0:00:02 > 0:00:03- Hi, I'm Matilda.- Hi, I'm Matilda.
0:00:03 > 0:00:04- ALL:- I'm Matilda!
0:00:04 > 0:00:06I'M Matilda!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Cooking is what I love best.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Oh, ho-ho!
0:00:11 > 0:00:14She cooked, she scored.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16'Hi, I'm Matilda.'
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Goodbye, Jack.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'm in charge of the kitchen in this house.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23No, no, Tilly!
0:00:23 > 0:00:24SQUEALING
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Get out of my kitchen!
0:00:27 > 0:00:31This is a story of me, my crazy summer...
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Woo! Yay!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35I'm on the red carpet and I'm about to meet the star of the movie.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39..and my even crazier family.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- ALL:- What?!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Tilly rules, OK?
0:00:43 > 0:00:44HORN HONKS
0:00:45 > 0:00:47I need some peace and quiet.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48MUFFLED CHATTER
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Eurgh!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm in LA and having a summer to remember.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57I scored a goal!
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Great cooking...
0:01:00 > 0:01:02That is actually very good.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04..writing my food blog...
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Aaaah!- ..and mad messing about.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Eurgh! She's going to lick me!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Sometimes our house is nothing but chaos.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Jack, no! Jack!
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Jack! Out!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Do not go in the fridge.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21But Mum is definitely the calming influence.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Out of the kitchen.- Why do I get to surrender?- Tilly. Tilly.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Today the boys are away,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30so Mum and us girls are going to have a surprise day out.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32So, the big question is...
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Today's food is all about what us girls like to eat.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Mum's a total green goddess.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47She's really into healthy food and keeping fit.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48A bit like me, really.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53So I'm making a super-healthy beach picnic.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Rainbow veg with a spiced bean dip.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Lean, mean chicken.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04And just for a little treat, my airy raspberry macarons.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08I'm going to start with my rainbow veg and spiced bean dip.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09She's going to love this dish.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11It's fantastic for sharing.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13You just choose what you like best and dip.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17So good! First, chop up vegetables you like.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I've got some...
0:02:21 > 0:02:24..mini peppers, which you can just bite into.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25I've got...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31..and of course...
0:02:33 > 0:02:36'And last but not least -
0:02:36 > 0:02:38'a Mexican turnip.'
0:02:38 > 0:02:42It's delicious, kind of like cucumber but not.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43It's...crunchy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49'Now for the dip.' Butter beans, some crushed garlic, only one clove.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51'Next, my lemon juice trick.'
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Hold your hand out like this, squeeze the lemon.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57All that's left in your hand are all the pips.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01'Season with salt, pepper and cumin
0:03:01 > 0:03:04'and add a dollop of tahini paste.'
0:03:04 > 0:03:05It's made out of sesame seeds.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I'm going to add roughly four tablespoons of olive oil.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13One, two, three, four.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Smells so good!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Perfect.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20'Scoop into a picnic tub.'
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Dip my cucumber in it.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Mm. Mum is going to love that.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Must get a picture for my blog.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Check out some of my best recipes
0:03:33 > 0:03:35and blog on the CBBC website.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Whilst us girls have got the house to ourselves,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I'm chilling and blogging.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48And Holly and Megan are giving Mum a bit of TLC.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49So, Mummy, what's your perfect day?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53This is quite nice. Peace and quiet.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I do like paddle boarding.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58It's so quiet out there.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Quite serene. That's my idea of just a nice, peaceful moment,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03away from the chaos.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Chaos? What chaos?
0:04:07 > 0:04:08- Snuggles!- Oh, dear.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I just made my bed!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16'Mum's always got her hands full looking after us crazy kids.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21'But for her surprise day out, Holly's come up with a great idea.'
0:04:21 > 0:04:23So, guys, why don't we...
0:04:23 > 0:04:27see if we can do yoga whilst paddle boarding?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Wouldn't we just fall off?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Well, YOU would!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Sounds like the perfect combo of chilling out for Mum
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and action for me.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So, to keep energy levels up, I'm making my lean machine chicken.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Super-tasty!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47For this marinade, everything goes in at once.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Garlic, toasted pine nuts,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52sun blush tomatoes, red chillies,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Parmesan and olive oil.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Now to marinade my chicken.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Here's my chicken. I've cut it into cubes.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Mix it all up so everything's coated.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08'I'm going to leave it in the fridge to marinate,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10'give my hands a good wash, then skewer the cubes
0:05:10 > 0:05:13'ready for the beach barbecue. So easy!'
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Om...
0:05:15 > 0:05:16'I'm mega chilled today...
0:05:18 > 0:05:19'..almost.'
0:05:19 > 0:05:22That's not fair. You took my trainers and never gave them back.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I did. They're in your wardrobe.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25You just put them there...
0:05:25 > 0:05:27'Megan and Holly, on the other hand...'
0:05:27 > 0:05:28KNOCK AT DOOR
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- Clothes again?- I asked her for one jumper and she said no.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Holly, I think out of the two things, you lend her one of them.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Jumper, please. Thank you.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42OK. I'm going to go, but please don't let me hear any more arguing.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Mum's really going to need this chill-out treat and I've got
0:05:46 > 0:05:48the perfect dessert for our beach picnic.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52In the hot Californian sun, I love eating yummy light desserts.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56So, when the temperature rises,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59my super airy macarons really hit the mark.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04'First, I need some egg whites.'
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Perfect. 'Next, add cream of tartar and whisk.'
0:06:11 > 0:06:14But don't do it too fast because you don't want it to over-whip.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16'Then add sugar.'
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Look, you can see them coming together.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25It has got stiff peaks. As you can see, it's not falling back in.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29You also know it's done if you hold it upside down over your head.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32If nothing comes out, it's done.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I'm scared it's going to come.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38DRUM ROLL
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Ohhhhh!
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Oh.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46This is what would happen if you under-whisked.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Phew. 'Got away with that one.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51'Sieve icing sugar and almond flour...'
0:06:51 > 0:06:53So there's no lumps.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56'Gently fold in the sugar and almond flour.'
0:06:56 > 0:06:59So, this is the crucial bit because all the air will come out of
0:06:59 > 0:07:03the egg whites. So this is what it should look like.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07'Now to put my mixture in the piping bag.'
0:07:07 > 0:07:08That's all in there.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Pipe your macarons onto grease-proof paper.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15So, I'm going to leave these
0:07:15 > 0:07:19macarons for ten minutes until they get nice and crunchy,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21and then I'm going to bake them in a medium oven.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Isn't it macaroons?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- No!- It's macaroon.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28But these aren't the French ones. It's macarons.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Since when have you ever heard anyone say "macarons"?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Well, now you have.- Mummy...
0:07:33 > 0:07:34What are you arguing about?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35- Macaroons or macaron?- Macaroon.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37It depends what you're making!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39They are two different things.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Macaroon, macaron.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Well, then that's the argument done.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43No, but she doesn't get that.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- She thinks there's only one thing. - Can I just say, you're both right?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- There's a macaron and a macaroon. - Thank you! That's what I said!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51MUMBLING
0:07:51 > 0:07:52I need some peace and quiet.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54MUFFLED CHATTER
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Eurgh!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I licked it!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00THEY SHOUT
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- I'm going to go and find some peace. - You...
0:08:03 > 0:08:04SHRIEKING
0:08:04 > 0:08:06My kitchen!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Megan is so annoying.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11'But at least my macaroons...
0:08:11 > 0:08:15'Oh! ..macarons are dried out enough to go into the oven.'
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Super-sunny LA, the perfect place to be outdoors and active.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Yoga paddle boarding is one of the latest crazes,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28and we're going to take Mum to try it out.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32So, we'd better brush up on our yoga skills.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Here it is. Shall we try? - I can't even do that on land!
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Let's try it off the water.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- No way!- Let me see. Oh, we can do that!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Let go of my hands.- Aaaaaah!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46'These might not strictly be the right moves,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48'but at least we're limbering up before the real thing.'
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Just time to bust a few more shapes before I check on my macarons.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Gotta shoot.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03These macarons smell amazing.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06These are done.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Crispy.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Perfect.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15'Once they are cool,
0:09:15 > 0:09:19'pair up your macarons and make lots of little sandwiches.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23'You can choose any filling you like, but I love raspberry jam.'
0:09:26 > 0:09:28This one had a little break in it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Maybe I should taste it, just to check.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Mmmm!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Food blog time.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I'm going to set them out in a cool way.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Selfie with a T.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Let me know how your macarons turn out.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54< Macaroons!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Picnic done...
0:09:56 > 0:09:59the Ramsay girls are taking Mum downtown to the beach.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Fingers crossed she likes her surprise!
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Yoga on a paddle board?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Seriously? Whose idea was this?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Hi!- How are you, guys?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15'Our instructor for the day is Courtney.'
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Now, can everybody swim at least?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Yes.- Yes.- How many have paddled more than ten times?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22MUM LAUGHS
0:10:22 > 0:10:25You've got your work cut out for you.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Mum, Megan and I are afloat, but where's Holly?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35The instructor told us there's loads of stingrays in there.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37That's why I'm not getting in.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Scaredy-cat.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43'Yoga paddle boarding is all about keeping your balance.'
0:10:43 > 0:10:45This is so cool!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47'So, before we start yoga-ing,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50'we've got to get used to being on the board.'
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Feel the burn!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58'That was fun. Now, for our first yoga pose.'
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Extend your arms long.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Child's pose.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07'Bring it on. That was child's play. Get it?'
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Lifting your back knee.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12'Move number two is a hand and knee balance pose.'
0:11:14 > 0:11:17'Taking one hand off the board is a little more tricky.'
0:11:18 > 0:11:22And lift your hips back to find a downward dog.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Rumpole and Bruno would love this one.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29While we've been wobbling on the water working up an appetite...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Here you go, Dad.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Thanks, darling.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36'Dad's turned up to help Holly get Mum's picnic tea ready.'
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I absolutely love barbecuing.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I love it, love it, love it. That marinade smells incredible.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49'Meanwhile, out on the water...'
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Inhaling your right leg high up into the sky...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56'Yoga on moving water is a lot harder than it looks,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00'but it's a great way to give your body an all-over muscle workout.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02'Now for the standing poses.'
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Inhale up to warrior 1.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07'I'm in!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09'Is Mum going to get her hair wet?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12'Not this time.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15'Megan's in!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17'Mum's getting into this.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20'She's determined to clinch warrior 1.'
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Thank you for not letting me fall in yet.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26'And she's up. Yo, warrior 1.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27'Good shapes, Mum!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32'Now it's the big one, the headstand challenge.'
0:12:35 > 0:12:38SQUEALING
0:12:38 > 0:12:40CHEERING
0:12:40 > 0:12:42'I've done it!'
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Woooooo!
0:12:45 > 0:12:48'Well, I did do it.'
0:12:53 > 0:12:55'That was so much fun.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58'And Mum didn't even get her hair wet.'
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Now I'm quite chilly, so I'm going to go and get a towel.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- OK, ladies.- 'Chilled out and ready for a beach barbecue.'
0:13:08 > 0:13:11'And of course, Dad's getting all cheffy.'
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You cannot resist, can you?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I like Dad's ideas.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Even on a beach,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19we can increase the presentation.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22The smell of this chicken is incredible.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Daddy, I have to give it to you, that is actually really yummy.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Isn't it?- Excuse me, I made it!
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Excuse me, I cooked it!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Anyone can burn it, it's easy.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Thank you. It's like my dream lunch.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Perfect. A little bit of jicama.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Mmmm. That's good. What's for dessert, madam?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Well, it's my macarons, but...
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Macaroons.- No.- You are maca-wrong.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- What's it called?- Macaroon.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- En francais, macaron. - What is it called, Megan?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Macaroon.- Excuse me, your father is fluent in French!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I lived in France for three years.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- That's what I said. Macaroon.- It's a macaron!- You are maca-wrong.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- You ARE maca-wrong. - You're maca-wrong!
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Listen, this was my peaceful day and you're all ruining it.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- OK.- We're supposed to be Zen and calm for yoga!
