00:00Big cook, little cook, welcome to our cafe. Big cook, little cook, want you to come and play.
00:17Meeting all the friends we cook for, sharing stories, trips and fun. Big cook, little cook, we'll cook for everyone.
00:30Oh, hello everyone. Welcome to our cafe, the best cafe in the world. Small and I have just been on a long walk.
00:42Hello. A very long walk indeed. It was a bit muddy though.
00:47Oh, Ben, look at all your muddy footprints.
00:51What? Where?
00:52There and there and stop Ben, you're making more.
00:56I forgot to wipe my feet at the door. I'll take my shoes off.
01:06I'm a little bit too tired for cleaning up now, especially after that long walk.
01:10Me too. Stop yawning, Small. You're making me yawn. No, no, you're making me yawn.
01:22Pickle my onions. Let's hope we don't have to do too much cooking today.
01:26Come on, Small. We've got a customer. It's cooking time.
01:31I thought you said you were too tired.
01:33I think I could manage a little cooking.
01:36Ho, ho, ho, ho. I'm on my way. Woo-hoo.
01:40And who's in our cafe today, Small?
01:47My word. You should be able to guess who it is, Ben.
01:54He's a very little man and even smaller than me.
01:57Erm, I don't know.
02:00He's wearing a green hat and pointy shoes.
02:03I've got it, Small. He must be an elf.
02:07Yes, that's right. It's Ernie the elf.
02:10Is he all on his own?
02:13Yes, one elf.
02:15An elf, an elf, all by himself.
02:18Well, at least if he's small, he won't want too much to eat.
02:21Just because he's small, Ben, it doesn't mean he can't eat a lot.
02:25What can we cook for an elf?
02:27I think it's time to look in my book.
02:39We need a story to help us cook.
02:41Let's take a look in Little Cook's book.
02:44Little Cook's adventures in the big world.
02:47Let me see.
02:52A story about Ernie the elf.
02:54I remember now.
02:55One day I was walking through a wood, looking at the trees, the plants, the birds and the animals.
03:02After a while, the path became overgrown with bushes and brambles.
03:07By the time I got through, I was mucky and messy and all of a muddle, and my shoes were in pieces.
03:14I couldn't carry on through the wood like that, so I sat down and wondered what to do.
03:20Suddenly, Ernie and his elf friends appeared.
03:24They were wearing beautiful clothes and beautiful shoes.
03:28They told me that a shoemaker had given them their beautiful clothes.
03:32A little while ago, Ernie the elf helped a shoemaker by making lots of shoes for him.
03:38The shoemaker was so pleased, he made them some special clothes as a present.
03:42Ernie and his elf friends were very good at making shoes.
03:46They said that they would make me some new ones and lend me some of their lovely clothes.
03:51I was so pleased with my new shoes and clothes, I wanted to do something to thank Ernie and his friends.
03:57So I said I would make them a big supper.
04:01In a puff of magic, we were all in the elves' kitchen.
04:05I made the supper and everybody thought it was delicious.
04:09Little cook to the rescue once again!
04:13That was a great adventure.
04:16I bet those elves enjoyed their supper, Small.
04:19After all, you're a very good cook.
04:21Wahey!
04:23Thank you, Ben! I think you are too!
04:26And talking of cooking, Small, we still don't know what to cook for our customer.
04:30Hmm, has my story given you any ideas about what to cook for an elf?
04:35Hmm, I don't know.
04:36What did you cook for their supper, Small?
04:38Er...
04:40Erm...
04:41Oh, I can't remember, Ben!
04:43Oh dear, that's no good.
04:45Now, what to cook for an elf? Let's think.

06:15There's just one problem, Small!
06:17Let me guess!
06:18We haven't got any mushrooms!
06:20We haven't got any mushrooms!
06:23Well, don't worry, Ben!

06:44Yeah!
06:45Look at constraint!
06:50And Shrimp All-I ¿Qué?
06:55This is the right place, let's have a look.
07:19Wowee, this room is full of mushrooms.
07:30The mushrooms are being picked.
07:36Off come the stalks.
07:43These mushrooms are grown in a special soil.
07:50The young mushrooms are very small, but in a few days they grow much bigger and then
07:55they are picked.
07:58This is where the mushrooms are brought to be packed into boxes.
08:05The boxes have to be checked to make sure they are full.
08:18Now the mushrooms are all packed and ready to go to the shops.
08:35It's time to get back to Ben, see you later.
08:50Wahey, I'm back.
08:54Woohoo, I found out all about mushrooms.
08:58And guess what?
08:59They grow in really long tunnels.
09:02Woohoo.
09:04Ben?
09:05Are you asleep?
09:07Ben?
09:08Oh, onions, treacle.
09:09Yes, great.
09:10Oh, hello there, Small.
09:13Are you still tired from our walk?
09:16Yes, I think I must be.
09:18I need a good long rest.
09:20But not now, Ben.
09:21We need to make healthy mushrooms.
09:23Right, you are, Small.
09:24Elfy mushrooms it is.
09:25But we'll need mushrooms.
09:27That's lucky, Ben.
09:29Woohoo.
09:30Wow.
09:31Come on, Ben, let's get cooking.
09:36We're all ready, so take a look.
09:39And we will show you how to cook.
09:41Jelly boats and pirates go princess pea pies.
09:49Carrot cakes and fruity smiles.
09:51And envelopes surprise.
09:53We love our cafe and we love to cook.
09:56We have a fantastic recipe book.
10:03He is big cook and he is small.
10:06Friends in our cafe, we cook for them all.
10:10When your tummy gets all rumbly, you're ready for a treat.
10:15You can make something delicious to eat.
10:25Have you cleaned the surfaces?
10:27Yes.
10:28Have you washed your hands?
10:29Yes.
10:30All clean and ready to cook.
10:33Do you remember the ingredients to Elfy mushrooms?
10:36You do?
10:37There was bread.
10:39Two slices.
10:40An onion.
10:41A quarter.
10:42Chopped.
10:43An egg.
10:44One.
10:45Radishes.
10:46Three.
10:47Soft cheese.
10:48Half a cup.
10:49Cheese slices.
10:50Three.
10:51And mushrooms.
10:52Three.
10:53Whoopee.
10:54Let's get started.
10:56Now the first thing I'm going to do is turn on the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
11:01Gas mark four.
11:03And make sure you get your grown up helper to do this bit for you.
11:06Because remember, the oven is hot, hot, hot.
11:09I've washed the mushrooms and taken off the stalks Ben.
11:12Look.
11:13Well done Small.
11:14That's the most important part.
11:16So now I want you to mash up these mushrooms while I crumble the bread.
11:21Thanks Ben.
11:23Give it a good old scrunch and a crumble.
11:29In it all goes.
11:32There we are.
11:35How are those stalks coming along Small?
11:37Mash mash mash mash mash mash mash mash mash mash mash mash.
11:41Woo hoo.
11:42Phew.
11:43Stalks are ready Ben.
11:46Thanks Small.
11:48Perfectly mashed.
11:50So now it all goes in together with the bread crumbs.
11:54So in go the stalks.
11:57There we are.
12:00And then in go our chopped onions.
12:04The egg.
12:09Oh great.
12:13Oh and I nearly forgot.
12:15Our soft cheese.
12:17I'll get a scoop full.
12:19And in it goes.
12:22Oh I like this bit.
12:24Oh no.
12:27Not again.
12:29Oh dear.
12:32Oops.
12:33Sorry Small.
12:35Now it's time to mix it all up.
12:38So.
12:39Round and round it all goes.
12:41The bread crumbs there.
12:43I can certainly smell the onions.
12:45Mix it all up together.
12:47There.
12:48Once we've done that.
12:53Then it's time to put the mixture into each of the mushrooms.
12:57So.
12:58Here we go.
12:59Take a spoonful.
13:00Be very careful.
13:01On top.
13:02I'm going to press it down lightly with the spoon.
13:05Not too much.
13:06There we are.
13:07And then pop it onto a grease baking tray.
13:12There's one.
13:13Wahey.
13:14Look what I found.
13:15My elf slippers.
13:16They look great.
13:17I know.
13:18I'll try them on.
13:19Hoo hoo.
13:20Hoo hoo.
13:21There we are.
13:22All the mushrooms filled with the mixture.
13:23So now all we have to do is put a square of cheese on top of each one.
13:40Here we go.
13:41So that's one on there.
13:47And another one in the middle.
13:51Very good.
13:53And the last one.
13:56On here.
13:58Great.
13:59And now they're ready to go in the oven.
14:01So.
14:02Oven gloves on.
14:04And over we go.
14:07And make sure you get your grown up helper to do this bit for you.
14:10Because the oven is hot, hot, hot.
14:14In they go.
14:17For 15 minutes.
14:19I'll set the timer.
14:22For 15 minutes.
14:25Look Ben look.
14:26I found my elf shoes.
14:28Hoo hoo.
14:29They're so comfy and light.
14:31Hee hee.
14:33Oh ha ha.
14:34They look great small.
14:35Oh.
14:36But they've reminded me that we've still got to clean up those muddy footprints.
14:49The cheese is all melted now.
14:52Oh yes.
14:53Melted.
14:54And very hot.
14:55That's right.
14:56Very hot, hot, hot.
14:58So make sure you get your grown up helper to take them out of the oven for you.
15:01And now we leave them to cool.
15:03Hoo hoo.
15:04Hoo hoo.
15:05These elf shoes made me want to dance.
15:06Hoo hoo hoo.
15:07Hoo hoo hoo.
15:08Hoo hoo hoo.
15:09Hoo hoo hoo.
15:10Hoo hoo hoo.
15:11Hoo hoo hoo.
15:12Hoo hoo hoo.
15:13Very good small.
15:14Hoo hoo hoo.
15:15Hoo hoo hoo.
15:16OK.
15:17Now our mushrooms have cooled down a little.
15:19So I can pick them up with my hand.
15:21I've also chopped the top and bottoms off these radishes.
15:25And popped a little bit of soft cheese on the top.
15:28So that our mushrooms will stick.
15:30So all we have to do now is put our elfy mushrooms on top of the radishes.
15:37There we go.
15:39That's one there.
15:42And another one there.
15:45On it goes.
15:47See?
15:48The cheese is making them stick.
15:50And the final one.
15:53Let's try and get it on.
15:56There.
15:57Looks great, doesn't it?
15:59Thanks for the dance elf shoes.
16:01Hoo hoo hoo.

16:11Just right for an elf.
