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 > 0:00:08Cooking is what I love best!
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- Oh!- She cooks, she scores!
0:00:14 > 0:00:18- Hi, I'm Matilda.- Goodbye, Jack.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'm in charge of the kitchen in this house.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23No, no, Tilly.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Get out of my kitchen!
0:00:26 > 0:00:30This is the story of me, my crazy summer...
0:00:32 > 0:00:36I'm on the red carpet and I'm about to meet the star of the movie.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38..And my even crazier family!
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- What?- Tilly rules, OK?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47No, Jack! Jack! Out!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49SHE LAUGHS
0:00:52 > 0:00:56We're having an incredible time in sunny California.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57This is so cool.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I'm cooking like crazy...
0:00:59 > 0:01:00That is good.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02..And writing my food blog.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05But today, the heat's on.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09I'm going head-to-head against Jack in one of LA's most iconic sporting
0:01:09 > 0:01:13events. The gruelling pier to pier swimming race.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's a Ramsay face-off!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Jack is so competitive, he has to win everything.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22We're going to be swimming nearly two and a half miles
0:01:22 > 0:01:24in the cold Pacific Ocean.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27These massive waves are great for LA's surfers
0:01:27 > 0:01:30but will make today's swim really tough!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Like seriously tough!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36To help Jack and I recover, I've got some great food lined up.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39A post-race super smoothie booster bowl.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41A brunch of champions.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Waffles with alphabet eggs.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And my super tasty secret fried chicken.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49But first, I've got a brother to beat.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53So the big question is, can I beat Jack or can Jack beat me?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Tilly has been nonstop telling me, texting me,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58FaceTiming me that she's going to beat me.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00So, the game's on, Tilly.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- I'm coming for you.- But I've got a secret weapon up my sleeve.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Ironman Daddy.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07He's been training me up.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Cos this will be one of the biggest challenges I've ever done!
0:02:11 > 0:02:15This is my first open-water swim and it's my first long swim as well.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19So I'm a bit scared.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Last year, Dad and Jack did the race, but this time,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Dad's out of the picture with a sports injury.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28We were in the same heat, we started at the same time,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and I beat him by about ten minutes.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32I got cramp, severe cramp.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Now, it's up to me to take the Ramsay pier to pier crown from Jack.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I'm so nervous of Tilly doing this. They've got the current,
0:02:41 > 0:02:42they've got the waves,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44they've got all the people around them, so tough.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48And I'm trying not to think about the underwater wildlife.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49I think that's the only thing that spooks Tilly.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51That you can't really see.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53And if there's any dark patches coming towards you.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Oh, stop it!
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Sharks don't like getting poked in the eye.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Any sharks, you poke them in the eye.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Great pep talk, Dad.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Seriously, you take your time. - I will.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- OK?- And in here is a little bit busy so there'll be people elbowing you,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- swimming over you, and...- Have you got an inhaler with you?
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Inhaler's there.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Because I have mild asthma,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Dad wants to make sure I know how to control it and what to do if I have
0:03:19 > 0:03:21an attack while I'm swimming.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Stay nice and calm. OK?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Any issues, what do you do?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Put your hand up.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29And you go straight to a paddle board.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31You can hang on there, catch your breath.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Dad may have a reputation for being tough
0:03:34 > 0:03:36but I know he's a big softie at heart.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39The minute you start, I'm going to run straight down to the finish line
0:03:39 > 0:03:42so I can see you coming out of that water, OK?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- ANNOUNCER:- We are one minute from the start of the women division.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Yeah? See you there. Be safe.
0:03:48 > 0:03:54- See you at the finish.- I love you. - You can do this.- See you, Mum.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Because so many people take part,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00we are all divided into groups and our individual swims are timed.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm aiming to get a faster time than Jack.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Time to say goodbye to my rival.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09May the best man, or girl win!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I'm going in! Wish me luck!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Look, that's me!
0:04:23 > 0:04:24And that's me!
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Whilst I'm battling against the current,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I've left Mum some video instructions
0:04:30 > 0:04:34for making my favourite post-exercise re-booster.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35A super smoothie bowl.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Over to you, Mum!
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I'm just going to have a little look and see
0:04:39 > 0:04:40what Miss Bossy's got to say to me.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Don't forget to keep everything clean when you're cooking.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47A tidy chef is a good chef, and you know how untidy you are.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I think that's a bit of a cheek.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm the tidiest person in the world, she takes after her father.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Make it look good, Mum!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56She's not the only one able to cook around here.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03This'll be good if I can get this lid off.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04OK, ah, twist off.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I feel like I'm under a slight amount of pressure here.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Add some plain yoghurt.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09I have this in the back of my head,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Tilly's voice making it all look as if I've never cooked before.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Add milk.- I have soy milk.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Cow's milk is brilliant, but it's great with rice or soy milk as well.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21This is one of Tilly's favourite recipes
0:05:21 > 0:05:24that she's sort of created when she's been working out
0:05:24 > 0:05:25and doing her training.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Add the frozen fruit.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Got blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Plus chia seeds and honey.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I just keep looking out there and wondering how they're doing.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37That slight part of me is a bit nervous.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39OK, blend until it's smooth.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Being on the beach, no electricity, so it's all
0:05:41 > 0:05:43a little bit of arm power.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48OK, oh, this smells so good.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Pour it out, carefully.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52My goodness, she is so bossy.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Decorate it with chopped nuts, blackberries, blueberries
0:05:55 > 0:05:57and bee pollen.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59This'll be a really good thing have when they get out.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- And there we go.- The two smoothie bowls, let's go.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Who do you think's winning, Jack or Tilly?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07- I think Tilly.- I guess Jack.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I'm going for Jack.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13RINGS BICYCLE BELL
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Oh, my God, the waves are huge.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Yeah, they are.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24I feel sick with nerves here.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33- There he is, Jack!- Jack! Jack, come on!- Come on, Jack!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Yeah, he looked tired.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41There's a strong current. And the current's heading that way.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- Well done, mate.- Hey.- How are you feeling?- Hey!- Hey, Mum.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48- How are you?- Huge waves, huh?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Did you manage to ride them properly or not?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- No.- No?- Yeah, they're a lot choppier than last year.- Yeah?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56A lot choppier. Now, where's Tilly?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15This is scary!
0:07:15 > 0:07:16I want her to finish now.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- The size of those waves, look at them.- I know.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21That's what I'm worried about.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- My heart seriously is in my mouth at this point.- She'll be fine,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27she'll be absolutely fine.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Come on, Tilly!- That'll be her. - Where?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Behind the yellow hat, there you go, see her?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Coming in on that wave?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- There?- No.- There are so many green hats,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39you don't know which one she is.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Come on, let's get her home safe.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- No, I'm pretty sure I see her. - Where?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00You see the two yellow hats? In the middle of them.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Is that her?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07No.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Come on, Matilda.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14She'll be absolutely fine.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Come on, Tilly.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Is that...?- There! There she comes.
0:08:26 > 0:08:32- Straight there.- Yes, there she is. - Jack's... He's got her.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I never been so happy to see my super-competitive big brother
0:08:36 > 0:08:38in my life!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Well done, Tilly!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Well done!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Well done!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00That was scary. That was so scary. She did it brilliantly.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Well done! Go over there.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Go on, Tilly!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13That was the toughest thing I've ever done!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Jack beat me, but I don't care.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Woo, man!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26We did well. We're happy. Cheers!
0:09:30 > 0:09:33My two favourite things in life are sports and cooking.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36So to make an already memorable day even better,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'm going to cook a celebratory meal.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42This is going to be my brunch of champions.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Waffles, eggs and fried chicken.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47With a Captain Tilly secret coating.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Mum's having a nice time relaxing.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51It's all right for some!
0:09:53 > 0:09:57First a secret super-tasty coating for the chicken.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Really secret cos it's so delicious.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06To almond, oat, and chickpea flour, add my top-secret flavouring.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Onion powder. Sneak in a teaspoon of smoked paprika.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Add a teaspoon of celery salt.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Can't tell anyone this recipe.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Then, my garlic powder.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21A teaspoon of this.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Mix it up really well, so it's nice and even.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26OK, coating ready.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Going to crack up three eggs.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Will help all the coatings stick to my chicken.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Now, there's a secret for this.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Keep one hand dry and use one hand to coat everything.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Egg is the glue, into my topping.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45All the chicken coated.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Onto the tray. Yep, that definitely was a very messy job
0:10:49 > 0:10:51but this hand's clean.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55So I can turn on the tap and not leave a mess everywhere.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Put the chicken in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Smells delicious.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Look how golden it's gone on the outside.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Got to take a picture for my blog.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Mum's asleep. All that worrying has tired her out.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I'm the one who's done all the exercise!
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Sleeping beauty.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Perfect.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23To go with the fried chicken,
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I'm making American waffles and eggs, starting with the waffles.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30They're so easy. You just put everything in the bowl.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Three tablespoons of sugar.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47A pinch of salt. Lastly, add three eggs and whisk it all together.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48EXAGGERATED SNORING
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Mum's still asleep.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Surely, I should be the one sleeping.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56I'm using a waffle maker, but a griddle pan makes great waffles, too.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Only halfway.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Otherwise it will overflow.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Didn't do them too high for the first time ever.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05While they're cooking, I might take a leaf out of my mum's book.
0:12:08 > 0:12:0920 secondes...
0:12:14 > 0:12:15My waffles are done.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Oh, look at that, beautiful!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23OK, here you've got to be really, super careful.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Because it's really hot.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26You can always ask an adult to help.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Unless they're all asleep.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31To go with the waffles,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I fried eggs in metal letter-shaped cookie cutters.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38A T-shaped egg for me and a J-shaped egg for Jack.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Need a picture for my blog.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Hope this revives everyone.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Let's go!
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Oh, I'm tired.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52My shoulders are so sore.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53I know. To everyone, please dig in.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Was I the only one scared there?
0:12:55 > 0:12:56No. I was terrified.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- I was scared.- I was scared. - You were scared?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01The waves were massive - like about ten feet.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- And so that was what was really scary for me.- They were huge.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07It's just so much harder this year with the current going
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- across you, pushing you to the shore.- How are you feeling?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Hungry. Do you know what impressed me the most?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17What impressed you the most?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20The fact that even though it was tough conditions, nobody gave up.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22There were many stages I thought I was going to give up.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- What did you do?- I just carried on,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27like the pier just never seemed to come closer to me.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29And you did exceptionally well. And that was a big, big ask.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Please may I present the Ramsay Bunch trophy...
0:13:33 > 0:13:34and the winner is...
0:13:34 > 0:13:36both of you! Well done!
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Every time I cook, I look forward
0:13:44 > 0:13:47to having a one-to-one foodie heart-to-heart with Dad.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49But today is a bit special.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So my swim rival, Jack, is joining us.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Great job. How are you feeling?
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Sore, but good.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Tired.- And lunch was amazing.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Thank you.- That buttermilk chicken, beautiful.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02- Yep.- And also the waffles.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Great idea with the names on the eggs by the way.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Thank you. Yeah.- What did come through, OK, were your times.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Oh, dear. No, come on! So, Jack.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Yes.- In your age group, you came third.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19- What?- Wow.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- OK.- Jackie, that's amazing!
0:14:21 > 0:14:25And your time was 68 minutes.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Six...- Incredible.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Tills, you came in one hour 37.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And in your age group, and you were ranked...
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Number one?- Number one! What?- Tilly!- Stop.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Wow!- Seriously.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44No way. So happy.
