Cookery series with Big Cook Ben and foot-high Little Cook Small. Ben is trying to arrange some flowers for the local summer fare but is not having much luck, especially when Small steals his string to start skipping. A flower fairy visits their cafe and they make her some Flutterby cakes. In return she leaves a fairy wand and amazingly Ben's flowers are rearranged into a perfect display.

00:00Welcome to our cafe.
00:04Big cook, little cook, want you to come and play.
00:11Meeting all the friends we cook for, sharing stories, trips and fun.
00:18Big cook, little cook, we'll cook for everyone.
00:22Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I...
00:29Oh, hello. Welcome to our cafe, the best cafe in the world.
00:36Small? Small? Small? Oh, there you are, small.
00:42Hello, Ben. Hello. Hello, everyone.
00:45Ooh, there's a flower show on today at the Summer Fair.
00:47And if I can arrange this bunch of flowers really beautifully, I could win a special prize.
00:53Wahey!
00:54Now, where to start?
00:56If I move that there and push that... Oh, that one there.
01:02Oh, come on, Ben. Try again.
01:05It can't be that difficult to arrange a bunch of flowers, can it?
01:09You're right, small. I'll have another go.
01:11OK, there we go.
01:13There we go.
01:15There we go. Clean and tidy.
01:17Brilliant.
01:19Hey, what's this?
01:22A skipping rope?
01:24Brilliant.
01:26Salt, mustard, vinegar, pepper.
01:30Salt, mustard, vinegar, pepper.
01:33Right, now all I need to do is get that piece of string to tie it up.
01:36Now, where did I put that string?
01:39Have you seen my piece of string?
01:42Small, have you seen my string?
01:44No!
01:44Hang on, what are you doing, small?
01:49Skipping!
01:50With my piece of string.
01:52I need that to tie up my flowers.
01:54Oops, sorry, Ben.
01:56Thank you, small.
01:59Just tie that round there.
02:01And what do we think?
02:04Um, it doesn't look that bad, Ben.
02:08But it certainly doesn't look good enough to win a special prize at the summer fair.
02:12No.
02:13Oh, come on, small.
02:15We've got a customer.
02:16I'm on my way.
02:17Who is it today, small?
02:34Well, I can't see anyone.
02:36But listen, can you hear that tinkling?
02:42I can, yeah.
02:44It's a flower fairy.
02:46A flower fairy has come to visit our cafe.
02:49Flower fairies love flowers.
02:52Hey, maybe she's come to see yours, Ben.
02:55Hey, maybe she'll bring me luck in the competition.
02:57So we need to make a feast fit for a flower fairy.
03:01Hmm.
03:01But what would a flower fairy like to eat?
03:03Hmm, this is a tricky one.
03:05I think it's time to look in my book.
03:08Yay!
03:17We need a story to help us cook.
03:20Let's take a look in Little Cook's book.
03:23Little Cook's Adventures in the Big World.
03:26Let me see.
03:28One day I was right at the end of the garden
03:31when I heard someone crying.
03:34Then I saw a little flower fairy sat on a pebble,
03:38sniffling away.
03:39She had huge fairy tears rolling down her cheeks.
03:43She was even smaller than me.
03:45So I went up to her and asked her what the matter was
03:48and if I could help.
03:50Oh, hello, small, she sniffed.
03:53A terrible thing has happened.
03:54I've lost my wings.
03:57And with that, she burst into tears again.
04:00But how did you lose them?
04:02I asked.
04:04The flower fairy told me she'd taken them off to wash them
04:07and then hung them on the line to dry.
04:09When she went back to fetch her wings off the line,
04:12they'd gone.
04:14She'd spent all morning looking for them,
04:16but she couldn't find them anywhere.
04:19How could she be a flower fairy without wings?
04:22Don't worry, I told her.
04:25I'm sure we can find something else for you to use as wings.
04:29We tried two leaves, but they were too heavy.
04:33We tried two feathers, but they were the wrong shape.
04:37And then I spotted just the thing, two flower petals.
04:42The flower fairy tried them on, fluttered them and lifted off the ground.
04:48She was so excited, she flitted around the bush making her flower fairy tinkly noise.
04:54She flew higher and higher, right over the bush.
04:59And then I heard her whoop with joy.
05:02I've found them! I've found them!
05:06She cried, and she fluttered down carrying two very dainty fairy wings.
05:11They must have blown off the washing line, she said.
05:15Thank you so much, Small, for helping me.
05:19It was nice to help a flower fairy.
05:21And at least she knows she can use flower petals as spare wings on washing day.
05:26Little Cook to the rescue once again!
05:32That was a great adventure!
05:34And a lovely story!
05:36So what can we make that's delicate and dainty enough for a little flower fairy?
05:42Whee!
05:43This really is a difficult one, Ben.
05:52What to cook for a flower fairy?
05:58Oh!
05:59We can...
05:59Oh!
06:00I know!
06:04Big Cook's Big Cookery Book!
06:07Of course!
06:07The Big Cookery Book!
06:09There's recipes for everything in there!
06:11And where do we look for things to cook?
06:13In the book!
06:13In the book!
06:14In Big Cook's Book!
06:16Woo-hoo!
06:18Well, well, look at this!
06:20The perfect thing!
06:22Flutterby cakes!
06:23Oh, yes!
06:25Flutterby butterfly cakes!
06:27Perfect!
06:28Can you read out the ingredients, Little Cook?
06:30And I'll see if we've got them.
06:32OK, Ben.
06:33Let's see.
06:34We're going to need caster sugar.
06:36Caster sugar.
06:37OK.
06:38Yep.
06:39Got that.
06:39Then we're going to need self-raising flour.
06:42Self-raising flour.
06:43There we go.
06:43Perfect.
06:44Got it.
06:45OK, butter.
06:46Butter from the fridge.
06:47Here we are.
06:48Butter.
06:48And two eggs.
06:50Two eggs.
06:50One, two.
06:52There.
06:52And for decorations, we're going to need jam.
06:55Oh, lovely jam.
06:56There we are, jam.
06:58And jelly sweets.
06:59Oh, my favourite.
07:01Jelly sweets.
07:02Here we are.
07:04Oh, well, that's it.
07:06Looks like we've got everything small.
07:08That.
07:09Then, where does flour come from?
07:12Flour?
07:13Erm, self-raising flour.
07:17Because it's not as if you can, like, pick it off a tree, is it?
07:21Well, no, actually, small, you can't pick it off a tree.
07:24And it's not as if you can dig it up from the ground, either.
07:28No, no, you can't.
07:30So where does flour come from?
07:33Hmm.
07:34Oh, I tell you what, small, why don't you zoom off and find out?
07:38And I'll get everything ready.
07:39That's a great idea, Ben.
07:42I'll be back in a jiffy.
07:47Hey, why don't you come along, too?
07:51Woo-hoo!
07:55Go, small, go, small, whizz away!
07:57I wonder what he'll see today.
08:19Oh, what a beautiful day!
08:22This is a water mill.
08:25This is where flour is made.
08:31This is the stream that runs nearby.
08:35The wheel goes round and round.
08:39It's the water that makes the wheel turn.
08:41Oh, here's some more wheels going round and round.
08:59Flour is made from wheat.
09:02These are the grains that are harvested from the farmer's fields.
09:05This is the wheat that grows in the fields.
09:15Wow, look at that big machine.
09:18It's harvesting the wheat.
09:21All the grains of wheat are being collected behind the tractor.
09:27The harvested wheat arrives at the mill to be turned into flour.
09:31Each grain is crushed between two big stones.
09:34The stones crush the grains so much that the grains turn into flour.
09:47Flour is a very important ingredient for cooking.
09:50It's used to make bread, biscuits, cakes, pastry.
09:54It's used to make all sorts of different foods.
09:59Hey, that was really interesting.
10:02Better dash.
10:04Fly like a flower fairy.
10:20Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.
10:23Yay!
10:24Woo-hoo!
10:26Brilliant!
10:27I'm back!
10:29Ben, I'm back!
10:32What are you doing, Ben?
10:34You're supposed to be getting the ingredients ready.
10:37I've done that, Small.
10:38I've heated the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, gas mark four.
10:42I was just waiting for you to get back.
10:44Well, then why were you waving your arms about, then?
10:47I was just practising flying like a flower fairy.
10:51Yeah.
10:52How was your trip?
10:53Oh, it was brilliant.
10:55I saw all the wheat growing in the fields, and then it was cut up by this huge, huge machine.
11:00And then it was taken to the mill, where it was turned into flour.
11:05That sounds fantastic.
11:07I'll tell you what, Small, I think it's time to get cooking.
11:10Hooray!
11:10Woo-hoo!
11:11We're all ready, so take a look, and we will show you how to cook.
11:19Jelly boats and pirates go, princess pea pies.
11:23Carrot cakes and fruity smiles, and envelopes surprise.
11:27We love our cafe, and we love to cook.
11:30We have a fantastic recipe book.
11:34He is big cook, and he is small.
11:40Friends in our cafe, we cook for them all.
11:44When your tummy gets all rumbly, you're ready for a treat.
11:50You can make something delicious to eat.
11:53Have you cleaned the surfaces?
12:01Yes.
12:02Have you washed your hands?
12:03Yes.
12:04All clean and ready to cook.
12:07Do you remember the ingredients to Flutterby cakes?
12:10You do?
12:11There was caster sugar.
12:13100 grams.
12:14Self-raising flour.
12:16100 grams.
12:17Butter.
12:17100 grams.
12:18Eggs.
12:19Two eggs.
12:20And for decorations, jam.
12:22Any flavour you like.
12:23And if you really like decorations, lots of jelly sweets.
12:29Whoopee.
12:29Let's get started.
12:31OK, then.
12:32Put the butter and the caster sugar into a bowl and cream them together, like this.
12:44I can do that for you, big cook Ben.
12:46Thank you very much, Small.
12:47But I've got the perfect job for you.
12:50You sort out the cake cases.
12:51Them are your size.
12:53Right you are, Ben.
12:54I'll go and find some.
13:01There.
13:02When it's nice and creamy like this, add your eggs.
13:08One.
13:14Two.
13:15And stir them in.
13:16Hey, look at my flour.
13:22Look at this.
13:23I could be a really good flour fairy.
13:26Flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit, flit.
13:30And now for the flour.
13:32Now sieve it in to get rid of all the lumps and bumps.
13:36There we go.
13:39Oh, that's nice.
13:41Oh, that's nice.
13:44And stir it round.
13:50I hope Small's found those cake cases.
13:52I have, and they're all in place.
13:55Brilliant.
13:57Next, it's time to spoon in the mixture.
13:59A dollop in each.
14:01Mmm, I can't wait to taste one of those.
14:12Not yet, Small.
14:14They need to go in the oven before we can eat them.
14:16Oh.
14:17In the oven they go for 15 minutes.
14:20At 180 degrees Celsius, gas mark four.
14:23Now make sure you get your grown-up helper to do this bit for you,
14:26because the oven is hot, hot, hot.
14:29In they go.
14:31I'll set the timer.
14:36Keep an eye on those cakes, Ben.
14:38We don't want them to burn.
14:40What can I do now?
14:42Oh, I can sort out the decorations.
14:47Purple one there.
14:48Yellow one there.
14:50Red one there.
14:52I love the colour red.
14:53What's your favourite colour?
14:55The cakes.
15:03Oh, they're ready.
15:06Oh.
15:07Now remember to get your grown-up helper to take them out for you,
15:09because the oven is hot, hot, hot.
15:11Now you need to leave the cakes to cool for a little while first,
15:16and then we can decorate them.
15:19A purple one there, a yellow one there, and a red one there.
15:23Now this is the good bit.
15:25I've carefully sliced the tops off all the cooled cakes.
15:29That's another job for grown-up helpers to do.
15:31Now I'm going to spread on some of the jam.
15:34Oh, you can use any flavour you like.
15:39I'm using strawberry.
15:41Mmm, that looks yummy.
15:43Now I'm going to slice the top in half.
15:47This is going to be the butterfly's wings.
15:52The jam should help them stick in place.
15:56There we are.
15:58How's that decoration coming on, Small?
16:00Coming right up.
16:04Ooh, good shot, Small.
16:07Wow, that looks just like a butterfly.
16:11Flutterby, butterfly.
16:14There, all done.
16:18They look brilliant, even if I do say so myself.
16:22A dish fit for a flower fairy.
16:26There we go.
16:27Flutterby butterfly cakes coming through.
16:34So what do we do now?
16:35Can we play?
16:36Not yet.
16:37Time to clean and put away.
16:39Hooray!
16:40Hooray!
16:47Wash, wipe, scrub and clean.
16:49Make the kitchen sparkle and gleam.
16:52My name's Ben.
16:56And my name's Small.
16:58We've got the cleanest kitchen of all.
17:02Tidy all the bits and bobs.
17:04The things that help us do our jobs.
17:06Ingredients we'll put away.
17:08Ready for use another day.
17:10Pots and pans will start to smell.
17:11If we don't wash them really well.
17:13And now it's clear.
17:14Let's all smile.
17:15We'll be finished in a little while.
17:17We're all around, up and down.
17:20We've got the cleanest cafe in town.
17:29Ah, here comes the plate.
17:32And it looks like our flower fairy enjoyed her Flutterby cakes.
17:36And she's left us a little wand and a note.
17:40What does it say?
17:41What does it say?
17:42It says, Dear Big Cook Ben and Little Cook Small.
17:46Thank you for my Flutterby cakes.
17:48They were perfect.
17:50I've given you a little fairy wand.
17:52It may help Big Cook's special bunch of flowers.
17:57What do I do with it?
17:59Well, why don't you try waving it over the flowers, Ben?
18:02Oh, yes.
18:03I'll give it a try.
18:05There we are.
18:08Alakazam, alakazee.
18:09One, two, three.
18:10Oh, look.
18:16Oh, thank you, flower fairy.
18:19Now they're sure to win a special prize at the summer fair.
18:22Come on, small.
18:23Let's go.
18:24See you soon.
18:25See you soon.
