If you just joined
us on Cook:30 for Kids,
00:00:01.50\00:00:03.30
we're cooking up a
storm in the kitchen.
00:00:03.33\00:00:05.53
We have Sophia from California,
00:00:05.57\00:00:07.64
and Lachlan and
Lily from Illinois.
00:00:07.67\00:00:10.51
What's on the menu today, guys?
00:00:10.54\00:00:13.27
Today we're making
butternut mac cheese platter
00:00:13.31\00:00:16.51
with a creamy
coleslaw, sounds amazing.
00:00:16.54\00:00:19.28
Yes, it does.
00:00:19.31\00:00:20.68
And for dessert,
we're going to have
00:00:20.72\00:00:22.18
some macadamia cherry ice cream.
00:00:22.22\00:00:25.55
Ice cream!
00:00:25.59\00:00:27.36
Okay, we got three
very passionate chefs
00:00:29.49\00:00:31.23
in the kitchen
here. Is it going well?
00:00:31.26\00:00:33.13
Oh, we didn't turn it
on, that would have helped.
00:00:33.16\00:00:36.06
We get that
cooking, fortunately,
00:00:36.10\00:00:37.43
it doesn't take very
long to cook pasta so
00:00:37.47\00:00:38.80
and it's already boiled.
00:00:38.83\00:00:40.17
So the butternut
squash is cooking,
00:00:40.20\00:00:41.67
it's probably a
few more minutes,
00:00:41.70\00:00:43.04
it doesn't look kind
like it's some soft yet.
00:00:43.07\00:00:45.24
We got this
dressing done which is great.
00:00:45.27\00:00:47.64
Did you know that
I can lick my elbow?
00:00:47.68\00:00:49.91
Can you? Yup.
00:00:49.94\00:00:51.28
Okay. Ready?
00:00:51.31\00:00:52.65
See this? Yup.
00:00:56.45\00:00:57.92
Can you lick your elbow?
00:01:00.32\00:01:01.66
Is it actually
possible to lick your elbow?
00:01:01.69\00:01:03.02
I think some people
can but it's very hard.
00:01:03.06\00:01:05.09
I can't get even
close. Can you, Lachlan?
00:01:05.13\00:01:06.80
I'll try.
00:01:06.83\00:01:08.56
Sophia, can you lick your elbow?
00:01:08.60\00:01:10.77
No... No.
00:01:10.80\00:01:13.67
Okay, so why to lick your elbow,
00:01:13.70\00:01:15.04
let's use macaroni elbow.
00:01:15.07\00:01:16.44
Nice one, Lily.
00:01:16.47\00:01:17.81
Chef Jeremy... Yes.
00:01:17.84\00:01:19.17
Is it okay to put the
leaves of the celery in?
00:01:19.21\00:01:20.54
Yup, that's okay,
the leaves of the celery
00:01:20.58\00:01:21.91
are actually really
flavor some as well,
00:01:21.94\00:01:23.28
as long as they're
nice and everything,
00:01:23.31\00:01:24.65
that's s brilliant. Okay.
00:01:24.68\00:01:26.01
So we better
start mixing this in,
00:01:26.05\00:01:27.38
so, Sophia, if you
can just pour this over...
00:01:27.42\00:01:28.75
Okay.
00:01:28.78\00:01:30.12
And just kind of start mixing
00:01:30.15\00:01:31.49
and you can use
your hands to mix this.
00:01:31.52\00:01:32.85
Cool. So Chef...
00:01:32.89\00:01:34.22
There's nothing like
using your hands to do things.
00:01:34.26\00:01:35.59
Whole thing? The
whole thing, yup.
00:01:35.62\00:01:36.96
So, Chef Jeremy, what's
your favorite vegetable?
00:01:36.99\00:01:38.89
My favorite
vegetable would probably be...
00:01:38.93\00:01:42.06
I quite like cherry tomatoes.
00:01:42.10\00:01:43.93
They're just lovely
and so I can actually eat
00:01:43.97\00:01:45.33
a pound of them for lunch
00:01:45.37\00:01:46.70
just kind of
eating cherry tomatoes,
00:01:46.74\00:01:48.07
they're really, really yummy.
00:01:48.10\00:01:49.50
So we're actually going
to prepare this as a platter.
00:01:49.54\00:01:51.94
So a platter, rather than having
00:01:51.97\00:01:53.44
individual bowls of stuff,
00:01:53.48\00:01:54.81
we're just
gonna make one platter
00:01:54.84\00:01:56.18
with all these
yummy ingredients.
00:01:56.21\00:01:57.55
What did you got
there? Chef Jeremy...
00:01:57.58\00:01:58.91
Yeah? This one isn't good.
00:01:58.95\00:02:00.28
No, leave that
one out, this one.
00:02:00.32\00:02:01.65
Leave it out side. Oh, okay.
00:02:01.68\00:02:03.02
So mix it through,
get your hands dirty,
00:02:03.05\00:02:04.39
looking good, get the
celery in there as well
00:02:04.42\00:02:06.55
'cause it's lovely dressing.
00:02:06.59\00:02:08.26
I'm also gonna add some
sesame seeds in here as well,
00:02:08.29\00:02:10.43
toasted sesame
seeds. It smells delicious.
00:02:10.46\00:02:12.16
Just for a bit of extra
flavor so keep mixing around,
00:02:12.19\00:02:17.23
it'll be a really,
really beautiful salad.
00:02:17.27\00:02:19.73
It's not cooking unless
you get your hands dirty.
00:02:19.77\00:02:21.90
Exactly, exactly. Good policy.
00:02:21.94\00:02:24.54
So that's underway
so we could probably,
00:02:24.57\00:02:26.54
what's coming next?
00:02:26.57\00:02:27.91
Oh, olives. So
we got some olives.
00:02:27.94\00:02:29.54
So we're gonna use
some olives on the platter
00:02:29.58\00:02:30.91
just to make it interesting.
00:02:30.95\00:02:32.28
We might just, if you can
just drain those in the sink?
00:02:32.31\00:02:34.18
So just tore them out
00:02:34.22\00:02:35.55
so that hold your
fingers on the end
00:02:35.58\00:02:36.95
and does pour it through
so you just got olives left
00:02:36.99\00:02:38.92
and no juice. Got some carrots.
00:02:38.95\00:02:40.96
That's looking
beautiful, well mix there.
00:02:40.99\00:02:42.92
So what we're going to do,
I'm just going to grab this
00:02:42.96\00:02:45.33
and we're just
going to pour this
00:02:45.36\00:02:47.46
into the bowl in like this?
00:02:47.50\00:02:48.83
Can I wash my hands?
00:02:48.86\00:02:50.20
You certainly
can wash your hands.
00:02:50.23\00:02:51.60
I probably should
too. Yup, that's good?
00:02:51.63\00:02:54.04
So basically just gonna
have one side of this platter
00:02:54.07\00:02:55.80
which is going to be coleslaw,
and the other side mac cheese,
00:02:55.84\00:02:58.47
all these lovely
ingredients around the plate.
00:02:58.51\00:03:00.14
So always when you
prepare dish in one platter,
00:03:00.18\00:03:02.84
it saves on dishes, they
just looks absolutely delicious.
00:03:02.88\00:03:06.35
Better wash my hands too.
00:03:06.38\00:03:10.49
Now we're gonna make a sauce
that's kind of the mac cheese.
00:03:10.52\00:03:13.62
So we got blender here.
00:03:13.66\00:03:15.52
So, Lachlan, if you
can get some cashew nuts,
00:03:15.56\00:03:18.99
so if you can get
a cup of cashew nuts
00:03:19.03\00:03:20.36
into the blender here.
00:03:20.40\00:03:22.03
So we're just gonna add
lots of yummy ingredients
00:03:22.06\00:03:24.83
to make this really
lovely cheesy sauce.
00:03:24.87\00:03:28.70
A bit of clear up here.
00:03:28.74\00:03:30.74
So we're gonna add
a cup of cashew nuts.
00:03:30.77\00:03:33.41
What is the vinegar
at for in the olives?
00:03:33.44\00:03:38.01
I'm not sure that what
just comes in the olives.
00:03:38.05\00:03:39.91
It just kind of a way
they kind of pickle them
00:03:39.95\00:03:41.78
to make them that. Okay.
00:03:41.82\00:03:43.79
Yes, put in there, so
one cup of cashew nuts.
00:03:43.82\00:03:45.42
If you can put in...
00:03:45.45\00:03:47.96
Check my recipe here,
if you can grab, Sophia,
00:03:47.99\00:03:51.19
if you can grab the
almond milk from the fridge,
00:03:51.23\00:03:52.89
it's in the round bottle. Okay.
00:03:52.93\00:03:54.60
And so two cups of almond
milk, one cup of cashew nuts.
00:03:54.63\00:03:58.33
And we're gonna
add some flake yeast.
00:03:58.37\00:03:59.93
And flake nutritional yeast
is a really lovely ingredient
00:03:59.97\00:04:02.90
to use it gets
really nice cheesy taste.
00:04:02.94\00:04:04.27
If you can put three tablespoons
00:04:04.31\00:04:05.64
of that in there, Lachlan?
00:04:05.67\00:04:07.01
So what does the yeast do?
00:04:07.04\00:04:08.38
The yeast just adds
a really nice kind of,
00:04:08.41\00:04:10.35
it's just a very nice salty
kind of cheesy kind of flavor,
00:04:10.38\00:04:13.11
so we're not using
cheese, it's a good alternative.
00:04:13.15\00:04:14.48
Yes, that's awesome. So
two cups of almond milk.
00:04:14.52\00:04:17.65
My brother drinks almond
milk, but I don't drink it.
00:04:17.69\00:04:23.02
There's lots of
great milks around you,
00:04:23.06\00:04:24.69
you can get almond milk,
hemp milk, macadamia milk
00:04:24.73\00:04:27.40
is really nice,
soy milk, rice milk...
00:04:27.43\00:04:30.10
I like soy milk.
00:04:30.13\00:04:31.47
You name it, oat milk,
00:04:31.50\00:04:32.90
there's so many awesome
plant based milks around.
00:04:32.93\00:04:35.24
There is oat
milk? Yeah, oat milk.
00:04:35.27\00:04:37.64
Yeah, it's one of my
favorites, it is great.
00:04:37.67\00:04:39.01
I've never heard
of that. Me either.
00:04:39.04\00:04:42.18
So we better add a little
bit of honey to sweetened up,
00:04:42.21\00:04:44.51
just a touch, just a teaspoon.
00:04:44.55\00:04:47.75
Is that to make the cheese?
00:04:47.78\00:04:49.45
Yup, this is to make the cheese.
00:04:49.48\00:04:50.82
So just double
check my recipes here
00:04:50.85\00:04:52.79
and that's pretty much it,
00:04:52.82\00:04:54.66
so all we need
now is the pumpkin.
00:04:54.69\00:04:56.66
Everything smells delicious.
00:04:56.69\00:04:58.86
So can honey substitute
sugar in a lot of stuff?
00:04:58.89\00:05:01.90
Yeah, so lot of people
use sugar in their cooking
00:05:01.93\00:05:03.93
and especially stuff
you buy at the supermarket
00:05:03.97\00:05:05.43
is just loaded with sugar.
00:05:05.47\00:05:08.10
So that's like,
not just little bits,
00:05:08.14\00:05:10.34
it's like huge
amounts, like you drink a soda,
00:05:10.37\00:05:12.47
there's like
seven or eight teaspoons
00:05:12.51\00:05:14.68
of something in the soda,
00:05:14.71\00:05:16.04
it's like huge,
huge, huge amounts.
00:05:16.08\00:05:17.58
And all my cooking, we
use little bit of sweetener
00:05:17.61\00:05:20.05
and the one stuff
I do use rather using
00:05:20.08\00:05:21.78
processed white sugar,
00:05:21.82\00:05:23.42
I use things like
honey that we're using today.
00:05:23.45\00:05:25.89
You can make a date puree
up, mixing up dates with water,
00:05:25.92\00:05:28.69
agave, maple syrup, some
really healthy sweeteners.
00:05:28.72\00:05:32.09
That's good. Really maple syrup?
00:05:32.13\00:05:33.80
Maple syrup is
really good sweetener.
00:05:33.83\00:05:36.06
So this is looking
like it's getting soft now.
00:05:36.10\00:05:37.67
So if you just give me
those, it's a hot handle here.
00:05:37.70\00:05:40.60
So I'm just gonna
drain this in the sink.
00:05:40.64\00:05:43.77
I'm just gonna drain it,
just put on the side like that.
00:05:43.81\00:05:47.88
Lost one and that's okay.
00:05:47.91\00:05:49.74
And what we're gonna
do is pour this butternut
00:05:49.78\00:05:52.28
into the blender like this.
00:05:52.31\00:05:55.32
So we want
about... Can I taste one?
00:05:55.35\00:05:57.82
Two cups, that'll be really hot.
00:05:57.85\00:06:00.66
You can though,
it's much more nicer now.
00:06:00.69\00:06:02.42
That's right. Into there.
00:06:02.46\00:06:03.79
And, Lachlan, if
you can put the blender
00:06:03.83\00:06:07.00
on to this base and
give it a whiz around.
00:06:07.03\00:06:09.96
Yup, you can try
this if you like.
00:06:10.00\00:06:11.33
This is just cooked butternut.
00:06:11.37\00:06:13.17
Pumpkin or butternut squash.
00:06:13.20\00:06:16.50
Well, it's hot, it's
hot. Don't burn your tongue.
00:06:16.54\00:06:19.91
What's it like? It's good.
00:06:19.94\00:06:21.78
There's no
flavoring on it, but it's yes,
00:06:21.81\00:06:23.14
much nicer like that.
00:06:23.18\00:06:24.51
So give it a well
round, yup, go for it.
00:06:24.55\00:06:25.98
It's looking pretty
good, stop the blender.
00:06:32.39\00:06:34.56
Look at that lovely
sauce there, look at that.
00:06:34.59\00:06:36.73
Isn't that just
delicious? Looks great.
00:06:36.76\00:06:38.09
Steaming. Great.
00:06:38.13\00:06:39.46
Awesome, so we're gonna
throw those macaroni cheese.
00:06:39.49\00:06:41.36
So, Sophia, if you can just chop
00:06:41.40\00:06:42.73
some cherry tomatoes in half?
00:06:42.76\00:06:44.10
Landscape? Yup.
00:06:44.13\00:06:45.47
So just grab them
and just slice it,
00:06:45.50\00:06:47.44
bring your finger
like that and just,
00:06:47.47\00:06:49.77
put them on the board there.
00:06:49.80\00:06:51.14
It will be great
and I'm just going
00:06:51.17\00:06:52.91
to drain this in the sink.
00:06:52.94\00:06:55.21
We got the pastas all
ready to go through a colander.
00:06:55.24\00:06:59.65
So you want to
cook so it's s firm.
00:06:59.68\00:07:01.52
So get all the water out.
00:07:03.02\00:07:06.72
You don't water in
'cause this basically gonna
00:07:06.76\00:07:08.12
make everything go runny.
00:07:08.16\00:07:09.99
And what we do then is just
add this beautiful pasta sauce,
00:07:11.56\00:07:14.96
turn the gas off,
this butternut sauce here.
00:07:15.00\00:07:19.73
Can you give that bit
a stir around, Lachlan?
00:07:19.77\00:07:21.17
Yeah. Looks great.
00:07:21.20\00:07:22.90
There you go. Looks
amazing, doesn't it?
00:07:22.94\00:07:24.57
Isn't that great
healthy sauce? So it's great.
00:07:24.61\00:07:27.94
So, Lily, if you
can go to the freezer
00:07:27.98\00:07:29.31
and get me some frozen bananas,
top left and some cherries?
00:07:29.34\00:07:32.35
We're gonna make this ice cream.
00:07:32.38\00:07:33.72
This is a great
way to make ice cream
00:07:33.75\00:07:35.08
with the frozen bananas.
00:07:35.12\00:07:36.45
Ice cream! Shall I
just get one container?
00:07:36.48\00:07:37.82
Yeah, one
container is fine. Okay
00:07:37.85\00:07:39.19
And if you can get the
black cherries as well,
00:07:39.22\00:07:40.56
there should be
some black cherries.
00:07:40.59\00:07:41.99
This is about
three small bananas
00:07:42.02\00:07:43.99
into the food processor.
00:07:44.03\00:07:45.79
Looks delicious.
It's gonna be great.
00:07:45.83\00:07:48.30
And we're gonna add some honey
00:07:48.33\00:07:49.80
or you can use any
sweetener of your choice.
00:07:49.83\00:07:51.83
Put a tablespoon,
that's right, dark cherries.
00:07:51.87\00:07:55.37
Are they frozen?
We put them in here.
00:07:55.40\00:07:56.74
And then we're gonna
blend them round and round.
00:07:56.77\00:07:58.97
Put about two cups,
they're frozen cherries
00:07:59.01\00:08:01.34
and this will become
ice cream in no time at all.
00:08:01.38\00:08:04.75
So start the food processor.
00:08:04.78\00:08:07.38
Look at that turn around.
00:08:07.42\00:08:10.09
So after while it gets
nice and smooth like that,
00:08:10.12\00:08:12.02
look at that.
00:08:12.05\00:08:13.39
We're just gonna pour
in some macadamia nuts
00:08:13.42\00:08:14.92
and just mix it
through a little bit,
00:08:14.96\00:08:17.46
we don't need to blend
up so it's nice and crunchy.
00:08:17.49\00:08:20.20
And that lovely crunchiness,
look at that beautiful
00:08:20.23\00:08:22.86
ice cream texture,
isn't that amazing?
00:08:22.90\00:08:24.63
So creamy, I'm gonna dive in.
00:08:24.67\00:08:27.87
So we're gonna pour this
macaroni cheese into the bowl
00:08:27.90\00:08:31.47
that we've got here
like that, look at that.
00:08:31.51\00:08:36.04
It is a really
lovely macaroni cheese.
00:08:36.08\00:08:38.81
We're gonna sprinkle
on some of these tomatoes
00:08:38.85\00:08:41.08
you've just chopped,
00:08:41.12\00:08:42.45
just coming to give
a bit of decoration.
00:08:42.48\00:08:44.99
I'm gonna pour
some olives as well
00:08:45.02\00:08:47.19
and we'll garnish
it with some cilantro
00:08:47.22\00:08:49.32
and this is an
amazing macaroni cheese bowl
00:08:49.36\00:08:51.76
you guys are going to love.
00:08:51.79\00:08:53.76
