[lively music playing]
3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,520
[Nadiya] Think you're too busy
for a treat? Think again.
4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,200
My easy-peasy sweets
are rustled up in a flash.
5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:23,640
[Nadiya] This is easy,
6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:24,800
but it feels really special.
7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,960
A simple baklava
8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,360
brings sunshine
9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,560
to your day.
10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,880
Look at that tower
of sticky deliciousness.
11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,520
My effortless spin
12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,120
on a feel-good classic.
13
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:35,360
We're making cookies!
14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,640
We're making cookies!
15
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,480
And my breezy birthday cake
16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,760
helps a busy new dad
17
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,000
treat his partner.
18
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,560
Nathan did fess up and say
he doesn't feel he pulls his weight
19
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,680
around the house very much.
20
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:46,320
[laughs]
21
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,120
-And I trusted you, Nad.
-[laughs]
22
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,600
[bee buzzes]
23
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,760
[Nadiya] First up,
a playful little pick-me-up
24
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,160
that always puts a spring in my step.
25
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,040
Sometimes,
we all need an instant sugar hit,
26
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,040
and for that, I've got just the thing.
27
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,160
Crispy, sweet, easy, and so much fun.
28
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,400
My simple strawberry milkshake
funnel cakes
29
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,360
are so much quicker than doughnuts,
30
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,200
but bring all the fun of the fair
in one blissfully nostalgic bite.
31
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,080
They are nowhere near
as much work as doughnuts.
32
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,240
If you're making a doughnut,
you've got to…
33
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:26,280
knead the dough, prove the dough,
shape the dough, all of that.
34
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,200
But this? Easy-peasy.
35
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,720
First, the speedy batter.
36
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,040
So, I've got 300 grams
37
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,440
of self-raising flour,
38
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,800
and then two tablespoons
39
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,120
of icing sugar.
40
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,200
And this will just make it
41
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,240
a little bit sweet.
42
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Two teaspoons of baking powder.
43
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,600
And this is gonna make it
44
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,320
really light and fluffy.
45
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,720
-[upbeat music playing]
-Add 275 mils of milk
46
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,920
and two eggs.
47
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,800
So, give that a good whisk
48
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,160
till you've got what looks like
49
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,720
a thick pancake batter.
50
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,160
That's it, look.
51
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,760
Smooth, shiny,
52
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,240
glossy, drippy,
53
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,200
which is important
in making our funnel cake.
54
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,240
The easiest batter, done.
55
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,440
If you're really short on time,
whip it up the night before.
56
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,520
So this is where
the funnel comes in.
57
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,880
So I'm using my piping bag as my funnel.
58
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,840
I've just popped it into a glass.
Just makes it easier for me to…
59
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:15,400
pour one-handed.
60
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,400
I'm just gonna seal the top.
61
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,080
See, that's pretty straightforward.
Made the batter, in a bag, ready to fry.
62
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,560
And that's pretty simple.
Minutes, if that.
63
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:26,920
Saving a good two hours
64
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,080
-on traditional doughnuts.
-[cheery music playing]
65
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,000
I've got a pan half full with hot oil,
66
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,560
and we're ready to go.
67
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:34,800
This is the fun bit.
I love doing this bit. Okay.
68
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,840
Ready?
69
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,320
The trick is for every bit
to kind of touch.
70
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,280
[chuckles]
71
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,520
And look, look, look.
It should come flying to the top.
72
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,800
Pop!
73
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,240
And then go again.
74
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,360
These literally
75
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,600
only take one minute
on each side.
76
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,200
Just look at how quick and easy that is.
77
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,280
I don't know that you can
78
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,080
make them as fast as you can eat them.
79
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,160
Seeing these sizzle
80
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,280
is just so satisfying.
81
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,560
I love baking a cake,
82
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:06,040
but, somehow, you know, deep-frying batter
[laughs] is so much better.
83
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,000
I can't help it, I get a little bit giddy.
84
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,360
Now, the easiest topping ever,
85
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,080
guaranteed to bring out the kid in us all.
86
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,440
[gasps] Strawberry milkshake. [laughs]
87
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,080
It's instant flavor.
88
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,600
Strawberry milkshake powder
89
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,920
has got that really distinct
strawberry milkshake flavor
90
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,200
that you can't get out of sugar,
and you can't make it.
91
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,480
This is the best bit.
92
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,600
And at this point,
93
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,680
more is more.
94
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,800
If you think it's too much,
it's probably not enough.
95
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,080
As soon as they come out of the hot oil,
96
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,760
you've got to dust them straight away.
I don't even know why I'm talking to you.
97
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,240
I'm so mesmerized right now by the smell.
I love this smell, it's my favorite smell.
98
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,360
I dare you not to smile doing this.
99
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160
The other side needs some love too.
100
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,880
That smell! Oh, my goodness.
101
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,920
If you suck the air… [sucks in air]
102
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,560
...it's strawberry milkshake flavored.
103
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,120
My pretty pink funnel cakes
are as fun to make as they are to eat,
104
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,000
and bring a joyful end
to even the most hectic day.
105
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Look at that.
106
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,680
That makes me smile.
107
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,000
Fluffy, warm, delicious.
108
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,320
[muffled] And it tastes like
strawberry milkshake.
109
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:22,680
No matter how many times I make this,
110
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,280
every time I take that first bite,
111
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,720
I feel like a little
six-year-old girl again.
112
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,600
Now, get in the kitchen and make them.
113
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:33,680
[laughs]
114

-[lively music playing]
-[birds chirping]
115
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,400
Working long, unsociable hours
can make pulling your weight at home hard,
116
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,000
especially if you're clueless
117
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,000
in the kitchen.
118
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,640
Nathan, in Liverpool,
is a theater director,
119
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,720
runs youth groups and works in schools,
which means busy days and nights.
120
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,960
But the arrival of baby Zadie
121
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,160
means he's now desperate
to do more at home,
122
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,760
starting with a treat
123
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,080
for his partner, Lucy.
124
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,680
Today I'm helping a new dad
bake his first ever birthday cake.
125
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,040
But with so many things to juggle,
it has to be really easy.
126
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,080
-[doorbell rings]
-And I've got just the recipe.
127
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,000
-[Nathan] Hi, Nadiya!
-Hello!
128
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,360
[Nathan] Nice to meet ya.
129
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,760
So, Nathan, you're a busy guy.
130
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:15,880
Yeah, it's all kicked off.
131
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,600
-[laughs]
-Yeah. Work's busy, babies are busy.
132
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,520
When you're at work,
who does the cooking?
133
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,560
My partner, Lucy.
134
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,680
Is it important for you
135
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,960
-to do more?
-Yeah.
136
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,120
It's quite easy to slip into a routine
137
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,560
of getting used
to your partner doing loads.
138
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,400
And almost, sometimes, like,
forgetting how much it is that they do.
139
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,560
-Do you feel you're slipping into that?
-I think so.
140
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,960
It feels important
that I can offer her something special.
141
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,520
At least let her realize
142
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,280
how much all of that stuff
that she does
143
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,960
is appreciated. And it's her birthday.
144
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,400
-Cake is a good place to start.
-It is a good place to start.
145
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,280
I don't do any baking. I'd like to bake,
146
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,240
so it'd be really nice
147
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,000
for her to come home, have a surprise.
148
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,400
[upbeat music playing]
149
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,800
[Nadiya] My rich and zesty
chocolate lime roll
150
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,120
is so easy and quick to bake,
151
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,720
it's a piece of cake to whip up
on even the busiest days.
152
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,800
When you think cake,
what are your thoughts?
153
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,400
Mess, stress.
154
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,600
People pretending it tastes nice
155
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,120
-when it doesn't.
-[laughs]
156
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,840
Well, we are going to fix
157
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,480
-all of those problems today…
-Good.
158
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,560
…'cause we're starting
159
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,640
really, really simple.
160
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,040
This fast fatless sponge
161
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,920
uses just four ingredients.
162
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,360
First, eggs.
163
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,960
-That's some harsh smashing of eggs.
-[laughing]
164
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,400
-Is that good egg cracking?
-Oh, my goodness me.
165
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,440
-Hundred grams of caster sugar.
-Caster sugar.
166
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,760
-[whirring]
-Whoa! There you go.
167
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:29,080
The trick is to get the beaters in,
and then turn it on.
168
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,880
-[Nathan] Right, okay.
-[laughs, puffs air]
169
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,200
-I'm starting from the beginning here.
-You really are!
170
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:35,160
There's no raising agents.
171
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,200
So we're not adding
any self-raising flour,
172
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:38,680
we're not adding any baking powder.
173
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,200
All of our lightness and airy sponge
174
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:42,560
is gonna come from all the air
175
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,000
that you incorporate in here.
176
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,040
Honestly, this is the easiest sponge ever
in the whole wide world.
177
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,840
[Nadiya] Simply whisk until the mixture
has tripled in size.
178
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,760
That's ready.
179
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:52,720
Then, add 75 grams
180
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,520
of both plain flour and cocoa powder.
181
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,080
[Nadiya] This is the point
where you gotta be a bit delicate.
182
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,120
Gently kind of go round
183
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,080
and fold over.
184
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,280
It's little things like this
that I'd never think about.
185
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,600
That's all really useful tips.
186
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,080
I would've just come in
and just started beating it.
187
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,200
This will be your thing.
188
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:08,760
-[Nathan] Yeah.
-Pour that straight in.
189
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:09,920
Can you see how airy it is?
190
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,520
-It's almost like mousse-like under there.
-[Nathan] Yeah.
191
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,920
-Let's get that in the oven.
-Okay.
192
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,560
[Nadiya] That's at 180,
and that is literally gonna take,
193
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,800
-at most, ten minutes. No more than that.
-Cool.
194
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,120
-Is that not the quickest cake?
-That is the quickest cake.
195
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,880
-[upbeat music playing]
-Next, a rich, luxurious chocolate ganache
196
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,280
that's a two-in-one shortcut
197
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,880
to topping and filling.
198
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,480
[Nadiya] So, we're melting
199
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,040
the chocolate in a bain-marie,
200
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,000
which is a saucepan
201
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,040
with some water with a bowl on top.
202
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,680
But you've gotta make sure your bowl
203
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,520
isn't touching
any of the water underneath,
204
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,000
-otherwise it'll scorch your chocolate.
-Okay. That's what scares me about baking,
205
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,000
'cause it feels like it has to be
really precise.
206
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,120
For the most part,
207
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,160
-if you muck it up, you can eat it.
-[chuckles]
208
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,440
-That's good to know.
-[Nadiya] I'm gonna get 100 mils
209
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,400
of boiling water.
210
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,920
What this is gonna do is create
211
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,560
that lovely truffly texture.
212
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,680
-[Nathan] Okay.
-So, straight in. Yeah, look at that.
213
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:56,960
How thick
214
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,000
and fudgy and just…
215
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,120
-scrumptious does that look?
-Lovely.
216
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,160
-[cheery music playing]
-Ganache done in minutes.
217
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,120
-[Nathan] Yeah?
-Yeah, that's about right.
218
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,160
Set aside half of the topping,
219
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,720
and transform the rest
220
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,120
into indulgent filling
221
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,080
with just one extra ingredient.
222
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,000
-[Nadiya] Cream cheese. Always full fat.
-Okay.
223
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,880
'Cause you want a lovely, creamy, rich…
224
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,160
-Yeah.
-…filling.
225
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,920
The fact that we've just made one ganache
226
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,600
and used it two different ways,
227
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,200
that's all a part of the kind of, like,
228
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,360
-saving a little bit of time.
-It's impressive.
229
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,080
We know that we've got a filling,
we've got a topping. Easy-peasy.
230
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Filling done.
231
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,240
Now, take a large piece of baking paper
and sprinkle with sugar.
232
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,320
Time to get that sponge out.
233
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,120
You need to kind of turn it out
234
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,240
-and tip it out onto there.
-[pan clanks]
235
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,240
Oh, my... Yeah.
236
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,400
[laughs] I've got it.
237
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,920
To create the shape,
just roll up while it's warm and pliable.
238
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:43,840
Easy.
239
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,000
-Just there?
-That's it.
240
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,640
-That's your cake done.
-This is fast.
241
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,000
-Feeling slight...
-I feel good.
242
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,120
-You feel confident?
-Yeah.
243
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,800
Once cooled, simply unroll,
244
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,760
and we're onto a super-fast filling.
245
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,680
[Nadiya] We're gonna add
that lovely lime zesty flavor.
246
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,600
Chocolate and citrusy fruit
work really well together.
247
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,040
And lime marmalade
packs an instant flavor punch.
248
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,080
Just go all over.
249
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,400
I can smell it. It smells good.
250
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,120
-[Nadiya] Come on.
-All right.
251
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,120
Somebody's gonna say, “Where's the lime?”
252
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,640
-It'll be that piece there.
-[laughs]
253
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:14,320
Finish with the zest of a lime.
254
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,480
[Nathan] I never spend time
doing things like this.
255
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:18,040
It's nice to take that moment of pause
256
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,600
and just relax. And, like, take time
257
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:22,080
-on all the little details.
-Yeah!
258
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,200
And this is special for you,
'cause this is for Lucy.
259
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,280
This is for Lucy.
260
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,480
It is hard to find time,
261
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,840
so this is a nice way
to force myself to find time.
262
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,960
-You know you're desperate if you call me.
-[laughs]
263
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,320
"Nadiya, please." [laughs] "Please!"
264
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,440
"I need some help."
265
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,480
[both laugh]
266
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:37,840
Cover the sponge
with that creamy filling...
267
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,800
[Nadiya] There you go.
268
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,600
-…and roll.
-[Nathan] Ooh...
269
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:41,640
Cooking on gas.
270
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,600
-You did it. You did that, look.
-Ta-da!
271
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:44,760
And it looks delicious.
272
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,120
Then simply smother
273
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,200
with that shiny ganache.
274
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,760
[Nadiya] So now for the finishing touch.
We've got these.
275
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,240
-Lovely.
-Have fun.
276
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,640
Have fun. Just sprinkle all over.
277
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,840
Imagine, in a couple of years' time,
with Zadie,
278
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,360
just… decorating
279
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,080
and having lots of fun with sprinkles.
280
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,320
-[Nathan] Yes. Oh, beautiful mess.
-Now, come on.
281
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,640
-Yeah.
-That's not bad for your…
282
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,680
[Nathan] I'm very happy.
283
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,440
-...for your first cake.
-Yes.
284
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,840
I think she'll be very shocked.
285
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,040
I don't think she'll believe
that I've actually done it.
286
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,280
[upbeat music playing]
287
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,880
I really hope this simple bake
288
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,000
goes some way to showing Lucy
289
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,080
just how much Nathan appreciates her.
290
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,680
-Hello!
-[Nadiya] Hello!
291
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,160
Happy birthday!
292
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,240
-This is Zadie?
-[Nathan] Do you want to say hello?
293
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,480
[Nadiya] Hello!
294
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,080
Hi! Aww,
295
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,600
-she smiled for me!
-[laughs]
296
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:27,520
Happy birthday.
297
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,040
-[Nadiya] Guess what we've been doing.
-You've been baking.
298
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,480
-We have.
-With this guy?
299
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:33,200
He's been baking. He has done that.
300
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,400
-[Lucy] Well done.
-[Nathan] Thank you very much.
301
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,320
Make a wish.
302
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,320
[all cheering and applauding]
303
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,720
-Happy birthday, Mommy!
-[Nathan] Yay!
304
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,520
[both] Cheers.
305
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,120
-[Nadiya] Yeah.
-[Lucy] Mm.
306
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:48,520
[Lucy] Very impressed.
307
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,720
It's delicious.
I can't believe you made it.
308
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,480
-Thanks.
-It's so nice.
309
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:53,600
Nathan did fess up and say
310
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,160
he doesn't feel he pulls his weight
round the house very much.
311
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,400
[laughs]
312
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,280
-Yeah, sorry. Sorry.
-[Lucy] Yes.
313
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,240
-He finally admits it.
-Sorry, we're always gonna be on one side.
314
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,040
-I trusted you, Nad.
-[laughs]
315
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,240
Armed with the right recipe,
finding the time to make someone special
316
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,200
a sweet treat is easy.
317
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,240
Yeah, Daddy's gonna bake
your first birthday cake!
318
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,960
-[Nathan laughs]
-Yay!
319
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,920
And a month on,
320
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,200
Nathan's still putting a smile
on Lucy's face.
321
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:22,520
[Nathan] Hey, Nadiya!
322
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,560
Just a message to say a big thank you
323
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,360
for coming and baking with us.
324
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,560
It's had a real lasting impact on us
and I'm doing loads more in the kitchen.
325
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,080
Just feeling way more confident,
so it's been really brilliant.
326
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,200
So just a big massive thank you.
327
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,760
When life's full-on,
328
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,360
I find creating something spectacular
329
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,360
good for the soul, especially if I know
it doesn't have to take all day.
330
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,040
I love baklava.
331
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,440
Super sweet and sticky,
332
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,000
these Turkish treats
are one of my favorites to eat.
333
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,680
[lively music playing]
334
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:00,720
Inspired by a family holiday in Turkey,
335
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,520
my simple golden syrup-soaked baklava
336
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,080
will bring the scrumptious taste of summer
to any day of the week.
337
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:11,560
The first time I ever made baklava,
I thought, “Oh, that looks tricky.”
338
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,160
But you'll be surprised
how easy they are to make.
339
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,520
First, the fastest filling ever.
340
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,080
Start with mixed nuts.
341
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,160
And they're crushed, like, quite fine.
342
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,560
I think it's really nice to have
343
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,040
a good mixed bag.
344
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,240
And then you get a really nice texture.
345
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,800
Buying ready-crushed
346
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,800
saves you time.
347
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,200
Traditionally, baklava's made with honey.
348
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,480
I'm making it extra sticky, extra sweet,
349
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:35,080
'cause I'm using golden syrup.
350
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:37,960
Look at that.
351
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,880
I love this stuff,
because it's the stickiest
352
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,600
of all things sticky
353
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,080
in the whole wide world,
354
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,040
and nothing is gonna give you that flavor.
355
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,240
It's so sweet,
356
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,600
and it's also, like, caramelly.
357
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:53,760
It's like toffee.
358
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,480
Mm. Yum.
359
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:56,600
Ooh, that's so nice.
360
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,840
And the easy, instant ingredients
don't stop there.
361
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:02,000
Two tablespoons of cocoa powder,
362
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,560
salt, and the zest of an orange.
363
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,680
Maximum flavor in under a minute.
364
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:09,080
Give that a good mix.
365
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,000
That is it, that's the filling done.
366
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,320
It is as simple as that.
367
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,880
And we're already onto the filo pastry.
368
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,280
And guess what?
369
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,800
I'm not gonna make it. [laughs]
370
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,640
Because nobody makes filo pastry.
371
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,880
[soulful music plays]
372
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,040
Simple trim the pastry to fit your tin.
373
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,120
When we went to Turkey, there were,
374
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,560
honestly, hundreds of variations
375
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,520
on baklava.
376
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,320
But this is the simplest
377
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,400
of its kind.
378
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,960
One layer of pastry, that's one packet,
379
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,360
and then a thick layer
of that nut, and orange, and cocoa.
380
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,080
And then, another layer of pastry,
which is another packet, so easy-peasy.
381
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,200
And we don't ever think for a second
382
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,120
that is gonna go in the bin,
because it isn't. It's perfectly good.
383
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,120
You could do, like,
crispy topped pies with these,
384
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,600
so don't throw it away,
put it right back in the freezer.
385
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,360
So, that's my two piles of pastry done.
386
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,440
Take half the sheets
to start your bottom layer.
387
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,880
First piece.
388
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,720
Brush it with butter.
389
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,840
Filo pastry loves butter.
390
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,280
Without it, it's just dry.
391
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,800
It'll cook in the butter,
and it'll puff up just slightly
392
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,760
and get those lovely crisp layers.
393
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,600
Repeat with each sheet.
394
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,840
I mean, this is easy,
but it feels really special.
395
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,520
Somebody turns up,
396
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,240
cup of tea, baklava. Happy days.
397
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,960
Just pack down your filling,
and we're onto the last layer.
398
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,360
I enjoy doing this,
it is quite therapeutic.
399
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,760
It's just easy.
400
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,760
The same thing,
401
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,840
one after the other. Wonderful.
402
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,120
And in no time at all,
that baklava's built.
403
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,680
You've got to cut it right now.
404
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,560
Like, if you try and cut it
405
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:37,840
after it's baked,
406
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,800
you're gonna get filo pastry
flying everywhere.
407
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,640
A little goes a long way,
408
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,600
so you can enjoy
that feel-good feeling for days.
409
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,040
So, I've got my oven preheated to 160,
410
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,480
and that goes straight in.
411
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,280
Now, this is where the magic happens.
412
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,520
Onto the sticky,
413
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,880
sweet...
414
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:55,640
fragrant syrup.
415
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,760
Without this, it's not baklava.
416
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,800
Add 250 grams of caster sugar
417
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:01,920
into a pan
418
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,200
with the juice of that orange.
419
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,640
So now our lovely golden syrup.
420
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,560
In we go.
421
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,040
And this is gonna give it
that instant flavor
422
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,600
that you can only get from golden syrup.
423
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,200
Then bash up four cardamom pods.
424
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,040
See those lovely black seeds?
425
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,120
That's what we want.
426
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,680
I'm gonna get rid
of all these horrible leathery husks.
427
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,800
Really smash it around…
428
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,040
till you've got a fine powder.
429
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,000
Orange and cardamom
just work really well together.
430
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,560
That is gonna pack a punch.
431
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,160
Finally, a great fast track
to zesty, floral flavor:
432
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,760
orange blossom water.
433
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,920
Turn that heat on.
434
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,560
Melt the sugar
435
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:40,520
and bring to the boil.
436
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,760
It is quite mesmerizing, though,
437
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,240
just to watch those bubbles.
438
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,160
-Simmer for just ten minutes.
-[cheery music plays]
439
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,240
[pastry sizzling]
440
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,040
Oh, that smells so good!
441
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,680
Oh, butter and pastry. [exhales]
442
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,000
So, let's get this syrup.
443
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,760
Go all over.
444
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,880
Give each square a little bit of love.
445
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,680
And then it's going to just kinda,
like, run through all the layers
446
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,680
and go all the way down to the bottom.
447
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,440
Can you see how that's gone from
448
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,480
pastry and nuts to actual baklava?
449
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,400
How simple and easy is that?
450
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,640
My crisp, flaky baklava,
451
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,560
smothered in sweet fragrant syrup
452
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,320
is utterly irresistible...
453
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,360
and will whisk you away
to a happy place with no trouble at all.
454
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,520
Look at that tower
of sticky deliciousness.
455
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:30,800
Oh, I can't wait to get in.
456
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,280
When I was in Turkey,
457
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,080
everybody was eating it with spoonfuls…
458
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,160
of delicious clotted cream.
459
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,280
-And it's like a Turkish afternoon tea.
-[birds chirping]
460
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,360
And there's only one way to eat baklava:
461
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,440
it's to commit.
462
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,800
-[baklava crunching]
-[laughs]
463
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,200
You can taste every brushstroke of butter.
464
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,840
Crisp, filo, buttery pastry,
465
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,080
and then the mixed nuts.
466
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,400
Best of all…
467
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,240
is that sticky sweet syrup.
468
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,960
[soulful music playing]
469
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,800
Whether I'm baking or marinading,
470
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,160
golden syrup is one
of my all-time favorite shortcuts,
471
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,880
so I'm off to see how it's made
472
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,760
at the world's oldest syrup factory
in East London.
473
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,080
Tate and Lyle have been producing
their iconic golden syrup
474
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,520
in the same place here on the docks
of the River Thames since 1883,
475
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,840
and I can't wait to find out
how they do it.
476
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,880
This historic site produces 22,000 tonnes
of golden syrup every year.
477
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,640
That's 80% of global demand.
478
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,000
And dock manager Bob Woods
has agreed to let me on board for the day.
479
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,160
-Hi, Nadiya.
-How are you?
480
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,160
I'm good, thank you.
481
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,720
I'd love to learn
about how you make golden syrup.
482
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,640
So, it all starts here.
This is where the raw sugar comes in.
483
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,160
-Can we go have a look?
-Yeah, we can.
484
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,640
We'll go up the crane,
so long as you're not scared of heights.
485
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,640
-I might be after today. [laughs]
-[laughs]
486
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,400
Oh, I can't wait. I'm really excited.
487
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,960
Thames refinery
can process 1.1 million tonnes
488
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,400
of raw cane sugar a year,
489
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,880
with shipments arriving
from all over the world.
490
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,520
This one's from Belize, and to see it,
491
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,080
I need a bird's eye view.
492
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,920
[Nadiya] Okay, we're suddenly
very high up.
493
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:05,600
And we're going higher still!
494
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:07,760
-Do you like stairs, Bob?
-Yeah.
495
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,120
-No lift.
-[Nadiya] No lift.
496
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,800
That's enormous!
497
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,160
From here, it looks like sand.
498
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,240
Hopefully not. Hopefully, it's raw sugar.
499
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,320
I can't even fathom
how much sugar that is.
500
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,520
This vessel came
with 20,000 tonnes of raw sugar.
501
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,360
-Twenty thousand tonnes?
-Twenty thousand tonnes.
502
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,280
Of sugar.
503
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,880
How many bags of sugar?
504
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,560
Around about 20 million...
505
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,080
one kilo bags of sugar.
506
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,880
Who needs 20 million bags
of sugar? [laughs]
507
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,680
-Obviously, we do.
-Clearly, we do.
508
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:37,680
Yeah, you certainly do.
509
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,800
All you bakers.
510
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,960
This raw sugar will go on
511
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,000
to make over 600 different products,
512
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,040
from little sachets of white sugar
to our golden syrup.
513
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,800
In my kitchen, there's this tiny tin
514
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,880
of golden syrup,
and I don't think for a second
515
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,360
how it got there.
516
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,320
-But it all starts...
-[Bob] All starts from here.
517
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,880
First job, shifting it off the boat.
518
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,960
It takes 60 hours of intense training
to operate this 25-tonne crane.
519
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,520
-[Bob] You're the main man now.
-Oh, no!
520
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,080
The closest I've been to doing this
is playing with my boys' dumper trucks.
521
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,800
[Bob laughs] Lower that down that way.
522
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,160
-I am sweating profusely.
-[laughing]
523
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,760
-We're in! We're in!
-[Bob] If you pull that handle towards me,
524
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,680
that's it.
525
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,320
This work is so full-on
526
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,800
there's a shift change every two hours.
527
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,120
I mean, this sugar traveled a long way
to get here.
528
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,320
I'm slightly under pressure.
529
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,640
I don't wanna drop it all back
into the Thames.
530
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,520
-[Bob] You can feel how intense it is.
-Yeah.
531
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,320
-I'm sweating meself. [laughs]
-Yeah, I bet you are.
532
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,200
[Bob] Keep going all the way up,
until it goes…boof!
533
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,960
-That's it. That's it.
-All the way? [yelps]
534
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,760
-Is that enough?
-[Bob] That'll do you there.
535
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,880
That's fine, stop there.
536
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,680
-So, open it is towards the river.
-That way.
537
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,160
Okay, so wait till it swings back.
538
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:50,200
Oh, it's happening! It's happening!
539
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,800
-There's your first grab of sugar.
-Yeah!
540
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,200
That was so cool!
541
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,240
You've done really well.
542
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,600
-We'll have you up here as a crane driver.
-[laughs] You go and have a cup of tea,
543
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,600
-I'll be fine.
-[laughs]
544
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,160
-I'll go. That's it. [laughs]
-I'll just do the rest of this.
545
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,600
With 110 steps down,
the team take their tea breaks up here.
546
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,800
I've brought Bob some of my baklava,
547
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,360
which will keep nicely
in a lunch box all day.
548
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,680
You can't be craning all that sugar
and not wanna eat something sweet, right?
549
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,080
I know that it's a nut-free environment,
so I've taken the nuts out
550
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,640
and I've put things like figs
and dates, and some oatmeal.
551
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,080
So, yeah, have a go.
552
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,440
[pastry crunching]
553
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,400
-Mm.
-Mm. Oh, they're nice.
554
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,520
-Really syrupy, really lovely.
-Mm. Yum.
555
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,080
They're really good. Can I have the tin?
[laughs]
556
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,160
-That's yours.
-Thank you.
557
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,920
Once unloaded,
the raw sugar hits a conveyor belt
558
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,920
and makes its way into the refinery
for processing…
559
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,760
There's definitely a sugary smell
in the air.
560
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,840
-Yeah.
-And my feet are really sticky.
561
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,280
-[both laugh]
-[Bob] Welcome to the sugar world.
562
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,560
…overseen by John Kerr.
563
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,400
-That's our raw sugar shed.
-Oh, my goodness!
564
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,600
Wow! I was, um,
565
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,880
expecting… a lot of sugar,
566
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,120
but that is a lot of sugar.
567
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,640
[Bob] At the moment,
we've got about 60,000 tonnes in here.
568
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,080
[Nadiya] This extraordinary amount
569
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,480
is a mere 3% of the UK's annual demand.
570
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,080
[Bob] Like, you can grab a handful.
571
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,800
[Nadiya] Now, how do we go
from raw cane sugar...
572
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,440
-Yeah.
-…to golden syrup?
573
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,960
In a nutshell,
we take this lovely raw sugar…
574
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,880
-Yeah.
-…we wash it,
575
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,760
we end up with a by-product
of the crystallization process.
576
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,560
Hold on. So the syrup is like the bit
577
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,360
-that you could've chucked away?
-Yeah, it's made into golden syrup.
578
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,280
-Absolutely.
-That is so cool!
579
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,560
This by-product is packed
with the rich taste of cane sugar,
580
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,800
the base of that tangy syrup.
581
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,840
From the refinery, it's sent next door
582
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,560
to the golden syrup factory
where the final process
583
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,560
is carefully monitored by a team
584
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,720
known as The Goldies.
585
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,240
Paul McGilligan is one.
586
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,920
Oh, wow!
587
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,560
-[Paul] Yeah.
-It's like a motherboard!
588
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,080
We control the whole process in here
589
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,400
from start to finish.
590
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,440
You're aware of the by-product
591
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,080
-from the sugar.
-Yeah.
592
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,480
From that, we change it,
593
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,360
so the syrup will never go back
594
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,400
to being a sugar again.
595
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,080
You won't get no sugar crystals,
and it'll always stay as syrup,
596
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,160
unless you introduce, like, a dirty knife
into your can with butter on it,
597
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,920
and then it'll start
to grow sugar crystals
598
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,440
-around it again.
-Yes.
599
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,480
-But otherwise…
-Might have done that before.
600
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,040
With the help of a chemist,
601
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,520
Abram Lyle discovered that,
602
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,240
by using heat and light,
the sugar by-product
603
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,400
could be turned into a lovely silky syrup.
604
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,240
But the process that gives golden syrup
605
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,680
its distinctive flavor
606
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,800
is a closely guarded secret.
607
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,040
Who else knows how to make this syrup?
608
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:30,080
At the moment,
609
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,200
there's only seven of us.
610
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,000
-Just seven of you?
-Yes.
611
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,000
-At the moment.
-You can make it eight.
612
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,960
I'd love to be able to tell you about it.
613
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,120
I'm not allowed to.
614
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,120
We remove the color,
615
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,640
evaporate it, and...
616
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,680
here's the one that you're used to.
617
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,880
-There you go.
-See it?
618
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,760
-Oh, the bubble. [laughs]
-Yes, exactly.
619
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,360
It's like having your own toy.
620
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,720
It is. It's like having
a little lava lamp.
621
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,680
It is indeed.
622
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,600
It takes just eight hours
623
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,880
to turn raw sugar from the dock
624
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,800
into canned syrup in the factory,
625
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,400
where 40,000 tins
fly out the door every day.
626
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,400
Take a couple off.
627
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,160
-Ooh, it's still warm! [gasps]
-Yeah, it's still warm.
628
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,240
Some of this machinery
has remained the same for 70 years,
629
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,200
and the iconic branding
hasn't changed in over 130.
630
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:16,640
[Nadiya] There it is.
631
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,200
-That…
-Yeah, it's got a wonderful aroma to it.
632
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,880
-Like toffee.
-Yes.
633
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,320
Is there anything else in here
634
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,760
-apart from sugar?
-No, there's not.
635
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:24,720
Just sugar.
636
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,200
So, whatever it is that…
637
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,520
And how we change it is the magic bit,
which I can't...
638
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,440
[both laugh]
639
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:31,640
You're so smug.
640
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,880
-Well, keeps me employed.
-[both laugh]
641
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,720
After a long day,
642
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,760
cooking up a cheeky sweet treat
can really brighten my day,
643
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,080
but it has to be snappy,
644
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,520
so I've come up
with a super simple twist
645
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:45,440
on a classic.
646
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:46,680
We're making cookies!
647
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:47,840
We're making cookies!
648
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,880
But we're not even turning the oven on.
649
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,040
I can't tell you how excited
this recipe makes me.
650
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,320
My giant one-pan cookie
651
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,840
is deliciously gooey,
652
00:23:58,120 --> 00:23:59,720
the easiest you'll ever make,
653
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,280
and so much fun.
654
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,360
We are going to fry,
655
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,600
like, really slowly fry our cookie
656
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:10,280
in a frying pan.
657
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,040
I'm not even gonna turn the oven on.
658
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:13,960
The secret to making this
659
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:14,880
is being prepared.
660
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,800
For this foolproof dough,
661
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,680
grab one bowl for dry ingredients,
662
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:19,920
another for wet.
663
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,560
Got my egg.
Gonna crack that straight in there.
664
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,320
Almond extract.
665
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:28,320
And then, vanilla extract.
666
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,400
Give it a whisk,
667
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,920
and we're already onto the dry,
668
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:34,240
starting with 225 grams of plain flour.
669
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,720
Half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda.
670
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,680
And half a teaspoon of salt.
671
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,720
And then, we're kind of ready.
672
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,080
This is the bit that I love
about making these cookies,
673
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,280
because you get that instant warm cookie.
674
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:48,920
So, let's put that cooker on.
675
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,080
One hundred and fifty grams
of unsalted butter straight in.
676
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,960
And you wanna melt that butter down.
677
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,040
Have your smallest ring on a low heat.
678
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,720
Adding soft brown sugar just makes
for a chewier cookie dough.
679
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,320
It seems absolutely bonkers
to do it in a frying pan,
680
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,200
but it saves time.
681
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,520
Firstly, it's one big giant cookie,
682
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,560
and, you know, I'm not having to make up
a big cookie dough batter,
683
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,480
and then dividing it,
684
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,600
and then using a baking tray,
getting it in the oven.
685
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,120
All in one frying pan.
686
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,320
If I'm doing less washing-up,
I'm a happy girl.
687
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,560
Just add your dry ingredients
688
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,480
and simply bring together.
689
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,320
Look at that, that's already starting
to look like cookie dough.
690
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,560
All we've gotta do is add our egg,
691
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,720
but just be a little bit speedy
when you're doing this.
692
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,640
But can you see?
Can you see it happening?
693
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,800
Cookie dough in your frying pan.
694
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,320
The quickest cookie dough
you'll ever make, done.
695
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,920
And now, my instant chocolate chips.
696
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,720
Every single time,
697
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,000
it's these lovely, colorful,
698
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,720
chocolate sugar-coated pieces.
699
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,680
And I'm just gonna dot them around.
700
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:55,920
Look at that.
701
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,960
That is what every single cookie
702
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,880
in the whole wide world should look like.
703
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,360
This makes me so happy.
704
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,040
There's that point where you're like,
"Nadiya, stop.
705
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,680
Just stop.
706
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,560
There's no more space left
707
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:10,800
on the cookie."
708
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,720
But you keep going.
709
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,840
And there genuinely
is no more space left.
710
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:17,040
Stop.
711
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:18,000
Okay, put them down.
712
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,520
Right. So, stick that on a low heat,
713
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,680
and I'm gonna go about my business,
714
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,120
and there will be a fully cooked,
warm cookie
715
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,520
in 20 minutes.
716
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:29,880
You're welcome.
717
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,320
My speedy, scrummy,
718
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,480
colorful cookie.
719
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,120
Great fun whether you're big
720
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,360
or small.
721
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,120
Come and have a look
at what I've made you.
722
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,720
-[son 1] Ooh!
-Look!
723
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,400
-[son 1] Cookie!
-[Nadiya] Cookie!
724
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,360
Can I smell it?
725
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,600
It smells a bit chocolate and vanilla.
726
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,760
It's gonna be chewy.
727
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,840
-[Nadiya] Shall I cut it?
-[son 2] Like a pizza.
728
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,120
[Nadiya] Look at that, guys.
729
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,800
-It's a little bit magical, right?
-It's like a rainbow.
730
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,840
The word "cook"
has been put into "cookie."
731
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,560
That's what we did,
we put the cook into cookie.
732
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,960
It's just so gooey and nice in the middle.
733
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,360
Mommy, look at the chocolate.
It's melting.
734
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,080
You make, like, a giant cookie.
Can you get a massive pan…?
735
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,760
[son 2] Are you gonna get a wok
and make...
736
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,760
-Yeah, could you get a wok?
-We've got a pan that's, like, that big.
737
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,680
-We could fry it in that.
-And then make a massive one that big?
738
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:19,040
