00:01 If you just joined us on Cook:30 for Kids,
00:03 we're cooking up a storm in the kitchen. 00:05 We have Sophia from California, 00:07 and Lachlan and Lily from Illinois. 00:10 What's on the menu today, guys? 00:13 Today we're making butternut mac cheese platter 00:16 with a creamy coleslaw, sounds amazing. 00:19 Yes, it does. 00:20 And for dessert, we're going to have 00:22 some macadamia cherry ice cream. 00:25 Ice cream! 00:29 Okay, we got three very passionate chefs 00:31 in the kitchen here. Is it going well? 00:33 Oh, we didn't turn it on, that would have helped. 00:36 We get that cooking, fortunately, 00:37 it doesn't take very long to cook pasta so 00:38 and it's already boiled. 00:40 So the butternut squash is cooking, 00:41 it's probably a few more minutes, 00:43 it doesn't look kind like it's some soft yet. 00:45 We got this dressing done which is great. 00:47 Did you know that I can lick my elbow? 00:49 Can you? Yup. 00:51 Okay. Ready? 00:56 See this? Yup. 01:00 Can you lick your elbow? 01:01 Is it actually possible to lick your elbow? 01:03 I think some people can but it's very hard. 01:05 I can't get even close. Can you, Lachlan? 01:06 I'll try. 01:08 Sophia, can you lick your elbow? 01:10 No... No. 01:13 Okay, so why to lick your elbow, 01:15 let's use macaroni elbow. 01:16 Nice one, Lily. 01:17 Chef Jeremy... Yes. 01:19 Is it okay to put the leaves of the celery in? 01:20 Yup, that's okay, the leaves of the celery 01:21 are actually really flavor some as well, 01:23 as long as they're nice and everything, 01:24 that's s brilliant. Okay. 01:26 So we better start mixing this in, 01:27 so, Sophia, if you can just pour this over... 01:28 Okay. 01:30 And just kind of start mixing 01:31 and you can use your hands to mix this. 01:32 Cool. So Chef... 01:34 There's nothing like using your hands to do things. 01:35 Whole thing? The whole thing, yup. 01:36 So, Chef Jeremy, what's your favorite vegetable? 01:38 My favorite vegetable would probably be... 01:42 I quite like cherry tomatoes. 01:43 They're just lovely and so I can actually eat 01:45 a pound of them for lunch 01:46 just kind of eating cherry tomatoes, 01:48 they're really, really yummy. 01:49 So we're actually going to prepare this as a platter. 01:51 So a platter, rather than having 01:53 individual bowls of stuff, 01:54 we're just gonna make one platter 01:56 with all these yummy ingredients. 01:57 What did you got there? Chef Jeremy... 01:58 Yeah? This one isn't good. 02:00 No, leave that one out, this one. 02:01 Leave it out side. Oh, okay. 02:03 So mix it through, get your hands dirty, 02:04 looking good, get the celery in there as well 02:06 'cause it's lovely dressing. 02:08 I'm also gonna add some sesame seeds in here as well, 02:10 toasted sesame seeds. It smells delicious. 02:12 Just for a bit of extra flavor so keep mixing around, 02:17 it'll be a really, really beautiful salad. 02:19 It's not cooking unless you get your hands dirty. 02:21 Exactly, exactly. Good policy. 02:24 So that's underway so we could probably, 02:26 what's coming next? 02:27 Oh, olives. So we got some olives. 02:29 So we're gonna use some olives on the platter 02:30 just to make it interesting. 02:32 We might just, if you can just drain those in the sink? 02:34 So just tore them out 02:35 so that hold your fingers on the end 02:36 and does pour it through so you just got olives left 02:38 and no juice. Got some carrots. 02:40 That's looking beautiful, well mix there. 02:42 So what we're going to do, I'm just going to grab this 02:45 and we're just going to pour this 02:47 into the bowl in like this? 02:48 Can I wash my hands? 02:50 You certainly can wash your hands. 02:51 I probably should too. Yup, that's good? 02:54 So basically just gonna have one side of this platter 02:55 which is going to be coleslaw, and the other side mac cheese, 02:58 all these lovely ingredients around the plate. 03:00 So always when you prepare dish in one platter, 03:02 it saves on dishes, they just looks absolutely delicious. 03:06 Better wash my hands too. 03:10 Now we're gonna make a sauce that's kind of the mac cheese. 03:13 So we got blender here. 03:15 So, Lachlan, if you can get some cashew nuts, 03:19 so if you can get a cup of cashew nuts 03:20 into the blender here. 03:22 So we're just gonna add lots of yummy ingredients 03:24 to make this really lovely cheesy sauce. 03:28 A bit of clear up here. 03:30 So we're gonna add a cup of cashew nuts. 03:33 What is the vinegar at for in the olives? 03:38 I'm not sure that what just comes in the olives. 03:39 It just kind of a way they kind of pickle them 03:41 to make them that. Okay. 03:43 Yes, put in there, so one cup of cashew nuts. 03:45 If you can put in... 03:47 Check my recipe here, if you can grab, Sophia, 03:51 if you can grab the almond milk from the fridge, 03:52 it's in the round bottle. Okay. 03:54 And so two cups of almond milk, one cup of cashew nuts. 03:58 And we're gonna add some flake yeast. 03:59 And flake nutritional yeast is a really lovely ingredient 04:02 to use it gets really nice cheesy taste. 04:04 If you can put three tablespoons 04:05 of that in there, Lachlan? 04:07 So what does the yeast do? 04:08 The yeast just adds a really nice kind of, 04:10 it's just a very nice salty kind of cheesy kind of flavor, 04:13 so we're not using cheese, it's a good alternative. 04:14 Yes, that's awesome. So two cups of almond milk. 04:17 My brother drinks almond milk, but I don't drink it. 04:23 There's lots of great milks around you, 04:24 you can get almond milk, hemp milk, macadamia milk 04:27 is really nice, soy milk, rice milk... 04:30 I like soy milk. 04:31 You name it, oat milk, 04:32 there's so many awesome plant based milks around. 04:35 There is oat milk? Yeah, oat milk. 04:37 Yeah, it's one of my favorites, it is great. 04:39 I've never heard of that. Me either. 04:42 So we better add a little bit of honey to sweetened up, 04:44 just a touch, just a teaspoon. 04:47 Is that to make the cheese? 04:49 Yup, this is to make the cheese. 04:50 So just double check my recipes here 04:52 and that's pretty much it, 04:54 so all we need now is the pumpkin. 04:56 Everything smells delicious. 04:58 So can honey substitute sugar in a lot of stuff? 05:01 Yeah, so lot of people use sugar in their cooking 05:03 and especially stuff you buy at the supermarket 05:05 is just loaded with sugar. 05:08 So that's like, not just little bits, 05:10 it's like huge amounts, like you drink a soda, 05:12 there's like seven or eight teaspoons 05:14 of something in the soda, 05:16 it's like huge, huge, huge amounts. 05:17 And all my cooking, we use little bit of sweetener 05:20 and the one stuff I do use rather using 05:21 processed white sugar, 05:23 I use things like honey that we're using today. 05:25 You can make a date puree up, mixing up dates with water, 05:28 agave, maple syrup, some really healthy sweeteners. 05:32 That's good. Really maple syrup? 05:33 Maple syrup is really good sweetener. 05:36 So this is looking like it's getting soft now. 05:37 So if you just give me those, it's a hot handle here. 05:40 So I'm just gonna drain this in the sink. 05:43 I'm just gonna drain it, just put on the side like that. 05:47 Lost one and that's okay. 05:49 And what we're gonna do is pour this butternut 05:52 into the blender like this. 05:55 So we want about... Can I taste one? 05:57 Two cups, that'll be really hot. 06:00 You can though, it's much more nicer now. 06:02 That's right. Into there. 06:03 And, Lachlan, if you can put the blender 06:07 on to this base and give it a whiz around. 06:10 Yup, you can try this if you like. 06:11 This is just cooked butternut. 06:13 Pumpkin or butternut squash. 06:16 Well, it's hot, it's hot. Don't burn your tongue. 06:19 What's it like? It's good. 06:21 There's no flavoring on it, but it's yes, 06:23 much nicer like that. 06:24 So give it a well round, yup, go for it. 06:32 It's looking pretty good, stop the blender. 06:34 Look at that lovely sauce there, look at that. 06:36 Isn't that just delicious? Looks great. 06:38 Steaming. Great. 06:39 Awesome, so we're gonna throw those macaroni cheese. 06:41 So, Sophia, if you can just chop 06:42 some cherry tomatoes in half? 06:44 Landscape? Yup. 06:45 So just grab them and just slice it, 06:47 bring your finger like that and just, 06:49 put them on the board there. 06:51 It will be great and I'm just going 06:52 to drain this in the sink. 06:55 We got the pastas all ready to go through a colander. 06:59 So you want to cook so it's s firm. 07:03 So get all the water out. 07:06 You don't water in 'cause this basically gonna 07:08 make everything go runny. 07:11 And what we do then is just add this beautiful pasta sauce, 07:15 turn the gas off, this butternut sauce here. 07:19 Can you give that bit a stir around, Lachlan? 07:21 Yeah. Looks great. 07:22 There you go. Looks amazing, doesn't it? 07:24 Isn't that great healthy sauce? So it's great. 07:27 So, Lily, if you can go to the freezer 07:29 and get me some frozen bananas, top left and some cherries? 07:32 We're gonna make this ice cream. 07:33 This is a great way to make ice cream 07:35 with the frozen bananas. 07:36 Ice cream! Shall I just get one container? 07:37 Yeah, one container is fine. Okay 07:39 And if you can get the black cherries as well, 07:40 there should be some black cherries. 07:42 This is about three small bananas 07:44 into the food processor. 07:45 Looks delicious. It's gonna be great. 07:48 And we're gonna add some honey 07:49 or you can use any sweetener of your choice. 07:51 Put a tablespoon, that's right, dark cherries. 07:55 Are they frozen? We put them in here. 07:56 And then we're gonna blend them round and round. 07:59 Put about two cups, they're frozen cherries 08:01 and this will become ice cream in no time at all. 08:04 So start the food processor. 08:07 Look at that turn around. 08:10 So after while it gets nice and smooth like that, 08:12 look at that. 08:13 We're just gonna pour in some macadamia nuts 08:14 and just mix it through a little bit, 08:17 we don't need to blend up so it's nice and crunchy. 08:20 And that lovely crunchiness, look at that beautiful 08:22 ice cream texture, isn't that amazing? 08:24 So creamy, I'm gonna dive in. 08:27 So we're gonna pour this macaroni cheese into the bowl 08:31 that we've got here like that, look at that. 08:36 It is a really lovely macaroni cheese. 08:38 We're gonna sprinkle on some of these tomatoes 08:41 you've just chopped, 08:42 just coming to give a bit of decoration. 08:45 I'm gonna pour some olives as well 08:47 and we'll garnish it with some cilantro 08:49 and this is an amazing macaroni cheese bowl 08:51 you guys are going to love. |
