Good morning. There's a tasty menu lined up for you today, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
so there's only one thing to do - sit back and enjoy the show. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
This is Saturday Kitchen Best Bites. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Welcome. I'm getting a lie-in on Saturdays now, | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
so I'm enjoying the chance to look back at some of the talented chefs | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
and great celebrity guests we've had on Saturday Kitchen. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
Coming up on today's Best Bites... | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
James Tanner is serving brioche, mustard and maple-coated lamb. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
Theo Randall is treating us to his take | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
on an Italian classic - lasagne. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
He uses veal, pancetta and prosciutto for the ragout | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
and layers it, along with creamy bechamel sauce and fresh pasta. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
One half of those Hairy Bikers, Dave Myers, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
is cooking poached chicken with chorizo and brandy sauce. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
He simply serves his chicken with a buttered baked potato | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
and fresh green beans. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
And actress Rashida Jones faces her food heaven or food hell. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
Would she get her food heaven, a dark chocolate fondant, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
or would she get her dreaded food hell, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
a chicken Caesar salad, with grapes, pecans and rosemary croutons? | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
You can find out what she gets to eat at the end of today's show. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
But kicking things off, with a touch of extravagance, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
is the culinary king of Scotland, Mr Tom Kitchin. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
What are we making then, Tom? Lobster, obviously. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Yeah, lobster. We're going to do a really nice butter | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
that people can do at home. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
They can prepare it, they can keep it in the fridge or freezer. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
Chop the ham up. Which you want me to do. Fennel, mushrooms, shallots. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
Sweat all that down and then we're going to whisk the butter | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
and pop it through the butter, so it's a really good dish | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
and something that you can make beforehand | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
and keep in the fridge, OK. Would you call this escargot butter? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
In France, when I worked with Ducasse in France, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
this is what we used to use with the snails | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
and I just changed it a bit to work with the lobster. Yeah. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
Which works well, if I don't cut my finger off! | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
Cut that in half, like so. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
This is obviously a cooked lobster, but you just blanch it. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
Yeah, I just blanched it. You see inside there, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
you've got that lovely green, the coral on the female lobster. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
I'm going to keep that and put that through the butter, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
which will make the butter green | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
but, once we cook it, it will go red like the lobster. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
It changes colour when you cook it for longer. Exactly. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
So, it's really nice. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
Again, that goes with my whole philosophy of not wasting anything. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
You mentioned the seasons of lobster cos, obviously, it's warming up. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
You wouldn't notice it out there but it is, technically, warming up. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
The seas as well. Yeah, and as the sea does warm up a little bit, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
the lobsters come out, they come out to eat more | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
which, for measly Scots like myself, means the price goes down a wee bit, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
so they tend to go on the menu then. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
A lot are coming from Canada at the moment, aren't they? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
We don't use those, Chef. Yeah. I don't use those anyway. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
We take the knuckles off, like so. Yeah. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Just tap your claw and out with the wee one there. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
And then, using the back of your knife... | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
watching your nice new shirt. Yeah. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
Take the meat out, like so. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
The idea is this will all go back in the shell with the butter. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
Yeah, we put it back in and we take the meat of the tail out as well | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
and it's going to be nice and easy to eat. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
I'm going to get these started cos you want this sort of... | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
Yeah, if you sweat that down. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
It's always good, if you're cooking it at home, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
to start with the bacon or the ham there, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
because all the natural fat will come out | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
and that will help flavour it really deliciously. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
This is what, serrano ham you're using here? | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
Yeah, serrano ham but you could use pancetta or bacon | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
or whatever you've got locally. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
So, I've taken all the meat out of the tail. Yeah. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
I'll now cut that up. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
So, if you just blanch that beforehand in boiling water | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
for about a minute, you'll get to this stage. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
Whereas Danny's busy in front of the camera, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
you have been as well, haven't you, really? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
Cos as well as the restaurants, you've been a busy chap. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
I know, I've done a TV series with Theo Randall and Michel Roux Jr, | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
called the Chef's Protege, which is on BBC2 just now. Right. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
It's just been the most amazing experience. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
We went back to my old college, Perth College, and... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
What's it like going back there? It was surreal. It was really crazy. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
They had my picture up on the wall | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
and the lecturer was the same lecturer as when I was there. Yeah. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
And we had these kids and we'd taken them on this incredible journey | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
to try and find a protege, a mentor, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
you know mentoring the kids, like Pierre Koffmann mentored myself, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
and that's what it's about. It's about mentoring | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
and it's been really tasking, testing yourself as a chef, | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
because you're so used to being in your own kitchen, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
saying, "Salt" and you've got the salt, you know. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
And this was really teaching these kids, who were just amazing. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
It's been really brilliant. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
Did you guys ever have a mentor when you were younger? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
I was paired with Timothy Spall when I left RADA | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
and you kind of went out | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
and had a few drinks with him | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
and asked him about the industry, | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
so I was really blessed to get an actor as good as Tim, really. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
I think mentoring, it's not so much mentoring, | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
but having someone that you can fall back on | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
and ask questions cos it's not easy out there, | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
especially when you open your own restaurant | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
or start films or acting for the first time. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
I'm going to do my butter now. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
I'm going pop it in the blender to soften it, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
so it's softened butter and I'm just going to whisk it. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
So, the idea behind this is is to, basically, impart your knowledge | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
and hand it down to the next group. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
Yeah, then it's finding the right kid | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
who's going to take on the knowledge. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
You want to pass on your knowledge | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
but they've got to embrace your philosophy of cooking as well, | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
so that's where it's really interesting. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
Are all these things to get out the house for a certain reason? | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
Is that...? Cos you've just had... My wife's watching, don't say that. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
You've just had two more boys? Two more boys, twins, yeah. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
So, that's four boys, now, under five, | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
so if anyone's got any shows they want me to do or anything... | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
Exactly! | 0:06:14 | 0:06:15 | |
I'm free but I need a five-star hotel to stay in and, yeah... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
I'm sorry, Michaela. Yeah. OK. You just softened the butter there. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:27 | |
I've just put the lobster in, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
which we're going to be eating in a minute. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
That's gone in the oven. Yeah, we softened the butter. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Yeah. And then we've got one which we... We sweat that all done, OK. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
So, that's the mushrooms and everything gone in there. Exactly. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
And then we're going to put this green coral into the butter. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
Do you want me to chop some...? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
A bit of tarragon, which is always good with lobster | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
and there we can see the butter goes green, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
which is really interesting. But once we cook it, it'll go red. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
We've got some breadcrumbs and almond powder | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
which helps stabilise the butter, keep it nice. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
So that keeps it on top of the lobster? Exactly. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
That stabilises it. Right. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
So this one was used in the one that was over in France | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
with the snails as well? Definitely, yeah. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
We used to do it with clams as well or mussels. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
I've got two types of herbs there. Got the parsley. Lovely. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
Tarragon's gone in. Thank you. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Then all we need after that is a bit of samphire, please. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
I'll get on and do the samphire. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
If you were doing this at home, | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
you could obviously have this all ready to go. It's less stressful. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
I know it's an expensive ingredient but if you're celebrating something | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
or trying to impress at a dinner party, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
you could have all this ready to go, | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
so the stress element is out of the dinner party | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
and you can just pop it in the oven. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
Wonderful with scallops, this, I suppose, as well. Yeah, anything. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
Yeah. Touch of water in there. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
I was trying to use the spatula but I'm just going to use my fingers. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
Look at that. Lovely. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:03 | |
This is a dish that's currently on your restaurant menu, I take it? | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
Not yet cos the price hasn't come down enough yet. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
It'll be something similar soon, yeah. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
So that's ready to go in the oven. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
OK. Are you checking the lobster? Thank you. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
I've got the samphire over here, | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
just with a little bit of water, black pepper. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
No need to put any salt in there | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
cos, obviously, it's quite salty anyway. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
OK. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:28 | |
Could maybe have done with a wee minute longer but... There you go. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:34 | |
You've got a little bit longer. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
I can just blast it in a really hot oven. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
You can look after the samphire. Tell us about that. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Samphire, which is another wonderful ingredient | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
and it's everything I'm about, seasonality. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
So, samphire in season just now and I love to use it. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
It's just wonderful. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
It's fantastic but don't season it with salt cos it is quite salty. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
Exactly. Really important you don't do that at home. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
Don't season it with salt cos it's like mussels. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
If you're making mussels, | 0:08:58 | 0:08:59 | |
don't season it cos it's naturally very salty, but a bit of butter. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
And this dish has got a lot of butter. Old butter boys here. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
I don't know what you're talking about(!) | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
TOM LAUGHS OK. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
Yeah, that's better, good. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
So you can see how the butter has really stayed on top nicely. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
Get you one of these. Don't set that on fire. Thank you. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
Let's drain some of that off. Over the top...like so. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
Look at that. It's a real... | 0:09:29 | 0:09:30 | |
It is extravagant a little bit but it is really special | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
and it can be prepared in advance as well | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
which, I know from experience, cooking at home with four kids, | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
preparing in advance is a good thing. Tell us what it is again. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
We've got the whole lobster, a beurre d'escargot, we call it, | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
with samphire on top. How good does that look? | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
It looks good. I know it tastes good | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
cos I've had it in your restaurant before. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
You've got to dive into this. Taste that. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
Let's see what Danny thinks of that. You're having that for breakfast! | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Looks amazing. Go on, tuck in. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
You put the herbs in and you put mustard... | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
Yeah, I put a bit of grain mustard and the almond powder. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
You could probably bake it in a hot oven for five to six minutes. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
You'd want to make sure it's cooked. What do you think, guv'nor? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
That is lovely! You like that? Go on. Proper that, isn't it? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
But, like you say, you can prepare that in advance. Yeah, at home. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
And it would go with most fish. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
It would go with anything - mussels, it doesn't have to be lobster, yeah. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
Butters, making butters up, even ones for steaks, | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
that's wonderful as well. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
I've been trying to tell everybody that for seven years! | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Do try that dish at home, if you can. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
And if you don't want to splash out on lobster, don't worry, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
that butter would work brilliantly with most fish. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Coming up, I serve poached egg hollandaise with asparagus | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
for Inbetweener star Blake Harrison, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
but that's after joining Rick Stein, | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
as he journeys to the Lake District to meet more of his food heroes. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
I went up to the Lake District because I was very impressed | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
by a man I met at London's Borough Market - Peter Gott. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
He brings all his produce down from here | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
and believes in rearing his pork and wild boar | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
on a scale which some people would regard as too old-fashioned | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
for modern farming. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
It might seem odd to be enthusiastic about Peter's pigs | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
when, at the time, there was so much distress around here | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
from foot-and-mouth disease. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:36 | |
It's hard to understand why upland areas of great beauty | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
like the Lake District, Northumberland, Dartmoor and Exmoor, | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
all suffered so terribly during the crisis, | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
but I am pleased to say Peter Gott's herd of wild boar were lucky. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:52 | |
He has two types here - | 0:11:52 | 0:11:53 | |
the friendly French-German crosses, | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
if you can call any wild boar friendly, | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
and lurking in the pines, with their glinty eyes no doubt fixed on us, | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
are the Russian variety, who want no truck with the television crew. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
Hey, stop it! | 0:12:07 | 0:12:08 | |
He's a big boar. Come on, Aubrey. What are you doing? | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
When they fight, they get their necks and score each other here. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
This is the armour protection to stop each other being gashed, | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
and they literally lock necks together. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
That's the massive... BOAR SQUEALS | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
He doesn't like being interfered with when he's having his breakfast. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
That's the massive shoulder pad and that is like an armour plating, | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
and that's how they fight. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
If I let the other Russian out, they'd fight to the death. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
To the death? Absolutely. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
You respect that they are a powerful animal, | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
but I'm a supplier of food and they also respect me, | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
so within reason, so it's a two-way thing. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
It's my duty to do my best with these animals. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
I don't want to double the size of my herd, | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
so when I manufacture food out of them, | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
I want to make sure I'm getting top price, | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
as much as possible, for the best quality product. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
This is some of Peter Gott's wild boar. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
It's much darker meat than ordinary pork | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
and suits this Chinese stew I'm going to do very well | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
cos it's highly aromatic, flavoured with star anise | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
and dried tangerine peel, of all things. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
Wild boar meat is stronger and more gamey than pork | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
and perfect in this dish with so many assertive flavours. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
So you cut the wild boar up into chunks | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
and sprinkle a lot of soy sauce onto it. Then comes the interesting bit. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
Having marinated the meat in the soy sauce for a bit, | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
you now deep-fry it in just ordinary sunflower oil. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
The point of this is to develop the colour | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
because it's called red-cooked wild boar | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
and also the flavour, the caramelised sugars | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
in the meat and the soy. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
Take the meat out with a perforated spoon. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
There's enough for about six here, by the way. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
Now, you pour off the oil - I'm afraid you have to discard it - | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
and you return the pork back into the pan | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
in which you will also see a deep, dark crust from the frying. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
Plenty of flavour there. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:05 | |
Add the juices that have come out of resting the meat... | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
..and lots and lots of finely sliced onions. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
This stew is good with ordinary pork if you can't get wild boar. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
Mix the onions in and now add a good lot of minced ginger and garlic. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:26 | |
Next, the interesting things - | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
tangerine peel, star anise, cinnamon | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
and a big spoonful of Szechuan pepper. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
Finally, some sugar - you usually find some in a Chinese hotpot - | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
and the soy sauce that you marinated the wild boar in, | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
some water, just to add some extra liquid, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
and a good measure of Chinese rice wine. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
OK, that's everything. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
I'm just going to stir that. It's smelling absolutely wonderful. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
This is what's so nice about this stew - it's so unusual | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
that I haven't ever given it to anybody that doesn't say, | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
"Wow! Where does this come from?" | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
I say, "It's Chinese food, actually." | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
They say, "What?!!" So, there we go. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Lid on and in the oven for about an hour and a half, I suppose. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
Now, look at that. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
It's amazing how much it's reduced and concentrated | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
in just an hour and a half. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
All you need to do now is just take a bowl | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
of slightly sticky Chinese steamed rice | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
and add the arrestingly aromatic and unctuous red-cooked meat. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:42 | |
Later, I went to Langdale to meet Farmer Sharp, who keeps Herdwicks. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:49 | |
If there was ever a symbol for the resilience of the Lake District, | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
it must be these strange-looking sheep, | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
that could well be the oldest domestic breed in the country. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
It's a very different sheep to the lowland sheep. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
They didn't breed these. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:05 | |
They brought these from Norway with the Vikings. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
What's special about the meat, then? The meat is so different from lamb | 0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | |
that you get from a commercial sheep, | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
that it might be the difference between venison and chicken. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
It's very, very different meat. Seriously? Oh, yes. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
And even as old mutton - | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
if you hang them and mature them properly, | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
they eat like butter with a big flavour. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
How would you...do you like to eat Herdwick? | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
I prefer to eat something older. Yeah. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
A leg of mutton roasted in the bottom of the Aga all day, | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
with just salt and pepper, there's just nothing better. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
I couldn't agree more. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
Mutton is such a rarity and yet it has bags of flavour, | 0:16:43 | 0:16:48 | |
particularly if the sheep have been allowed | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
to grow naturally on the fells and munch away on wild herbs. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
All you need is a few new potatoes and some peas. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:58 | |
And mutton, of course, was MADE for fresh mint sauce. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
I learnt this technique of butterflying a leg of lamb | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
in Australia because they do a lot of barbecuing there. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
The point is to make the lamb as thin as possible | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
so that it cooks quickly on the barbecue. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
Now I am going to cut through the thickest part there, | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
just flatten that out, and you can see why it's called a butterfly. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
Give it a good bashing with your fist to flatten it all uniformly. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
As you can see, it's all about an inch thick | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
and that will cook really quickly on the barbecue. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
First of all, to marinate the lamb, | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
take some lemon zest and lots of red chillies, finely chopped, | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
then add some thyme and rosemary - good aromatic herbs for a marinade - | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
some bay leaves, thinly sliced, | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
garlic, then plenty of cracked black pepper. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:52 | |
Next, the juice of about half a lemon... | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
..some extra-virgin olive oil... | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
..and finally, a lot of sea salt. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
Now work all of that into the surface of the meat | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
so the flavours all permeate the lamb, | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
then turn it over and do the same on the other side | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
and leave for about half an hour to an hour to marinate. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
While that's marinating, you light your barbecue, | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
because it's important to give it about 40 minutes, | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
and then cook the lamb. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
What I always do with a barbecue is to start with an intense heat | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
just to get very good colour and flavour | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
into the surface of the lamb. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:36 | |
But the problem with barbecuing relatively fatty meat like lamb | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
is that after a while it flares up | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
and, as is so often the case, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
you then eat something that is incredibly flamey and acrid. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
So what I like to do is push the coals to one side | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
and cook the lamb in a much more gentle fashion, | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
using almost indirect heat. It works a treat. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
But if you don't want to do it like that, | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
you can always think about putting the lamb in the oven to finish off. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
The idea is to produce a lovely brown, smoky-flavoured crust. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
I like to cut this rather thicker than you would for roast lamb | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
because it's grilled. You can see we've got two different muscles here | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
so I like to give everybody a few slices of each. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
It's such a popular dish with me, | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
I have to limit the number of times I cook it | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
because I think I'd have it three times a week, given the opportunity. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
So the whole trick here is to keep it simple. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
Let the flavour of the lamb do the business, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
along with some lightly salted chips | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
and a thinly-sliced beef tomato salad with onion and basil. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:52 | |
Perfect! | 0:19:52 | 0:19:53 | |
Remember, mutton is in season now, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
so you can make a beeline for your butcher | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
and have a go at that recipe. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
In today's masterclass, I'm answering a request | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
that quite a few viewers have been phoning and writing in about. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
Richard Burton, Jane Manning and Amanda Hislop is one of many others | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
that want to know how to make the perfect poached eggs. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
Really simple. You need a pan of boiling water, | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
salted with a touch of vinegar in it. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
I'm using a bit of white wine vinegar in it. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
You wouldn't use balsamic for this, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
otherwise it will change the colour of the water. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
The eggs are really important. Fresh eggs, as fresh as possible. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
You know when the egg's not fresh if you crack it in a pan | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
when you're pan-frying the eggs, fried eggs, | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
and the white separates. It's cos the egg shells are porous | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
and they absorb the air around them | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
and it causes the whites to degrade the older it gets. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
So the whites should separate into two parts | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
and in that bowl I can just see | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
you've got a central part of the white | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
and then the outer part. What I do... | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Ice-cold water ready, make a little whirlpool | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
and then pop it into a bowl first - it's easier to handle - | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
and just drop the egg into the centre. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
Keep it boiling, keep that cooking | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
for no more than about two minutes, a minute probably max, really. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:09 | |
We bring that to the boil and then we can gently turn that down | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
and the ice-cold water for this is really important | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
because we want to stop the cooking, | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
particularly if you've got a dinner party. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
You could do this dish for a dinner party. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:20 | |
I'm going to be doing an asparagus with hollandaise. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
Really simple dish. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:24 | |
You can have all these eggs prepared in advance | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
and in ice-cold water. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
So, what do you do if you need two or three eggs? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
Do you do them one by one? I do them one by one. You stir... | 0:21:31 | 0:21:36 | |
Yeah, you've got time though, Chef. You've got time. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
Do you break the eggs when you stir after? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
Look, if you've got time to marinate your chicken, | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
I've got time to do these eggs. OK. Fresh English asparagus, of course. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
Bang in season or the start of the season. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
A bit of salted boiling water. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
Take that out and we're going to char-grill it. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
Then all we do with the egg is lift this out... | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
..drop it into ice-cold water and it sets the egg white, | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
stops it from cooking. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
Turn the heat back up again and repeat the process like that. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
We can then lift this out of here, keep these in the fridge as they are | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
and then just before I serve it to you, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:09 | |
we're going to lift the egg out, trim off the outer part | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
and drop it into there. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
You can drop the egg into cling film and tie it up and pop it in there. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
Takes a bit longer but this is a quicker and simpler way of doing it. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
So, you basically just repeat the process. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
You look as if it's the first time you've seen a poached egg. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
I've never poached an egg in my life, | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
so I'm genuinely taking this in. I'm not surprised | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
cos your career to date has been a bit of a whirlwind, really, | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
cos you started very young. You went to drama college. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
Yeah, I did. I started off... I'd never really known anything other | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
than wanting to be an actor really, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:41 | |
so I went to Saturday schools | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
and all that kind of stuff that my mum took me to. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
Is this the same school as Leona Lewis and...? | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
That was when I was about 14, I went to the BRIT School | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
and there was Leona Lewis, Katie Melua and Adele and all that lot. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
We were all different... You know, just chilling out together(!) | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
But, yeah, so... You were ten years old | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
when you first got spotted for your first West End debut, weren't you? | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
I suppose, in a way. I was in "Oliver!" at the Palladium. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
I had my tenth birthday there. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
I remember getting a bunch of Power Ranger toys, | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
then going off and doing a West End show. Like you do. As you do, yeah. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
But I was only the chorus and stuff like that. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
But I remember just loving it cos you're ten years old, | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
you're on stage and you've got no fear, whereas when I do the play | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
that I'm going to do at Trafalgar Studios, | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
I think I'm going to be too aware of how scary it all is. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
Is that because...? The play that you mentioned, | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
cos you're lead role in that one. Yeah. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
You can hide at the back but now you can't. That's it, yeah. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
If you get a step or two wrong when you're in the chorus, | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
hopefully no-one notices but with this, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
and Trafalgar Studios is a very intimate space as well, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
so the audience is right on top of you, | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
so you've got to be really on your game and know what you're doing, | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
cos any small mistakes would be noticed, I think. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
As opposed to what we've all known you for - Inbetweeners. Yeah. | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
I mean, what an incredible success. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
It's done really well and none of us really... It's done really well! | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
To be honest, it's the writing, you know. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Iain Morris and Damon Beesley who write the show, | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
they are just brilliant. They're incredibly funny people, | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
but also a lot of the awful stuff that happens to the characters, | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
the four lads, genuinely happened to one of them or their mates. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
Like, basically, a girl propositioning you | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
and you skidding along a kind of hallway in socks | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
to try and impress them, | 0:24:32 | 0:24:33 | |
even though they've already propositioned you and, you know... | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
But the basis of the programme first was, it's a television show - | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
still is, of course. Three series you've done. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
Yeah, and then the film, yeah. And then the film. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
You can't have realised, when you did the start of it, | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
that it was going to go on to be what it is. No. But I still think... | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
You mentioned the writing but the casting was... Yeah. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
The four of you guys seemed to just gel. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
The thing is, from the writers and producers, | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
the atmosphere on set is really kind of... | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
Basically, everyone regresses, so we're all in our mid-twenties | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
and we all regress to how we were when we were about 16, 17, | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
because the writers are so immature and really big practical jokers. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
They're also the exec producers, | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
so they're supposed to be keeping us in line when, really, | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
they're the ones that will dare someone | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
to eat a bag of Haribo sweets in two minutes | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
just before they do a scene | 0:25:24 | 0:25:25 | |
and there's someone having a massive sugar crash | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
just before they've got their single and stuff like that. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
And they're supposed to be keeping us in line. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
That must have been part of the chemistry of the filming side of it. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
Yeah. It's easier to act if everybody's acting like that. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
Absolutely and, as I say, because even off-camera | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
we're still taking the mick out of each other | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
and trying to wind each other up, it really helps when you're on set. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
Also, the dialogue is written to be spoken so quickly | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
that you really have to be on it. You can't shut your brain off | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
and then go into it because you have to be really on each other's cues | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
and there's a real rhythm to the way the dialogue's written, | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
so you have to be really on it. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
The other thing as well, it is like being back at school | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
when you're on set | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
because if you come in wearing the wrong trainers | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
or something's slightly different about what you're wearing | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
or something like that, that's you for the day. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
You're the guy with the Velcro trainers | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
or the guy with this or with that, | 0:26:16 | 0:26:17 | |
so you have to be really on your guard, | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
otherwise you'll get the mick taken out of you for the whole day. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
Which is how it feels when I come onto Saturday Kitchen! | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
It's nothing like what I do to you! | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
I wouldn't dare turn a pan up at all! | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
We're just going to show you this quickly. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
I've got my hollandaise here. It's quite thick. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
All I've got in here is two egg yolks, a bit of vinegar, | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
tiny bit of lemon juice. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
The butter makes it slightly thick, so you just slacken it down | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
with a touch of water and it brings it back again. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
This is just a classic little hollandaise in there. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
I've got my asparagus char-grilling. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
The eggs are not far off, so if you've got a dinner party like this, | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
what you can do now is grab your eggs out of the bowl. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
These sit in the fridge as they are, ice-cold water as they are. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
And you just drop the eggs back in the water, like that. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
And you can see it just sets. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
You can just peel off the excess bit of whites. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
Just drop the eggs in there and they can just sit off the heat like that. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
Turn them off for a couple of minutes | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
while I get ready with everything else. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
Like I said, very different role to what you're playing now. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
Yes, Keith is like a recovering alcoholic | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
and he invites his foster parents over | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
to ask them for forgiveness for all the things he's done | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
but he still kind of blames them for the person he's become. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
He's done a lot of physical and sexually abusive things | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
to people in the past and the people that have suffered from that | 0:27:36 | 0:27:40 | |
are Alan and Judith, his foster parents. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
He actually still blames them, | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
thinks that they had something to gain | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
from having someone like him in their house for certain reasons, | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
so it's going to be interesting, when an audience sees it, | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
whether they blame Keith or the parents for what's happened to him. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
Do you think it's also quite difficult...? | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
I'm assuming it's quite difficult, | 0:27:58 | 0:27:59 | |
when you're play something like what you've been playing, | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
that huge role like in the Inbetweeners, | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
and people know you from that, | 0:28:04 | 0:28:05 | |
to then try and do something serious, or is it...? | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
Do you almost want to jump out of that and not be stereocast? | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
Yeah, the thing is that I've... | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
You know, that role in the Inbetweeners | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
has done very well for me, | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
but there's no point in me playing another dumb Londoner | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
or anything like that, because I've done it and it's done well, | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
so you want to pursue other things. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
But I've been lucky enough to play other roles. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
I did a TV series that was over here and in America | 0:28:30 | 0:28:34 | |
called The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
where I was playing an evil genius, basically, | 0:28:37 | 0:28:40 | |
and in the second series, it turns out he's the posh lord of a manor. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
We had some great people in that, | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
like the Arrested Development cast, like Will Arnett and David Cross. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:49 | |
We had Jon Hamm from Mad Men in the second series and stuff. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
He was basically playing my butler, so that was good fun to be very posh | 0:28:52 | 0:28:56 | |
and bossing around Don Draper from Mad Men. Sounds good to me. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
Little bit of salt on here, just over the top. That looks lovely. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
Then, when you go to the table, you can serve it, | 0:29:02 | 0:29:04 | |
and every single one of your egg yolks will be like that. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:09 | |
Dive into it. The new season English asparagus | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
with a little masterclass on how to poach an egg. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:15 | |
These eggs will actually hold really nicely. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:18 | |
They're all exactly the same. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
If you do this, you can cut every single one and they all stay. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
Little bit messy, dribbling down my chin. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
If you follow those steps for poached eggs, | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
they'll be perfect every time. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
If you'd like to try cooking any of the fantastic studio recipes | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
you've seen on today's show, all of those are just a click away | 0:29:36 | 0:29:40 | |
at bbc.co.uk/recipes. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:42 | |
Today, we're taking a look back at some of the tastiest recipes | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
from the Saturday Kitchen archives. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
Next up, with a true taste of spring, | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
is the talented James Tanner. Enjoy this one. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
Great to have you back on the show. Brilliant to be back. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
Er, so local, seasonal, you know, really in season this sort of food. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:59 | |
Very much so. What are we cooking? Spring lamb loin, some wild garlic, | 0:29:59 | 0:30:03 | |
some flour and butter, make a choux mix. Yeah. Choux potato mix. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
Brioche crust, maple syrup and that kind of thing. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
First off? If you could start on the garlic. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
I'll grab myself a knife. Now, this is wild garlic. Yes. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
I don't know if you've seen it before? | 0:30:14 | 0:30:16 | |
Funny enough, I went and picked some last week. There you go. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:20 | |
If you break it. I was picking that one in the New Forest. Really? | 0:30:20 | 0:30:24 | |
Love it! Isn't it garlicky? Wild garlic's fantastic. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
Cos it's garlic! When you do pick it, though, | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
pick it away from the path side, cos dogs have a habit of... | 0:30:29 | 0:30:33 | |
I was walking my dogs at the time. ..cocking their legs up against it. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
So here we go. Nice loin of lamb. I'll just do enough for one. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
We oiled the lamb up. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:41 | |
It's removed any sinew from it and it's the loin, so the back saddle. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
There's two cannons that run down there. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
To that, a touch of squashed-up garlic. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
It's the piece of meat before lamb chops are cut. Exactly. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
Exactly that. So I'll wash my hands off. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:54 | |
And you get seven lamb chops from a piece that sort of size. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:58 | |
Right, I've got my butter and the wild garlic. Mix that together. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
That's unsalted butter. Let's season it up a tiny tad. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
In there with the wild garlic, salt and pepper. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:07 | |
With the lamb, we're sealing it off. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:09 | |
I oiled the meat. A dry, hot, non-stick pan. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
Yeah. And you want a nice browny colour, seal it all over. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:16 | |
In the meantime, I've got another pan on | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
and we're going to add some water to it. A touch of butter as well. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:23 | |
This is the base for our potatoes, OK? | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
So you just want the two to start to melt together. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
We're going to make a choux mixture with the flour. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
This is the potato? It is indeed. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
A choux potato. Rolling up our butter there. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
Tell us about your restaurant, then. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
You've got two down there. This is a third one. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:39 | |
The third is called The Kitchen Cafe, | 0:31:39 | 0:31:41 | |
a brilliant little cafe concept on the Barbican, | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
below our brasserie, the Barbican Kitchen. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
Really, really nice. Just simple pastries, cakes, sandwiches, | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
delivery service, that kind of thing. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
It was great fun. We took over the premises | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
and took it as a white shell and kitted it all out. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
I really enjoy the design side of stuff | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
and it was a brilliant opportunity doing that. Good stuff. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:03 | |
Next up to the lamb - we've got to cook it in real time. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
Mmm, look! Spring carrots! Get away with them! | 0:32:05 | 0:32:09 | |
Choux pastry. Right, choux pastry. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
I've just melted the butter and the water. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
We've added the flour and you just cook it out | 0:32:14 | 0:32:16 | |
until it just starts to leave the side of the pan. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
Now I made this last week for Lenny Henry. We made, um... | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
You'd have liked that. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:23 | |
Chocolate eclairs. Eclairs. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:24 | |
I saw it, it was really good. Chocolate eclairs. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
It's left the side of the pan. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:28 | |
Now, at this stage, we've got a little mixer on the back. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:32 | |
In that goes. We're going to run the mixer now. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
And we need to do this to cool it down. Right. OK? | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
If it's too hot, it'll cook the eggs. Right. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
The lamb's gone in and we'll turn it halfway through the cooking process. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:43 | |
It'll be served pink today. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
Leave it longer if you want it more well done. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
It's quick to cook. Very much so. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:49 | |
So now, I crack a few eggs up. In they go. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:53 | |
In the meantime, you've got flat-leaf parsley. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:55 | |
This is just normal supermarket-bought brioche. Yeah. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
Blitz it all up and this is the base for our crust. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:00 | |
So, a lot going on with all this machinery. In with the eggs. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:04 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
The machine will mix the eggs in and, to that, as well, | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
we've got some pre-done mashed potato, OK? Cold mash. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
Are they boiled or baked? Boiled and then riced. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
When I say riced, just mashed up, put through a potato ricer. OK. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:20 | |
So these go in. Is it true, when you make mash, | 0:33:20 | 0:33:24 | |
that you should leave it and then, afterwards, add the milk and butter? | 0:33:24 | 0:33:28 | |
Mash it and then...? No. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:30 | |
OK. Oh, right. Wow...awkward! LAUGHTER | 0:33:30 | 0:33:35 | |
No, you... As soon as... You want a potato ricer, really. Right. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:39 | |
So when you push it through, it rices up nicely. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:41 | |
You don't want to use a masher or you get lumps in it. OK. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
Put it through a potato ricer. They're, like, a tenner. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
That's not too bad. Then add cream and butter and that sort of stuff. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:49 | |
So there we go. This is what you end up with. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:52 | |
GUESTS TALK OVER EACH OTHER | 0:33:52 | 0:33:56 | |
So, with the potato, you want to serve it cold, OK? | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
All you do is, I'm putting it on a tray, | 0:33:58 | 0:34:00 | |
putting a bit of plastic film over the top. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
The reason is, it stops it from getting a skin and a crust. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:05 | |
That's the only reason, OK? In the fridge? Yes, please. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
In the fridge. I'm going to check my old lamb. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:11 | |
Give it a little shake and you want to turn it | 0:34:11 | 0:34:13 | |
halfway through the cooking process. A couple of minutes, two minutes. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:16 | |
Right, OK, so we leave that to cook through. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:19 | |
The carrots are roasting, taking a wonderful flavour. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
Now, over to the spuds. This is where it's a little bit fiddly. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
You can use lots of different fillings for this. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
If you can cut tiny little pieces of that. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
Half a teaspoon would be fantastic. There you go. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
All we're going to do now is flour the tips and palms of our hands. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:36 | |
Take some of the cold pastry... | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
and just create a little disc, OK. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
You flour your hands so, basically, it doesn't stick. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
So you get it like this. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
Over the course of the year, | 0:34:48 | 0:34:50 | |
I like hazelnut, red wine, butter, shallots. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:52 | |
You can change all the different fillings. Right. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
But you must create a seal, otherwise they'll pop on you. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
And you don't want them to pop, James, do you? No. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:01 | |
LAUGHTER No! So we're making dough balls? | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
James, it's choux pastry! It's choux pastry! | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
Does it taste like dough balls? It's dough balls. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
No, they don't taste like dough balls, love, all right? Do they not? | 0:35:09 | 0:35:13 | |
Right. The dough balls. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:15 | |
OK, so, as I said, really, really great on flavour, | 0:35:15 | 0:35:18 | |
especially the different fillings you can put in there. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
So, we're going to do about... Why not do another two? | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
Push the boat out, James! Why not? Let's do another two! | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
Cook these around 170. Not too hot, cos it won't cook the inside. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:30 | |
You want them light and fluffy. The idea is the filling melts | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
and pops as you eat it and it's just really great flavour. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
So there we go. James, if you'd like to finish that... | 0:35:36 | 0:35:40 | |
I'm doing that. ..and I'll go over to my lamb. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
So, apart from that, tell us about your book, then, | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
cos I'm interested about that. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
Was it published in five different countries or something like that? | 0:35:47 | 0:35:50 | |
Yeah, it's hit five countries now, which is nice, obviously. Yeah! | 0:35:50 | 0:35:55 | |
And, um... Going well. Really well. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
I'm going to start working on another one soon as well, | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
which is... You know, a book's a lot of work - | 0:36:00 | 0:36:04 | |
a lot of organisation and prep | 0:36:04 | 0:36:05 | |
and, um, it's, er, it's great. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:08 | |
The one that's currently out is called Take 5. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:10 | |
Simple five-ingredient dishes, all that kind of thing. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
Really, um... I've pushed the boat out. I've done six. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
Is that all right? Why not? | 0:36:16 | 0:36:17 | |
You could Take 6 next. There you go. Take 7. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
Now I'm just finishing the lamb off and the reason why is | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
I want to make sure it's cooked, so it's nice and pink. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
We've got a touch of maple syrup, a touch of Dijon mustard. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
Grab myself a spoon. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:30 | |
In they go. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
And we're just going to give it all a little mix up. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:35 | |
You can use honey, if mustard and maple syrup doesn't float your boat, | 0:36:35 | 0:36:39 | |
but I think it works well with this. A little bit of sweetness. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
Yeah, it is, definitely. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
And the Dijon, you get that sweet and sour taste to it. Mmm. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:48 | |
The lamb, here we go. Going to put the lamb on now. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:50 | |
Want me to make the sauce? Yeah. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:52 | |
Deglaze the pan. This is sherry vinegar. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
Again, because it's got sweetness, | 0:36:54 | 0:36:56 | |
you want something a bit sharp. Yeah. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
And then, here we go. Get the lamb. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:00 | |
Obviously, clean hands, clean board and all that jazz. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
If people haven't got sherry vinegar, what can they use? | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
You could use cider, red wine, | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
go back to the old school and use a bit of balsamic, | 0:37:08 | 0:37:11 | |
but personally, I think that's so '80s, darling. Really? | 0:37:11 | 0:37:14 | |
So what we do... Just Take 5! We're going to roll the lamb off. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:17 | |
Yeah. Really, really don't be shy. Get a load of crust on it. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:23 | |
A little bit more there on the top. Swap that around. Thank you. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
Pop that back in the oven. James is going to keep that warm on the top. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
The sauce is reducing. Rapidly boil it really, really quickly. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:33 | |
The potatoes are cooking, so it's time to put the dish together. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:36 | |
Yeah. The carrots - I know you don't like them, | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
but with the rosemary and the garlic and the other flavours, it's nice. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:43 | |
And this time of year, just so, so sweet. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:46 | |
Yeah. Added sweetness to them. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:47 | |
The donkeys love 'em! LAUGHTER | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
The donkeys love 'em! | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
Serving donkeys baby carrots. Oh! | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
A couple of knobs of butter go in there. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
You want cold butter, otherwise it will split your sauce, if not. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:00 | |
And just shake the pan. I'm going to season it up. Touch of sea salt. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:04 | |
I'll finish that off. Brilliant stuff. Cool. You get your lamb. | 0:38:04 | 0:38:07 | |
Now, regards to the lamb, we've got the nice crust, as I said before. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:11 | |
As you can see, just nice and pink. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
Ideally, I'd rest it for another minute or so. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
And don't worry if bits of crust come off, that's perfectly fine. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:21 | |
Yeah. Just give it a little sprinkle. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
Again, bit of sea salt. Dough balls are ready. Sorry! | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
I mean choux buns...things. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:28 | |
We're just going to lay the lamb across... | 0:38:28 | 0:38:30 | |
..like so. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
James, you got a spoon there? Thanks, my man, look at this. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:38 | |
You make a fantastic commis chef! Just get it on the plate! All right! | 0:38:38 | 0:38:42 | |
Some of the sauce. You don't want a thick, gloopy sauce, | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
because you've got the syrup, remember, yeah? | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
Then, just to finish things off, | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
we're going to add some of these | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
lovely little crispy choux pastry balls. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:55 | |
I'm going to chuck a couple more on, | 0:38:55 | 0:38:56 | |
because you're going to have a little munch, yeah? | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, there it is. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
It's a taste of spring on a plate. What is it again? | 0:39:01 | 0:39:04 | |
So, it's maple, mustard, brioche-crusted lamb, | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
with a nice sherry-vinegar sauce and wild garlic choux Kiev potatoes. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:11 | |
Very nice. As easy as that. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:12 | |
Great stuff. There you go. Looks great. Have a seat over here. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:21 | |
If you dive into one of those choux pastry things. OK, do they pop open? | 0:39:21 | 0:39:26 | |
Yeah. Well, yeah, the idea is... Ready? | 0:39:26 | 0:39:28 | |
Oh, and it does. Look at that! | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
Lovely. We all like a dough bowl, though, come on. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:33 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
But you dive into that. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:37 | |
But they should be quite strongly garlic with that. Mmm. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
Try the lamb. The maple syrup is a really nice touch with that. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
It's the key to it because it acts like a glue | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
and it really helps that crust. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
And the sweetness with the mustard, | 0:39:48 | 0:39:51 | |
I think with spring lamb, especially, is fantastic. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:53 | |
I love how Jodie's passed on the carrots anyway. Just pass it on. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
Whether you want to call them dough balls or choux pastry potatoes, | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
they tasted absolutely delicious. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
Next up is a certain Keith Floyd | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
and he's in the Orkneys today for another of his foodie adventures. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
To begin, I thought I'd cook an Orcadian chunky fish soup - | 0:40:13 | 0:40:17 | |
a simple affair made with fresh halibut, salmon, scallops and sole. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
But as the cooking process is so simple, | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
a trip round these wonderful islands is essential, | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
to create an appetite and to give a sense of place. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
Here, there are more standing stones and ancient monuments | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
than any other place of its size in Northern Europe. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
Here they came, from unknown Stone Age peoples | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
to the Picts, Celtic monks, Norsemen, | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
Vikings and Scots of all types - | 0:40:39 | 0:40:41 | |
from religious refugees to cattle thieves. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
Even shipwrecked Spaniards from the Armada sought refuge here. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
And in both World Wars, Scapa Flow was the main base | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
for the British home fleet, | 0:40:50 | 0:40:51 | |
with the rusting remains of sunken cargo boats | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
deliberately placed at strategic points to impede German submarines. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:58 | |
Orosius, the famous Roman travel writer, | 0:40:58 | 0:41:00 | |
was dead right in his 5th-century guide to Northern Europe | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
when he said this place was brilliant | 0:41:03 | 0:41:05 | |
for fresh scallops and wildflowers, especially in May. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:08 | |
WHISTLE Ha! Yes! I hope you enjoyed that. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
They are beautiful, aren't they, these islands? | 0:41:10 | 0:41:13 | |
No wonder the Orcadians don't really want to be thought of as Scottish. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:17 | |
They're very proud of this place. Anyway, while you've been away, | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
I've been cooking away busily. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
My soup's been simmering delicately away. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:24 | |
Let me remind you of precisely how I cooked it. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:26 | |
First, I chopped up some onions, fried them in a bit of butter, | 0:41:26 | 0:41:30 | |
added some vermouth and white wine, then some fish stock. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
Then I thickened it with beurre manie - flour and butter - | 0:41:33 | 0:41:37 | |
then added cream, stirred it, simmered it a bit. It's delicious. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:40 | |
Added my bits of fish - in my case, scallops, salmon, turbot... | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
All these expensive things because we like to exploit | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
the BBC mini-breaks to the maximum. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:49 | |
You don't have to go to those lengths at home. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:51 | |
You could use simple fish like cod and conger eel, for example, | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
and still have a very fine dish indeed. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:56 | |
I think it's time to taste, to see how it is getting on. | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
It's very delicious, but it needs a little salt. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:05 | |
It's always worthwhile adding the flavouring | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
to delicate things like this at the end. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:09 | |
You get the best and the freshest flavour. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:12 | |
Incidentally, my director wanted me to make a joke like, | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
"I don't think this horse will work again." | 0:42:15 | 0:42:17 | |
I thought that was fairly tasteless. This is, in fact, fish stock. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:21 | |
HORSE WHINNIES I'm going to add more to my soup | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
because it's a bit too thick for my liking. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
So I'll add a bit of that, stir that in. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:28 | |
And I think it is absolutely ready to go. A quick slurp for me... | 0:42:28 | 0:42:32 | |
That's better. A silk handkerchief to wipe the drips off my thing. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:39 | |
And let's have a taste, see what we think. Orcadian fish soup. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:42 | |
It's heavenly. It doesn't need to be smothered | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
with chopped parsley or fresh herbs. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
The subtle flavours of the fish | 0:42:53 | 0:42:55 | |
from this wonderful cool, cold sea around these islands | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
is unimpaired, is beautiful, is delicious. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
So, it's off to meet a man from Hoy, | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
though I'm pleased to say the road was otter-free that morning | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
and there weren't any serious hold-ups. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:20 | |
David Hutchinson used to be a television cameraman, | 0:43:20 | 0:43:23 | |
restaurateur, nurse and writer. | 0:43:23 | 0:43:26 | |
But he turned his back on the bright lights of Kirkwall | 0:43:26 | 0:43:29 | |
and by painfully gathering driftwood and flotsam, | 0:43:29 | 0:43:31 | |
he set about restoring a tumbledown croft, | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
in the search for a more meaningful existence | 0:43:34 | 0:43:36 | |
and the serious business of making crab soup - | 0:43:36 | 0:43:38 | |
or partan bree, as the Scots will have it. | 0:43:38 | 0:43:40 | |
In his designer kitchen, | 0:43:40 | 0:43:42 | |
largely made from discarded fish-boxes, he explained. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:45 | |
Making the soup is a doddle. A chunk of butter in the pot, melted... | 0:43:45 | 0:43:50 | |
You didn't rise to me calling this a Scottish soup. No, no, no. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:55 | |
It's very much an Orcadian thing. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:57 | |
In the old days, the people who lived in the little crofts | 0:43:57 | 0:44:00 | |
only had about five hectares of land, | 0:44:00 | 0:44:02 | |
which was enough to grow crops for the cattle and a little meal. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
They all had little fishing boats and they went out in the bay. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:08 | |
And they fished for lobsters, which are very sought-after and expensive. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:13 | |
Often, they used to pull up crabs in their lobster pots | 0:44:13 | 0:44:16 | |
and they threw them away. But when times were hard, | 0:44:16 | 0:44:19 | |
they always resorted to the sea again to gather crabs. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:23 | |
And then, of course, by cooking it in a little butter and some milk... | 0:44:23 | 0:44:27 | |
The milk goes in at this stage. You can add it all at the same time. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:32 | |
A lot of people used to make it with the meat from the back, | 0:44:32 | 0:44:35 | |
which is brown, | 0:44:35 | 0:44:37 | |
but sometimes you can put white in. It doesn't really matter. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:40 | |
The brown just gives it a nice colour, | 0:44:40 | 0:44:42 | |
but I often think the meat from the back of the crab has more flavour. | 0:44:42 | 0:44:46 | |
In it goes, too. What, the whole lot? | 0:44:46 | 0:44:48 | |
The whole lot. If you're going to make a soup, do it on a grand scale. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:52 | |
Could you chuck that...? Indeed. Thank you. | 0:44:52 | 0:44:54 | |
Our crew will be well-fed today! Yes. For the first time in a week! | 0:44:54 | 0:44:57 | |
And the secret with this soup is you just simmer it | 0:44:57 | 0:44:59 | |
because it's been cooked already. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:01 | |
Once the cooked crab has been warmed through in the milk, | 0:45:01 | 0:45:04 | |
you add some fresh cream | 0:45:04 | 0:45:05 | |
and thicken it with about four generous handfuls of oatmeal, | 0:45:05 | 0:45:08 | |
which makes a thick, nutritious and body-building meal. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:11 | |
It takes about five minutes to make. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:13 | |
But don't serve it as a starter for some delicate little dinner party. | 0:45:13 | 0:45:16 | |
It's truly a meal in itself! | 0:45:16 | 0:45:19 | |
So, in the words of the old song, | 0:45:21 | 0:45:23 | |
you cooked it so I'll serve it. Very good. | 0:45:23 | 0:45:26 | |
It does look splendid. Here, get your... | 0:45:26 | 0:45:30 | |
Thank you. ..eating tackle around that, as they say. | 0:45:30 | 0:45:33 | |
What do you reckon? Oh, yes. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:36 | |
Can I tell you something funny? Mmm. I haven't made this for six years. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:40 | |
You haven't made it for six years? I haven't made it for six years. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:43 | |
I used to make it every day in the restaurant and I was sick of it. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:46 | |
That's the first time in six years and it's turned out right. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:49 | |
It's brilliant! It's supreme! Thank you. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:51 | |
Just in case, by the way, anybody from the tax office is watching, | 0:46:12 | 0:46:16 | |
this is NOT my yacht! I borrowed it for the day. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:19 | |
But what a fabulous place to be, | 0:46:19 | 0:46:20 | |
against the backdrop of the cliffs and the light of the Orkney Islands. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:24 | |
My diving chums are going to plunge over and raid the sea bed | 0:46:24 | 0:46:28 | |
for lobsters and crayfish and ling and fabulous things. | 0:46:28 | 0:46:31 | |
But I've been to sea before, and they may come back with nothing! | 0:46:31 | 0:46:35 | |
So I've taken the precaution of preparing | 0:46:35 | 0:46:37 | |
a traditional soup here - the Scotch broth. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:40 | |
Look down here. I've got some mutton bones simmering away | 0:46:40 | 0:46:43 | |
in water to make the basic stock. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:46 | |
I've got the obligatory dried pulses - | 0:46:46 | 0:46:48 | |
pearl barley, peas, lentils and stuff like that. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:51 | |
Chopped onions, and then, a variety of root vegetables - | 0:46:51 | 0:46:54 | |
leeks, carrots, turnips and celery. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:57 | |
All of that simmers for about two hours down in the galley | 0:46:57 | 0:47:00 | |
or until they come back with something nice to eat. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:02 | |
OK, lads! Over the side! | 0:47:02 | 0:47:04 | |
The plumage is certainly fetching, | 0:47:10 | 0:47:13 | |
but I'm not sure how long they do stay in season. | 0:47:13 | 0:47:15 | |
I've made it quite clear not to come back if they don't catch anything. | 0:47:15 | 0:47:19 | |
Argh! | 0:47:19 | 0:47:21 | |
These guys were on holiday, diving on wrecks, | 0:47:21 | 0:47:24 | |
a perfectly harmless and fascinating pastime. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:26 | |
And although I had asked them to get me a bit of fish for the pot, | 0:47:26 | 0:47:29 | |
they weren't in the business of plundering the birthright | 0:47:29 | 0:47:31 | |
of the regular fishermen, OK? | 0:47:31 | 0:47:34 | |
But back to our intrepid aquanauts, | 0:47:34 | 0:47:36 | |
like faithful hounds panting from the hunt, | 0:47:36 | 0:47:38 | |
bearing all sorts of gifts. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:40 | |
A plump crayfish - jolly tasty they are! | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
I might cook that but let's see what else they've got. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:46 | |
A HUGE lobster! A seven-pound lobster! What's that? | 0:47:47 | 0:47:50 | |
An inch a year or a pound every decade? It's an enormous beast! | 0:47:50 | 0:47:54 | |
And a sack of scallops the size of carthorses' feet! | 0:47:55 | 0:47:59 | |
I know this sounds uncharacteristically pious of me, | 0:47:59 | 0:48:02 | |
but we couldn't bring ourselves to cook this one. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:04 | |
Anyway, the pot wasn't big enough. | 0:48:04 | 0:48:06 | |
The divers and the director didn't want to do it, | 0:48:06 | 0:48:08 | |
this is the last programme and it's too fine a beast to sacrifice | 0:48:08 | 0:48:11 | |
for a trivial TV programme. | 0:48:11 | 0:48:12 | |
So it's going back to live and to breed. | 0:48:12 | 0:48:15 | |
It would have tasted really good as well! | 0:48:23 | 0:48:27 | |
FORCED LAUGHTER | 0:48:27 | 0:48:28 | |
The things we do for Greenpeace! | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
For our nautical cooking sketch number one, | 0:48:34 | 0:48:37 | |
they've given me this spacious galley. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:39 | |
Richard is in a bunk and you couldn't swing a seal in this place! | 0:48:39 | 0:48:42 | |
Anyway, I made the soup, the Scotch broth, | 0:48:42 | 0:48:44 | |
with the chopped carrots, leeks, onions, pearl barley, | 0:48:44 | 0:48:47 | |
dried peas, beans, mutton and stuff like that. | 0:48:47 | 0:48:50 | |
And a rich and warming brew it is, too. | 0:48:50 | 0:48:52 | |
That would cheer up any diver who's been about 50 fathoms deep | 0:48:52 | 0:48:56 | |
in the freezing cold North Atlantic water. | 0:48:56 | 0:48:58 | |
I'll get rid of that, if I may, and get on with the job in hand. | 0:48:58 | 0:49:01 | |
They pulled us up beautiful scallops, lovely crayfish - | 0:49:01 | 0:49:04 | |
in fact, a feast of stuff here. | 0:49:04 | 0:49:06 | |
A feast or a famine, as always, on a Floyd programme. | 0:49:06 | 0:49:09 | |
But what I've decided to do, in this very tiny space, | 0:49:09 | 0:49:11 | |
with the ship wobbling all over the place, | 0:49:11 | 0:49:14 | |
is to cook the captain a fillet of fresh crayfish. | 0:49:14 | 0:49:17 | |
That is the freshest crayfish you will ever get to taste. | 0:49:17 | 0:49:20 | |
In a London restaurant, that piece alone would probably cost 18 quid. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:25 | |
However, it might taste a little better than mine is going to do. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:28 | |
Did I hear myself say that? Of course not! | 0:49:28 | 0:49:30 | |
We pop that into some melted butter, whack the gas up. | 0:49:30 | 0:49:34 | |
The good thing about... Are you slipping, dear? | 0:49:34 | 0:49:37 | |
The good thing about these programmes | 0:49:37 | 0:49:39 | |
is we never rehearse them. | 0:49:39 | 0:49:40 | |
You couldn't possibly rehearse in a space this size. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:43 | |
Into that, we add a little chopped bacon, | 0:49:43 | 0:49:45 | |
while the gas gets up frying speed, little pieces of chopped bacon, | 0:49:45 | 0:49:49 | |
and some little pieces of red pepper, plucked from the mast, | 0:49:49 | 0:49:56 | |
from the window boxes, or porthole boxes they were grown in. | 0:49:56 | 0:50:00 | |
Let that sizzle around for a moment or two. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:03 | |
Sometimes we get letters from people saying, | 0:50:05 | 0:50:08 | |
"You don't really explain exactly what you're doing." | 0:50:08 | 0:50:12 | |
It is difficult on a small ship to give precise cookery lessons. | 0:50:12 | 0:50:17 | |
The point is, if I can make a delicious meal | 0:50:17 | 0:50:19 | |
under these conditions here, you've got no problems at home. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:22 | |
Right, while that's sizzling away, earlier - as they say in the trade - | 0:50:22 | 0:50:26 | |
I made myself some fish stock from some crayfish legs and white wine. | 0:50:26 | 0:50:31 | |
OK. I shall need that in a moment. In fact, I need that now. | 0:50:31 | 0:50:35 | |
So, Richard, a little close-up here, if I may. | 0:50:35 | 0:50:38 | |
Pour my stock into there... | 0:50:38 | 0:50:40 | |
And let that sizzle for a few moments. Keep a close eye on it. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:47 | |
And by the magic of television, we'll rejoin that in a second, | 0:50:47 | 0:50:50 | |
at a stage further on. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:52 | |
That's excellent. That's been cooking, | 0:50:56 | 0:50:58 | |
in real time, for about five or six minutes. | 0:50:58 | 0:51:01 | |
To go over my fish stock again, I merely chopped up some onions, | 0:51:01 | 0:51:04 | |
added some white wine and water and a few crayfish legs, | 0:51:04 | 0:51:07 | |
and let it simmer for about 45 minutes | 0:51:07 | 0:51:09 | |
until it was quite well reduced. I happen to have crayfish legs. | 0:51:09 | 0:51:12 | |
You could use a fish head if you had one. | 0:51:12 | 0:51:15 | |
They didn't catch any whole fish today. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:17 | |
That's the situation at the moment. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:18 | |
We've got a little bit of juice, | 0:51:18 | 0:51:20 | |
our red peppers, chopped bacon, and the crayfish | 0:51:20 | 0:51:23 | |
which is slightly undercooked, | 0:51:23 | 0:51:25 | |
because it is so delicate you mustn't overcook it. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:27 | |
Now we add some chopped leeks, | 0:51:27 | 0:51:29 | |
which have already been cooked in salted boiling water | 0:51:29 | 0:51:32 | |
and chopped quite fine. Stir those in. | 0:51:32 | 0:51:36 | |
Whack the gas up to maximum now. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:38 | |
It's always difficult. This is a tiny little galley. | 0:51:38 | 0:51:42 | |
It's got a good stove, but I'm not familiar with it. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:45 | |
And then we simply take the piece of fish out | 0:51:45 | 0:51:48 | |
to let that rest so it doesn't overcook. | 0:51:48 | 0:51:51 | |
Put it on the plate while we finish off the sauce. | 0:51:51 | 0:51:53 | |
That's gas down to minimum again. Help... | 0:51:53 | 0:51:56 | |
It's very difficult. There we are. | 0:51:56 | 0:51:59 | |
And a little drop of good Orkney cream. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:05 | |
Into there, comme ca. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:09 | |
Stir it round, | 0:52:09 | 0:52:11 | |
check for seasoning, which I will do in a second... | 0:52:11 | 0:52:14 | |
Mmm! That is extremely delicious. | 0:52:17 | 0:52:21 | |
A little bit of pepper. | 0:52:22 | 0:52:24 | |
And, pure extravagance... | 0:52:24 | 0:52:27 | |
Sorry, I'm wobbling. Are you all right, Richard? | 0:52:27 | 0:52:30 | |
I feel a bit sick, actually, Keith. | 0:52:30 | 0:52:32 | |
One of these days, he'll reply to me. He nearly did then. | 0:52:32 | 0:52:35 | |
He's had a long day. I did, Keith. | 0:52:35 | 0:52:37 | |
Right. There's our sauce. I think that's OK. | 0:52:37 | 0:52:42 | |
Mmm! It's a delicious sauce. | 0:52:43 | 0:52:45 | |
It's a delicious fillet... | 0:52:45 | 0:52:47 | |
..of crayfish. | 0:52:48 | 0:52:50 | |
We'll pop that over there like that and around like that. | 0:52:50 | 0:52:55 | |
Try and make it a little bit more decorative. | 0:52:55 | 0:52:57 | |
And what I'm going to do is offer this to the captain, to the skipper. | 0:53:00 | 0:53:06 | |
Naturally, the divers who caught it will have to eat the Scotch broth! | 0:53:06 | 0:53:10 | |
There is a class structure, of course. | 0:53:10 | 0:53:13 | |
They're the paying customers! | 0:53:13 | 0:53:14 | |
We'll call this after the ship - Crayfish Sula Sgeir - | 0:53:14 | 0:53:19 | |
and give it to the captain. | 0:53:19 | 0:53:21 | |
Mmm! Excellent! All right, is it? Delicious indeed. | 0:53:27 | 0:53:31 | |
And can you tell me the name of the ship again? | 0:53:31 | 0:53:34 | |
I just can't pronounce it properly. | 0:53:34 | 0:53:36 | |
The name of the vessel is Sula Sgeir. Sula Sgeir. | 0:53:36 | 0:53:39 | |
You don't need to have had too many Scottish ones to get THAT muddled! | 0:53:39 | 0:53:44 | |
What does it mean? It means "Gannet Rock" in Gaelic. | 0:53:44 | 0:53:47 | |
But this is far better than gannet! | 0:53:48 | 0:53:51 | |
Mmm. | 0:53:51 | 0:53:52 | |
The late, great Keith Floyd there and it's always a treat to see him. | 0:53:57 | 0:54:00 | |
As ever on Best Bites, we're looking back | 0:54:00 | 0:54:02 | |
at some of the tastiest recipes from the Saturday Kitchen larder. | 0:54:02 | 0:54:05 | |
Still to come on today's Best Bites, | 0:54:05 | 0:54:07 | |
Cyrus Todiwala and Niklas Ekstedt battle it out | 0:54:07 | 0:54:10 | |
at the omelette challenge hobs, but how would they both do? | 0:54:10 | 0:54:13 | |
Find out in just a few minutes' time. | 0:54:13 | 0:54:15 | |
Hairy Biker Dave Myers is cooking poached chicken | 0:54:15 | 0:54:18 | |
with chorizo and brandy sauce. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:20 | |
He simply serves his chicken | 0:54:20 | 0:54:21 | |
with a buttered baked potato and fresh green beans. | 0:54:21 | 0:54:25 | |
And Rashida Jones faces her food heaven or food hell. | 0:54:25 | 0:54:27 | |
Would she get her food heaven, a dark chocolate fondant, | 0:54:27 | 0:54:30 | |
or would she get her dreaded food hell, | 0:54:30 | 0:54:32 | |
a chicken Caesar salad with grapes, pecans and rosemary croutons? | 0:54:32 | 0:54:36 | |
You can find out what she gets to eat at the end of today's show. | 0:54:36 | 0:54:39 | |
Now, lasagne is up next on today's menu | 0:54:39 | 0:54:42 | |
and who better than Theo Randall to show us how it's done? | 0:54:42 | 0:54:46 | |
So, what's on the menu for you then? So, we're going to make lasagne | 0:54:46 | 0:54:49 | |
but the difference is, we're going to use veal. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:52 | |
So were going to use some pancetta, some prosciutto, | 0:54:52 | 0:54:54 | |
some veal, which is not minced, it's just chopped veal. Yeah. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:57 | |
It's much nicer chopped because you get much more texture in the sauce. | 0:54:57 | 0:55:01 | |
Yeah. Basically, it's a ragout and we're going to use sofrito - | 0:55:01 | 0:55:05 | |
celery, onion, carrot. Yeah. Sofrito? | 0:55:05 | 0:55:07 | |
Sofrito. And then we're going to add some rosemary - | 0:55:07 | 0:55:10 | |
it's a nice background flavour, rosemary - white wine and milk. | 0:55:10 | 0:55:13 | |
So, it all seems very creamy and, sort of, light. | 0:55:13 | 0:55:16 | |
I've got to get my sauce on. You're making me a bechamel. | 0:55:16 | 0:55:19 | |
Bechamel. So, the recipe for the bechamel is just milk. | 0:55:19 | 0:55:22 | |
Now, normally, you'd put a little bit of onion in here but you don't, | 0:55:22 | 0:55:25 | |
you just put a touch of bay leaf. Just put bay leaf, yeah. OK. | 0:55:25 | 0:55:27 | |
We've got onion in the base already so we don't need more. All right. | 0:55:27 | 0:55:30 | |
And then, nice... Why veal then? | 0:55:30 | 0:55:33 | |
Because, obviously, traditionally, people would use beef in the UK | 0:55:33 | 0:55:37 | |
but I suppose, is it, you can use anything over in Italy? | 0:55:37 | 0:55:41 | |
Ragouts tend to be veal or beef | 0:55:41 | 0:55:42 | |
but I think this is just a variation on it. | 0:55:42 | 0:55:45 | |
It's quite nice to have something different and if you've got veal, | 0:55:45 | 0:55:48 | |
then it's a good way of doing it. | 0:55:48 | 0:55:50 | |
This is flank, or you could use a bit of shoulder, | 0:55:50 | 0:55:52 | |
and it has a different flavour completely. | 0:55:52 | 0:55:54 | |
If you use the addition of something like pancetta... Yeah. | 0:55:54 | 0:55:57 | |
..it just has a much nicer, richer flavour | 0:55:57 | 0:56:00 | |
because all that fat from the pancetta | 0:56:00 | 0:56:03 | |
sort of seasons the meat. Yeah. So, it's really rather nice. | 0:56:03 | 0:56:06 | |
So, could you peel that carrot for me? | 0:56:06 | 0:56:08 | |
Yeah. Thank you very much. Grate the cheese as well. | 0:56:08 | 0:56:11 | |
So, we've got some celery, carrot and onion... | 0:56:11 | 0:56:13 | |
Looking at this, the proportion of veg to meat is a lot less. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:18 | |
There's not a lot of veg in this. Right. | 0:56:18 | 0:56:20 | |
Cos the veg is just to start it off and get that seasoning going. | 0:56:20 | 0:56:23 | |
So, if we get some olive oil in the pan. Not butter. | 0:56:23 | 0:56:27 | |
Or, actually, you know what? I'll put a bit of butter. | 0:56:27 | 0:56:30 | |
I'll put half and half, just to keep you happy. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:32 | |
OK, so, a bit of butter in there. There you go. | 0:56:32 | 0:56:35 | |
And we are going to add our onion... | 0:56:35 | 0:56:38 | |
Got to be quick now, it's burning! ..celery. | 0:56:38 | 0:56:41 | |
Where's the carrot? I'm just going to slow down! | 0:56:41 | 0:56:43 | |
Add the rosemary to that. There you go. | 0:56:43 | 0:56:45 | |
Bit of rosemary. Not too much, just a bit. Yeah. | 0:56:45 | 0:56:48 | |
Then we add our prosciutto. | 0:56:48 | 0:56:49 | |
You've got prosciutto and pancetta. | 0:56:49 | 0:56:52 | |
So, two really nice, salty cured meats. Yeah. | 0:56:52 | 0:56:54 | |
And then add those in. | 0:56:54 | 0:56:57 | |
And that's going to soften. | 0:56:57 | 0:56:59 | |
You want me to do the sauce for this, don't you? | 0:56:59 | 0:57:01 | |
So, we've got the butter and the flour. That's right. | 0:57:01 | 0:57:05 | |
So, that all goes in together. OK. Now, I'm using a wooden spoon. | 0:57:05 | 0:57:09 | |
This is a special spoon from Simon and Georgina Cook, from London. | 0:57:09 | 0:57:12 | |
A special spoon? Yes. I don't want to burn this ladle. | 0:57:12 | 0:57:15 | |
You burnt this one earlier, didn't you? | 0:57:15 | 0:57:17 | |
THEO LAUGHS | 0:57:17 | 0:57:18 | |
I'm going to hold it in my hand so I don't burn it. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:21 | |
So, all that lovely flavour, all that rosemary and the onions | 0:57:21 | 0:57:24 | |
and the pancetta's about to go in. Yeah. | 0:57:24 | 0:57:26 | |
So, put the pancetta in and then we're going to add the veal. | 0:57:26 | 0:57:30 | |
So, just season the veal. | 0:57:30 | 0:57:31 | |
Now, a lot of foods, in France particularly, | 0:57:31 | 0:57:36 | |
vary from region to region, the same dish. Yeah. | 0:57:36 | 0:57:39 | |
Some use fish, some use meat - the same in Spain. | 0:57:39 | 0:57:41 | |
Is lasagne the same? You have different ones? | 0:57:41 | 0:57:43 | |
Well, in Italy, you have lots of different variations of baked pastas | 0:57:43 | 0:57:47 | |
but I think... Yeah, I think there will be variations | 0:57:47 | 0:57:50 | |
but, essentially, you know, it's a meat baked pasta | 0:57:50 | 0:57:54 | |
with a sort of bechamel. What area would it come from? | 0:57:54 | 0:57:58 | |
I would say this would be from Bologna. Right. | 0:57:58 | 0:58:01 | |
OK, so that's all cooking nicely. We're going to add our chopped veal. | 0:58:01 | 0:58:06 | |
So, it's the same ragout-based dish. Exactly. That kind of stuff. | 0:58:06 | 0:58:10 | |
So, we're going to add this. In she goes. | 0:58:10 | 0:58:13 | |
Just try and lightly break it up so it's not in a big lump. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
Have you got my...? Can you see the texture? | 0:58:16 | 0:58:18 | |
It's lovely nice pieces of veal, as opposed to mince. | 0:58:18 | 0:58:21 | |
I don't know what the thing is about veal anymore. | 0:58:21 | 0:58:23 | |
People in the UK still have this thing about veal. Yeah, I know. | 0:58:23 | 0:58:26 | |
I think it's how it USED to be. It's not the same now but it's... | 0:58:26 | 0:58:30 | |
And if you drink milk you should eat veal, really. Absolutely, yes. | 0:58:30 | 0:58:34 | |
Veal isn't very popular in the UK, I don't know why. | 0:58:34 | 0:58:37 | |
OK, so... But it's the rose veal that you need to look for? | 0:58:37 | 0:58:40 | |
It's the rose veal, yeah. In Italy, most of the meat you get, | 0:58:40 | 0:58:44 | |
it's usually 12-month-old cows, | 0:58:44 | 0:58:46 | |
which is, sort of, in between a beef and a veal | 0:58:46 | 0:58:49 | |
and it is this sort of rose meat. | 0:58:49 | 0:58:51 | |
And it has got a very subtle flavour. | 0:58:51 | 0:58:53 | |
But there are fantastic suppliers of veal out in the UK, aren't there? | 0:58:53 | 0:58:56 | |
There's some really good ones, actually. | 0:58:56 | 0:58:58 | |
OK, so we're going to add some white wine. | 0:58:58 | 0:59:01 | |
There you go. So, we're not really getting lots of colour in this. | 0:59:01 | 0:59:04 | |
We're just going to let it stew together. | 0:59:04 | 0:59:07 | |
Add some tomatoes. | 0:59:07 | 0:59:09 | |
Put those in. Just use tinned tomatoes. | 0:59:10 | 0:59:12 | |
You could use fresh but just use tinned ones | 0:59:12 | 0:59:14 | |
cos they've got that richness and ripe flavour. | 0:59:14 | 0:59:16 | |
You're making this with just normal flour, aren't you? | 0:59:16 | 0:59:19 | |
Delia's got that fancy flour. What's fancy about it? | 0:59:19 | 0:59:22 | |
It doesn't do lumps in your white sauce, does it? | 0:59:22 | 0:59:24 | |
What is it? A lump-free flour? A lump-free flour | 0:59:24 | 0:59:27 | |
but I actually use the whisk for this. | 0:59:27 | 0:59:29 | |
You need the right pan, obviously, a non-stick pan, really. | 0:59:29 | 0:59:32 | |
And just keep it over the heat until you get most of it in. OK. | 0:59:32 | 0:59:35 | |
I use a whisk for this, rather than a spoon | 0:59:35 | 0:59:37 | |
cos it takes you way, way too long. | 0:59:37 | 0:59:40 | |
So, I'm just going to add some milk. So, why milk in that? Cos I know... | 0:59:40 | 0:59:43 | |
It's just lighter and veal's quite nice with milk. | 0:59:43 | 0:59:46 | |
It makes it fresher. | 0:59:46 | 0:59:47 | |
You get lots of dishes where they cook with veal or pork and milk. | 0:59:47 | 0:59:50 | |
But you've got the prosciutto, the pancetta, celery, onion, | 0:59:50 | 0:59:53 | |
and then you got that veal, and that tomato and milk. | 0:59:53 | 0:59:56 | |
Just cook it really slowly for about an hour and a half. | 0:59:56 | 0:59:59 | |
I'll just pop that at the back of the stove, | 0:59:59 | 1:00:01 | |
then we've got one that's been made already. Yeah. | 1:00:01 | 1:00:04 | |
I'll move that for you. There you go. Thank you very much. | 1:00:04 | 1:00:07 | |
Lift off the lid. That's what it should look like. | 1:00:07 | 1:00:09 | |
You end up with this nice chunky... Ow, that's hot! It is, very hot. | 1:00:09 | 1:00:13 | |
Thank you very much for that! Chunky, chunky texture. | 1:00:13 | 1:00:15 | |
And I'm going to get this dish. | 1:00:15 | 1:00:18 | |
You always use a cloth. Always use a cloth. | 1:00:18 | 1:00:20 | |
Thanks very much. I've got no feeling in my hands. | 1:00:20 | 1:00:22 | |
I can't feel this sauce. THEO LAUGHS | 1:00:22 | 1:00:24 | |
OK, so, that's got this nice texture of, um... | 1:00:24 | 1:00:28 | |
Can you see that? The meat's all, sort of, chunky. Yeah. | 1:00:28 | 1:00:31 | |
Nice and juicy. It's not too juicy, it's just, sort of... | 1:00:31 | 1:00:34 | |
Looks like the end of my finger! Let's see your blister. | 1:00:34 | 1:00:37 | |
No, it's fine. Oh, OK. RUBY WAX LAUGHS | 1:00:37 | 1:00:39 | |
What we're going to do, we've got our pasta, we've got the dish... | 1:00:39 | 1:00:42 | |
We're going to add olive oil to this, | 1:00:42 | 1:00:44 | |
so it makes it non-stick. Yeah. | 1:00:44 | 1:00:46 | |
And give it a good rub all on either sides. | 1:00:46 | 1:00:50 | |
Then we get our pasta. That's fresh pasta. | 1:00:51 | 1:00:54 | |
This is so much nicer using fresh pasta, | 1:00:54 | 1:00:56 | |
as opposed to those dried packets you get. | 1:00:56 | 1:00:59 | |
Makes a massive difference. | 1:00:59 | 1:01:00 | |
Just cut your sheets in half. | 1:01:00 | 1:01:03 | |
There's that and you want cheese in there as well. | 1:01:03 | 1:01:06 | |
Cheese in there as well. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:07 | |
So, that's a layer of the... A layer of pasta. Yeah. | 1:01:07 | 1:01:12 | |
Often when you're doing this | 1:01:12 | 1:01:13 | |
people would brown the meat off beforehand. None of that? | 1:01:13 | 1:01:16 | |
You don't need to cos you get so much flavour from the ingredients. | 1:01:16 | 1:01:19 | |
And what about those pasta sheets that people use? | 1:01:19 | 1:01:22 | |
They're fine. Cook them beforehand? | 1:01:22 | 1:01:24 | |
Yeah, cook them beforehand but, the thing about them is, | 1:01:24 | 1:01:27 | |
the fresh pasta's got egg yolk in it, so it's got a much richer taste. | 1:01:27 | 1:01:30 | |
So I would always use fresh pasta. | 1:01:30 | 1:01:32 | |
It's got a whole egg. I put the whole... The whole egg? OK. | 1:01:32 | 1:01:35 | |
It didn't matter. Nobody was watching! | 1:01:35 | 1:01:37 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:01:37 | 1:01:38 | |
But normally with an egg yolk in it, yeah? | 1:01:38 | 1:01:40 | |
And then pop that again. One more layer. | 1:01:40 | 1:01:42 | |
And the great thing about this is you can make it the day before | 1:01:42 | 1:01:45 | |
and you pop it in the fridge and then invite your friends round, | 1:01:45 | 1:01:48 | |
whack it in the oven and it is a brilliant, brilliant family dish. | 1:01:48 | 1:01:52 | |
You're doing a lot of festivals around the country. | 1:01:52 | 1:01:54 | |
Is it that you London folk like to get out in the country? | 1:01:54 | 1:01:57 | |
I'm not out in the country, I'm actually in London. | 1:01:57 | 1:02:00 | |
I'm doing a day for Action Against Hunger at Taste of London | 1:02:00 | 1:02:03 | |
and I'm doing some demonstrations at Jamie's Big Feastival | 1:02:03 | 1:02:07 | |
at Clapham Common, which is in... | 1:02:07 | 1:02:08 | |
You call that the country, don't you, Clapham Common? | 1:02:08 | 1:02:11 | |
Well, yeah, it is a bit country. THEO LAUGHS | 1:02:11 | 1:02:14 | |
OK, it's green. Yeah, it's green. On you go then. | 1:02:14 | 1:02:17 | |
OK and then, that's that. | 1:02:17 | 1:02:18 | |
On top, last layer of pasta. | 1:02:18 | 1:02:21 | |
Then finish with the bechamel, more cheese on top. | 1:02:21 | 1:02:25 | |
Plenty of it. Look at that. It's like Blue Peter. | 1:02:25 | 1:02:29 | |
GUESTS CHATTER INDISTINCTLY | 1:02:29 | 1:02:33 | |
A spatula... There you go. Thank you. | 1:02:33 | 1:02:36 | |
Get all those bits out. | 1:02:36 | 1:02:38 | |
And then make sure the pasta's all covered. | 1:02:38 | 1:02:40 | |
The best bit about the lasagne is the crispy bits on the side, | 1:02:40 | 1:02:43 | |
so leave little bits hanging over. Yeah. | 1:02:43 | 1:02:46 | |
And then just finish that off with some fresh Parmesan. | 1:02:46 | 1:02:50 | |
In the oven? And then we're going to pop that in the oven. | 1:02:50 | 1:02:54 | |
Open the oven. How long does this go in for? | 1:02:54 | 1:02:57 | |
This goes in for about 45 to, sort of, 45 to an hour. | 1:02:57 | 1:03:00 | |
It looks amazing. | 1:03:00 | 1:03:02 | |
Dish in. Check that out! | 1:03:02 | 1:03:04 | |
The nice thing about this is there's lots and lots of pasta. | 1:03:04 | 1:03:07 | |
The problem with a lot of these lasagnes is too much mincemeat, | 1:03:07 | 1:03:11 | |
as opposed to the actual pasta. Yep. | 1:03:11 | 1:03:13 | |
It should be really, sort of, puffed up. | 1:03:13 | 1:03:16 | |
And don't serve salad with it, just serve it as it is. | 1:03:16 | 1:03:20 | |
Have the salad to start. | 1:03:20 | 1:03:22 | |
Then pop a nice big portion like that. | 1:03:22 | 1:03:24 | |
That's a starter, OK? THEO LAUGHS | 1:03:24 | 1:03:28 | |
It is where I come from! I know it is. | 1:03:28 | 1:03:30 | |
And then a bit of Parmesan, a bit of black pepper | 1:03:30 | 1:03:33 | |
and there is my veal lasagne. | 1:03:33 | 1:03:36 | |
Now it's perfect. THEO LAUGHS | 1:03:36 | 1:03:39 | |
There you go. It's a little bit of Yorkshire on an Italian dish! | 1:03:43 | 1:03:46 | |
I can see that! Right, you get to dive into this. Oh, God! | 1:03:46 | 1:03:51 | |
That's nice, oh, good. | 1:03:51 | 1:03:53 | |
Tell us what you think of that one. OK. This is the dietetic one, right? | 1:03:53 | 1:03:58 | |
Once you've made it, could you put it in the fridge and then cook it? | 1:03:58 | 1:04:01 | |
Definitely, you could make it the day before. | 1:04:01 | 1:04:03 | |
In fact, it'd be even better. | 1:04:03 | 1:04:04 | |
Do it the day before and then put it in the oven. | 1:04:04 | 1:04:07 | |
Do you mind if I don't burn my mouth this time? It'll be really hot. | 1:04:07 | 1:04:09 | |
Much hotter than the other one. | 1:04:09 | 1:04:11 | |
Can we make 45 minutes go as fast as you just did? | 1:04:11 | 1:04:14 | |
Just eat the little bit of cheese. Or eat the butter. | 1:04:14 | 1:04:17 | |
SHE MUMBLES: It's happened again! | 1:04:19 | 1:04:21 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:04:21 | 1:04:23 | |
Rich, creamy and packed full of flavour. | 1:04:28 | 1:04:31 | |
Now, the heat was on when Niklas Ekstedt faced Cyrus Todiwala | 1:04:31 | 1:04:34 | |
for his first crack at the omelette challenge, | 1:04:34 | 1:04:37 | |
but how would they both do? Let's find out. | 1:04:37 | 1:04:39 | |
It's time for the omelette challenge. | 1:04:39 | 1:04:41 | |
There's Paul, still sitting smugly at the top of our board. | 1:04:41 | 1:04:44 | |
17.5 seconds. So, Cyrus, you're on here as well. I am on there. | 1:04:44 | 1:04:48 | |
27.5 seconds. Really? Niklas, who would you like to beat on our board? | 1:04:48 | 1:04:51 | |
It would be Rene. | 1:04:51 | 1:04:53 | |
King of Scandinavian cooking, I have to beat him. | 1:04:53 | 1:04:56 | |
He would be this gentleman over here. 32 seconds. Usual rules apply. | 1:04:56 | 1:05:00 | |
Three-egg omelette, cooked as fast as you can. Are you ready? Yes. | 1:05:00 | 1:05:03 | |
Let's put the clocks on the screens. Three, two, one, go. | 1:05:03 | 1:05:06 | |
The concentration on their faces. I know! And it's... Wow! | 1:05:20 | 1:05:24 | |
Niklas is making sure he wants to get on the board. That's the key. | 1:05:26 | 1:05:29 | |
TWO CYMBOL CLANGS IN SUCCESSION | 1:05:30 | 1:05:33 | |
Oh, no! Looks like a disaster! | 1:05:33 | 1:05:35 | |
Both really good omelettes, though, | 1:05:35 | 1:05:37 | |
I have to say. Which one shall we taste first? | 1:05:37 | 1:05:40 | |
DO you have to say? Well... | 1:05:40 | 1:05:42 | |
They look awful! Yeah... LAUGHTER | 1:05:42 | 1:05:44 | |
I love omelettes and they look horrid! | 1:05:44 | 1:05:46 | |
Caroline, you need to watch this show a bit more than you have done | 1:05:46 | 1:05:49 | |
because this... That's as good as it gets, is it? | 1:05:49 | 1:05:51 | |
This is as good as it gets. Oh, dear. Yeah. | 1:05:51 | 1:05:54 | |
Most you don't need a fork, you need a straw! | 1:05:54 | 1:05:56 | |
A bit like this one. Mine is a little better, no? | 1:05:56 | 1:06:00 | |
Yeah, a little better. | 1:06:00 | 1:06:02 | |
It's a wonder I'm not ill. You won't get ill with eggs! Right. | 1:06:04 | 1:06:09 | |
Niklas, did you beat your mate over here? Come on, please! | 1:06:09 | 1:06:14 | |
Looks like you did. | 1:06:16 | 1:06:18 | |
You beat him. Yes! Well done. Whoo! | 1:06:18 | 1:06:21 | |
I told you this is really competitive. | 1:06:21 | 1:06:23 | |
Just put him back up there. I'll have a text message in a minute. | 1:06:23 | 1:06:27 | |
You did it a lot quicker. | 1:06:27 | 1:06:28 | |
You did it in 27.2 seconds, which puts you over here. There you go. | 1:06:28 | 1:06:34 | |
So, quite a way up the board. Cyrus, where were you? | 1:06:34 | 1:06:39 | |
There, in the corner. I don't think I'm any better. | 1:06:39 | 1:06:43 | |
Where were you, anyway? Right there. There. On the left, yeah. | 1:06:44 | 1:06:49 | |
You were quicker. Egghead. You did it in 24.8. Oh, wow! | 1:06:49 | 1:06:54 | |
So, substantially quicker. Finally! Puts you about there. | 1:06:54 | 1:06:57 | |
This is so flawed, this whole thing. | 1:06:57 | 1:07:00 | |
If I just put a load of raw egg on a plate... | 1:07:00 | 1:07:03 | |
I could put a raw egg on a plate and I'd win it! | 1:07:03 | 1:07:05 | |
Great work, gents. | 1:07:10 | 1:07:11 | |
Now, inspired by his travels, Dave Myers is giving us a taste | 1:07:11 | 1:07:14 | |
of some Argentinian sunshine | 1:07:14 | 1:07:16 | |
with his next dish - chorizo and brandy chicken. | 1:07:16 | 1:07:20 | |
Good to have you on the show. What are you cooking today? | 1:07:20 | 1:07:22 | |
I've got me motor running today. I've got some chicken. | 1:07:22 | 1:07:26 | |
I'm going to make a broth and poach it | 1:07:26 | 1:07:28 | |
with some onion, cloves, bay leaf, celery, | 1:07:28 | 1:07:30 | |
carrot, garlic, paprika and thyme. | 1:07:30 | 1:07:34 | |
That makes the broth. OK. | 1:07:34 | 1:07:35 | |
Then I'm going to reduce that, then finish it with some chorizo, | 1:07:35 | 1:07:39 | |
some Spanish brandy, then bake it with some Manchego cheese. | 1:07:39 | 1:07:42 | |
It's a lovely supper dish. Manchego cheese is lovely. Great, isn't it? | 1:07:42 | 1:07:45 | |
Served with some French beans, is that right? Yes, you do the beans. | 1:07:45 | 1:07:48 | |
So where is this dish from? | 1:07:48 | 1:07:50 | |
Argentina, but whenever you go to countries | 1:07:50 | 1:07:53 | |
that have a large migrant population - | 1:07:53 | 1:07:55 | |
the Spanish people were there - these great dishes come out. | 1:07:55 | 1:07:59 | |
The first thing we have to do is to brown the chicken. | 1:07:59 | 1:08:01 | |
Yeah. Let's put some oil in, eh? Is this dish in your series? | 1:08:01 | 1:08:05 | |
Yes, it's in the new book! | 1:08:05 | 1:08:08 | |
Available from all good bookshops(!) Everyone's a winner! | 1:08:08 | 1:08:11 | |
And they all work! So, chicken goes in. | 1:08:11 | 1:08:14 | |
It's very important that you brown the chicken, James. Yeah. | 1:08:14 | 1:08:17 | |
Cos at the moment, it looks like our Gillian | 1:08:17 | 1:08:20 | |
when she's had her legs waxed and she's waiting for a sunbed! | 1:08:20 | 1:08:23 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:08:23 | 1:08:25 | |
This is the culinary equivalent of a St Tropez! | 1:08:25 | 1:08:29 | |
I'll wash my hands now, because I've handled raw chicken. | 1:08:29 | 1:08:32 | |
I've heard that! Right, go on then. | 1:08:32 | 1:08:35 | |
The beans are going in. Beans are on, smashing. | 1:08:35 | 1:08:37 | |
I'm sure Gillian will be really happy! | 1:08:37 | 1:08:41 | |
She's a lovely woman, she works in intensive care. | 1:08:41 | 1:08:43 | |
LAUGHTER She does! | 1:08:43 | 1:08:46 | |
She's one of life's angels, is our Gill. | 1:08:46 | 1:08:49 | |
Ooh, gosh! We've got a fire! Look at that! | 1:08:51 | 1:08:54 | |
That was a bit Nick Nairn, wasn't it?! | 1:08:54 | 1:08:56 | |
He always does that, gets cheap laughs. | 1:08:56 | 1:08:59 | |
It was a bit Alice Cooper, that. OK, what's next? | 1:08:59 | 1:09:02 | |
We need to make a broth, James. Right. | 1:09:02 | 1:09:05 | |
Whack the stock in for us, that's it. | 1:09:05 | 1:09:07 | |
This is chicken stock? Absolutely. | 1:09:07 | 1:09:09 | |
That's proper chicken stock, it's jelly. | 1:09:09 | 1:09:12 | |
Remember, we're going to strain all the veg and bits out, | 1:09:12 | 1:09:15 | |
so celery goes in... | 1:09:15 | 1:09:17 | |
Where's my...? Oh, it's here. | 1:09:17 | 1:09:19 | |
Stud the onion with a couple of cloves. | 1:09:19 | 1:09:22 | |
We don't want too many cloves or it'll be like going to the dentist. | 1:09:22 | 1:09:25 | |
Pop that in. | 1:09:25 | 1:09:27 | |
Right. Some bay leaves, just a couple. Thank you. | 1:09:27 | 1:09:32 | |
My carrot, to see through the week. | 1:09:32 | 1:09:35 | |
Oh! The garlic! Just give it a bash. | 1:09:35 | 1:09:39 | |
The reason why you're putting them in their skins, | 1:09:41 | 1:09:43 | |
you're just going to take that out? Oh, yeah. | 1:09:43 | 1:09:45 | |
It's just like making soup, really. Ordinary paprika, not smoked. | 1:09:45 | 1:09:49 | |
You don't want it too intense. | 1:09:49 | 1:09:50 | |
Look at that. Now we put our Gillian into the stock pot. | 1:09:52 | 1:09:56 | |
Look at that. LAUGHTER | 1:09:56 | 1:09:58 | |
Wait till you get home, she's going to murder you! | 1:09:58 | 1:10:01 | |
It's a lovely umber colour. Hopefully. | 1:10:01 | 1:10:02 | |
Hopefully. Now, it's a brilliant way... | 1:10:02 | 1:10:07 | |
Chicken poached is fantastic. Yeah. Because it never goes tough. | 1:10:07 | 1:10:10 | |
If you're making chicken sandwiches, poach the chicken first. | 1:10:10 | 1:10:14 | |
You can really turn an old boiler into a princess. | 1:10:14 | 1:10:16 | |
Where do you get them from? Where do they come from? | 1:10:16 | 1:10:19 | |
I don't know. No, no, it's just the way I think - laterally. | 1:10:19 | 1:10:24 | |
That's the worry! It's spitting, that. What's next? | 1:10:24 | 1:10:27 | |
I'll get rid of that pan. Cheers. Put it on there. Trivet. | 1:10:27 | 1:10:31 | |
Right, after about 20 minutes, this will have reduced to this, | 1:10:31 | 1:10:36 | |
and here's one we did earlier. What I need to do now is sieve it. | 1:10:36 | 1:10:40 | |
Shall I get a sieve? There you go. Thank you. | 1:10:40 | 1:10:42 | |
Eddie, you must have been to Argentina on your travels. | 1:10:42 | 1:10:44 | |
Argentina is... Great food there. | 1:10:44 | 1:10:46 | |
Great beef, as well. Great everything. | 1:10:46 | 1:10:48 | |
Great horses, great girls, great bars, great motor racing... | 1:10:48 | 1:10:52 | |
We went to Fangio's house when we were there. Have you been there? | 1:10:52 | 1:10:55 | |
Where's that? Fangio, the racing driver. | 1:10:55 | 1:10:58 | |
He was a bit older version of mine, but he was an absolute legend. | 1:10:58 | 1:11:03 | |
There's controversy at the moment, who was the greatest driver ever, | 1:11:03 | 1:11:06 | |
Fangio or Michael Schumacher. | 1:11:06 | 1:11:08 | |
Of course, having been part of the Michael Schumacher era, | 1:11:08 | 1:11:12 | |
I'd go for Schumacher, but the older people will say | 1:11:12 | 1:11:14 | |
no-one could have ever touched Fangio. | 1:11:14 | 1:11:16 | |
Then there was the great Carlos Reutemann | 1:11:16 | 1:11:19 | |
who drove for Ferrari and who is the governor of Santa Fe... Is he? | 1:11:19 | 1:11:23 | |
..just outside Buenos Aires, a wonderful man. | 1:11:23 | 1:11:25 | |
You gave Schumacher his first break in Formula One, didn't you? | 1:11:25 | 1:11:28 | |
Well, albeit only one race. | 1:11:28 | 1:11:31 | |
Bernie Ecclestone nicked him from me after that. | 1:11:31 | 1:11:33 | |
he nicks everything from everybody, | 1:11:33 | 1:11:35 | |
so don't worry, I wasn't the exception! | 1:11:35 | 1:11:36 | |
Now, back to the food! Yes, sorry - back to the food! | 1:11:36 | 1:11:39 | |
That lovely poached chicken, put it in a roasting tin. | 1:11:39 | 1:11:42 | |
I've got the stock reducing. I need that a bit faster. | 1:11:42 | 1:11:47 | |
We want it so it's bouncing around like a morris dancer with worms. | 1:11:47 | 1:11:51 | |
DAVE GIGGLES | 1:11:51 | 1:11:54 | |
It's your thought processes, dude! How do you even...? | 1:11:54 | 1:11:57 | |
Bells, everything, and hair...and real ale. | 1:11:57 | 1:12:00 | |
And slippers. Champion. Right, OK. What's next? Discard this. | 1:12:00 | 1:12:04 | |
Do you want me to get rid of that? Yes, please, thank you. | 1:12:04 | 1:12:06 | |
To thicken this, we'll make a beurre manie - it sounds very grand, | 1:12:06 | 1:12:10 | |
but it's not really. It's basically flour and butter. | 1:12:10 | 1:12:14 | |
It's a bit cheffy, but it really works. | 1:12:14 | 1:12:16 | |
It's better than using cornflour as a thickener in your sauces. | 1:12:16 | 1:12:19 | |
Tastes brilliant, as well. Butter is flavour. | 1:12:19 | 1:12:23 | |
Do you want me to throw the brandy in there as well? | 1:12:23 | 1:12:27 | |
Just a minute, James. We could do, couldn't we? Put some chorizo... | 1:12:27 | 1:12:30 | |
Chorizo is lovely. This is the cooking stuff? Yes. | 1:12:30 | 1:12:34 | |
That's the residue of the chicken, the poached broth. | 1:12:34 | 1:12:37 | |
I'm going to reduce that to intensify the flavour. | 1:12:37 | 1:12:40 | |
Put some brandy in. | 1:12:40 | 1:12:42 | |
Do you remember that Thunderdog you used to drink on your 18-30s | 1:12:42 | 1:12:45 | |
that's at the back of the cupboard? You can use that. | 1:12:45 | 1:12:47 | |
It's fine for this! LAUGHTER | 1:12:47 | 1:12:50 | |
Thunderdog! Do you remember it? I bet you have! | 1:12:50 | 1:12:52 | |
Down there in Fuengirola with your suntan. | 1:12:52 | 1:12:56 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:12:56 | 1:12:58 | |
The beurre manie, the flour and butter, | 1:12:58 | 1:13:00 | |
is simply added to that, and we thicken it. | 1:13:00 | 1:13:03 | |
Now, James, could you grate me some Manchego cheese? | 1:13:03 | 1:13:07 | |
Tell us a little bit about Manchego, because I love it. It's Spanish. | 1:13:07 | 1:13:10 | |
It's Spanish, it's a hard cheese. | 1:13:10 | 1:13:12 | |
It's kind of on the Parmesan vibe or pecorino vibe. | 1:13:12 | 1:13:15 | |
It's lovely with some quince jelly or nice serrano ham, Iberico ham. | 1:13:15 | 1:13:20 | |
Yeah, the pata negra, the black-footed pig, it's delicious. | 1:13:20 | 1:13:23 | |
But it matures a bit like Parmesan, really. Yes, that's quite young. | 1:13:23 | 1:13:28 | |
How we want it. | 1:13:28 | 1:13:30 | |
If you think, we've got this sauce which has all the essences | 1:13:30 | 1:13:34 | |
of all the veg and the chicken, the spicy sausage and the brandy. | 1:13:34 | 1:13:39 | |
What we do is we throw that on the chicken, like so. | 1:13:39 | 1:13:44 | |
It is, it's great. | 1:13:47 | 1:13:48 | |
Lovely. What's next? Cheese? | 1:13:48 | 1:13:51 | |
Cheese. That goes on there. | 1:13:51 | 1:13:54 | |
Now, it's one of these dishes where you could stop now | 1:13:54 | 1:13:57 | |
and leave it for an hour or two. | 1:13:57 | 1:13:58 | |
Then when you have your dinner party, get your starters out | 1:13:58 | 1:14:02 | |
and then put that in the oven. You put the cheese in after, though? | 1:14:02 | 1:14:06 | |
Put it in the tray and put the cheese on? | 1:14:06 | 1:14:08 | |
Yes, you want the cheese to go stringy and toasted. | 1:14:08 | 1:14:10 | |
How long does it go in for? 15 minutes, that's all. | 1:14:10 | 1:14:12 | |
Now, here's one we did earlier! Look at that! | 1:14:12 | 1:14:15 | |
The sauce has thickened up, the richness is all there. | 1:14:15 | 1:14:18 | |
It's fantastic. I've got a baked potato - it's really quite hot. | 1:14:18 | 1:14:22 | |
I've got some parsley here. Not yet, no. | 1:14:22 | 1:14:25 | |
Oh, not yet! | 1:14:25 | 1:14:27 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:14:27 | 1:14:29 | |
You could drain me beans, James. I'll do that. Good man. | 1:14:29 | 1:14:33 | |
A little bit of breast, myself. | 1:14:33 | 1:14:35 | |
Drain the old beans. | 1:14:39 | 1:14:41 | |
Shall we do the jacket potato in fours, for that retro look? | 1:14:41 | 1:14:45 | |
We'll give it a squidge like that, so it holds the butter. | 1:14:46 | 1:14:49 | |
We're all impressed over here, I've got to say. | 1:14:49 | 1:14:51 | |
Do you want a spoon for the sauce? This is us, impressed. | 1:14:51 | 1:14:54 | |
Thanks, James. Do you want anything on these beans, black pepper...? | 1:14:54 | 1:14:59 | |
Oh, that'd be nice. | 1:14:59 | 1:15:01 | |
You had to ask, didn't you, James? Got to ask! | 1:15:01 | 1:15:06 | |
SI LAUGHS | 1:15:06 | 1:15:08 | |
It's in the new book, this recipe. | 1:15:08 | 1:15:11 | |
Which is available from all good bookshops! Just get it on there! | 1:15:11 | 1:15:14 | |
I am, I am! Now, some parsley sprinkles - look at the colours! | 1:15:14 | 1:15:19 | |
Parsley sprinkles. | 1:15:19 | 1:15:21 | |
Wipe the edge up. | 1:15:21 | 1:15:23 | |
Remind us what that is again, boss. | 1:15:23 | 1:15:25 | |
It's a wonderful Argentinian poached chicken | 1:15:25 | 1:15:28 | |
with a chorizo and brandy sauce. Look at it. | 1:15:28 | 1:15:30 | |
It looks like a migraine, doesn't it? | 1:15:30 | 1:15:32 | |
Do I have to follow that? Easy as that! It TASTES great. | 1:15:32 | 1:15:36 | |
Could be a risotto if it had rice! | 1:15:38 | 1:15:41 | |
He's trying to take it already! Dive in. | 1:15:41 | 1:15:43 | |
Eddie, you get to taste this. Oh, good - I'm looking forward to it. | 1:15:43 | 1:15:46 | |
I was just saying to Si, for me, this is very Spanish. Oh, aye. | 1:15:46 | 1:15:51 | |
I'll have to remove all the parsley, because I hate it! | 1:15:51 | 1:15:54 | |
But if it hadn't got the spud, and you had rice, | 1:15:54 | 1:15:59 | |
it would be a paella. Yes, of course. Same ingredients. | 1:15:59 | 1:16:02 | |
Pass it down and I'll give you another piece. | 1:16:02 | 1:16:04 | |
It's quite all right. No-one is ever that nice to me. I'll get rid of it. | 1:16:04 | 1:16:07 | |
Parsley, guys, I just can't cope with. | 1:16:07 | 1:16:10 | |
What is it you don't like about it, Eddie? | 1:16:10 | 1:16:13 | |
I just don't like it, never did. | 1:16:13 | 1:16:14 | |
Fennel, parsley, parsnips and turnips. Absolute horrors. | 1:16:14 | 1:16:20 | |
Anyway, this is great. You need that after your six-hour drive! | 1:16:20 | 1:16:23 | |
Tell us what you think. After you, ladies. Thank you. | 1:16:25 | 1:16:29 | |
Impressed? | 1:16:29 | 1:16:31 | |
Looks beautiful. Very strong, the chorizo. | 1:16:31 | 1:16:34 | |
Because it has a fantastic flavour | 1:16:34 | 1:16:36 | |
and anyone who either lives or travels or even now, | 1:16:36 | 1:16:40 | |
there's more chorizo available in the supermarkets, | 1:16:40 | 1:16:43 | |
it gives it such a strong flavour | 1:16:43 | 1:16:45 | |
and it makes it very foreign. | 1:16:45 | 1:16:47 | |
That is really good. | 1:16:47 | 1:16:49 | |
Picante's the one thing to look for, that spicy chorizo. Girls? | 1:16:49 | 1:16:52 | |
Beautiful. Gorgeous. That's great. | 1:16:52 | 1:16:55 | |
I must admit, I'd never heard anyone describe their food | 1:17:00 | 1:17:03 | |
as looking like a migraine before but, trust me, it tasted incredible. | 1:17:03 | 1:17:08 | |
Now, when actress Rashida Jones came into the studio | 1:17:08 | 1:17:10 | |
to face her food heaven or food hell, | 1:17:10 | 1:17:13 | |
she wanted chocolate over fruit and nuts | 1:17:13 | 1:17:15 | |
but which one did she get? Let's find out. | 1:17:15 | 1:17:17 | |
It's time to find out if Rashida will be facing | 1:17:17 | 1:17:20 | |
food heaven or food hell. Food heaven would be this pile | 1:17:20 | 1:17:22 | |
of dark chocolate all over here. | 1:17:22 | 1:17:24 | |
Lots of different things. We've some bananas, | 1:17:24 | 1:17:26 | |
banana ice cream, banana fritters. | 1:17:26 | 1:17:28 | |
We've got some chocolate sauce making there, | 1:17:28 | 1:17:30 | |
with some chocolate fondant. | 1:17:30 | 1:17:32 | |
Alternatively, it could be this pile of ingredients over here. | 1:17:32 | 1:17:35 | |
We've got fruit, nuts, all into a salad with some chicken. | 1:17:35 | 1:17:37 | |
What do you think you're going to get? With these two deciding. | 1:17:37 | 1:17:40 | |
I'm hoping for heaven, but I'm prepared for hell. It's like life. | 1:17:40 | 1:17:43 | |
It was never in any doubt. It's all a whitewash. | 1:17:43 | 1:17:46 | |
Food heaven, so that's what you're going to get. Yay! | 1:17:46 | 1:17:48 | |
You've got lots of chocolate to get through as well, | 1:17:48 | 1:17:50 | |
so first thing we're going to do is make a chocolate fondant | 1:17:50 | 1:17:53 | |
and to do that, we melt good quality dark chocolate together | 1:17:53 | 1:17:56 | |
in the bowl like this. | 1:17:56 | 1:17:58 | |
So, throw all this lot in. Two and a half bars, all right? | 1:17:58 | 1:18:01 | |
So, the idea of this is it's got a liquid centre. | 1:18:01 | 1:18:04 | |
That's what we're looking for. OK. | 1:18:04 | 1:18:06 | |
Then we throw in some butter. | 1:18:06 | 1:18:07 | |
Love butter. Well... You're on this show, so you might as well. | 1:18:07 | 1:18:10 | |
That all goes in also. | 1:18:10 | 1:18:12 | |
We melt this down and then what we're going to do | 1:18:12 | 1:18:14 | |
is we're going to create these fritters | 1:18:14 | 1:18:16 | |
and for that, we're going to use some flour. | 1:18:16 | 1:18:19 | |
We're going to use some cornflour, a little bit of baking powder | 1:18:19 | 1:18:23 | |
mixed together with some sparkling mineral water. Oh! | 1:18:23 | 1:18:26 | |
And that's going to make our fritters with our bananas. | 1:18:26 | 1:18:29 | |
So, if you could then do that, that would be great. Yep. | 1:18:29 | 1:18:31 | |
I'm going to prepare my little moulds here. | 1:18:31 | 1:18:33 | |
We've got some grated chocolate. How can I be useful? | 1:18:33 | 1:18:36 | |
You can butter these moulds, if you want. OK. | 1:18:36 | 1:18:38 | |
There is a pastry brush there. I can do that. | 1:18:38 | 1:18:40 | |
Little bit of melted butter in there, | 1:18:40 | 1:18:42 | |
so you can butter these moulds. They go in as well. | 1:18:42 | 1:18:45 | |
And we just basically grate this nice and fine. | 1:18:45 | 1:18:47 | |
It's better to do this on paper cos chocolate, when you grate it, | 1:18:47 | 1:18:50 | |
it's static and it never comes off the plate. | 1:18:50 | 1:18:52 | |
So, if you do it on paper it's much easier to...use. That's it. | 1:18:52 | 1:18:56 | |
Butter the moulds really well | 1:18:56 | 1:18:59 | |
and then we just pour this chocolate into the moulds. | 1:18:59 | 1:19:02 | |
Probably just need two. | 1:19:02 | 1:19:03 | |
That's probably enough for us. There you go. | 1:19:03 | 1:19:06 | |
Like that. So, with all your work and bits and pieces, | 1:19:06 | 1:19:08 | |
do you get time to do much cooking at home? | 1:19:08 | 1:19:10 | |
I don't suppose you do, do you? I do, but it's pretty simple. | 1:19:10 | 1:19:13 | |
It's pretty straightforward cooking for me. | 1:19:13 | 1:19:15 | |
What's the trademark Rashida dish, then? What's... | 1:19:15 | 1:19:18 | |
Stir-fry. Stir-fry. That's the one. | 1:19:18 | 1:19:20 | |
Yeah, you can kind of throw anything into it, you know? | 1:19:20 | 1:19:23 | |
Whatever's left in your fridge. Apart from chocolate. Yeah, well... | 1:19:23 | 1:19:26 | |
We'll see. You never know. | 1:19:26 | 1:19:27 | |
Right, we've got our chocolate basically just lined here. | 1:19:27 | 1:19:30 | |
You can use coconut and that kind of stuff. | 1:19:30 | 1:19:32 | |
The idea is if you just mix this together. | 1:19:32 | 1:19:34 | |
We want this to melt nicely. OK. | 1:19:34 | 1:19:36 | |
I'm going to make a chocolate sauce out of this, | 1:19:36 | 1:19:38 | |
so we're going to use some water. | 1:19:38 | 1:19:41 | |
I'm going to use some sugar. A little bit of sugar. There it is. | 1:19:41 | 1:19:44 | |
A bit of sugar. Make a stock syrup very quick. | 1:19:44 | 1:19:47 | |
And then throw in some chocolate. | 1:19:47 | 1:19:49 | |
Mmm. And take it off the heat and it will, basically, stir down. | 1:19:49 | 1:19:52 | |
When you're ready with the fritters, guys, | 1:19:52 | 1:19:54 | |
if you can get on and do that, that would be great. | 1:19:54 | 1:19:57 | |
So, that's that one. We're almost... We'll switch that heat off. | 1:19:57 | 1:20:00 | |
Who wouldn't like that? I'm sorry. | 1:20:00 | 1:20:02 | |
Look at that. It's pretty good, yeah. | 1:20:02 | 1:20:04 | |
And then what we're going to do is make a... | 1:20:04 | 1:20:06 | |
Two mixes, really. First, I'm going to whip up some egg whites | 1:20:06 | 1:20:09 | |
or if you could whip up some egg whites, | 1:20:09 | 1:20:11 | |
once you've done the bananas, that'd be great. | 1:20:11 | 1:20:13 | |
We'll use the egg yolks for one...like that. | 1:20:13 | 1:20:16 | |
So, if you could whip them up, that would be great. Lovely. | 1:20:16 | 1:20:21 | |
And then, once all the chocolate and the butter's melted, | 1:20:21 | 1:20:24 | |
then we can throw in the sugar into the egg yolks. | 1:20:24 | 1:20:28 | |
So, this is the chocolate fondant part of it, you see? | 1:20:28 | 1:20:31 | |
Mix this together. How are we doing with that? | 1:20:31 | 1:20:33 | |
Pretty good. That's pretty... That's getting there. | 1:20:33 | 1:20:36 | |
The banana fritters, Chris is on that. | 1:20:36 | 1:20:38 | |
You've made that sort of batter and then that gets deep-fried. | 1:20:38 | 1:20:41 | |
At the same time now, we can get our sugar and caramelize this | 1:20:41 | 1:20:45 | |
for our fritters. So, just plain sugar in a pan. | 1:20:45 | 1:20:48 | |
See the concentration on your face there. | 1:20:48 | 1:20:51 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:20:51 | 1:20:53 | |
I don't want to mess it up. It's heaven, you know? Right. | 1:20:53 | 1:20:56 | |
Just take that off the heat. That's it there. | 1:20:56 | 1:20:58 | |
You want me to chop it up and put on the tray? | 1:20:58 | 1:21:00 | |
Yeah, that's for our ice cream. That would be great. | 1:21:00 | 1:21:02 | |
Egg yolks and sugar mixed together | 1:21:02 | 1:21:04 | |
and then you pour this chocolate on, you see? | 1:21:04 | 1:21:07 | |
Oh. | 1:21:07 | 1:21:09 | |
Pour it onto the egg yolks. Mmm. | 1:21:10 | 1:21:13 | |
Mix together. You got the egg whites whisked up as well. | 1:21:13 | 1:21:15 | |
So, that's that one. There you go. | 1:21:15 | 1:21:17 | |
The fritters are happening over there | 1:21:17 | 1:21:19 | |
and if we mix this together... Frying nicely. | 1:21:19 | 1:21:21 | |
You can do it, if you want. Do you want to do it? | 1:21:21 | 1:21:23 | |
Mix that together. Yeah. Throw in the almonds. | 1:21:23 | 1:21:26 | |
Throw in the cornflour as well. That can go in. | 1:21:26 | 1:21:30 | |
Whoops! Sorry. That's all right. Don't worry. | 1:21:30 | 1:21:34 | |
Keep mixing it. That's it and then... | 1:21:34 | 1:21:37 | |
Want me to take over? | 1:21:38 | 1:21:40 | |
Am I not doing a good job? No, that's fine. | 1:21:40 | 1:21:42 | |
Happy with that? Yep. Good. | 1:21:43 | 1:21:45 | |
And then, what we do now is just fold in the egg whites, | 1:21:45 | 1:21:49 | |
which Jason's done nicely. So, we just quickly fold them in. | 1:21:49 | 1:21:52 | |
Now, you need to be quite quick with this. | 1:21:52 | 1:21:55 | |
You quickly fold them in cos you want to get the air in, | 1:21:55 | 1:21:58 | |
but you don't want to mess around | 1:21:58 | 1:21:59 | |
and leave them out of the oven for too long. | 1:21:59 | 1:22:01 | |
You can keep these in the fridge nicely. | 1:22:01 | 1:22:03 | |
Then what we do you, once we get this mixture like that, | 1:22:03 | 1:22:06 | |
you pour this mixture in. | 1:22:06 | 1:22:09 | |
Like that. You leave room for it to rise? | 1:22:12 | 1:22:15 | |
No, you got some chocolate truffles. Oh! | 1:22:15 | 1:22:18 | |
They go in the centre. OK. Like that. | 1:22:18 | 1:22:22 | |
And then we pour this... A-ha! ..over the top. | 1:22:22 | 1:22:25 | |
So, you get that molten-y chocolate centre. Well, that's the idea. | 1:22:25 | 1:22:28 | |
And then you put this in the fridge. OK. And then cook them. | 1:22:28 | 1:22:31 | |
These have got about another two minutes left in here. | 1:22:31 | 1:22:34 | |
Yeah, another couple of minutes left in there. | 1:22:34 | 1:22:36 | |
They want to cook for about eight minutes from the fridge | 1:22:36 | 1:22:39 | |
or straight from the oven like that. These fritters can come out | 1:22:39 | 1:22:42 | |
and we're nearly there with our caramel. | 1:22:42 | 1:22:44 | |
That's just straight sugar in a pan. OK. Right. | 1:22:44 | 1:22:47 | |
So, about Cuban Fury, are you still keeping the dancing up, then? | 1:22:47 | 1:22:51 | |
Salsa is your thing, is it? I try. I try to do it when I can. | 1:22:51 | 1:22:55 | |
I miss it. I went to the premiere the other night | 1:22:55 | 1:22:58 | |
and all the great dancers in the movie were dancing | 1:22:58 | 1:23:01 | |
and I felt a little bit intimidated. | 1:23:01 | 1:23:03 | |
But I try. Cos there's certain elements... What about you? | 1:23:03 | 1:23:06 | |
What? No. There's certain elements you want to take away from it | 1:23:06 | 1:23:09 | |
and certain things that you don't | 1:23:09 | 1:23:10 | |
cos I remember watching the movie yesterday and I remember seeing Nick | 1:23:10 | 1:23:13 | |
and he shaved his chest... Right. That's what happened to me. Right. | 1:23:13 | 1:23:17 | |
I had to shave my chest and worst of all, I had to go for a spray tan. | 1:23:17 | 1:23:21 | |
Yeah. Yeah. LAUGHTER | 1:23:21 | 1:23:23 | |
What are you laughing at? | 1:23:23 | 1:23:25 | |
Just you shaving your chest and having a spray tan. | 1:23:25 | 1:23:27 | |
You had to! You were told to do that. | 1:23:27 | 1:23:29 | |
So, normally with a spray tan, they put you... | 1:23:29 | 1:23:31 | |
It's about 300ml, isn't it, to spray a person? | 1:23:31 | 1:23:35 | |
It depends. It depends on your height. | 1:23:35 | 1:23:37 | |
They used a litre on me! Ooh! | 1:23:37 | 1:23:40 | |
A litre! Ooh! Have you ever had a spray tan? | 1:23:40 | 1:23:43 | |
On purpose? Yeah, I get like a thimble. Yeah, right. | 1:23:43 | 1:23:46 | |
Literally, they used a litre on me. | 1:23:46 | 1:23:48 | |
I woke up in the morning and then had a shower. | 1:23:48 | 1:23:51 | |
I came back and it was like some dead body had decomposed in my bed. | 1:23:51 | 1:23:55 | |
Literally! It was horrendous sort of stuff. | 1:23:55 | 1:23:58 | |
And the lady... The poor lady that was spray tanning me. | 1:23:58 | 1:24:00 | |
There was more on her with the overspray from the spray booth. | 1:24:00 | 1:24:03 | |
It left me mentally scarred for the rest of my life. | 1:24:03 | 1:24:05 | |
So, that was the last time you've ever done that. Never, ever again. | 1:24:05 | 1:24:08 | |
When you have to wear a leotard, that's what you have to do. | 1:24:08 | 1:24:11 | |
Do you want to take the fondants out for me? | 1:24:11 | 1:24:13 | |
We're going to make this ice cream now. | 1:24:13 | 1:24:15 | |
This is something you can do back in LA. | 1:24:15 | 1:24:17 | |
Watch this, Rashida. This is very cool. | 1:24:17 | 1:24:19 | |
So, you take frozen bananas. The fritters can... | 1:24:19 | 1:24:22 | |
Those things can just come out now, those fondants. | 1:24:22 | 1:24:24 | |
Switch the timer off. Just press "Clear". | 1:24:24 | 1:24:28 | |
I like this recipe. This is a good one. | 1:24:28 | 1:24:30 | |
He likes it. You all right there? Yeah. | 1:24:30 | 1:24:33 | |
Stick them on the board there. !ow! | 1:24:33 | 1:24:35 | |
And then we're going to make this ice cream. | 1:24:35 | 1:24:38 | |
Now, all you just use is vanilla, like that, and buttermilk. | 1:24:38 | 1:24:42 | |
Right. We've got our pot here. In goes the sesame seeds. | 1:24:42 | 1:24:46 | |
I'm going to show you one and get the boys to do the other one. | 1:24:46 | 1:24:48 | |
So, these are your fritters, you take caramel. | 1:24:48 | 1:24:51 | |
You put it into the caramel like that. | 1:24:51 | 1:24:54 | |
Roll these around in the sugar. Mmm. Turn it off. | 1:24:54 | 1:24:58 | |
And then to seal it and stop it from cooking, | 1:24:58 | 1:25:01 | |
once you've sealed it all, | 1:25:01 | 1:25:03 | |
take the fritter straight in ice-cold water. Oh, OK. | 1:25:03 | 1:25:07 | |
It just stops it from cooking, so they all get rolled around together. | 1:25:07 | 1:25:10 | |
I'm going to get the guys to do the rest of this. | 1:25:10 | 1:25:12 | |
It's pure sugar in here, nothing else. Love it. | 1:25:12 | 1:25:15 | |
Meanwhile, the ice cream. Lid on. | 1:25:15 | 1:25:17 | |
Oh, sorry. Yeah, you... | 1:25:17 | 1:25:19 | |
Grab a plate. | 1:25:25 | 1:25:27 | |
If you can scrape that down, Jason, while it's blending, | 1:25:27 | 1:25:30 | |
that would be great. What do you want me to do? | 1:25:30 | 1:25:32 | |
Just scrape that down while it's blending, just a bit. | 1:25:32 | 1:25:34 | |
Sauce is ready. | 1:25:34 | 1:25:36 | |
What do you want me to do? | 1:25:39 | 1:25:41 | |
That's going to end up with a spatula in there! | 1:25:41 | 1:25:43 | |
You're making that Magimix really work...work hard today. | 1:25:43 | 1:25:48 | |
Have you got one of these in your restaurant? No. Right. | 1:25:50 | 1:25:53 | |
I've got... They're called commis chefs. Commis chefs! | 1:25:53 | 1:25:56 | |
They cost about 25 grand a year. I'll tell you what we need. | 1:25:56 | 1:25:59 | |
We need a bit of double cream. We haven't got any, but anyway. | 1:25:59 | 1:26:02 | |
FOOD PROCESSOR STOPS Keep going! Oh, keep going. | 1:26:02 | 1:26:04 | |
It's all gone wrong. It's not gone... | 1:26:04 | 1:26:07 | |
It would have gone wrong. | 1:26:07 | 1:26:08 | |
It'd all have turned blue if you had stuffed this in there. | 1:26:08 | 1:26:11 | |
Keep it going. Just keep it going. It's nearly there. | 1:26:11 | 1:26:14 | |
We've got our sauce. We've got our fondant. | 1:26:14 | 1:26:17 | |
Just lift these out. | 1:26:17 | 1:26:18 | |
Where's my grated...? Oh! What's going on? | 1:26:19 | 1:26:22 | |
Don't break the machine! Just leave the machine! | 1:26:22 | 1:26:24 | |
Right. Chocolate fondant. | 1:26:28 | 1:26:31 | |
Lift this out. | 1:26:32 | 1:26:34 | |
How are we doing? It's getting there. | 1:26:36 | 1:26:39 | |
So, like, next Tuesday, we'll have some ice cream? | 1:26:40 | 1:26:43 | |
That's all right, we've got time. Football Focus starts soon. | 1:26:43 | 1:26:45 | |
We've got time. Don't worry. Right, a bit of this. | 1:26:45 | 1:26:48 | |
That's the chocolate sauce to go with that. Lovely. | 1:26:48 | 1:26:52 | |
Fritters. Ice-cold fritters. | 1:26:52 | 1:26:54 | |
We're nearly there. | 1:26:54 | 1:26:56 | |
Whoa, whoa, whoa. | 1:26:57 | 1:26:59 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:26:59 | 1:27:01 | |
GQ Man of the Year here. | 1:27:08 | 1:27:11 | |
Not here, HERE. Right. | 1:27:11 | 1:27:13 | |
Oh, look at that! There we go. See? | 1:27:16 | 1:27:19 | |
Anyway, Rashida, shall we go for a cup of tea? No, it's nearly ready! | 1:27:19 | 1:27:22 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:27:22 | 1:27:25 | |
Go for it. | 1:27:25 | 1:27:26 | |
You see? | 1:27:27 | 1:27:29 | |
I, too, can do stuff trendy. I can't dress trendy. | 1:27:29 | 1:27:33 | |
Oh, you can, James! No, I went into one of your shops recently. | 1:27:33 | 1:27:36 | |
I tried something on. | 1:27:36 | 1:27:37 | |
The only thing that could fit me was a pair of socks, I think. | 1:27:37 | 1:27:40 | |
There you go, Rashida. Dive into that. Great! | 1:27:40 | 1:27:43 | |
Instant banana ice cream, hot chocolate fondant to go with it. | 1:27:43 | 1:27:45 | |
Should I break this open? You can break it. | 1:27:45 | 1:27:48 | |
It should be liquid in the centre. | 1:27:48 | 1:27:50 | |
Oh, yeah! Look at that. Is it all right? | 1:27:50 | 1:27:53 | |
Oh, yeah. That's your heaven. | 1:27:53 | 1:27:56 | |
Are you happy with that? Yes! Oh! It's great, right? Mmm. | 1:27:56 | 1:28:00 | |
Hot chocolate fondant. Mmm. | 1:28:00 | 1:28:02 | |
I was pleased he got the thumbs-up there, Rashida. | 1:28:07 | 1:28:10 | |

I've got a track, actually, stuck in me head. | 1:28:36 | 1:28:37 | |
I heard it on Charlie Sloth. Oh, yeah? Going to be massive. | 1:28:37 | 1:28:40 | |
What? It's gonna bang? Yeah. | 1:28:40 | 1:28:41 | |
