This one or that one? 03:32 Put the whole almonds in 03:34 'cause they're gonna be blended up. 03:35 We're gonna use these almonds here, 03:37 these for later 03:38 'cause they're really nice garnishing almond. 03:40 So put that in the blender. 03:43 And when the almonds blend up with water, 03:45 they make a really nice kind of creamy texture 03:47 which is really lovely. 03:49 And we're gonna put in, if you can get 03:51 a cup of frozen cherries from the... 03:53 The cherry thing, I'll just remove the knife here 03:54 so we don't accidentally cut ourselves. 04:00 And I'll get a cup of water from the tap here. 04:06 That's great. Do you all guys like cherries? 04:07 Yes. They're really nice. 04:09 So frozen cherries are great, you can use, 04:11 you can use normal fresh cherries if you want, 04:13 but if you get frozen cherries, 04:14 you can keep them in the freezer 04:15 and make this dish all year around. 04:18 So put in the water there. 04:21 And what else is on our little ingredient list? 04:24 Chia seeds. Chia seed. 04:25 We're not gonna put them in this, 04:27 we're gonna blend this up first, 04:28 because we don't wanna blend the chia seeds, 04:29 we just wanna blend the cherries 04:31 and make it really nice cherry almond milk 04:33 to go with the chia seeds. 04:35 Okay, put the lid on and then, so, Zander, 04:39 if you wanna push the go button. 04:40 You ready? 04:42 I'll put it on, three, two, one, blend! 04:45 Oh-oh, look at that go. 04:50 Don't let it fall off. 04:55 So the cherries and the almonds 04:56 will take them little bit longer. 05:00 Look at that go. 05:02 I think we're ready, so turn it off. 05:07 Brilliant, okay, so get that off of here. 05:09 Can I put this in the sink? 05:10 Yes, you can put that in the sink. 05:12 Good thing, it's good thing to clean up. 05:13 So as you can see here, we've got this lovely kind of, 05:16 you know, a cherry almond milk. 05:18 So what we're gonna do now is mix in the chia seeds. 05:22 So we're gonna need, how many chia seeds? 05:23 I think it's quarter of a cup. 05:25 So these are half a cup. 05:27 So if you wanna measure in half of that. 05:30 So put the chia seeds in, put them in there. 05:33 Getting the good pour out. 05:36 Keep going, bit more, bit more, 05:38 keep going, keep going, keep going. 05:39 Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. 05:42 Getting nearly there. Measure them out. 05:44 You can go faster if you want, there you go. 05:46 Yup, perfect. 05:48 So I put those in there. 05:50 Do I pour them in the blender? 05:52 Yup, just throw them straight in the blender. 05:53 We could put them in another bowl 05:55 but why would you wanna create extra dishes. 05:56 And we're just gonna stir them around. 05:59 We should put a few more in actually, 06:00 if you need to have too many chia seeds, 06:02 just pour some in. 06:04 Brilliant. 06:06 Yup, that's perfect. 06:08 And we stir them around... 06:12 Like that. 06:15 And then, if you wanna pour that 06:16 in those little glasses there, we're gonna make these. 06:20 Oh, we put something else to it first, 06:21 we're gonna add some more cherries. 06:23 So we're gonna put some more cherries in. 06:25 So if you wanna put, nearly all of those cherries, 06:27 another cup of cherries. 06:29 We won't measure this time, we'll do this approximately. 06:32 So probably throw the ones over there. 06:34 All of them? Yup. 06:35 So when we're eating into the lovely chia seed dessert, 06:39 we will have lovely big chunks of cherries. 06:42 Does that sound yummy? 06:44 Yeah. Cool. 06:45 So if you wanna, yeah, pour that in there. 06:48 I'll put those here for you. 06:51 Perhaps, Zander, if you wanna pour those in. 06:54 See if you can pour them in without making it too messy. 06:56 Now probably the cherries will plop out, 06:57 but that's okay. 06:59 Great, lovely pouring technique there. 07:05 That's okay, keep going. 07:07 When it gets messy, you just call it rustic. 07:11 Cool and the next one. 07:13 Doing a great job there. 07:16 So what will happen in the next half hour, 07:18 thus the chia seeds will swell up 07:21 and they'll end up going really nice and thick 07:22 like a pudding. 07:24 That sounds really yummy. 07:25 It's gonna be very yummy. 07:27 Well done, guys, that's awesome. 07:29 I'm gonna give them little bit of a garnishing 07:30 and so if you wanna put them in the fridge on the top shelf. 07:32 And when you're traveling with them, 07:34 try to keep them really steady 'cause if you move, 07:36 it goes up the sides and makes it more messy. 07:37 So try and put them really gently in the fridge. 07:40 And we'll put that in the sink. 07:42 Well done, very good. 07:45 You're out there. 07:47 Brilliant, so there is the first job done. 07:49 The chia seed pudding is now in the fridge. 07:53 So they generally take around about 07:54 up to half an hour for them to sit 07:57 and they're generally really, really quick. 07:59 So that's a really simple pudding. 08:00 It's healthy, there's no ice cream 08:02 or anything in there, it's just chia seeds and fruit 08:05 and the almond milk that you made yourself. 08:06 So it's a really, really delicious dessert. 08:11 Well done, guys, first job done. 08:15 So what we're gonna do now is we want to put the gas on. 08:18 If you wanna grab some water over here, 08:19 we'll just put the jug on, and we'll just put it on. 08:22 So if you boil the water in the jug, 08:24 it ends up going much quicker, 08:25 'cause we wanna save time when we're cooking. 08:28 So we're gonna cook some pasta, we're doing macaroni. 08:31 So today we're gonna use two types of pasta. 08:34 And we've got some macaroni elbows 08:36 and that's probably what you're used 08:38 to using in macaroni cheese. 08:40 But also it's quite nice to use different styles of pasta 08:43 and we got some really nice pasta shells here as well. 08:45 Cool. 08:46 So you kind of get much nicer texture 08:48 if you use different types. 08:49 And we're also using, what is it, what do you say? 08:51 Whole wheat. Whole wheat. 08:52 Why do you want a whole wheat pasta? 08:54 Because, it's healthier. 08:56 Exactly, so it's got all the nutrients 08:57 and vitamins and fiber, so we will do that. 09:00 Now pasta generally takes around about 09:02 eight minutes to cook as a general rule, 09:04 sometimes it's longer. 09:05 So what we wanna do is measure in, 09:07 if you wanna measure in one cup, 09:10 one and a half cups of each pasta. 09:12 So one and a half cups, so three cups of pasta total, 09:15 and that should give us around about 09:17 four cups of cooked pasta. 09:22 So if you can put it in this, Oops! 09:24 I'll turn the gas on over here. 09:28 So we've got a pot here and we're just gonna 09:30 put this boiling water in here, 09:32 and you need lots of boiling water. 09:33 You may want your mom or dad 09:35 to help you put the boiling water 09:37 in 'cause you don't wanna get scolded. 09:39 So I will just put in for you guys here. 09:41 There we go. Lots of boiling water in there. 09:44 See a lot more boiling water than you've got. 09:47 Is that good? 09:48 That's perfect, so throw that in. 09:50 Lovely. 09:53 And do another, do the same again 09:55 with the shells. 09:57 So end up some pasta, so you wanna cook 09:59 the pasta super loosely, now it's gonna cook properly. 10:02 You can do that one. Brilliant. 10:08 Excellent, well done. That's great. 10:11 So throw that in as well, that's close enough. 10:14 So put that in there as well, and that will cook for about 10:16 eight minutes until it's soft. 10:17 So when you cook pasta, you want to cook 10:20 until something that's called al dente. 10:23 And that means, so it just firm to the bite, 10:24 so when you bite the pasta, 10:26 it's still firm but it's still cooked. 10:28 So it's kind of something you need to get used to 10:29 when you're cooking pasta. 10:31 Already making great progress, guys. 10:35 So what are we doing now? 10:37 So we're gonna make now a cheesy cashew sauce. 10:40 And usually when you make macaroni cheese you're using, 10:42 you know, white pasta, lots of butter, flour, 10:48 I mean, cream, and milk and stuff like that, 10:50 and that can be very unhealthy meal, 10:52 but this is gonna be a really healthy one 10:53 'cause we're gonna make our own cashew cheese sauce. 10:56 You ready? 10:58 So we need the other blender, 10:59 if someone can find the other blender somewhere, 11:00 oh, there it is over there. 11:02 And we're gonna blend up and make our very own sauce. 11:05 Actually, before we do that, we need to put some onion on. 11:07 I've forgotten something. 11:08 So we're going to saute up some onion. 11:10 Do you know what saute means? 11:13 Saute, saute is when you basically cook something 11:17 and you just basically just, if you saute onion, 11:19 you basically cook it so it becomes soft. 11:21 So we're gonna cook in here, so we're gonna turn the gas on. 11:24 And there just get that warmed up, 11:26 get the pan warmed up. 11:27 And I'll start the onion off 11:29 'cause they can be very tricky to cut. 11:30 So we got one nice big red onion here. 11:33 Do you like red onion? 11:34 Yeah. Cool. 11:36 It just gives a little more color 11:37 than the normal kind of white or brown onion, 11:39 so any onion is fine. 11:40 So I'll just get this started, if you guys wanna take, 11:42 see if you can take the skin off that, 11:45 and we're gonna cut it. 11:47 So try and cut off some big chunks 11:48 that can take ages to take the skin off. 11:51 Have a race, who's gonna go first. 11:53 Let's see who's gonna win. 11:55 Oh, it looks like Kaitlyn's at... 11:56 All right, got a big spikelet off, 11:58 certainly aim for a big lot. 12:00 So onion adds a really nice sweetness 12:03 and good base to any dish. 12:04 So lot of dishes do have onions. 12:07 I mean, it's a really good thing to have. 12:09 You really wanna make sure you, you saute it for round about 12:11 five minutes just so it becomes 12:13 from this really, really bitter thing 12:16 to really nice sweet and gentle flavor, 12:18 really would go through any dish. 12:20 You can put that in rubbish as well. 12:22 How's it going, Zander? 12:23 Oh, Zander's got the out, the side of the onion, 12:25 it's got little bit on it, but we're getting there. 12:27 So picking the rubbish, clean up off ourselves. 12:35 Wonderful, look at that. 12:38 Yep, that's pretty close, 12:41 you see it's been ages taking all off. 12:44 So when we chop an onion what you want to do, 12:45 it's already the first one, you wanna when using 12:47 a sharp knife, you wanna make sure 12:49 you got your fingers clear off the knife, okay. 12:51 You don't have your finger there. 12:52 What's gonna happen? We're gonna cut it. 12:53 That's gonna be bad, isn't it? Yeah. 12:55 So then we're basically gonna slice through here. 12:58 And when you use a knife, you wanna slice it, 12:59 so you put it on there 13:01 and you actually push it through like this. 13:02 If you try and push it down, it's really hard, 13:05 so you wanna push through like that. 13:08 So go through like that and hold it there, 13:10 and then we're going to basically 13:11 do the same thing this way 13:13 and end up with lots of little dices. 13:17 Okay, Kaitlyn, see if you can try that. 13:19 Give that a go. 13:23 Go, I mean, slice it through. 13:24 Lovely, yup. 13:26 Slice it through, yup, 13:27 so just hold the back, very good. 13:29 Take it off there. 13:33 Look at that, isn't she doing well? 13:36 Slice it, slide it, yup. 13:38 So start with at the tip of the back, 13:40 so you can kind of slide it forward through the onion. 13:44 Wonderful, and one more. 13:47 Very cool, well done. 13:48 And these ones here, you can just line up like this. 13:51 They don't kind of stay together. 13:53 Can you do the other side, do you? 13:55 Okay, you can do the other side. 13:57 So see if you can go through this way 13:58 and get those cuts through there, 14:00 so if you can give it a cut. 14:01 So hold it there, wonderful. 14:03 So using sharp knife is really, really scary 14:05 and this is really, really good skill to have. 14:07 But as long as you take your time, 14:09 make sure your parents are with you, 14:10 then it's a great skill to have. 14:12 Make sure you slice it, don't slide off the side. 14:14 Keep your finger back, cool, lovely. 14:18 Look at that and just, yup...
