0:01:28 > 0:01:31- First, the best potato - skins in the world.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- LOADED SWEET POTATO SKINS
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Wash the potatoes and dry - with a dishcloth or kitchen paper.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- This is a lovely recipe - for canapes or as part of a meal.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- I took the idea - from loaded potato skins.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Rather than halving the potato - and scooping out the middle...
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- ..I slice sweet potatoes, - bake them...
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- ..then add a topping.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- It's less fuss.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- There's no waste.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- And sweet potatoes - give a different taste.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Cut the sweet potato - in one centimetre slices.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- Put them in a bowl with a spoonful - of vegetable oil, salt and pepper.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Place on a baking tray.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Bake for 20 minutes. - Turn after ten minutes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- While the potatoes bake...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- ..I'll prepare the toppings.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Put half a tin of drained - black beans in a bowl.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- Add three large tomatoes and four - spring onions, all finely chopped.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- Crumble 100g of feta cheese - and add to the mixture.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Add a pinch of salt - and a splash of olive oil.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- The potatoes have - been cooking for 20 minutes.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- I'll put a spoonful - of topping on each slice.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- You could put anything - you like on the potatoes.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- These vegetarian ones - are always popular.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Salty feta is fab with - tomatoes and spring onions.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Black beans add substance - without using meat.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Experiment with - your favourite ingredients.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- After adding the toppings...
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- ..return to the oven - for ten minutes...
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- ..until the cheese starts to melt.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- I like serving these - with a little soured cream...
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- ..mixed with cayenne pepper.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19- Tuck in!
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- We're all great fans of spicy food.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- The next recipe is fiery!

0:04:32 > 0:04:33- LAUGHTER
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- BUFFALO CHICKEN
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- To make the buffalo sauce, - add a bottle of hot chilli sauce...
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- ..to 100g of melted butter.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Add a few drops - of Worcestershire sauce...
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- ..a tablespoon and a half - of white wine vinegar...
0:04:52 > 0:04:58- ..a pinch of cayenne pepper, - white pepper and celery salt.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Grate a little garlic - and stir until it simmers.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06- That's it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- We're ready for the chicken.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- I decided to use chicken thighs.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- It has more taste - than chicken breast.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- I'll cut it up...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- ..and get rid of any fat.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- I'm cutting them into pieces - to go on small skewers.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- You could use the recipe - for canapes with a difference.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- They're easier to eat on skewers...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- ..and don't take long to cook.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- To help the sauce - stick to the chicken...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- ..I coat the meat with plain flour.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Put it in a plastic bag and shake.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Stir the chicken in the sauce - and put on the skewers.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- I put them on baking paper - to prevent them sticking.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, - turning half-time.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- While they cook, I have time - to make a dip to go with them.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- This blue cheese dip - is perfect with buffalo chicken.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- It has a strong taste.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- It also helps cool your mouth.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- The buffalo sauce is really hot!
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Add finely grated garlic - to 100g of cheese.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Add 100ml of soured cream...
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- ..100ml of buttermilk...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- ..a tablespoon of mayonnaise, - and mix.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09- That's it...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- ..a smashing creamy sauce.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- It will be perfect - with the spicy chicken.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22- Mmm!
0:07:22 > 0:07:23- It's nice...
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- ..because you don't really - get the chilli hit at first.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- The chilli taste is coming now.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32- It builds up.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- It's so tasty!
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- I serve these - with celery and a fresh coleslaw...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- ..which is very simple to make.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- GREEN COLESLAW
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- It's slightly different - from the usual coleslaw.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- It has no mayonnaise.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- It'll be nice and crunchy - with the vegetables and apple.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Chop a small cauliflower - and a handful of kale.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- This coleslaw's star is fennel.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- I love the aniseed taste.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Don't add too much, or that - will be the only thing you taste.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Half a bulb is quite enough.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Add five spring onions...
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- ..and a fresh apple, - perhaps Granny Smith.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Leave the apple skin.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- I think it adds colour - and crunch to the coleslaw.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Mix it well, then add - a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds...
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- ..a pinch of salt and sugar...
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- ..two tablespoons - of cider vinegar...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- ..and a little rapeseed oil.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Let it stand for at least - 20 minutes before eating.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03- Green coleslaw.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05- Ooh!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- That's it, a nice, - fresh, crunchy coleslaw.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47- MONKEY BREAD
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- This is monkey bread.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- It's a different style of bread - to tear and share.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- It's easy, but really tasty too.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Put 500g of strong white - bread flour in a bowl...
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- ..with 10g of dried yeast - and 10g of salt.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Keep them apart until - you're ready to mix it all...
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- ..or the dough won't rise.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Apparently, this bread - was first made in America...
0:10:22 > 0:10:23- ..as cinnamon rolls.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- I think the name came about because - the dough was cut in small pieces.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- You pick at it, like a monkey.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35- That's the story.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- I'm making a savoury version.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Everyone loves garlic bread.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Add 330mls of water.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- I use a scraper to mix it all.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Knead the dough - for eight to ten minutes.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Shape into a ball - and put in a bowl to prove...
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- ..until it doubles in size, - which takes about an hour.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- While the dough proves, - I have a few things to do.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- First, I fetch some herbs.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- Add any herbs you like to the bread. - It's up to you.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Next, prepare the garlic.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- To give the bread an intense taste, - I like to bake the garlic.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Cut the top off a bulb.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Rub it with a little olive oil...
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- ..and put in the oven - for 25 minutes.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- The dough had doubled - in size nicely.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- This is the roast garlic.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- I squeeze the cloves out.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- What a lush smell.
0:12:09 > 0:12:15- What's nice about roasting garlic - is that it brings out the sweetness.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- It doesn't taste as strong - as when you use raw garlic.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- Now, I work the garlic - into the dough.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- When the garlic - is mixed into the dough...
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- ..finely chop the fresh herbs.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- I'm using parsley, - rosemary and chives.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Don't mix the herbs together.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Keep them apart on plates.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- This is quite a special tin, - for the Bundt style of cake.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- It's perfect for a loaf like this.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23- If you can't get one, use a tin - with a hole in the middle.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- It doesn't have - to have a hole in the middle...
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- ..but that's the traditional style.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Grease the tin - with plenty of olive oil.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Cut the dough in small pieces.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- They needn't be the same size.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Roll them into small balls - and coat with olive oil.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Then roll in the different herbs.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Now, we'll build the loaf.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Put the bread halfway up the tin. - It will rise.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- That's the last chunk.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Let it prove for half an hour.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- Then, bake for half an hour, - until it's golden brown.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Leave to cool in the tin, - then turn it out.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- To glaze the loaf...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- ..drip a little olive oil - over it, and share!
0:14:39 > 0:14:40- Wow!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Oops a daisy!

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Every time friends - come for supper...
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- ..I try to finish with chocolate, - because everyone likes it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- The good thing about this recipe...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- ..is that it's a brownie, - but in a cup shape.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- I'll add a scoop of ice cream...

0:16:12 > 0:16:16- Next, I'll add a teaspoon - of vanilla flavouring.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- I want to add - two spoonfuls of cocoa powder...
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- ..a pinch of salt...
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- ..and a little plain flour.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Lastly, I add small - pieces of white chocolate.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13- It adds another taste and - the different colour is attractive.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- This recipe - is one of the oldest ones I have.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28- I've even had friends asking - for some when I go to see them.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- One friend won't share them - with anyone else in the house!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- She eats one, now and then!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- It makes me laugh.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- It's really hard - to resist tasting this.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47- Ah, well.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- Mmm.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Right, in the oven.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Once baked, - put another muffin tin on top...
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- ..and press to make the cup shape.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Leave the muffin tins - until the brownies cool.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- In a big saucepan, - heat a little vegetable oil...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- ..and add 100g of corn.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Shake the saucepan - to coat the corn with oil.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43- Make sure you put the lid on, - or there will be popcorn everywhere.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- POPPING
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- When there are two or three - seconds between pops...
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- ..switch off the heat, - then pour in a bowl.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07- Lovely!
