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.
00:30Three, four, five, oh, coming, ready or not.
00:37Oh, hello everyone. Welcome to our cafe, the best cafe in the world.
00:42We're just having a game of hide and seek. It's Small's turn to hide. Will you help me find him?
00:48Now, where is he?
00:53Oh, I can't see him anywhere. Can you?
00:56What? Is he over here? What? Over here? Oh, right. Shh. Here, found you.
01:08Oh, well done, Ben.
01:11Well, I did have a little bit of help, Small.
01:14Oh, hello. Are you playing too?
01:17OK, it's my turn to hide now. Close your eyes, Small. No peeping. You close your eyes too.
01:23OK, OK. Right. We cover our eyes and count to five. Ready?
01:30One, two, three, four, five.
01:35Coming. Ready or not.
01:36Found you.
01:43Oh, it's not fair. You've got lots of places to hide, Small, but me? I'm just too big.
01:51Oh, you always find me.
01:54We'll have to play this game later, Ben. We've got a customer. I'm on my way.
01:58Who is it, little cook? Who is it?
02:09Wow! It's Edna the Explorer.
02:13Wow! Edna the Explorer. Ho-ho!
02:16An explorer is someone who travels the world to see what faraway places look like.
02:22Yes. And explorers learn about all the animals and plants that live in those places.
02:26They certainly do, Ben. But what would an explorer like to eat?
02:31I think it's time to look in my book.
02:42We need a story to help us cook.
02:45Let's take a look in Little Cook's book.
02:48Little Cook's Adventures in the Big World. Let me see.
02:52This story is called Animal Hide and Seek.
02:57It's about Edna the Explorer, who went to Africa to see all the wonderful animals that live there.
03:04Edna had her camera ready to take photographs, but she didn't see any animals.
03:08Not a single one.
03:10They had all disappeared.
03:12When I met Edna, I told her that the animals hadn't really disappeared.
03:16It was just that they were very good at hiding.
03:19Get out of your truck and wait quietly, I said.
03:24They'll soon come out of their hiding places.
03:27And sure enough, from a group of trees, two zebras appeared.
03:32Edna was so excited, she leapt up and started taking photographs.
03:36The zebras jumped up in fright, ran back to the trees and disappeared again.
03:41You see, the animals are hiding from you in places where the leaves and flowers are the same colour as they are, I explained.
03:49It's called camouflage, and animals are very good at it.
03:54But they won't come out if they can see you.
03:57You need some camouflage too.
03:59So I helped Edna to camouflage herself.
04:02Edna rolled in the dust to make her new Explorer's jacket a dark, earthy colour.
04:06And I stuck leaves all over her bright new hat.
04:10Then we lay in the grass and waited quietly.
04:14Before long, out came the zebras.
04:18Then a leopard.
04:20Then a beautiful parrot with brilliant blue and red feathers.
04:25Edna was so well camouflaged, she was able to watch all the wonderful animals without them knowing she was there.
04:32Little cook to the rescue once again!
04:35That was a great adventure!
04:38Oh-ho!
04:39And that was a very clever idea you had to camouflage the Explorer like the animals!
04:44Wahey!
04:45Hoo-hoo!
04:46Thanks, Ben!
04:47Now we need a clever idea for the Explorer's lunch!
04:50Hmm.
04:51Now what do Explorers like to eat?
04:53I know Big Cook's Big Cookery book!
05:05Of course!
05:07The Big Cookery book!
05:08There's recipes for everything in there!
05:10And where do we look for things to cook?
05:13In the book!
05:14In the book!
05:14In Big Cook's book!
05:16Oh yes, look!
05:19The very thing for an Explorer's lunch!
05:21Tiger sushi!
05:23What sushi, Ben?
05:24Well, it's, erm...
05:25It's got rice in it and...
05:27That's all I know, really!
05:29Tiger sushi!
05:30Oh yes, I can see the rice!
05:32And those colours do look like a tiger, don't they?
05:34Yeah!
05:35An orange and black tiger, hiding in the grass!
05:38Oh!
05:38Just like the animals in your story, Small!
05:41Come on then, you read out the ingredients and I'll see if we've got them!
05:44OK, let's see, we're going to need carrots!
05:46OK, over to the fridge!
05:48Here we go, in here, carrots!
05:51Yes, got those, Small!
05:53Cucumber!
05:55Cucumber!
05:56Lovely and green!
05:57Cucumber, got it!
05:59Raisins!
06:00Raisins over here in the cupboard!
06:02Here we go, raisins!
06:04It's got the raisins!
06:05And rice!
06:06Rice!
06:07All white!
06:08Got the rice as well!
06:12There we are!
06:14Everything we need for tiger sushi!
06:18Sushi!
06:19I like that word!
06:20I wish I knew more about how it's made!
06:23Hey, why don't you whiz off and find out, and I'll get everything ready!
06:27That's a great idea, Ben!
06:28I'll be back in a jiffy!
06:30Ho-hoo!
06:30Hey, why don't you come along, too?
06:35Woo-hoo!
06:38Whoa!
06:40Go, Small!
06:41Go, Small!
06:41Whiz away!
06:42I wonder what he'll see today!
06:45Woo-hoo!
06:46Hey, I'm in the right place here!
07:02Woo-hoo!
07:03Hey, I'm in the right place here!
07:14This man is Japanese, and he's making a Japanese food called sushi.
07:23Sushi is made with lots of rice.
07:29And that looks like fish.
07:32It's salmon, and it's being laid on the rice.
07:35That's cucumber!
07:41Salmon and cucumber go very well together.
07:48Hmm, what's happening now?
07:50Aren't they pretty?
08:02They're called sushi rolls.
08:06Oh, he's going to make another one now.
08:10First of all, you spread out the rice.
08:12This time, he's going to use some slices of avocado pear.
08:22And to top it off, sprinkle on some sesame seeds.
08:26Sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle!
08:27And this is the fun bit.
08:34Time to roll it up.
08:41Onto the plate, ready to eat.
08:48Arigato!
08:49Oh, that means thank you, in Japanese.
08:55Oh, look!
08:56They're not using a knife and fork to eat with.
08:59They're using chopsticks.
09:07That was brilliant!
09:08See you later!
09:09Ben, I'm back!
09:21Ben?
09:23Where are you, Ben?
09:26Do you think he's hiding again?
09:28Shall we try to find him?
09:29OK!
09:39Oh, it's no good.
09:44I still can't find a good hiding place.
09:47Don't worry, Ben.
09:48It's cooking time.
09:50I found out everything you need to know about sushi.
09:52It was so interesting.
09:54Sounds great.
09:55Well, all the ingredients are ready.
09:57We're all ready, so take a look.
09:59And we will show you how to cook.
10:05Jelly boats and pirates go
10:07Princess pea pies
10:09Parrot cakes and fruity smiles
10:11And envelope surprise
10:13We love our cafe and we love to cook
10:16We have a fantastic recipe book
10:20He is big cook and he is small
10:26Friends in our cafe, we cook for them all
10:30When your tummy gets all rumbly
10:33You're ready for a treat
10:35You can make something delicious to eat
10:39Have you cleaned the surfaces?
10:47Yes.
10:48Have you washed your hands?
10:49Yes.
10:50All clean and ready to cook
10:53Do you remember the ingredients to tiger sushi?
10:57You do.
10:58There were carrots
10:59Two
11:00Peeled
11:01Cucumber
11:02One thick slice
11:03Raisins
11:04Half a cup
11:05Rice
11:06Half a cup
11:07And a food ring
11:09One
11:09Whoopee!
11:11Let's get started!
11:13OK then, first things first
11:15The first thing I'm going to do is boil the rice
11:17So, put the rice into a saucepan
11:21And pour in just enough water
11:23To cover the rice
11:25There we are
11:28Put the lid on
11:30And turn on the heat
11:32And make sure you get your grown up helper to do this bit for you
11:35Because it's a hob job
11:36And the hob is hot, hot, hot
11:38Simmer the rice on a low heat for 15 minutes
11:41I'll set the timer
11:42For 15 minutes
11:47The rice is cooked now
11:53So I'm just going to leave it here to cool
11:54Which gives us time to grate the carrots
11:57And Small, could you sort out the raisins?
12:00Okie dokie!
12:02Now we need to grate the carrots really finely
12:05Into little thin strips
12:06Like this
12:07Now this could take quite a long time
12:12And if you're doing the grating
12:14Be very careful of your fingers
12:15How are you getting on, Small?
12:21Small?
12:23Oh!
12:26I was just testing the raisin, Ben
12:28To make sure it was
12:29Raisiny enough
12:31And is it?
12:34Yes it is, Ben
12:35Good
12:36Right
12:37Ok then
12:38The rice has cooled down now
12:40So we can start to put the ingredients together
12:42So take the food ring
12:44And put it onto a plate
12:45What happens next, Small?
12:47Take some rice
12:48And put it in the food ring
12:50Until the bottom is covered
12:51Use a spoon to press it down tightly
12:53Ok then
12:55Put some rice in
12:57There we are
12:59Then put a thin layer of grated carrots on top of the rice
13:08And press that down too
13:09Grated carrots
13:12On top
13:13Do the same with some of the raisins
13:21There you go
13:22Thanks, Small
13:23Just enough to cover the carrot
13:26And I'll put a few more on
13:28And press them down
13:31Nearly done
13:36Just press them down
13:37OK
13:43Now some more carrot
13:45On it goes
13:50A little more
13:53OK, Small
14:01And some more rice
14:03The rice
14:05The rice has to be at the top at the end
14:06I can't wait to see the tiger sushi roar
14:18Roar
14:20There
14:22Finished
14:23Now carefully lift the food ring
14:25And push the tower of food down onto the plate
14:28Carefully
14:31Carefully
14:34Woohoo
14:42Look at that
14:43That's brilliant, Ben
14:45Now for the grass that goes around the tiger
14:48OK then
14:50Now I've cut the cucumber
14:52Into four pieces
14:54I've scooped out the middle
14:57And then
14:59I've used a pair of scissors
15:00To cut out the skin
15:02And make it look like blades of grass
15:04So
15:06I'm just going to finish off the last one now
15:08Scoop out the middle
15:12Careful
15:15There we are
15:17And then
15:19Use the pair of scissors
15:20To make it look like a blade of grass
15:22And make sure you get your grown up helper
15:24To do this bit for you
15:25There we go
15:31And then
15:35Pop them on the plate
15:37Just around the tiger sushi
15:39Oh
15:50It looks like there's a little tiger
15:53Peeping through the long grass
15:54And I'll finish off
15:56With a little pot
15:58Of soy sauce
15:59I think Edna the explorer
16:04Will love it
16:05Here we go
16:06One tiger sushi
16:11Coming through
16:12So what do we do now?
16:16Can we play?
16:18Not yet
16:19Time to clean and put away
16:21Hooray!
16:22Wash, wipe, scrub and clean
16:30Make the kitchen sparkle and gleam
16:33My name's Ben
16:37And my name's Small
16:39We've got the cleanest kitchen of all
16:43Tidy all the bits and bobs
16:45The things that help us do our job
16:47Ingredients well put away
16:49Ready for use another day
16:51Pots and pans will start to smell
16:53If we don't wash them really well
16:55And now it's clear
16:56Let's all smile
16:57We'll be finished in a little while
16:58All around
17:00Up and down
17:01We've got the cleanest cafe in town
17:05A-ha, here comes the plate
17:12Ho-ho, that was quick
17:15Edna the explorer must have been very hungry
17:17And look Small
17:19She's left a note
17:21Well, what does it say?
17:22What does it say?
17:24Let's see, shall we?
17:26It says, dear big cook Ben
17:28And little cook Small
17:29My tiger sushi was scrummy
17:31I'm off to India now
17:34A country far, far away
17:35To see some real tigers
17:37To say thank you
17:38Here's a little present
17:40A camouflaged hat
17:41Which I think Ben will find very useful
17:44In his game of hide and seek
17:46Brilliant
17:47Whoa
17:48Well, go on, Ben
17:51Go and hide
17:52OK
17:52Woo-hoo
17:53OK then

18:10I can't find him anywhere
18:12Can you see him?
18:16OK, Ben
18:17I give up
18:18Where are you?
18:20Here I am
18:20You couldn't see me, could you?
18:25My hat
18:26Looked just like the plant
18:28See, camouflage really does work
18:31See you soon
