00:00Big cook, little cook, welcome to our cafe. Big cook, little cook, want you to come and play.
00:15Meeting all the friends we cook for, sharing stories, trips and fun. Big cook, little cook, we'll cook for everyone.
00:29Hello. Hello. Welcome to our cafe. Welcome to our cafe. The best cafe in the world. The best cafe in the world. Small, why are you copying me? Small, why are you copying me? Ben, it's a game I'm playing. A game?
00:53Yes. It's called Follow the Leader. Everything that you do and everything that you say, I have to copy. Oh, right. I see. Hey, would you like to play and join in with us?
01:04Yes. Okay. Oh, I know. Boing, boing, boing. Boing, boing, boing. Were you jumping too?
01:14Okay. Um, oh. Whee! Whee! Oh, I'm a bit dizzy now. Oh, I'm a bit dizzy now. Oh, Small, I know a really good Follow My Leader song. It's called London's Burning.
01:30Oh, yes. Do you know that song? I'll start and then you follow me, Small. You all join in when Small sings. Here it goes.
01:41London's burning. London's burning. Fetch the engine. Fetch the engine. Fire, fire. Fire, fire. Pour on water. Pour on water.
01:53Oh, ho, ho. I'd love to ride around in a fire engine, Ben. Oh, yes, with the siren going, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina, nina,
02:23They're wearing a helmet. Hmm, I'm not sure. And they're carrying a hose pipe.
02:32Oh, I know, I know. It's a firefighter. He must have heard us singing.
02:38Yes, it is, Ben. It's Frank the firefighter.
02:45London's burning, London's burning. Fetch the engines, fetch the engines.
02:51Fire, fire, fire, fire, pour on water, pour on water.
02:58Oh, no, stop, stop.
03:06The firefighter thinks there really is a fire. He's trying to put it out.
03:12Oh, no, there really isn't a fire. I'm singing, that's all. Sorry.
03:18We'd better cook him a really nice meal. After all, firefighters work really hard.
03:24I know a story about a firefighter.
03:27I think it's time to look in my book.
03:30We need a story to help us cook.
03:42Let's take a look in Little Cook's book.
03:45Little Cook's Adventures in the Big World. Let me see.
03:49This story is all about Frank the firefighter, who loved to sing.
03:56But the trouble was, he had a really terrible singing voice.
04:01He sang very loudly, and he never got the tunes right.
04:05The other firefighters didn't know what to do.
04:08They liked Frank very much, and they didn't want to upset him.
04:11But they couldn't stand his singing.
04:13This made Frank very sad.
04:17One day, the firefighters were called out to an emergency.
04:21Frank wasn't allowed to sing anymore, so he just sat there looking glum.
04:26Mrs Miller's cat was stuck up a tree.
04:29He didn't want to be rescued.
04:31He spat and hissed and scratched.
04:34One by one, the other firefighters took turns to climb up and try and rescue the cat.
04:39But he scratched them all.
04:40When it was Frank's turn to climb the ladder, I had an idea.
04:45I whispered in Frank's ear.
04:47He nodded, and off he went.
04:50When he got near the branch where the cat was sitting,
04:53Frank took a deep breath and started singing at the top of his voice.
04:57The noise was terrible.
04:59The firefighters covered their ears.
05:01Mrs Miller covered her ears.
05:03I covered my ears.
05:05Even the cat couldn't stand the noise.
05:07He scarpered down the tree and jumped straight into Mrs Miller's arms.
05:12So Frank's terrible voice did have its uses after all.
05:16And as a special treat, he was allowed to sing in the fire engine.
05:20But only when the sirens were on, so the others couldn't hear him.
05:24Little come to the rescue once again.
05:26That was a great adventure.
05:30Oh, I'm glad they let Frank sing again.
05:32That was a good idea of yours, small.
05:34Whey!
05:36But how's it given us a good idea?
05:39What can we cook for Frank the firefighter?
05:42Hmm.
05:43Firefighters must get very hungry.
05:45I know, Big Cook's Big Cookery book.
05:57Of course, the Big Cookery book.
05:59There's recipes for everything in there.
06:01And where do we look for things to cook?
06:04In the book, in the book, in Big Cook's book.
06:09Oh yes, here it is.
06:10The very thing for a firefighter's lunch.
06:13Neen or sirens.
06:14Oh, I see.
06:15They're like the lights on top of fire engines.
06:18But real fire engines have flashing blue lights.
06:21So why are these red?
06:23Because we're using red peppers.
06:25You can't get blue peppers.
06:28Come on, small.
06:29You read out the ingredients and I'll see if we've got them.
06:31OK, let's see.
06:32We're going to need peppers.
06:34OK, over to the fridge.
06:36Here we are.
06:37Peppers.
06:38Yep.
06:38Got those, small.
06:39And onion.
06:41Onion.
06:42Yep.
06:42Here it is.
06:43Tofu.
06:45Tofu.
06:46Right.
06:47Got the tofu, small.
06:49Couscous.
06:50In the cupboard.
06:52Here we are.
06:53Couscous.
06:54Yep.
06:54Got it.
06:55And oil.
06:57There we are.
06:58Got it.
06:59Brilliant.
07:01Everything we need for the recipe.
07:04Tofu's interesting stuff, isn't it?
07:06I wonder how they make it.
07:08Hey, why don't you whiz off and find out, little cook, and I'll get everything ready.
07:12That's a great idea, Ben.
07:14See you later.
07:15Woo-hoo!
07:15Hey, why don't you come along, too?
07:20Woo-hoo!
07:25Go, small.
07:26Go, small.
07:27Whiz away.
07:29I wonder what he'll see today.
07:31Bye.
07:31Bye.
07:32Bye.
07:35Four.
07:43Bye.
07:43Bye.
07:51Bye.
07:54Bye.
07:55Bye.
07:55Bye.
07:56There's a train!
08:11Choo-choo!
08:26Wahey, this is the right place.
08:37This is where tofu is made.
08:42Tofu is made from beans, and the beans are called soya beans.
08:48There they are!
09:04To make tofu, first of all the beans have to be crushed in this machine.
09:08The crushed beans travel through these pipes, into these big vats to be cooked.
09:36A special ingredient is added so that the bean mixture turns into curds and whey.
09:58This is the curds and whey.
10:00We have to get rid of the whey and keep the curd.
10:06And the mixture is squeezed so much that the whey runs away.
10:14And you're left with the curd.
10:22It's tofu, and now it has to be put into water to cool down.
10:30It has to stay in the water until it's packed up and sent to the shops.
10:34Brilliant!
10:35I can't wait to tell Ben about tofu.
10:40Tofu is made from soya beans.
10:48The tortillas is made from soya beans.
10:54Whey!
10:56I'm back!
10:59I found out all about tofu.
11:02It was amazing.
11:04It's made from soya beans, you know!
11:07Is everything ready for the recipe?

15:26And I'll do one more.
15:27There.
15:37The fire's out.
15:38It's a tough job being a firefighter.
15:41I think I need to sit down.
15:43And press it down with the back of your spoon so you can pack it all in.
15:50Frank, our real firefighter, must be getting pretty hungry by now.
15:54So I'm going to put the red pepper onto a greased baking tray and pop it in the oven.
16:02Now I've already set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius, gas mark six.
16:06Over we go.
16:08And make sure you get your grown-up helper to do this bit for you, because remember, the oven is hot, hot, hot.

16:16And then I'll set the timer.
16:17In it goes.
16:18For 30 minutes.
16:23It's cooked and cool now, and smells delicious.
16:42Here we go.
