That sounds very chefy, doesn't it? 01:17 Yeah. 01:19 And do you want to be a chef when you grow up? 01:20 Yes. Look at that, excellent. 01:23 Chefing is a very, very fun occupation. 01:25 So, welcome to Cook:30 for Kids. 01:27 So, what is on the menu today? 01:30 Macadamia and cranberry toasted granola 01:34 with homemade almond milk. 01:35 And wild berries with maple yogurt. 01:39 Hmm, that sounds so delicious. 01:42 So, to get started with cooking, 01:44 we wanna make sure we start with a really clear bench. 01:47 We got all our ingredients out. 01:49 We got a chopping board, we got our blender ready. 01:52 We got the oven turned on. 01:54 We got boiling water in the jug. 01:55 All these little things 01:57 that you start beforehand a couple of minutes 01:58 getting set up can save you 10 or 20 minutes later 02:02 when you're cooking, so take the time 02:04 when you begin to set up really well. 02:06 And there's one thing that's really important in cafe 02:08 and restaurant land is called prep, 02:10 so the more set up and planning you can do, the better. 02:12 So today, we're cooking a breakfast. 02:15 So, we're going to be doing stuff 02:16 you would normally find in the supermarket. 02:18 And this stuff where you normally find 02:19 with lots and lots preservatives and sugar 02:21 and really bad stuff. 02:22 So we're doing a toasted muesli, 02:24 so you can buy cereal in packets full of sugar. 02:26 We're gonna show you how to make a healthy one 02:28 and we've got a yogurt. 02:30 We've got a very nice yogurt made of tofu of all things 02:33 that tastes really yummy, believe it or not, 02:35 and our own homemade almond milk, 02:38 so this is a really great breakfast combination 02:40 and once you learnt to make these, 02:42 they're just so, so, easy 02:43 and you really enjoy making them. 02:45 So let's get started. 02:47 So the first thing you wanna start with the thing 02:48 that's gonna take the longest and that is the almonds. 02:50 So we're gonna actually soak the almonds, 02:52 we got some boiling water here. 02:54 So if you can grab some almonds behind the blender there. 02:58 So if you can measure up one cup of almonds. 03:01 And we're gonna soak these in boiling water 03:02 for probably about 10 minutes before we make the almond milk 03:05 and this will just help soften them up. 03:07 So when we blend the milk, it becomes nice, and creamy, 03:10 and smooth. 03:12 And by using boiling water or hot water, 03:15 that speeds up the process. 03:16 When usually something goes colder 03:18 that kind of moisture transfer happen slower. 03:20 The hotter the water it is, the faster it happens. 03:23 So yeah, pour those in there. 03:24 Be careful it's boiling, 03:25 so don't want to get burn on here, 03:27 so we'll just move it out the way. 03:28 So we'll come back to that 03:30 in probably about 10 or so minutes 03:31 and that will be little bit more softer 03:33 and help us make a creamier almond milk. 03:35 Do you guys like almond milk? 03:37 Yes, we drink a lot of almond milk at home. 03:39 Oh, really. 03:40 You make it yourself or buy it from the supermarket? 03:42 I wanted to make it myself. 03:44 I really wanted to make almond milk myself 03:46 but we usually buy it from a supermarket. 03:49 Exactly, it's much more convenient 03:51 buying from supermarket, 03:52 but when you see how easy this is, 03:53 you wanna make it yourself all the time. 03:55 And it works out, probably about half the price as well 03:57 making yourself so it's cheaper and better for you. 04:00 Okay, so that's underway. 04:02 So we're now gonna make a granola. 04:04 So granola when we use it 04:05 is a really great healthy breakfast to start with. 04:08 So we're gonna start with all these yummy ingredients here. 04:11 So we're gonna start with some oats. 04:13 Now, we gonna use two types of oats today, 04:15 so if you guys can see here on the camera, 04:17 but basically we have whole oats here 04:20 and we have cut oats. 04:22 So this old fashioned whole ones 04:25 and these are called quick one minute oats. 04:28 And the difference between these oats, 04:30 they're exactly the same thing but one is just cut finer 04:33 and in that granola we're gonna use the two different types 04:36 so just gives us more of a interesting texture. 04:37 You've got the big bits, little bit of crunch 04:39 and a little bit just kind of just blend out 04:41 the granola very nicely. 04:43 So, if you can measure out, Amari, two cup, 04:47 one cup of each. 04:48 So use this cup measure, 04:50 and measure one cup and put on this tray here. 04:52 I'm gonna mix everything into this tray here, 04:55 we're gonna be roasting them. 04:56 Awesome keep pouring, do a nice cup measure. 04:59 So when you're measuring, you wanna make sure 05:00 if you can to make sure 05:01 it's effectively the level of the top there. 05:04 It's looking good, a little bit more. 05:07 Getting most of it in there is the main thing. 05:09 And don't be afraid to make a mess when you're cooking it. 05:11 It's really fun when you're in the kitchen, 05:12 food going everywhere that's a part of cooking, 05:14 so put that in the pan there. 05:16 Oh, just dump it in there 05:18 and then do one cup of the big oats as well. 05:21 So we gonna start measuring stuff in, 05:23 so we've got some buckwheat that has a amazing crunch 05:25 so try if you can measure half a cup of a buckwheat. 05:29 And it's great, got the oats there 05:33 and we got to put in... 05:35 Cool, wonderful, get this out of the way, 05:40 and we're gonna put in some sesame seeds, 05:43 so if you can measure in 05:44 the quarter of a cup of sesame seeds. 05:46 I'll get some measure so you can measure them accurately. 05:50 So why do we use two different oats? 05:52 It does make the texture more interesting and variant. 05:55 So if you are having one of the oats, 05:56 that's absolutely fine 05:57 but it just keeps it interesting. 05:59 You can measure in quarter cup of sesame seeds, 06:01 and if you can put your half cup. 06:04 Just make sure, you can use a full cup 06:06 and just measure, fill it up half way. 06:09 So we're gonna measure these in, wonderful. 06:11 What else we got? Some coconut. 06:14 So shredded coconut, we need coconut, 06:16 you wanna buy the stuff that's kind of as you can say, 06:19 it's kind of a long and kind of shredded. 06:22 You can't get coconut that's kind of really fine 06:24 so it's much nicer if you can get the longer stuff, 06:27 that kind of works better in the tray. 06:30 And then just a nice mouth texture, 06:32 but again if you only got the fine stuff that will fine. 06:35 So we're gonna put in quarter of a cup of that as well, 06:37 I'm gonna just sprinkle it in. 06:39 So do I just pour this in? 06:40 Pour it in. Yep, just pour it in. 06:42 And pour that one as well. 06:44 And the main feature ingredient, 06:45 this one is macadamias, 06:47 so we got some macadamia pieces here. 06:49 And this are slightly more expensive, 06:50 so you can start to chose cashew nuts if you want, 06:53 so you just gonna, you can pour those in there. 06:54 You put the macadamia pieces, 06:56 and macadamias are really nice creamy nuts. 06:58 I'll just put it straight in there, 06:59 we'll just use a whole packet, 07:00 since it's probably round about half a cup or more. 07:03 The whole packet? Yeah, put all in. 07:05 Put in some sliced almonds, 07:07 so if you can put packet of sliced almonds in, 07:09 it's about half a cup each. 07:11 Sesame seeds, these ingredients flying everywhere that's fried. 07:15 And we got some... 07:18 Now the fruit we gonna put in later. 07:19 So we've got some nuts, 07:21 you can measure out half a cup of that. 07:24 You got a quarter cup, you gonna need two of those. 07:26 So two quarter cups equals one half cup so two. 07:28 Should I scoop it up? Yep, scoop up two of those. 07:31 Okay. Put it in? Yep. 07:35 That's great, and you can be very fixed. 07:37 Whatever your favorite fruits or nuts 07:39 you had or seeds is great. 07:43 You're getting it through there. 07:45 Our oats. 07:46 Okay, you gonna push. I'll help you like that. 07:48 So basically you wanna, see if you can stab and do that. 07:51 Oh, wow! 07:53 Those few sticks, you can put those ones in as well. 07:55 Okay. The whole thing? 07:56 Yeah, pop the whole thing. Oh, wow. 07:57 And we're using slivered sliced almonds 08:00 because they are a much nicer, 08:04 bit more interesting in texture, 08:05 so you probably have about 20 of these makes up 08:07 one whole almond. 08:08 See, you better off having like 08:10 20 little slivers than one big almond. 08:12 This makes it more exciting. 08:13 Oh, wow. 08:15 So let me check my recipe, wanna get this right. 08:17 So we're gonna put in four tablespoons of oil 08:21 which is actually quarter of a cup. 08:22 So if you can measure in quarter of a cup of oil Shai. 08:27 And I'll get you to measure in some, 08:29 we gonna put some sweetening in as well. 08:31 We want some honey, so same again, 08:34 we want to measure in some honey. 08:36 So just pour over the granola if you can measure in. 08:43 Lovely. 08:45 So why do we use olive oil? You can measure it. 08:48 Use any oil you want really. 08:50 So, Amari, you can just squeeze it in, 08:52 so you got quarter of a cup. 08:53 I mean, you can use any oil you want 08:55 but the oil just helps it to not to burn 08:57 and gives it kind of flavor as well. 09:00 Keep squeezing, squeeze hard, squeeze hard. 09:02 Getting there, keep going, keep going, keep going. 09:05 Getting there, nearly there. 09:07 Keep going. 09:09 Nearly there, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. 09:11 Making little twirls. 09:12 It does make twirls, doesn't it? 09:15 Great, and you can pour it over there as well. 09:18 So that's all the ingredients. 09:20 So we got fruit, we gonna add the fruit 09:21 after we cook it or else the fruit kind of burns. 09:23 Lovely. 09:25 And we gonna put some honey now. 09:28 Cool. 09:29 You can scrap it out with your finger. 09:31 Scrap it out. 09:33 If you can mix up with your hands 09:35 and give it a bit of a stir, 09:36 put your hands in and got to mix up. 09:37 My hands? 09:39 Yep, get your hands dirty, they are lovely. Really? 09:41 Yep, and nuts all around go, go, you get honey all over it. 09:45 Make sure it's mixed really well. 09:48 Lovely, look at that, squeeze it together. 09:50 It hasn't been mixed properly. 09:53 This is so messy. 09:55 It is, yep, keep going. 09:58 Try to keep most of it in the tray. 10:00 It's quite exciting. 10:02 So this is how easy it is to make your own granola, 10:04 and this how the make it all in the cereal factories, 10:06 except they add tons and tons and tons of sugar 10:09 and stuff as well and preservative. 10:10 So you're missing some here, mix them well. 10:12 Get the corners in, 10:13 mix it through so it's all evenly coated. 10:15 There's some more here, excellent. 10:17 Don't just massage it, keep mixing it as well. 10:19 Push it all around. 10:21 And lay it out so it kind of stir it around, 10:23 so kind of it's evenly on the tray. 10:25 So kind of distribute it so it's nice and even. 10:28 So can you make granola bars like this too? 10:31 Yes, but basically we just probably add more honey 10:32 and press them together more 10:34 so, that's pretty much how you make them. 10:36 Oh, my hands. 10:37 So spread it out so it's even, 10:38 so spread it out so it's on all the areas of the tray 10:40 so it's gonna get cooked evenly. 10:42 That's cool. 10:44 So we mixed in there, we're spreading it out. 10:46 There you go, how easy is that? 10:48 That is very easy. 10:49 So you can make your own cereal at home. 10:51 Yep, that's right. 10:52 And it will probably work out. 10:54 It hasn't cost this one, anything work at half the cost 10:56 if you make them at home 10:57 and it's gonna be much, much, healthier. 11:00 You guys wash your hands, I'm gonna put it in the oven. 11:02 It's great. Okay. So there we go. 11:04 Pop in the oven. 11:06 It will probably take round for about 15 minute. 11:09 Looks like that's pretty warm. 11:11 And that will come out really nice and toasty. 11:14 So we've made excellent start. 11:16 So now we're gonna move on to the almond milk. 11:19 Ready to make almond milk, guys? 11:20 Yes. 11:22 So we're gonna use our trusted friend, 11:23 the blender here and this will really help 11:27 so you can get food processors 11:28 which are more for mixing kind of solid things, 11:30 but a blender or liquidizer like this 11:32 with a blade like this is really good for making milks 11:35 and anything that's liquid. 11:37 Okay. Okay. 11:38 So get those, if you wanna stray... 11:40 Grab the almonds there, Shai. 11:43 And we'll just sever through a sieve. 11:46 Kind of just take, go over here, 11:48 you can hold that, go over to the sink 11:49 and we'll just drain the water out. 11:51 Now it's still pretty hot so be careful. 11:53 Don't kind of, it won't be boiling now, 11:55 but it'll be still hot so pour it through here. 11:58 Lovely. 12:00 Get into them there and come and put it in the blender. 12:03 Okay. No, over here. 12:06 Put it in the blender. 12:09 That's cool. 12:10 Yep, just empty it in, tip it in. 12:12 You're going well there. 12:14 So in the kitchen it's really important 12:16 to use these little skills 12:17 and after while your brain kind of get to know 12:19 how to do these things, so it's brilliant. 12:21 So next ingredient we're gonna add, 12:23 just a touch of salt, so just a little sprinkle 12:26 and a little bit of salt 12:27 just helps it to taste like milk really. 12:30 And we're gonna add some water, 12:32 so if you can get one liter of water. 12:36 So it should be our cups, 12:37 so that should be up to this level here. 12:39 I'm pretty sure it's four cups. 12:43 And then we will blend that. 12:44 We gonna add some, a bit of sweetness, 12:45 so we're gonna add some honey. 12:47 Where's the honey? 12:49 Can you squeeze a bit of honey in there? 12:50 There you go. 12:51 You're the honey expert now. 12:53 There's not much in there, hope it's gonna come through. 12:55 So want about a tablespoon of honey, 12:58 and again you're gonna adjust this recipe to your preference. 13:00 Once you made it a few times, 13:01 you can make it slightly sweeter 13:03 or slightly less sweet. 13:06 Yep, there's probably little bit more, 13:07 keep squeezing. 13:08 Yeah, there we go. 13:10 Awesome, pour water in. 13:12 So can you do this with like cashews and rice? 13:16 Yes, it's very exact that any milk you buy 13:18 at the supermarket, you can make this way. 13:20 Put cashews in, you can put even coconut. 13:23 You can actually make your milk just putting this coconut here 13:26 in the blender with water 13:27 and you got your own coconut milk. 13:29 Oh, wow. 13:30 So we're gonna blend it. 13:31 It's gonna make a bit of a noise. 13:33 You ready? Yes. You gonna push the button here. 13:34 Amari, push high. 13:36 Ready, set, go, oh-oh. 13:38 That will blend away. 13:40 It might take about a minute to get to go, 13:43 but then you get creamy almond milk 13:45 and 'cause we soaked, 13:46 it's gonna make it easier to blend. 13:50 Looking good. 13:51 And that's as simple as it is. 13:53 Look at that. Just keep on going. 13:56 I think that might nearly be done. 13:57 Push the stop button there. 14:00 Yep, push the stop. 14:01 Just lift it off and see what it looks like. 14:04 How easy is that? Exactly. 14:06 Look at that, nice and creamy. Oh, wow. 14:08 So what we'll do, we'll just wanna serve it 14:10 'cause you got all those almonds shell on it. 14:12 You can buy almonds with the blanch 14:14 but don't have the shell. 14:15 But we're gonna just serve it through here 14:16 to get rid of the shell. 14:18 So if you want to pour that in there. 14:19 Okay. 14:20 And we'll just sever through a sieve 14:22 just to get those little almond flakes out. 14:23 You can leave it if you want to, but it's much nicer 14:28 if you kind of have little bit of clean milk. 14:30 Keep pouring. Yep, that's great. 14:34 Keep pouring. Yep, that's great. 14:36 So here, there you go, and any nut you want, so yep. 14:41 We'll get a spoon and we'll just... 14:43 What you can do, you can just help it 14:45 kind of get through the spoon 'cause you can see the almonds. 14:48 The almond meal is, kind of, 14:50 blocking off the holes there of a sieve. 14:54 You go. 14:55 Now, you can actually use that almonds... 14:57 See here, this is almond meal 14:59 and all of that would actually really good for baking 15:01 and so you can actually reserve that 15:02 and use for something later. 15:04 Just put there. 15:05 And you can... 15:07 Want to pour it again, pour some milk in. 15:13 Stir it around, and eventually come out like that. 15:15 Look at that, it's very nice and creamy. 15:17 Oh, wow! 15:18 Put more water or less nuts 15:20 if you want a creamier or less creamier one, 15:22 and that is almond milk. 15:24 So I think you guys need to try this, 15:25 so dip a spoon in and have a try. 15:28 Let me know what you think. 15:30 This one for you, Amari. 15:33 Have to try. 15:37 What do you think? 15:39 That's really good. 15:40 It is a, and you can use it on your breakfast cereal 15:43 is what we gonna do today. 15:44 There is your very own almond milk, 15:46 so just got a nice pitcher to put it in, 15:48 and the only, only, slight drawback is that 15:50 because it's not processed it may suppress. 15:54 Every time you use it... 15:55 Oops, every time you use it, you may need to give it a stir 15:58 because it's gonna settle, but that is really awesome. 16:01 What do you think, guys? That is very awesome. 16:03 Now I'm gonna start making my own milk at home. 16:06 Awesome. |
