms, please. We need the bait.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Holly, can you smile, please? - I'm always smiling.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28We're thrilled.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32This part of the lake here is famed for a bear in the mornings.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35# If you go to the woods today, you'll be for a big surprise... #
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Are you seriously singing?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40We may not have bumped into a bear, but Dad has arranged for us
0:02:40 > 0:02:44to meet a couple of local experts to show us the ropes.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Gentlemen, good morning.- Morning. - How long have you been fishing?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- I've been fishing since I was four.- Wow.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- What's the biggest fish you've caught?- My biggest bass is a 9.3.
0:02:52 > 0:02:549.3 pounds?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56That's nearly as big as you.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I should tell you now that most fishermen are very competitive.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02You're obviously a keen fisherman.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Why don't us four go against you two?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- I'll do it.- Tana, are you ready? - I've never been more ready.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Let's go.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11OK, it looks like it's a Lake Piru challenge.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Team Great Britain, the Ramsays...
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Oh, my goodness.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19..versus team USA, Jackson and his dad, Andy.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Let's go, Jackson.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Life jackets and rods on board, we've hardly left the quayside
0:03:24 > 0:03:27and both teams are already talking tactics.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- What are you going to throw first? - Drop shot.- Drop shot?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33If you could make sure you keep this area clear, we could just sunbathe.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36We should have them follow us to a crummy spot, tell them
0:03:36 > 0:03:38that's where the big ones are.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39- All right. - And then go find a good spot.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- We're going to take you to the best spot!- OK, thank you.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44ANDY LAUGHS
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Tilly, we are going to beat the Americans, come on.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Jackson, we cannot let them beat us.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53The dads are so competitive.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Team Ramsay have to hook a fish,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58and not just to preserve our great British pride.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Dad's planning on barbecuing this morning's catch for lunch.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03We need to be quiet now. We're coming to the space.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Drop anchor here, Jackson?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Yeah, you're going to have a hard time staying in one place if you don't throw the anchor.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09SPLASH
0:04:09 > 0:04:11That's all the fish gone now.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Lake Piru is in the Los Padres National Forest, and apart
0:04:14 > 0:04:20from fish and bears, there's lots of other amazing wildlife on its banks.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- What are they?- Bison.- Did you not see those two things there?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Coyotes.- Are they quite scary, coyotes?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29You don't get more back to nature than this, Hol.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32But Dad's keen to get the wildlife even closer to home.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Should I use a live worm?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- That's personal preference. - Wriggle, wriggle.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40The American team aren't giving us any tips.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43All right, Jackson, let's put a whuppin on 'em. No mercy.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46We cannot be beaten by the Americans, come on.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Work your magic, man.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Jackson and his dad, Team USA, regularly land huge fish
0:04:52 > 0:04:55and trophies with their fishing expertise,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58but Team GB have got two reluctant novices.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I have no idea what to do.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Dad's trying his best to make sure all four of our rods are in competent hands.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And then just gently flick it out.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10So, guys, we have got to catch a fish.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13So, what makes a good fisherman?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15This is called drop shotting.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19You have a weight on the end of your line that drags the bottom,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22cos you have a hook that holds the plastic worm
0:05:22 > 0:05:26and you're kind of bouncing it from up top here, enticing a fish to eat it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30It's a real slow, delicate, finessed technique.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Casting out.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Why didn't that go?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Well, because you forgot to let go and you haven't put the bail arm over.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37THEY LAUGH
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Watch out. Tana, please be careful. Safety first.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44You have to have knowledge of the fish that you're fishing for.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- I've got slimy stuff. - No, that's called seaweed.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50We don't really talk that much, you know, it's like we're focused.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Jackson, have you stitched me and put me in the wrong area?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Dad, be quiet!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Tell you why we've got nothing, cos you're just being so loud.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I have taught a couple of my friends how to fish,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01and ever since all they want to do is fish.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Holly?- Yes?- Are you enjoying your first time fishing?- No.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Because we're not catching anything.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It's moments like this that you will reflect in many years to come,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11first fishing experience.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12HE LAUGHS
0:06:12 > 0:06:16And memories of Daddy hanging a worm out of his mouth.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19An hour in, and Team GB have got nothing.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21But then it seems our luck is changing.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I think I've got a fish.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29It's seaweed! Oh, I thought I had a fish.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Oh, I think I've got one.- Go, Mum! Our first fish!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Oh, no, it came off.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Gordon, I've definitely got something now. Look at my rod.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Oh, you have.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Seaweed. Not as tasty as fish.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Gotcha!- I think our captain's lost it.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Jackson! Got one bunny!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Dad's usually so competitive, but he really has gone nuts!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Yes! It's plastic.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Do you know what?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It would be so relaxing to go fishing if you weren't here.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Who's hungry?- So hungry.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I think we're going to have to wrap this up and go and get some lunch.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Us Brits head back to shore with no fish, but four rumbling tummies.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- The Americans are returning as well. - I wonder if they're fishless.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- OK, guys?- What happened?- Nothing. - Nothing? Nothing for us.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Yeah, it was hard.- Yeah, it was horrible. The wind made it tough.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21A no score draw. At least we didn't lose.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Let's go and see if we can borrow a fish from someone.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Good luck with that one, Dad.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I've got some brilliant outdoor food lined up.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34A colourful panzanella salad, an amazing fruit pizza, and unless
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Dad pulls off a miracle, it looks like barbecue fish is off the menu.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Oh, my goodness. Talk of the devil. - A bass.- Fish?- Yes.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Don't ask, but I've got the fish. Where's the charcoal?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48SOUND OF SKIPPING RECORD
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- What charcoal?- Charcoal, for the barbecue. No, no, no.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54No, you're kidding. OK, will you do me a favour?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Can you fillet that first? Tana, it's dead.- Is it going to bite?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- No, it's dead, come on, off you go. - Don't drop it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Everyone forgot the charcoal, but it looks like Dad's got a plan.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- It can't be sushi!- Bit of butter.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- OK?- Yeah.- Garlic. OK? Some fresh dill.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- How are we going to cook it? - Watch and learn.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- We're watching.- Right, where's Mummy? Thanks, Tanny.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17One piece of bass.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Dad puts on the fish fillets and some lemons.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Now we have to wrap it really tight, so no juice rolls out.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25But how are we going to cook it?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Now let me show you how your genius daddy is going to cook it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Follow me, ladies.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Let's go.- I think Dad's gone mad.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Tana, can you flip the lid up, please?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37There. Now...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- What?- Open the oven door!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I seriously think you might have lost it this time.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It's going inside, on the engine.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48You rest that beautiful bass on there.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51What do we do last, Holly? Close the oven door!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Gas mark 5.6 litre engine!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Will the engine really work like a cooker?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Let's go and cook some bass. - Dad!- Yes?- You're... HE LAUGHS
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Mmm! My bass smells delicious!
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Don't go cooking food on your parents' car without them knowing!
0:09:07 > 0:09:08While Dad is off being a maniac,
0:09:08 > 0:09:12trying to cook the fish on the car engine as he drives along - hello! -
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I'm making my squishiest, squashiest, messiest salad ever.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18At least we'll have a tasty salad for lunch.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20This recipe is all about tomatoes.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22To make it super colourful,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I'm using two different types of tomatoes.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Yellow and red.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Wow, these are very juicy.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Put this in my bowl.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Add in chopped cucumber,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33and I scooped out the seedy bits in the middle.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35And then chopped red onion.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Some of this basil.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Mmm, smells really good.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I hope the wind doesn't blow away my salad,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44cos if Dad's fish doesn't work we're not going to have a lot to eat.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47This salad's brilliant for using up your stale bread.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Old crustier bread is the best bread.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53You just rip it up into pieces and put it in.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Next, chunks of mozzarella.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56I love mozzarella.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58And finally the dressing.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Then roughly eight tablespoons of the olive oil.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Three tablespoons of red wine vinegar.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06And then some garlic.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Whisk it all around.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14And simply add in the dressing, and then my favourite bit.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16The squishy, squashy, messy part.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Now I've got very messy hands.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21And now I'm going to get a photo for my blog.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23From a real chef like me...
0:10:23 > 0:10:25To a madcap chef like Dad.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30This is the secret behind slow-cooking the sea bass.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32If we can keep our average speed up at 30, 35...
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Yeah?
0:10:33 > 0:10:39..for an 18 to 20 minute journey, we are in for something mind-blowing. Delicious!
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- Wow!- He's confident, that's for sure.- We're cooking, baby!
0:10:44 > 0:10:45So overexcited.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Leave the oven on, please.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Hello!- Hello, my darling. We've just come for some water.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Water? Dad, get some food!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58There's no way that fish will barbecue in the car.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01When was the last time you cooked a sea bass on the top of an engine?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02- Never. This is a first, so...- See.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I don't think Dad's carbecueing is going to work,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10but if it goes wrong at least we'll have my watermelon pizza, too.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14OK, it's not a real pizza, it's a super delicious pudding.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17And just like pizza, you can top it with whatever you want.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19For a big pizza, you need a big watermelon.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23So, I'm just going to cut it in half, and then make a thick slice.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Great.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Look at that, just like a pizza base.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30So, then I'm going to add on my toppings.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32The red watermelon looks like tomato sauce,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35then the apples look like artichoke.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Next add grapes.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Look at that, they look like olives. Kiwi.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42It's got lots of good fruit on here.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44And to make it look really authentic...
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Time for the mozzarella.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Just joking, it's only coconut.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51And then, this is my super sauce.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55A tangy syrup - lime juice, sugar and water mixed together.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56That should be enough. On the plate.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59And this is my pizza slice for later.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I'm going to take some pictures for my blog.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Please may I open the sea bass?- Dad is about to burst, he's so excited.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29The salad looks good if all else fails.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Ladies!- It cooked!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38What? He's only gone and done it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- No way.- My goodness. Look at that. I mean, seriously.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- I seriously can't quite believe it. - I mean, come on.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Really yummy.- Yes. Tana?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I honestly have to say I can't quite believe it.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- That is pretty impressive.- Matilda?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- I doubted you at first, but... - But how does it taste?
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Really good.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I am a little bit amazed at how sweet and delicious and soft it is.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10All right, Dad, what about the salad?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Salad's delicious. Obviously goes well with the delicious bass.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17I hate to admit it, but that was a genius bit of cooking from Dad.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- OK, guys, now for dessert. - So, it's a watermelon pizza?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Very, very, very pretty.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24There we are. Look at that.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Mmm. Tills, good job. Thank you, thank you.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Did you enjoy your day out?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I think it's fair enough to say, Holly and I,
0:13:31 > 0:13:36we've been surprised by how much we did enjoy the fishing.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39That's two big bombshells in one day.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Mum and Hols loving the fishing,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44and the car engine acting like an oven.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Amazing!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Can't wait to find out what the carbecue chef thinks.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- I had a great day.- Great day, and very fun.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Next time I ask you to bring the charcoal,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57just put it by the door so when we leave you won't forget it.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Next time you take us on a day out, can you make sure we have our main ingredient for lunch, please,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- so you don't have to pop down to the local supermarket?- OK.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Food, what pictures did you take? That's me, the lake and the salad all in the one picture.- Wow.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- And that salad, the bread absorbs all the juices, that's why you start with stale bread.- Yeah.- Really good.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15And what about the pizza? I loved that idea.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- So you could use ogen melon, honeydew melon. Beautiful.- Anything would do.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I just used watermelon, cos it was refreshing.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22No, but, hold on a minute, where is the fish picture?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Well, before I had the time to take a picture, you were there opening it...
0:14:25 > 0:14:28"Mmm, juices, juices, smells lovely, let's try it, Tilly, plate, Holly, plate!"
0:14:28 > 0:14:31So, it's like the one that got away, no-one's going to believe I cooked it,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33cos you've got no pictures, come on!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35What did you think of my boating skills? Pretty good.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39If you happen to go fishing one day with a friend, wait, wait, and he's a guy...
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- No! I know what you're going to say! - No, but, he may want to take you fishing and I'll drive the boat!
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Tilly!
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Tilly, where did you put that tub of fishing bait?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- I left the bait on your bed for you to put away.- You didn't.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Guess what, the box is here, but there aren't any worms in it now.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00MATILDA SCREAMS
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Fooled you! I wouldn't leave them in our bed.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04THEY LAUGH
0:15:04 > 0:15:06No, I put them safely in the fridge.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08ALL: Ugh!
