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 > 0:00:12Oh!
0:00:12 > 0:00:15She cooks, she scores!
0:00:15 > 0:00:16Hi, I'm Matilda.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Goodbye, Jack.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21I'm in charge of the kitchen in this house.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22No, no, Tilly.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Get out of my kitchen!
0:00:27 > 0:00:30This is a story of me, my crazy summer...
0:00:33 > 0:00:37I'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 > 0:00:45Do not go in the fridge.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- There's someone in there.- Go away!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56'We're in LA, a city that loves to party...'
0:00:56 > 0:00:58'..having a summer to remember.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02'I'm doing what I love best - cooking like crazy...'
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Look at the cheese bubbling around the outside.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07'..doing my food blog...'
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Amazing. '..and celebrating a massive family anniversary.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16'Our parents have been married for 20 - yes, 20 - years.'
0:01:16 > 0:01:18How old does that make them?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Old.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23# Hey, baby I think I want to marry you... #
0:01:25 > 0:01:27It's all a bit soppy, I know,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31but we want to give them a brilliant celebration, so the big question is,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33how do you throw the ultimate party to remember?
0:01:34 > 0:01:39'We're surprising Mum and Dad with a special 20th anniversary party,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41'so I'm checking the coast is clear...'
0:01:41 > 0:01:43They're all still asleep.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47'..before getting the gang together to come up with a plan.'
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Let's sort out what we're going to do.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51It needs to be big. 20th is big.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Mexico, we could do Mexican food.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54OK, so we could do a mariachi thing.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Like, I've heard about and it's all about romance and culture and fun.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Colours.- You can dress up crazy.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Let's write a song.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Shall I have a look for some mariachi bands?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I think I saw someone on America's Got Talent.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Alondra.- Alondra.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- OK. She's 13 years old.- Whoa!
0:02:12 > 0:02:13I love Alondra.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16She's just what we need to get this party started.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Wow.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20The guys are in charge of hooking up with Alondra
0:02:20 > 0:02:24and sorting the entertainment and I'm cooking up a surprise of my own
0:02:24 > 0:02:25in the kitchen.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29I'm making one of the Mum and Dad's favourite Mexican dishes -
0:02:29 > 0:02:31delicious home-made enchiladas,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35a super sweet and zingy salad made with prickly pears -
0:02:35 > 0:02:36the fruit from cacti.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41And a huge, top-secret anniversary cake.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46It's going to be a 20-layer rainbow tower.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48One layer for each year they've been married.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53First, make enough cake mix for five large sponges. Add butter,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56sugar and cream together.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57So, you're looking for it to all come together
0:02:57 > 0:02:59and be nice and fluffy.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Next, put in six eggs...
0:03:03 > 0:03:05..450g of plain flour...
0:03:05 > 0:03:06But slowly and not all at once,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09otherwise it will all come out and make a huge mess
0:03:09 > 0:03:11and Mum won't be happy.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Next, add 360ml of milk, salt,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18baking powder and vanilla extract.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21'Oh, no, Mum's coming!' Hey, Mum!
0:03:21 > 0:03:22'I've got to keep my cake a secret.'
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Good, thanks, how are you?- What are you up to?- I'm just making cupcakes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Can I just have a little peek? - No, sorry.- Cupcakes, OK.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31'Got away with that.'
0:03:31 > 0:03:34That was close.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Now, to make the different coloured cake mixes.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So the first colour I'm going to do is a bit of purple,
0:03:40 > 0:03:45yellow and green, red and finally, some blue.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47And now time to mix them all.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51It's a lot of mixing.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53My arms are getting tired.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Next, pour the rainbow cake mixes into baking tins.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59The colours look amazing.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Right, into the oven to cook.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09The guys are heading to Mariachi Plaza...
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Guys, stand in the middle.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13..which is the heart of Mexican music in LA.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15That's quite a good picture.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17They're hoping to meet Alondra here, but before they do,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I need a bit of advice.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Hey, guys. ALL:- Hey!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Well, I've been making a special cake.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26The 20-layered one?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Yeah. I need your opinion.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Should I put these on the top?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- What are they? - It's a little Mummy and Daddy.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32- Yeah!- Have fun. Love you.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Hey, are you Alondra?- Yes, hi.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I'm Megan, it's nice to meet you.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41It's our parents' 20th anniversary
0:04:41 > 0:04:43and we were hoping you could help us.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Yes, yes, of course.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Alondra's a brilliant singer.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49She was a quarterfinalist on America's Got Talent
0:04:49 > 0:04:52and she knows where to get the best ice cream in LA.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54May I please get the cookies and cream?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57But, guys, you're supposed to be writing an anniversary song
0:04:57 > 0:04:59for Mum and Dad...
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Por favor dos mango smoothies.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03..not treating yourselves!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06We need to get you guys looking, like, proper mariachi.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Would you not say we look quite mariachi this morning?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- No?- We need to get that suit on and that hair back.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15We've got a lot of work to do.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Mmm, perfect. Take this out.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Leave to cool, make the frosting, and you're ready to go.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27It's time to cut my cakes.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34First, to make them neat, cut the top off each sponge
0:05:34 > 0:05:35then slice in half.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Carefully does it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41There we go. That looks perfect.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I've got a few more cakes to cut but I'd better do it fast
0:05:44 > 0:05:46before the pesky parents appear.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Ten layers of sponge and ten layers of frosting.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53A layer for each year Mum and Dad have been married.
0:05:53 > 0:05:5620 layers. I've never done a cake this high before.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Now, for the tricky part - building the giant rainbow tower.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Final layer of sponge.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12And the final layer of frosting.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17This isn't the Leaning Cake of Los Angeles, it's a Standing Up cake.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Putting the last few bits.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24I've never sprayed a cake before.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29You can make your cake really dramatic with edible sprays.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30I love them.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32It's quite weird, I've never seen a cake this colour.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Sure, it may look silver, but it's not,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37it's definitely platinum.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Yes, got it finished without Mum and Dad seeing it.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Now, to hide it in the fridge.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Mariachi singers are famous for their brilliant clothes,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51so Alondra is getting the guys kitted out.'
0:06:53 > 0:06:54This is what I want to look like.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Mexican tuxedo.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57It's the number one in Mexico.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Jack, is that all you're wearing?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Hope they can sing as good as they look.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06With my tallest cake ever hidden in the fridge,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09it's time to crack on with the Mexican lunch.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm making enchiladas - one of Mum and Dad's favourites.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Which are sort of a Mexican comfort food.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19OK, my meat is ready for my enchilada sauce...
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- I need to get some water, please. Morning.- Good morning.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Why so flat like that? A morning's like a handshake.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Shake my hand. No, no, come on.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Shake... Shake my hand!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33You're so naughty.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35That smells nice. The meat looks a little bit grey. What is that?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37This is my meat for my enchiladas.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Why no colour on the meat?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41There is colour on the... You're so critical.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44'The enchilada filling is minced beef, fried with onion,
0:07:44 > 0:07:45'garlic and chilies.'
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'm going to get some water.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Don't go in the fridge. ALARM SOUNDS
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Do not go in the fridge.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52'I've got to stop him finding my cake!'
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Who's in there? - No-one can fit in the fridge.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Knowing you, there's someone in there.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Please just turn around, close your eyes.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Still or sparkling?- Still, please.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Catch.- Thank you.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Right, enchiladas, what's the base?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09So, this is an enchilada sauce and it's got my spices in.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11ALARM SOUNDS
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Look, stop, you're going to ruin it. - OK, OK.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Just, if you want to be useful, please help with my enchiladas.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20OK, I've got to go. Gym session. Upper body today.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Yeah, you need a bit of that, I'm not going to lie.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Excuse me, madam, where's your manners?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29'With Dad safely out the way, it's back to my enchiladas.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32'Onto a tortilla, add two spoonfuls of my meat.'
0:08:32 > 0:08:35And then I'm going to roll it.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37ALARM SOUNDS Stop.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Go away.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Could I have a colder water, please? - Yes, of course.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Thank you. I obviously...
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- HE LAUGHS - I can't see anything.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- See you later.- See you. He's so annoying.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I can't believe I managed to keep him away. That's a first.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58'Roll each enchilada and put the join face down in the dish.'
0:08:58 > 0:09:01One, two, three, four, five, six.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Perfect, all the Ramsays accounted for.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05'Pour over home-made tomato sauce.'
0:09:05 > 0:09:08This is going to give them extra, extra flavour.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Add grated cheddar cheese and pop in a hot oven for 20 minutes.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Look at the cheese bubbling round the outside.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I can put on my spring onion, some chopped up olives.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Time to get some photos for my blog,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32which you can find on the CBBC website.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38The Ramsay Bunch loves music but we're not that musical.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Guys, this is my good friend, Philippe.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Hi, pleased to meet you, Jack.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44So Alondra's friend, Philippe,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47has arrived to help the gang come up with a song.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Us Ramsays, we were thinking we'd shout the chorus...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- We can't sing. - We'd shout the chorus.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55But he's definitely got a tough job on his hands.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Let's just keep it basic with us.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Let's just have one line that we can repeat.- Yeah.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Ramsay Bunch. There we go.- And then their greatest achievement.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- I'd say we're their greatest achievement.- Duh!
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Definitely are!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15As the Ramsay Bunch songwriters compose their smash hit...
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Hmm!
0:10:16 > 0:10:20..I'm making a deliciously zingy salad using a Mexican speciality
0:10:20 > 0:10:23that grows on cacti, called prickly pears.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26It used to have little prickles coming out of here,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28but when they take them off the cactus, they take them off,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30because they're very sharp.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33First, carefully peel them.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34I've got to try it.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37It's Baloo from the Jungle Book's favourite fruit, you know.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Lovely. It's going to go great in my salad.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41If Baloo's not one of your friends,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44watermelon or kiwi fruit would work brilliantly, too.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Then, simply add cooked corn.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51I've got my dressing over here which is oil, vinegar, lime,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53coriander and then I'm going to put in my cotija cheese.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55This is a Mexican cheese.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Cotija cheese is pretty difficult to get in Britain,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01but goat's or feta are a brilliant alternative.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02I'd better try tasting it.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Really good. I think I've pulled this one off, too.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Blog time.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13The guys are back.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Time for the surprise party.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19'But we've got to get Mum and Dad outside...'
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- Straight outside.- OK.- Don't look.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23'..without them seeing our party preparations.'
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Go sit downstairs, please.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Right.- OK.- Bye!- Bye.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Mission accomplished.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Tuxedos on, secret cake unveiled.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39What is that? Oh, come on.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Wow.- Is this all for us?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Tilly, that's why we've been ushered out.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Here we go - the Ramsay Bunch serenade.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54ALONDRA SINGS SLOW MARIACHI SONG
0:11:56 > 0:11:58# 20 years ago... #
0:12:02 > 0:12:05The Ramsay Bunch, the Ramsay Bunch.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07This is how we got started. The Ramsay Bunch.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Are you singing there, Jack?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It's a poem. Poetic, poetic.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16For the last 20 years, the man and the lady,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18they've accomplished a lot,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20but undoubtedly, their greatest achievement...
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- ..their four kids. - THEY LAUGH
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Thank you.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Well done.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Thank you very much.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Thank you and happy anniversary. - Thank you, Philippe.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Thank you so much.- Thanks, Philippe.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Philippe has another gig to get to but Alondra's eating with us.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I love the top part of this as well.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40See that colour. Delicious.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Really good dish.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45So, Alondra, what do you think of Tilly's Mexican inspired food?
0:12:45 > 0:12:46It's wonderful. It tastes amazing.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50It reminded me of when my grandma would cook.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Jack, big enchilada fan?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Massive enchilada fan. - How was it, Meg?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56It was really yummy. My favourite, I have to say though,
0:12:56 > 0:12:57is the prickly pear salad.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- It's so light and refreshing. - It's really good.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Naturally sweet as well.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Really good indeed. Love the olives. Makes it nice and salty.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05The tomatoes, delicious.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Really good indeed. And that salad, what a lovely idea.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Now, seriously, that cake is huge.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12OK, are you guys ready?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18'It's going to be really tricky cutting a slice out of this.'

0:13:53 > 0:13:57If you'd have thought, 21st December 1996 at the Cafe Royal,
0:13:57 > 0:14:0020 years later we'd be sat at the end of the garden
0:14:00 > 0:14:03with four amazing kids, making one of the most fluorescent cakes
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- I've seen in my entire life. - Excuse me, chef-to-chef without me?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I've always wondered what goes on in these moments.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11First of all, the enchiladas were delicious.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Thank you.- Almost like a sort of Mexican equivalent of a lasagne.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Look at the colour of that. Beautiful.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Finally, you're understanding to caramelise things.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I've had 20 years of this, Tilly. 20 years!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I had 14 and that's enough.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Let's have a look at the salad.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Cos the colours of that prickly pear are beautiful.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Loved it. OK, let's get to the cake.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I mean, that is beautiful. Can I just say, when you lifted that slice

0:14:46 > 0:14:48- I'd like you to come and sit at the chef's table...- Here we go.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51No, in the kitchen, where I'll keep an eye on you and sort of

0:14:57 > 0:14:59- ALL:- Good night, everyone.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Hey, guys, what are we going to do for our 40th wedding anniversary?
