00:02 we're cooking up a storm in the kitchen. 00:05 We have Sam from Mississippi and Chloe from Tennessee. 00:09 What is on the menu, guys? 00:11 Well, we have a Turkish mezze platter 00:13 with fresh falafel, 00:15 hummus, and garlic bread. 00:17 That sounds delicious. 00:19 And for dessert we have pistachio baklava balls. 00:25 Let's get cooking. 00:27 Okay, let's get into the final part of the show. 00:31 So here you are with these. 00:32 They're looking nice, aren't they? 00:34 Yeah. Look at that, sizzling away. 00:36 So we just take some out and what we got here, 00:37 we got a nice big round white platter 00:40 so hope you've got one of these at home, 00:42 if not they are relatively inexpensive in homeware stores. 00:45 We're just gonna start putting clusters of food on here. 00:48 So I'll just show you how to get started. 00:50 So just give a little one of these. 00:52 I think you're gonna start putting them here 00:53 in the corner like that. 00:54 Okay. 00:56 Try not to damage them too much. 00:57 They are very precious. 00:58 So get those there. 01:00 And we'll start on the other ingredients. 01:01 So firstly, we're gonna put lots of different colors on. 01:04 And when you're putting colors on this type of the thing, 01:05 we wanna make sure 01:07 we're putting things in clusters. 01:08 We're not gonna scatter everything everywhere. 01:10 We've got like a cluster of green, 01:12 a cluster of different colors around. 01:15 So we're just gonna cut these into a nice little shape here. 01:17 So perhaps we'll just do something interesting. 01:19 So if you're just gonna cut them into like 01:21 little kind of things like that. 01:24 You can cut about three of those, 01:25 and we'll put those in little cluster there. 01:28 And when you're putting them here, 01:29 Sam, just put them on top of each other. 01:31 Okay. How's it going there? 01:33 Get them out, there you're chasing around the pan. 01:36 They're going everywhere. 01:38 Don't bother about the in bits, just do the outer bits. 01:40 That's cool. 01:41 So we got a lot of, bit of green here. 01:44 We're gonna also use some cherry tomatoes 01:46 just to give some extra color. 01:49 So just put a handful of yellow ones, 01:52 and a handful of red ones. 01:53 So we're just building this beautiful array of colors. 01:57 What do you think? 01:59 Look at that, nice cutting there. 02:01 So when cutting it, you know, you wanna make sure 02:03 you're sliding through with the knife, 02:04 what you're doing which is great. 02:06 And we're looking for different cuts, 02:07 like normally we might put it straight, 02:08 I think we could do it on an angle, 02:10 we could do it on another kind of shape. 02:11 So it's always different ways of cutting things 02:13 and that makes our meals very interesting. 02:15 Look after your thumb there with the sharp knife. 02:18 It's great. 02:19 And again we just, to do the job 02:22 we just gonna just, you know, put the rest, 02:24 just put it in the little kind of pile there. 02:25 We're looking for height 02:27 and trying to keep them in one place. 02:28 Wow, these things are so easy to make. 02:31 Oh, exactly. You're doing so well there. 02:33 So just get rid of all this... 02:35 We got little bit of shred in the pan here. 02:36 We'll just get rid of that in the rubbish bin here. 02:40 We'll just give it a quick clean here 02:41 with a paper towel. 02:44 And if you're gonna put some oil in it 02:45 and do another batch, that will be great. 02:47 Sounds good. 02:48 So now you're an experienced chef. 02:51 Well, thank you. First day in the kitchen. 02:53 So if you want to put some oil in 02:54 and oops, I'll just get some of the stuff out here. 02:58 Get it all out 02:59 'cause you don't want little burnt bits coming back again. 03:01 So it's very hot. 03:02 And so if you want to put some oil in 03:03 and make up some more falafel. 03:05 Okay.

See, we've got water in this. 03:16 So when you go to the sink just put your hand over it. 03:20 Try not to cut yourself. 03:23 And just put your fingers over like that 03:24 so the water goes out 03:26 and the artichoke kind of stay in there. 03:27 Okay. 03:28 That's great. 03:30 I've also got some dried figs. 03:32 This is just a nice thing 03:33 that comes from the Middle East. 03:34 Just having some fruits on the plate 03:36 is something different is really nice. 03:37 So I'm just gonna use about that many dried figs. 03:40 Now I'm just gonna cut them in half 03:42 just to make them interesting. 03:43 As you can see it's just beautiful, 03:44 beautiful little seeds in there 03:46 so they just look really, really nice. 03:47 That look so cool. 03:49 It does. 03:50 So if you want to dump some of those 03:51 just perhaps there in the next location. 03:54 This is the fun part of doing a platter, 03:55 just lots of interesting things. 03:57 You know, some of these things 03:58 you may not have in your supermarket 04:00 or don't like or some of them may be expensive, 04:02 you can just substitute with other things. 04:03 So it's a very, very flexible way of cooking. 04:07 And what are those called? 04:09 Those are artichoke hearts and these are figs. 04:13 Here we go.
