02:23ah, I think I know who today's customer is, does she have whiskers and a tail, hat, sat,
02:31mat, a cat, is today's customer a cat?
02:34That's right Ben, it's Cassie the black cat from the bakery down the road, hmm, I wonder
02:41what a cat would like to eat, this is a tricky one, small, I think it's time to look at my
02:47book, we need a story to help us cook, let's take a look in Little Cook's book, Little Cook's
03:04Adventures in the Big World, let me see, this story is all about a baker's shop with a mouse
03:12problem, there were mice everywhere, in the jam, in the flour, in the cake tin, mice where
03:20they should not have been, so the baker bought a large black cat called Cassie, it was her
03:26job to chase the mice away, but Cassie didn't like running and she didn't like chasing mice,
03:32all she cared about was reading, Cassie loved books and she read and read all day long,
03:39one day, Cassie noticed all of her books had been nibbled and chewed, tiny teeth marks everywhere,
03:47now she didn't mind the mice eating all the cakes and buns, but she did mind them eating
03:53her books, it was a catastrophe, luckily I was passing by, I had to think of something quick,
04:01I remembered mice love cheese, even more than they love cakes, I whispered into Cassie's
04:09ear, she picked up a very large book, opened the page and began to tell her story,
04:15the land of cheese, she said, there is a place far, far away, where everything is made of
04:24cheese, the houses are made of cheese, the trees are made of cheese, there are mountains
04:32of cheese, soon the mice stopped their nibbling and began to listen, living in the land of cheese
04:39cheese, sounded even more appealing than living in a baker's shop, eventually, one cheeky little
04:45mouse scurried up to Cassie and asked, excuse me, do you know how to get to the land of cheese,
04:51of course, replied Cassie and gave the mouse directions, the mice were so excited, they all
05:00scuttled out of the door and were never seen again, now Cassie can happily read her books
05:07and the baker can bake his cakes, little cook to the rescue once again, that was a great adventure
05:17and the baker doesn't have those naughty little mice nibbling away at his food all the time,
05:22hmm, whey, whoo-hoo, the trouble is, we know what mice like to eat, don't we?
05:28Hmm, cheese, lots of cheese, but we don't know what cats like to eat and Cassie the cat from
05:36the bakery will be tired of all those cakes, hmm, so what can we make for Cassie the cat?
05:41Oh, I know, Big Cook's Big Cookery book, of course, the Big Cookery book, there's recipes
05:56for everything in there, and where do we look for things to cook?
05:59In the book, in the book, in Big Cook's book, woo-hoo, well, well, look at this, fishy on
06:06a dishy, do cats like fish? Oh, they love fish, Ben! Then let's get cooking, you read out the
06:13ingredients, little cook, and I'll see if we've got them. Okay, let's see, we're going to need
06:17puff pastry, puff pastry in the fridge, okay, pastry, yep, got that, one egg, one egg, yes, got that as
06:25well, butter, butter in the fridge, yep, milk, milk again in the fridge, flour, flour, okay, got the
06:36flour, yep, one tin of tuna, one tin of tuna, there we are, lovely, and monge two or green
06:43beans, monge two, oh, I can get that from the garden. So, we've got monge two in the
06:50garden, but fish, now, I can't, I know fish live in the sea, but I can't exactly just go
06:55and pick a fish out of the sea, can I? Oh, well, of course not, Ben, fishermen catch fish
07:01in, in, what do fishermen catch fish in? Oh, I'll tell you what, Small, why don't you
07:09whiz off and find out, and I'll get all the ingredients ready. Good idea, Ben, I'll see
07:13you later. Hey, why don't you come along too? Whoosh, whoo-hoo! Go, Small, go, Small, whiz
07:27away! I wonder what he'll see today. There's a train! Choo-choo!
07:50Yeah.
07:51...
08:14...
08:15...
08:19Hey, this is the right place.
08:42That's a fishing boat.
08:44Fishermen sail their boats out to sea and catch fish in the nets.
08:49When the boats are full of fish, the fishermen sail back to harbour to unload.
09:02The fish are in those crates covered with ice to keep them fresh.
09:06Now the fish are taken away to be sold to fishmongers.
09:23Look at all the crates of fish.
09:25Fish come in all different shapes, sizes and colours.
09:32This man is selling the fish to all the fishmongers who sell the fish in their shops.
09:44Mmm, cats love fish.
09:46Better get back to the cafe.
09:48See you later.
09:50Mmm, cats love fish.
10:01Better get back to the cafe.
10:03See you later.
10:04Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
10:13Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
10:28Do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
10:30Ah, lovely freshly picked mange too, straight from Big Cook's garden.
10:34Mmm, mmm, mmm.
10:35That looks delicious.
10:37Whoa!
10:39Whee!
10:41Yoo-hoo, Big Cook Ben!
10:43Oh, hello there.
10:45You made me jump then.
10:46Everything's ready.
10:47Did you have a good trip?
10:48Oh, it was great, Big Cook Ben.
10:50I saw all the fishing boats collect all the fish
10:54and then I went to a fish market where I saw even more fish.
10:57Oh, then we better get cooking.
10:59Cassie the cat will be getting really hungry by now.
11:02We're all ready, so take a look and we will show you how to cook.
11:10Jelly boats and pirates go princess pea pies.
11:14Carrot cakes and fruity smiles and envelopes surprise.
11:18We love our cafe and we love to cook.
11:21We have a fantastic recipe book.
11:27He is Big Cook and he is small.
11:31Friends in our cafe, we cook for them all.
11:35When your tummy gets all rumbly, you're ready for a treat.
11:40You can make something delicious to eat.
11:44Have you cleaned the surfaces?
11:51Yes.
11:52Have you washed your hands?
11:53Yes.
11:54All clean and ready to cook.
11:57Do you remember the ingredients to fishy on a dishy?
12:00You do.
12:01There was puff pastry.
12:04One packet.
12:05Egg.
12:06One egg.
12:07Butter.
12:08One tablespoon.
12:09Milk.
12:10Half a cup.
12:11Flour.
12:12Two tablespoons.
12:13Tuna.
12:14One tin.
12:15And monge two or green beans.
12:17Just a few.
12:19Whoopee!
12:20Let's get started.
12:22First things first.
12:23I'm going to put the oven on to 220 degrees Celsius, gas mark seven.
12:27Make sure you get your grown-up helper to do that bit for you because the oven is hot,
12:31hot, hot.
12:32Right.
12:33Small, can you get your crayon out for me?
12:35I think we need a fish shape.
12:37Great.
12:38I might be small but I'm brilliant at drawing one fish shape coming up.
12:43And I'll roll out this puff pastry.
12:46Bit of flour here.
12:48Oi!
12:49Oi!
12:50Oi!
12:51That's going all over me.
12:53Oops.
12:54Sorry.
12:55Oh!
12:56And all over my fish shape.
13:00Oh, well that looks great, little cook.
13:03I'll cut out your fish shape if you beat the egg.
13:05Right you are, Ben.
13:07Roll the egg over.
13:08Oh!
13:09Stop that egg!
13:12Looks like the egg's beaten small.
13:14Phew!
13:17Now place your fish shape onto the pastry and cut round it.
13:24This is a job for your grown-up helper to do.
13:27And you can make any shape you like.
13:29Six little fish went swimming one day over the sea and far away.
13:34Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
13:37Phew!
13:38I've just broken the egg into a bowl.
13:40Now I've got to beat it.
13:41Where's my whisk?
13:43Aha!
13:46And all the little fish came swimming back.
13:49There's the last one done.
13:51Six fish on a dish.
13:54Greased with a little bit of oil.
13:56I'm just going to make one more ring on the middle of this last fish with a pastry cutter.
14:03There. You'll see what that's for later.
14:06Small, I'm going to need that beaten egg now.
14:10There. Beaten to perfection. Thank you very much.
14:14Thank you, Small.
14:17Now, brush some egg over the pastry fish.
14:20There we are.
14:22And then we're going to pop them in the oven for eight to ten minutes.
14:24The egg should help them go all golden-y.
14:30I'll set the timer.
14:34To ten minutes. There we go.
14:38In they go.
14:39Now it's time for the fishy filling.
14:42There we are.
14:43Melt the butter into a saucepan and then add the flour.
14:50Now stir it round with a wooden spoon.
14:54There we are. Keep stirring.
14:56And now I'm going to add half a cup of milk.
15:00Really carefully.
15:02Don't forget to tell them to keep on stirring so it doesn't go all lumpy.
15:07Keep stirring so it doesn't go all lumpy.
15:10Add your tuna.
15:11There we are.
15:16Mix it in.
15:19And then take it off the heat.
15:24By now the pastry fishes should be cooked.
15:30They're ready, Big Cook.
15:32Wow, they look great.
15:38Brilliant.
15:39We just need to wait for them to cool down.
15:45They're cool, they're cool.
15:47Take the middle out of the fish.
15:54There we are.
15:56Oh, careful.
15:57And fill the hole with the fishy filling.
16:03There we go.
16:05That's one.
16:08And two.
16:12Lovely.
16:13The fish are on a dish.
16:15Hee-hee.
16:16That rhymes.
16:18Fish and dish.
16:19Fish on a dish.
16:20Now place the monge too around the plate to look like seaweed.
16:25Oh, yes.
16:26Good idea.
16:34There we go.
16:36Big Cook and Little Cook's fishy on a dishie.
16:40Fishy on a dishie coming through.
16:42So what do we do now?
16:50Can't we play?
16:51Not yet, Small.
16:52Time to clean up and put away.
16:54Yippee!
17:01Wash, wipe, scrub and clean.
17:03Make the kitchen sparkle and gleam.
17:06My name's Ben.
17:10And my name's Small.
17:12We've got the cleanest kitchen of all.
17:16Tidy all the bits and pop.
17:18The things that help us do our job.
17:20Ingredients we'll put away.
17:22Ready for use another day.
17:24Pots and pans will start to smell.
17:25If we don't wash them really well.
17:27And now it's clear.
17:28Let's all smile.
17:29We'll be finished in a little while.
17:31All around.
17:33Up and down.
17:34We've got the cleanest cafe in town.
17:43Look, here comes the plate.
17:46Oh, yeah.
17:47And it looks like Cassie the cat enjoyed her fishy on a dishie.
17:51And she's left us a book and a note.
17:53What does it say?
17:54What does it say?
17:55Let's see.
17:58Let's look.
17:59It says,
18:00Dear Big Cook Ben and Little Cook Small,
18:02Thank you for my fishy on a dishie.
18:05It was purr-fect.
18:07Ha, ha, ha.
18:08Purr-fect.
18:10I thought you might like this book of rhymes.
18:13A book of rhymes?
18:15Brilliant.
18:16Oh, Small.
18:17Now we can play our rhyming game all the time.
18:20So it's a book for a cook.
18:22Ha, ha, ha.
18:23Yeah.
18:23A book for a cook.
18:25Ha, ha, ha.
18:26See you soon.
18:27See you soon.
18:29Okay, let's see.
18:30Oh, we've got Cat and Pat.
18:32Cat and Matt.
18:33Ha, ha, ha.
