0:00:19 > 0:00:21..to help me with a project I'm doing on healthy eating

0:00:21 > 0:00:22at my catering college.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25We've all picked our favourite recipes and shoved them into a hat

0:00:25 > 0:00:28for another person to select at random and make the meal.

0:00:28 > 0:00:29GROUP: Ooh...

0:00:29 > 0:00:33The person who suggested the recipe will become the chef's assistant.

0:00:49 > 0:00:50- Touch The Telly for?- Yeah.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Yeah, because we were all fighting for our right to watch a football

0:00:53 > 0:00:55match over that dumb talent show

0:00:55 > 0:00:58and...you left us a man down because of that special sauce?

0:00:58 > 0:00:59- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02The special sauce that you begged Mike to tell you the ingredients for

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- and he never did.- Yes.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09I experimented and got very kind of...

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Yeah...and it took you how long?

0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Six months. - THEY LAUGH

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Oh...I don't know about this.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Can I pick another one?- Nope.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19ALL: Jump cut!

0:01:19 > 0:01:21OK, so we have all the ingredients.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Excellent.- Sapphire, don't you think you should...?

0:01:24 > 0:01:27I am not pointing to an egg and saying, "Ooh, we've got an egg."

0:01:27 > 0:01:28There's a recipe card.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Anyone watching can play this back.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31That being said,

0:01:31 > 0:01:33why do I need cream crackers?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Don't question the master.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38SHE LAUGHS

0:01:38 > 0:01:39You let me know when he shows up.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Johnny, do you want to help?

0:01:41 > 0:01:42- Yeah, sure.- Cool.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45So, if you could just hold the tea towel

0:01:45 > 0:01:48while I bash it with a rolling pin, that would be great.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Actually... I think...you do it.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05I think it's dead now.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Johnny, you've gone all pale!

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Guys, this is fun!

0:02:09 > 0:02:11OK...so...

0:02:11 > 0:02:13we're going to put the dead crackers...

0:02:14 > 0:02:16..the cheese,

0:02:16 > 0:02:18a pinch of herbs

0:02:18 > 0:02:20and an egg into the bowl.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24And then, with clean hands...

0:02:24 > 0:02:26SHE EXHALES

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Go on, get in there, Saph!

0:02:28 > 0:02:29THEY LAUGH

0:02:29 > 0:02:30It's kind of weird...

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Scary!

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Do you know, I work in a design studio now,

0:02:35 > 0:02:37so this is giving me some crazy ideas.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41- SHE LAUGHS - What?!

0:02:41 > 0:02:42OK...so...

0:02:42 > 0:02:44With a spoon,

0:02:44 > 0:02:46you just get a little spoonful...

0:02:46 > 0:02:47Put it in your hand, roll it up...

0:02:49 > 0:02:52And you should make 16 little meatballs.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Electra...- Jump cut!

0:02:55 > 0:02:57- THEY LAUGH - I do that!

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Meatballs are done.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Just going to wash my hands.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04It's very important when you've been handling raw meat.

0:03:04 > 0:03:09Stick your meatballs in the fridge for 20 minutes.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- There you go. 20 minutes, my friend.- Thank you.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16So...exactly how long did you manage to touch the telephone?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18About two hours.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Two hours.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Absolutely no willpower whatsoever.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22You know what?

0:03:22 > 0:03:26I reckon I could touch this microwave for longer than that.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- You are on.- All right.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Excuse me! Tomato sauce?

0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Er, special sauce!- Special sauce.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35And it's over here in the pan.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38You add the oil to the pan.

0:03:39 > 0:03:46And then put in the onions and the carrots and the garlic,

0:03:46 > 0:03:49and you fry them for about six minutes or until it looks soft

0:03:49 > 0:03:51but not brown.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Jump cut!

0:03:54 > 0:03:55I'm standing right here.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57So, add the tomato...

0:03:58 > 0:04:00..the puree.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Salt and pepper, please. Thank you.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06You just mix that all up.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Leave it to cook on a low heat for about 15 minutes.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Jump cut!

0:04:10 > 0:04:12So, add about a tablespoon of oil to the pan.

0:04:15 > 0:04:16There we go.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Put the meatballs in

0:04:18 > 0:04:22and leave them to cook for a few minutes over a medium heat.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Make sure you do this every 30 seconds or so,

0:04:25 > 0:04:27so then it means that they are evenly cooked

0:04:27 > 0:04:29and you don't end up squishing them with the spatula.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Prepped in 20 minutes. Made in half an hour.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55And you were nervous?

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- I don't know what you mean! - SHE LAUGHS

0:04:59 > 0:05:01So, Frank, did it really take you six months

0:05:01 > 0:05:03to work out this recipe?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Not really. I emailed it. - THEY LAUGH

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Guys, how long have I been touching the microwave for now?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Just half an hour.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Well...can you pass me some over?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Er...no!- No!- I don't think so!

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Come on, please.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19No! Have some willpower, Johnny.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Anyone want...?- Oh, yes!- Shall we?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Let's!- Seriously, come on. Please.
