1
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,880
OK, my Christmas elves,
the fillet is up.
2
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,200
That risotto's almost done.
Check the consistency.
3
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,640
Make sure you don't
forget the basil.
4
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,600
We've got two minutes on the
sea bass for table five.
5
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,920
Make sure someone
follows you with the sauce.
6
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,640
How's your meal? Very good.
Great. Thank you.
7
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,920
So, we have a slight...problem.
8
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,840
The waitress accidentally sold
the flambe to table nine,
9
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,720
and so, now we're out.
10
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,200
No big deal, but now the wife
wants something...off-menu.
11
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,600
That menu is perfect.
12
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,680
Every course complements
each other perfectly.
13
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,960
We can't do substitutions.
14
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:48,160
Oh, I-I know the menu is perfect.
15
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,040
But he's City Council...
16
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,440
..and the waitress promised
we could do something special.
17
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,960
Is there any way you could
whip something up?
18
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,880
I could do a tart with
a vanilla ganache, or...
19
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,320
..Napoleon with a hazelnut drizzle.
20
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,320
She wanted something
a little bit salty.
21
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,040
It won't go with her entree at all.
22
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,760
Erm...
23
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,840
I know - I'll do a pistachio crust
with some Himalayan sea salt
24
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,560
on chocolate-covered strawberries.
25
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,920
She'll love it. Mm! It'll just
take me a couple of minutes.
26
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:20,520
Thank you. Welcome. You got it.
27
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,200
You got it. YOU got it.
28
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,560
And remember,
great cooking isn't A to B.
29
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,240
You've got to find the M-A-G-I-C.
30
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,400
Each dish has to be extraordinary.
31
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,720
Risotto's up.
32
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,720
Mm...
33
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,960
THEY GIGGLE
34
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,440
You really outdid yourself
on the duck tonight.
35
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,560
Just great reviews
from a bunch of tables.
36
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,520
What? Er...
37
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,880
Well, er, it's just...
the amount of duck.
38
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,800
That got me thinking, erm,
we've been friends forever.
39
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,080
Which was why I was so excited
to open our place together.
40
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,400
And then, when Scarlett's was on
all of the Best Of lists
41
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,280
right away...
42
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,800
I know, it was unreal.
43
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,600
Absolutely incredible.
44
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,640
But...
45
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:11,600
..the new buzz has died down.
46
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,080
And the lines aren't around
the block any more.
47
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,960
Well, yeah, I mean, I know,
48
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,920
but Christmas is a
couple of weeks away,
49
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:19,760
we'll get our numbers back up after.
50
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,280
We always have a slump
around the holidays.
51
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,840
It has to do with what we serve.
52
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,520
Which doesn't change.
53
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,080
People love my menu.
54
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,600
Yeah, but people want simple
around the holidays, you know?
55
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,880
Hearty and comforting.
56
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,120
Christmas roasts, candied yams,
snickerdoodles.
57
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,520
Snickerdoodles? Yeah, meals with
spirit that make people wistful
58
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,760
and romantic about holidays.
59
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,400
We are losing clientele.
60
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,440
We have to cater to them.
61
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,600
OK, what do you suggest?
62
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,960
We need a holiday menu this year.
63
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,520
No.
64
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,360
No! Holiday menus bring
down quality.
65
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,080
They're too cutesy,
they're too simple.
66
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,000
We're going to keep our quality high
and we'll bounce back, I promise.
67
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,280
Well...I'm worried about Stetson.
68
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,560
What? Why? Stetson loves us.
69
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,120
I mean, he lets us do what we want.
70
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,560
That's the best thing about him,
he trusts our judgment.
71
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,360
Well, he's coming by tomorrow night
to check on everything. OK, great.
72
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,080
Yeah, he can't resist
my stuffed dates.
73
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,600
I'll make them for him.
74
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,440
It'll smooth things over
and reminds him why
75
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,480
we're a no-brainer investment.
76
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,560
I'll pick up
the ingredients on my way in.
77
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,520
PHONE CHIMES
78
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,280
SHE SNICKERS
79
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,200
Right...
80
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,440
No! Those potatoes? Yeah.
81
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,000
It's quite the Christmas weather
we're having, eh? Oh! Erm, hi.
82
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I-I think you have
the last potatoes...
83
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,800
Snow in New York City, nothing like
it. Any way we could split those?
84
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,560
You know, I-I could trade you
for something, or...
85
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,640
You know, I could buy them from you.
I'd even pay a little more.
86
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,680
HE CHUCKLES
87
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,600
What?
88
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,840
Scarlett Bridges,
as I live and breathe.
89
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:52,240
SHE GASPS
90
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,440
James...Guidry.
91
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,320
It's, erm, been a while.
92
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Yeah, years since Cordon Bleu.
93
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,000
Mm-hm.
94
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,880
Still as determined and persistent
as ever, I see.
95
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,760
First impression's a little strong.
96
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,000
And you're still taking
nothing seriously.
97
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,320
Pushing your buttons is very
serious business, Scarlett.
98
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,880
Are you still doing that saying?
What was it...
99
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,920
"The magic of cooking is
A plus B to the power three?"
100
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,960
It's actually, erm,
"Great cooking isn't A to B.
101
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,520
"Let's find the M-A-G...I-C."
102
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,080
It doesn't...matter. Right.
103
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,320
I like that one.
104
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,360
Listen, I'd really like to
help you out, but I need
105
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,360
these potatoes for a big dish.
106
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,600
It's fine.
107
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,400
How about you sing that song for me?
108
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,280
No. Come on, Professor Saunders
would be so proud.
109
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:42,160
Yeah, I-I hated that song.
110
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,040
And actually, I didn't need a song
to remind me the names of spices...
111
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,080
Just sing a little bit for me,
and I'll give you the potatoes.
112
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,240
Seriously? Mm-hm.
113
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,040
Here? Yeah.
114
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,400
SHE EXHALES
115
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,400
TO THE TUNE OF "GOOD KING WENCESLAS"
116
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,400
# Adobo, ahi, Aleppo
117
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,920
# Anise, basil, and bay
118
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,800
# Brown sugar is sweeter than... #
119
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,280
THEY CHUCKLE
120
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,320
You know what? I am done.
That's enough of that.
121
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,520
It was great,
and I was just kidding.
122
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,880
You can have the potatoes.
123
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,840
I'm just going to get
them somewhere else.
124
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,720
Scarlett, I was just messing around.
125
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,640
Please. Take the potatoes.
You don't even have to pay for them.
126
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,040
They're yours.
127
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,120
OK, well, erm...
128
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,840
..lovely to see you, James.
129
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,600
What, no "thank you"?
130
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,600
You sounded great, by the way.
DOOR CLOSES
131
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,040
And I guess I'll pay for
the rest of your groceries.
132
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,360
Sorry about that.
133
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,200
Stetson. Hi. Claire.
134
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,720
Mm!
135
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,280
Great to see you. You, too.
136
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,400
Well...I will have...
137
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,920
Absolutely delicious.
138
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,120
We'll get that right ready for you.
Thanks.
139
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,400
QUIETLY: He's here.
140
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,680
Stetson...is here. Great.
141
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,960
And he ordered the
ribeye palm puree.
142
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,640
Perfect. And I'll throw that order
of dates in right away.
143
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,720
Girl, he doesn't look happy
about the seating.
144
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,720
Relax, OK? It's going to be
the best meal of his life.
145
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:48,360
Oh, my gosh! I mean, the kid broke,
like, four glasses, too.
146
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,200
Which is good luck on opening night!
147
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,840
And every dish was perfect,
and every diner left raving.
148
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,880
I knew my confidence
was well-placed.
149
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,800
LAUGHTER WINDS DOWN
150
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,000
Which is why it pains me
151
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,720
to give you this bit of news.
152
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,680
I'm seriously considering selling
my stake in the restaurant.
153
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:12,720
BOTH: What?
154
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,600
Wh-Why? No, no, Stetson!
155
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,360
Ladies, you know, I love working
with you and believing you both.
156
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,760
But the numbers...
haven't been great lately.
157
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,280
I-It's just a...slower time...
for eating out. It's the holidays.
158
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,040
The buzz at Scarlett's
has unfortunately faded,
159
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,920
and I'm worried that another down
holiday season would spell big
160
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,240
losses for the end of the year.
161
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,600
I'm sorry, but it might
not be feasible.
162
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,040
Y-You know, that's not
what we're forecasting.
163
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,480
Erm... No.
164
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,400
Because, erm, well...
165
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:50,040
Er, Scarlett is working on a...
fantastic...
166
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,040
..new holiday menu
167
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,480
that's going to blow everyone
out of the water!
168
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,840
Hm. Interesting.
169
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,760
A new holiday menu?
170
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,120
Tell me more.
171
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,880
NERVOUS CHUCKLING
172
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,880
Erm...yes. Erm...
173
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,120
You know, I am still...
174
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,320
I'm still working out the details
a little bit, but I can tell you
175
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,800
that it's going to be really fresh,
seasonal dishes,
176
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,040
and the courses are just,
they're going to be very...
177
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,320
..unique and, erm...
178
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,520
Uniquely traditional.
179
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,800
Yeah! It'll put everybody into
the holiday spirit. Traditional.
180
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,560
If that's the case, I'll reconsider.
181
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:33,200
I'm very excited to see
what you've come up with.
182
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,640
I will call Wyatt Bruce... Oh.
183
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,560
..and convince him to come
get the menu reviewed.
184
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,480
See you both later.
185
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,480
HE GIGGLES
186
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,200
Claire, are you crazy?
187
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,160
Wyatt ripped us apart
on the last review.
188
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,400
I know, but we have no choice.
189
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,680
If our angel investor leaves,
negative press follows and,
190
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:02,520
shortly thereafter,
our staff begins fleeing.
191
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,840
We will be shut down completely
before we can even blink, Scarlett.
192
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,720
Yeah, I know that.
193
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,760
But...you promised a
holiday menu that doesn't exist
194
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,200
and dishes that I don't have.
195
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,120
Keep it simple! I-It'll be fine.
196
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,280
Wyatt Bruce is one of
the top critics in the world,
197
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,640
and he will crush us unless
we have special items.
198
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,960
You're right.
199
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:26,320
It can't be ordinary.
200
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,520
And it has been a few months
201
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,720
since you put any new dishes
on the menu.
202
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,320
I just, I-I haven't been
feeling inspired.
203
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,200
OK? It's not something
that you can just force.
204
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,960
Especially in this short
amount of time.
205
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,240
Well, you have to.
206
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,640
For Stetson.
207
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,560
And for Scarlett's.
208
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:53,080
Which needs it badly.
209
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,880
KNOCK ON DOOR
210
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,120
Wait, don't you and Dad
have a plane to catch.
211
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,880
We do. But I wanted to drop off
your gift for the holidays.
212
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,360
Your dad's wrapping up
a few work things before we
213
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,880
hit the road for Italy.
214
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,400
Aw, thank you.
215
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,200
It's a, it's...
216
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,200
It's a new sharpener for
your knife set. Oh!
217
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,560
Well...thank you.
218
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,640
How's the restaurant?
219
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,280
It's OK.
220
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,120
Everything all right?
221
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,960
Have you and Dad...
222
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,480
..ever had a restaurant fail?
223
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,080
No. Why?
224
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,920
Even one of the first ones?
225
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,440
You know, know before the
big hit with Tucson?
226
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,160
I still don't understand
why you sold that place.
227
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,360
Scarlett, what's going on?
228
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,200
We had some bad news tonight.
229
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,360
Stetson told us that he might...
230
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,520
..pull out his investment.
231
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,600
I know, and Claire wants
this holiday menu, I mean,
232
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,000
she's always wanted a holiday menu.
233
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,400
And you don't?
234
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,640
Well, no, I've never
believed in them, but she...
235
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,640
You know, she pitched it to him,
and now he thinks it's amazing.
236
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,520
And...I have to come up
with this new holiday menu,
237
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,160
which I'm not even confident
is going to work.
238
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,680
Scarlett.
239
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:27,880
Do you think that Claire is
passionate about your restaurant?
240
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,200
She wants it to succeed?
241
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,560
Yes. Absolutely.
242
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:35,320
I'd say you both have
that passion in common.
243
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,520
You're just disagreeing on the path.
244
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:44,760
Part of being a restaurant owner
and leader is trusting your manager.
245
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,440
I know how much you care
about Claire.
246
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,000
And having faith in your partner
is sometimes all there is.
247
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,160
Scarlett, you've always been
such a talented chef.
248
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,320
You always loved creating
new delicious dishes.
249
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,320
We couldn't keep you from inventing
new tastes and recipes as a kid.
250
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:09,640
We may not have had a restaurant
fail, but we've certainly had
251
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,040
to work on recipes,
ones that didn't work
252
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,640
and we just had to get right.
253
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:20,720
And we both have complete
confidence you'll figure that out.
254
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,320
Even if it's not
the plan you imagined.
255
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,160
Sometimes you have to take
the word of someone you trust
256
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,760
who shares the same passion as you
257
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,160
so you can hit the target deep down
you know you're both aiming for.
258
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,120
Right? Yeah, you're right.
259
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,360
Thanks, Mum.
260
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,880
I should get going.
261
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,320
OK. Have a good trip.
262
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Oh, hey. Hey.
263
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,200
I-I'm sorry, Claire.
264
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,440
I know you want what's best
for Scarlett's, just like I do.
265
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,880
And, you know, if you feel
that strongly about it,
266
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,280
then I trust you.
267
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,480
I'm sorry, too.
268
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,560
And whatever you come up with
is going to be great.
269
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,280
And Wyatt will see the light.
270
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,400
Yeah, he will. Mm-hm.
271
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,800
Thank you, Claire, you're the best.
272
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,360
And so, erm, on that note,
273
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,120
I've been thinking,
and I've come up with an idea.
274
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,200
OK. And you need...
275
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,840
..inspiration.
276
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,120
"The Season(ing) of Christmas"?
Mm-hm.
277
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,720
"For the holiday host
looking for a new spin on
278
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,440
"traditional Christmas dinners."
279
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,320
A cooking class?
It's a little cheesy!
280
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,640
But it'll help, I promise.
281
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,640
I mean, this is for beginners.
282
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,680
It's not for trained chefs.
283
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,000
OK, come on, just go for
some inspiration.
284
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,800
What have we got to lose?
285
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,560
You need to take this seriously -
for the sake of our dream together.
286
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,920
And I am. I just don't think
the answer is peppermint
287
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,760
and figgy pudding.
288
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,080
It's going to be fine.
289
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,040
I'm just, I'll do a riff on
some of my old dishes.
290
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,560
You know, I've made food
that's cheery before.
291
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,320
I'll just tweak those and add
a little pixie dust.
292
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,240
And besides, I can't just leave.
The restaurant needs me.
293
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,400
But we need something new, Scarlett.
294
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,480
And I've already booked your ticket.
295
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,240
And you're going to love it!
296
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,960
Just go, find your
inspiration again.
297
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,760
SHE SCOFFS
Take some time off. We need it.
298
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,800
Fine. Fine.
299
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,360
Only because I trust you.
300
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,120
Well, then, it's good to be me.
301
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,400
SHE CHUCKLES
302
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,440
Whoa.
303
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,280
Mm! I get the candy cane one.
304
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,840
It was definitely
the most delicious.
305
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,840
OK, candy cane it is.
306
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,680
So, are you excited to learn
some new recipes?
307
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,760
I mean, I can't wait
for this course.
308
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,960
Yeah, I'm curious to see
what they have.
309
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,040
Us, too. I'm all thumbs at
cooking, unfortunately.
310
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,280
I always joke that my husband, Ed,
had literally had all thumbs.
311
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,280
Most people found that
uncomfortable.
312
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,600
THEY CHUCKLE
313
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,360
I'm Roseland. Oh.
Rosie for short. Scarlett.
314
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,120
And over there is Ed.
315
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:14,400
Ed, come here.
316
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,120
SHE CHUCKLES
317
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,120
This is Ed.
318
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:21,840
Pleasure to meet you.
Scarlett. Nice to meet you, too.
319
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,480
THEY GIGGLE
320
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,080
He's a monkey.
So, where are you both from?
321
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,040
Er, just outside the city.
322
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,920
In the 'burbs. Ah, beautiful.
323
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,520
Yeah, we love it.
324
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,720
Just...we only arrived here,
what, a few hours ago?
325
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,080
How about you?
326
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,600
Oh, I just got in today.
327
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,320
And I actually got in yesterday.
328
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,040
I wanted to give myself
a chance to look around.
329
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,760
Jackie. Hi.
330
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,400
It's beautiful here. Mm-hm.
331
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,720
The trees, that crisp air when
you know that snow is coming.
332
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,280
Being up here in nature,
it revitalises you.
333
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,840
It's like a reminder that
you needed a break
334
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,600
when you didn't even know it.
335
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,880
You know? I really do.
336
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,520
Yeah, I was trying to put my finger
on it when I was driving up.
337
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,440
And that's...
yeah, that's exactly it.
338
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,640
And over there is Bryce and Gloria.
339
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,720
Hi, I'm Bryce. I'm Gloria. Hi.
340
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,280
WHISPERING: Show 'em. Oh.
341
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,720
We're newly engaged.
342
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,800
Oh! That's beautiful.
343
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,440
Congratulations. I'm Scarlett.
344
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,920
Hi, Scarlett. Nice to meet you.
345
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,720
Excuse me, everyone.
346
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,480
If I can just have a moment, please.
347
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,240
I, er, just would like to welcome
you to the Season(ing) of Christmas!
348
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,720
THEY CLAP
349
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,040
A week-long getaway where we'll
be exploring your culinary voices,
350
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,280
learning essential skills,
and broadening cooking prowess
351
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,880
through the magic of
Christmas-time's beautiful food.
352
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,720
Your families will be
blown away this year.
353
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,400
Thank you all for coming.
354
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,840
I'm your host, James Guidry.
355
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,600
Class starts tomorrow.
356
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,640
But part of this course is about
having fun and getting
357
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,280
into the Christmas-time spirit.
358
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,920
So, now we're going into town
where I'll introduce you to
359
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,880
the local shops of the area
360
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,720
and deliver Christmas gifts!
361
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,160
Because it's a nice,
neighbourly thing to do,
362
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,720
and it'll buy us all some
wonderful Christmas charity with
363
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,400
the shops we'll be using.
364
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,240
I've got your gifts all bagged up
right here, and...again,
365
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,960
welcome to the
Season(ing) of Christmas.
366
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,640
THEY APPLAUD
367
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,400
INDISTINCT CHATTER
368
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,160
I cannot believe you're
running this.
369
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,480
How about that?
370
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,360
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
371
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:44,920
When I saw the name Scarlett
Bridges on the class list,
372
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,280
never did I think it would be you.
Hm. It's me.
373
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,240
What are you doing here?
374
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Oh, erm... Sorry.
375
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,920
Merry Christmas.
376
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,160
..I, er, just hired some new chefs
for my restaurant,
377
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,880
and we have to teach them
some holiday menu items.
378
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,160
So, my partner and I thought it'd
be a good idea that I brush up.
379
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,160
Honestly, I'm just glad to
hear you're doing so well.
380
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,360
Your restaurant, too.
381
00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:13,560
Oh. Erm, thank you.
382
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,560
You, too.
Yeah, I'm really glad you're here.
383
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,480
I'm happy you're taking the class.
384
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,280
Frankly, it's rare to have another
chef of your calibre here,
385
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,200
so, if you wouldn't mind,
I'd like to have you help me
386
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,000
teach a few of the classes.
387
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,280
Be a shame not to put all
that expertise to use.
388
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,240
Sure. Yeah, why not?
389
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,440
Great.
390
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,680
And this is the master kitchen
we'll be doing all of our baking in.
391
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,560
Used to feed guests in private
parties at the villa.
392
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,560
As you can see, the kitchen can
handle any meal, large or small.
393
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,920
And it's a place where pros work.
And now, you do, too.
394
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,360
I know we all got to know
each other at the meet-and-greet
395
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:58,440
the other night, but let's go around
and share something about ourselves
396
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,520
and why you're in this class.
397
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,240
Rosie, how about you go first?
398
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,720
Oh, OK.
399
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,040
As you all know, we've been married
for 28 years this June.
400
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,600
Very happily.
401
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,120
And this room, it's incredible.
402
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:14,520
It makes me think of the beautiful
places we went when we were dating.
403
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,320
Yeah. But we're here because we used
to have Christmas at our house,
404
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,880
but, because we only know
how to cook one thing,
405
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,800
the family asked us to stop hosting.
406
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,760
So, we need some new recipes,
some new tricks.
407
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,840
We can help with that.
408
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,640
Jackie, how about you?
409
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,880
Well, erm, I love Christmas.
410
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,280
The best time to spend
with my family.
411
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,080
Now that my babies are out of
the house, and it's the time
412
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,280
of my happiest memories.
413
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,720
Oh, and I know all
the holiday recipes,
414
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,640
but I keep on taking the class
so I can keep sharp!
415
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,200
Well, as we said last night,
we are getting married.
416
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,000
We haven't known each other
that long, only a few months.
417
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
But it's been a bit of
a whirlwind love story.
418
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,480
Yeah, to say the least.
419
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,640
Now, because it's been
such a whirlwind,
420
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,440
our parents haven't exactly met yet.
421
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,520
So, we're going to make them
a big dinner.
422
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,680
I've been cooking a while, so I
already know most of this stuff,
423
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,280
but Bryce is just starting out.
New guy.
424
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,320
THEY CHUCKLE
425
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,640
And so, we just thought it
would be a fun chance
426
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,520
to learn something great.
427
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,320
Well, we can help with that, too.
428
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,480
And how about you, Scarlett?
429
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,640
Oh. Me. Erm...
430
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:34,600
..I am a chef, and I graduated
top of my class, actually,
431
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,560
at Cordon Bleu, and now,
I own a restaurant.
432
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,920
You weren't always top of the class.
433
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,520
Yeah, the top.
434
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,800
Really, just right there
at the top, the whole time, huh?
435
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,600
Yep.
436
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,280
Uh-huh.
437
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,560
I mean, there may have been
the odd occasion where someone else
438
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,680
might have finished ahead of me.
439
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,040
Super. So, you were amongst
the top two in your class?
440
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,960
That's great. I just wanted to
clear that up for everyone.
441
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,840
And...why are you here?
442
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,240
Hm.
443
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,920
I am here because I am a big fan
of Christmas classics,
444
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,240
just those, you know,
simple recipes that are...
445
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,920
..so, so good.
446
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:22,920
Great.
447
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,480
Scarlett's actually going to be
assisting me in today's session.
448
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,000
Which I'm very excited about.
449
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,520
But first, we're going to be diving
headfirst into core concepts.
450
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,360
Food prep and proper technique
are a chef's greatest assets
451
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:39,280
in the kitchen, especially when
jumping into the Christmas classics.
452
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,200
So, let's get started.
453
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,120
DISHES CLATTERING
454
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,000
We have to walk before we can run.
455
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,040
The mise en place, or food
preparation, not only saves you time
456
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,480
and keeps you organised in the
long run, but it also helps you
457
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,840
acquaint yourself with the
ingredients that will become
458
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,200
part of your masterpiece.
459
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,240
So, we'll practise proper chopping
techniques on these yams,
460
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,880
and the ingredients in front
of us will later be used
461
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,800
to make our candied yams.
462
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,680
But remember to take your time.
463
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,520
The more time you put in, the more
proud of your dish you'll be.
464
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,320
QUIETLY: Sliced Christmas quiche.
465
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:26,040
But with cranberries, honey,
crumpled cheese...
466
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,440
Ech.
467
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,800
ROSIE: Ohh. Scarlett?
468
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,840
I just don't seem to get
the hang of this.
469
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,120
Would you mind helping?
Of course not.
470
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,720
Whoa, OK.
471
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,000
First, we're going to
use this knife.
472
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,920
OK. So, you're going to hold it
steady with this hand, this one,
473
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,360
you're going to go front to back,
just rocking it. You see?
474
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:54,480
The base will do most of the work.
475
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,000
Oh. It's a little advanced.
476
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,880
I think it's better to stick with
the top-to-bottom method, Rosie.
477
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,600
It's also more stable and safe.
478
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,080
Rosie can do it.
479
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,720
I mean, that's just such a
basic cooking technique.
480
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,200
It's like what I did with my
training knives when I was nine.
481
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,080
You can handle it right, Rosie?
Erm...
482
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,480
Yeah! Just believe in yourself.
OK, OK.
483
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,080
You had training knives
when you were nine?
484
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,320
You didn't? How old were you?
485
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,880
14. Doesn't matter.
486
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,720
Well, look at that!
487
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,640
Top...to bottom.
488
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,880
Top-to-bottom.
489
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,800
Ed, look! I'm getting it!
490
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,080
Remember, guys, it's not a race.
491
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,600
Take it slow and safe.
492
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,440
Scarlett's going to step in and
help demonstrate on this one.
493
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,840
Thanks, James.
494
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,240
This lesson is all about finding
your artistic flair and decoration.
495
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,920
Engaging that creativity is the
heart of Christmas and, frankly,
496
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,080
everywhere in the kitchen.
497
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,560
And there's no better Christmas
recipe to have up your sleeve
498
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:57,680
than a good meringue.
499
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,160
So, we're going to make
meringue cookie snowmen.
500
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,000
There's an art to shaping meringue.
501
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,720
Follow the recipe, then form
and add all the ingredients,
502
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,440
dab some colour,
add some chips as buttons.
503
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,600
Just have fun.
504
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,320
Now, begin. OK.
505
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,400
Are you taking notes?
506
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,960
Erm...
507
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,520
Yeah.
508
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,280
This is all...very useful.
509
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:24,920
Wow, I didn't think you were
taking this seriously.
510
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,920
I mean, snowmen and meringue?
511
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,280
How do you do it?
512
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,640
Well, I mean, I can't really
take credit for it.
513
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,640
I remember this.
514
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,240
You're being sarcastic.
515
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,640
DRYLY: What? No.
516
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,160
Oh, really?
517
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,520
Erm...what do I do with
those little chips again?
518
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,760
It's more of a...
surrealism version.
519
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,720
Snowman. Voila.
520
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,960
It can be sticky stuff, Bryce.
521
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,720
You know, take a knife, and you can
shape the edges if you want.
522
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,280
Around the edges, right.
523
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,480
Good work.
524
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,200
This isn't the recipe, Scarlett,
what are you doing?
525
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,600
Well, the recipe's so simple.
526
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,520
I thought we're supposed
to be creative?
527
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:20,800
The point is it's simple.
528
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,040
The creativity's in the
shaping the merengue.
529
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,880
OK, well, I think I probably
made it better.
530
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,560
That's fine, but the lesson's
about the art of creativity.
531
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,040
These aren't even snowmen.
532
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,680
There. Buttons.
533
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,720
Beautiful snowmen.
534
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,000
Oh, he's THE James?
535
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,040
The one you always had
the rivalry with?
536
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,840
Yes. Can you believe it?
537
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,200
SHE CHORTLES
538
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,200
I had no idea.
539
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,400
Jeez! You two really used to fight.
540
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,000
Oh, he's driving me nuts.
541
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,240
He's still completely
immature and stubborn.
542
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,840
Oh, no. Yeah.
543
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,560
I mean, I thought for a minute,
maybe he'd grown up, but...no.
544
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,600
Oh, and you should see some of
the techniques he's teaching.
545
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,000
Anyway, I am trying to keep
an open mind.
546
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,600
And I want to make this work.
547
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,960
How are sales?
548
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,600
Oh, er, well, they're holding.
Not improving at all.
549
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,400
But you need to keep your
eyes on the prize.
550
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,120
Just blow Stetson and Wyatt away.
551
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,440
Yeah, I know.
552
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,920
Are the classes helping at all?
553
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,560
Not yet.
554
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,520
No sparks of inspiration.
555
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,400
OK. I will keep working on it.
556
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,320
We just need a couple entrees
and a dessert.
557
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,600
I will figure this out, I promise.
558
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,600
Scarlett, you are the
best chef I know.
559
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,160
Just...roll up your sleeves.
560
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,720
I know you'll figure it out.
561
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,760
Thanks, Claire.
562
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,640
You're the best. You are.
563
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,560
Great day, everyone.
You should be proud.
564
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,280
Now, we're just going to slide
your cinnamon rolls into the oven.
565
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,120
Have them for dessert after dinner.
566
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,920
My only assignment is to come up
with three new gingerbread concepts
567
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,200
other than men.
568
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,000
Other than that, have a great night.
569
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,800
Pretty beautiful around here,
isn't it?
570
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,400
Yeah, it is.
571
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,360
What, are you looking for
inspiration? Yeah.
572
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:38,160
Well, just remember, gingerbread
ideas sometimes do grow on trees.
573
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,000
That's not what I...
574
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,520
Remember, try to have fun
with it, Scarlett.
575
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,680
Mm...that's delicious.
576
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,080
Mm, Scarlett!
577
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,520
Do you want your cinnamon roll?
578
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,800
They left them for us.
Aw, I'm OK.
579
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,880
Thanks. They're delicious.
580
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,000
We did a great job,
if I do say so. Yeah.
581
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,400
SHE CHUCKLES
582
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:21,200
So, tell me, what type of meals does
your restaurant normally serve?
583
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,240
It's like, erm,
upscale European cuisine.
584
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,880
That sounds ambitious.
585
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,880
THEY CHUCKLE
586
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,200
But what I really love is
the food that we make here.
587
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,480
I've taken so many courses
of these now.
588
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,840
SHE LAUGHS
589
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,680
You just keep taking them?
590
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,480
Oh, yes, I love them.
591
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,160
It's the food. The season.
592
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,440
Now that my house is empty.
593
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,240
My husband passed a few years ago.
594
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,760
Oh, I'm sorry. Oh...it's OK.
595
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,000
It was a long time ago now.
596
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,600
And I'm in a great place.
597
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,920
But the holidays are when
I get to see my family.
598
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,480
It's not always easy to get in
the same place at the same time.
599
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,680
We were just about to start
talking about Bryce and Gloria.
600
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,200
And that special connection
they have.
601
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,600
Ooh. Oh.
602
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,880
Honestly, it's been unbelievable.
603
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,840
He's perfect.
604
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,640
I don't know.
605
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,440
Well, are you excited about
the big holiday dinner?
606
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,320
I am, yeah. Yeah.
607
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,760
I think Bryce was a little nervous,
608
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,720
just doing something
so big at Christmas.
609
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,600
But he's come around, and now,
we're just both excited
610
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,120
to bring our families together.
611
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,120
You know? That's amazing.
612
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,320
Yeah.
613
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,080
It seems you have a little
connection of your own.
614
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,360
Er, me?
615
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,360
Well, I've never seen James so...
lively teaching.
616
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,560
James?
617
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,280
No, stop.
618
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,000
No, I mean...
619
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,520
Fine, he's got a little...
more handsome over the years.
620
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:09,080
He's still the same,
just...irritating,
621
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,800
competitive, frustrating chef
he was back in school, so...
622
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,960
It's not...no.
623
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,000
OK.
624
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,680
PHONE RINGS
625
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,960
Hi, Mum.
626
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,920
Hey. Just checking in.
627
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,880
Thank you, I appreciate it.
628
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,120
So, how's it going?
629
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,200
Erm...good.
630
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,720
Fine, I guess.
631
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,120
Have you had any ideas
for the new menu?
632
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,480
Yeah, I've got some ideas.
633
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:53,000
Gourmet pumpkin pie with buttermilk,
sweet wafer crust,
634
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,520
banana bread stuffing with
sausage and sage.
635
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,040
I don't know.
636
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,400
Nothing that feels right.
637
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:04,760
You know, when I got stuck,
I used to think of the last dish
638
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,720
that I truly loved from anywhere,
639
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,520
and I let that inspire and guide me.
640
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,320
In fact, that's how I came up with
641
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,280
the holiday apple turnovers
that year, remember?
642
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,720
You asked me to make something that
had never been made on Christmas,
643
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:22,240
and I'd just had a great
apple pie the week before,
644
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:25,360
decorated with frosting and colours.
645
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,000
You loved that.
646
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,600
Yeah, I remember. I was, like, five?
647
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,480
That was really, really good.
648
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,200
Well, I just wanted to see
how you're doing.
649
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,320
Thanks, Mum.
650
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,640
'Night. Goodnight.
651
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,880
Well, listen, guys,
I've got something really special
652
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,400
planned for later, but first,
653
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,040
I'd like to see your
gingerbread designs.
654
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,960
Bryce, you're up.
655
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,320
Erm...
656
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,520
It's a mouse, and not a rat.
657
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,840
It's a mouse. Oh, those are great.
658
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,560
Good job. Thank you.
659
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:10,600
And, er, a Christmas tree,
a pickle, and, erm...
660
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,920
Is that Santa's house?
661
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,800
Close. But actually,
it's his man cave.
662
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,320
THEY LAUGH
663
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,920
I'm really proud, guys.
Very creative.
664
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,040
Scarlett, you're up.
665
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,240
Oh, erm, OK.
666
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,080
Er... Huh.
667
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,480
A little intricate for gingerbread.
668
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,080
What's that, a ship in a bottle?
669
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,800
Yeah, that's a ship in a bottle.
670
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,720
Is that an oven?
671
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:41,360
Oh, it's a confectionery oven
for baking Christmas treats.
672
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,840
And that's...
673
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,200
Oh, that is a hotel in
Switzerland I went to that had
674
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,480
literally the best gingerbread
I've ever had.
675
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,560
Right, right.
676
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,520
I don't think those will work.
677
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,240
What are you talking about?
I think they're...great.
678
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,640
Anyway, well, you guys all have
the recipes in front of you.
679
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,400
Just really brainstorm with herbs
and spices you want to use.
680
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,960
And then, when we're done,
681
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,320
we're going to go outside
and make maple taffy.
682
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,560
Ooh, that'll be fun.
683
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,040
Let's go.
684
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,800
Do you want to go outside
and help me prep?
685
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,400
SHE SIGHS
686
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,400
Sure.
687
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,960
OK.
688
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,840
Students always love these
maple syrup popsicles.
689
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:36,080
If the syrup's seated just right,
the snow should cool it perfectly.
690
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,520
Then we add popsicle sticks -
and presto, instant taffy tree.
691
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,480
You know, those designs were way
too complex for gingerbread men.
692
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,880
I mean, who remembers a random
hotel in Switzerland, anyway?
693
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,680
Well, if you'd tasted
the gingerbread,
694
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,160
then you would've remembered.
695
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,920
Regardless, they're way too complex
to make cookies out of,
696
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,280
I think you have to rethink
your whole concept.
697
00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,160
Well, I think you should rethink
your cookie-making skills.
698
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,000
Scarlett, great chefs know
how to take directions.
699
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,400
A good chef gives directions.
700
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,920
That's what it just did.
701
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,000
INDISTINCT CHATTER
702
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,120
Thank you.
703
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:19,760
We're just on a lunch break.
704
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,160
So, apparently there's a shop
in town that sells rare ingredients,
705
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,480
so I'll check it out.
706
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,680
I'm going to try and sneak
into the kitchen later
707
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,080
and do some experimenting.
708
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,560
Mm, great idea!
709
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:30,880
Good work, Scarlett.
710
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,120
How's it going there?
Oh, it's OK.
711
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,560
You know, soldiering on
without you in the kitchen,
712
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,560
doing reasonable replicas
of your easy dishes.
713
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,240
You know, actually, some guy said
he liked the chicken better.
714
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:44,080
Don't want him back.
715
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,160
OK, tell me what you think
about these holiday ideas.
716
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,480
Chocolate eclair with gold
and coffee shavings,
717
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,360
or, like, erm, a riff on
French croqueenbouche?
718
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:55,760
Oh, I don't know.
719
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,960
OK, well, you don't sound
excited about any of those.
720
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,200
Yeah, I'm not really. Scarlett.
721
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:05,080
I know! I know. If I'm not excited,
then Wyatt definitely won't be.
722
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,720
I just need to find the M-A-G-I-C.
723
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:10,280
I need fresh and unique.
724
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,120
I happen to be in the most
Christmassy market I've ever seen,
725
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,160
so I'm on the hunt.
726
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,480
Well, I love it.
727
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,640
I'll talk to you later.
728
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,680
OK. Bye-bye.
729
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,680
PHONE RINGS
730
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,000
Hello? Hello, Scarlett.
731
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,720
Erm, Mr Bruce. Hi.
732
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,800
It's very nice to speak with you.
733
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,360
Nice to speak with you, too.
734
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,240
I wanted to reach out
and Stetson gave me a call.
735
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:38,840
But I heard you were out of town.
736
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,400
I-I am.
737
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:45,720
Yes, I just love to go to new areas
and, sort of, er, immerse myself
738
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:48,120
as inspiration for new dishes.
739
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,200
Mm! Always in the laboratory.
I admire that.
740
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,160
And I admire your palate.
It's...very discerning.
741
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,600
So...what's going on?
742
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,960
Well, aside from my usual
critic duties,
743
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,320
I have actually been getting into
the business side of food recently.
744
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,160
I'll get a little taste
of your world.
745
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,880
OK, that sounds great.
746
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,600
You know, I've been following you
since your days at Cordon Bleu.
747
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,360
And I admit, you know,
I was a little harsh on you before.
748
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,960
But Stetson raves about you
and said that you have some
749
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,720
amazing dishes in store.
750
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:23,640
They're going to blow me away
and reinvent the Christmas menu.
751
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,080
Oh...yes, we do.
752
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,920
We are, erm, very excited
for you to try them.
753
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,760
Well, I'm looking forward to it.
754
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,040
Looking forward to it, too.
755
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,040
All right. Bye.

PHONE BEEPS
757
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,000
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
758
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,400
Good morning. May I help you?
759
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,360
I was wondering, do you have
any cookbooks, maybe...
760
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,080
..outside-the-box recipes?
761
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,040
Mm, we have regular cookbooks
over there.
762
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,360
They're seasonal.
763
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,160
Erm...what about...self-help?
764
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,120
Like, thought-expansion?
765
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,400
SHE CHUCKLES
766
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,880
That's called eggnog
this time of year, sweetie.
767
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,320
By the ornaments.
768
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,280
What are you actually looking for?
769
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,480
Oh, erm, I'm a chef.
770
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,240
I'm...looking for inspiration.
771
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:19,680
Oh, well, that's a tall order.
772
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,560
Our cookbooks do have plenty
of festive recipes, feel free.
773
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:28,160
But I don't think that self-help
or thought-expansion will help.
774
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,600
No?
775
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,040
The great thing about Christmas
is that every year,
776
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,080
you get to see the entire world
from a new angle.
777
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,280
You open yourself to it,
it'll change your perspective.
778
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,000
No book works as good as that.
779
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,920
Thanks. I like that.
780
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,480
It's the moment we've all
been waiting for.
781
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,120
We're going to make real dishes.
782
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,520
We're going to get real practice,
making some wonderful
783
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,880
Christmas classics, beautiful,
wholesome recipes
784
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:01,360
your whole family will love,
785
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,560
all leading up to a big
surprise I have for you.
786
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,000
Without further ado,
let's get started.
787
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,960
Exciting stuff going on over here,
really.
788
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,600
I, er, love the creativity, but...
789
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,280
..I think this is going
a little too far.
790
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,320
I don't think so.
791
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,000
I love the dedication, too,
792
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,440
but tradition still has its place
in these meals and without embracing
793
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,280
that while being creative, you're
not going to capture what makes
794
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,360
a Christmas meal special.
Just saying.
795
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,040
Well, I disagree.
796
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,760
I think I'm going to blow
people away.
797
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,800
OK, if you think so.
798
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,600
Best of luck.
799
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:51,640
Thank you.
800
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,560
Well, looks like things
are going really well over here.
801
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,880
It is. I'm surprised no-one
thought of this sooner.
802
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,320
Yeah, they did.
They're called gingerbread men.
803
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:19,840
Not like this.
804
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,840
You know, I'd give you a taste, but
I don't want
805
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,600
to blow your mind just yet.
806
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,080
Pretty confident.
807
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,520
Why don't we let the class decide
when you're finished?
808
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:29,560
Done.
809
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,840
OK...
810
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,720
..James and I are having a little
disagreement.
811
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:44,680
So, I was hoping that you would help
us settle something.
812
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,360
I present to you
813
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,120
gingerbread that you eat
with a spoon.
814
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,640
Gingerbread tiramisu.
815
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,120
It's a little bit unique,
but it's delicious.
816
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,920
And I know you're going to love it.
817
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,360
Congratulations. Thank you.
818
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,200
Shall we?
819
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,040
Scarlett has created something,
a new dish,
820
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,360
a new take on a classic.
821
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,000
Now be honest.
822
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,120
Which do you prefer - gingerbread
cookies or the tiramisu?
823
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,200
That's really great.
824
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:23,480
Yeah...
825
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,320
..delicious.
826
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,480
But you don't always have a spoon.
827
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:28,680
This is great.
828
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,400
The cookies just feel better
Christmas.
829
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,400
The fun part is making
all the little shapes, you know?
830
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,800
I like the cookies.
831
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:45,640
KNOCK ON DOOR
832
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,360
I surrender.
833
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,920
SHE LAUGHS FAINTLY
834
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,320
Want go for a walk?
835
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,760
SHE LAUGHS
836
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,280
Sure.
837
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:01,800
Sorry about today.
838
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:02,840
Oh, it's fine.
839
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,960
Remember the old ancient saying
"a cookie should stay a cookie".
840
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,400
LAUGHING: OK, OK, I get it.
841
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,760
Can I ask you a question?
842
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,640
Sure.
843
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,560
Did you always know you wanted
to be a chef
844
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,160
even before Cordon Bleu?
845
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:22,240
Always.
846
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:23,960
I guess that makes sense.
847
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,680
Suits you.
848
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,560
I never had any doubts, either,
but...
849
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,760
So, how come you're not...?
850
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,000
..running my own restaurant?
851
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,040
Yeah.
852
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,680
I was...
853
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,000
..for two years, serving
high-end food farm-to-table,
854
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,560
and I poured every ounce
of my heart into it.
855
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,480
And when it failed, it destroyed me,
856
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,800
and that's how I got into teaching.
857
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,040
Hm.
858
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,000
Sounds like you gave up
on your dream.
859
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,040
No, that's it...
860
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,200
I like this much more.
861
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,160
Maybe you just haven't found
the right situation yet.
862
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:56,480
Maybe.
863
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,680
I didn't think it was going
to be for me, but I had a student
864
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:05,360
tell me he wanted to become a chef
because he was inspired by my class.
865
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:06,400
And that's...
866
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,720
..that's why I fell in love with it.
867
00:45:09,720 --> 00:45:10,760
Yeah.
868
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:17,880
So, I'm not actually here to brush
up on dishes,
869
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,240
to train chefs.
870
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,320
My restaurant's in trouble, and if
I don't come up with an...
871
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,200
..incredible holiday menu to impress
a critic, then...
872
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:32,840
..I might lose it.
873
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,760
You know, my parents were
in the restaurant business
874
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:37,880
my entire life.
875
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:45,200
And because of that, I never
really had a real Christmas.
876
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,080
They were just always
in the kitchen during the holidays.
877
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,440
I mean, they would do stuff
to try and make it special,
878
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:57,320
like have my favourite pie
in the oven or decorate cookies
879
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,840
or these handmade figurines
we'd hang around,
880
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,360
but they were just always
at the restaurant.
881
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:05,680
Always.
882
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:11,080
I guess I kind of feel cheated
cos...
883
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,400
..looking back, I...
884
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,560
..wish it was different.
885
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,840
Good morning. Thank you all
for coming.
886
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,160
I had something else planned
for the last couple of days,
887
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,000
but I brought you here this morning
to announce that we're just going
888
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,480
to skip ahead to the final project,
889
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,880
where you're going to develop
your very own signature dish,
890
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,960
something special from the heart
891
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,640
that you can take and show off
as your very own using the skills
892
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,400
you've learned and putting
your lessons to work.
893
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,000
And at the end, there's
going to be a final taste test
894
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,320
where you'll be judged on what
you've done and how far you've come.
895
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:13,880
But first...
896
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,480
..we're going to do something
a little different.
897
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,680
To make Christmas food really great,
898
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,760
you need to be in
the holiday spirit.
899
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,280
So, during your breaks, I encourage
you to get out and explore
900
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:29,200
the grounds, make snowmen,
ride sleighs.
901
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,880
Just make this place your own
winter wonderland.
902
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,560
Now...
903
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:34,920
..go have fun.
904
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,640
Whoo! Let's go, Rosie!
905
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,280
I'm not sure what's below
first gear,
906
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,160
but I'm pretty sure you're
in it.
907
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,120
I haven't been on one of these
things in years!
908
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,040
Scarlett, sometimes
you just have to let go.
909
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,400
You can't control everything.
910
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,280
I'm scared I'm going to fall.
911
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,040
Well, you're certainly not setting
any speed records at that pace.
912
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,320
Oh, yeah?
913
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,360
SHE CACKLES
914
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,800
See you at the bottom, James!
915
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,200
Oh... Ahh!
916
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,040
Hey! Whoo!
917
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,440
Ahh!
918
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,600
THEY LAUGH
919
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,600
Hey! Hey!
920
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,960
Quit wrecking my snow angel!
921
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,960
You call that a snow angel!
922
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,960
SHE LAUGHS
923
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,200
So, what was it about teaching?
924
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,760
You mean, "What made me stop wanting
to be an executive chef?"
925
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,680
Yeah.
926
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,680
About a year
after the restaurant folded,
927
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,520
took a local job at a
community college.
928
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,680
Students were adrift,
trying to figure things out.
929
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,760
I was having a hard time
getting them to understand
930
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,440
the core concepts we learned
at the Bleu.
931
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:41,600
Some wanted to goof off.
932
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,520
Some thought they knew everything.
933
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:44,720
Hm.
934
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:45,880
Sound like anyone you know?
935
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,880
Me?
936
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,960
I just decided to throw
out the curriculum.
937
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,680
Told them the grades didn't matter,
and we were going to make dishes
938
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,560
that they'd had at restaurants
they'd never made themselves.
939
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,160
And professional kitchens
are cut-throat.
940
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:03,240
I don't know.
941
00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:07,760
I realised that I never had the same
joy giving dishes to customers
942
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,600
that I had when I saw pride
in my students' faces
943
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,400
after they made their own dish.
944
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,440
I'll admit...
945
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,520
..that I haven't felt
this inspired and creative
946
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:22,800
in a long time,
947
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,440
so you're pretty great teacher.
948
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:29,840
I'm really glad you came.
949
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,640
And I hope you find whatever
you're looking for.
950
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:37,320
Yeah, me, too.
951
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,760
So, how's the course going?
952
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:42,840
Great!
953
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,400
I've really been enjoying the things
we've been doing lately.
954
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,880
Yeah, I can hear it in your voice.
You sound happier.
955
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,240
Yeah.
956
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:52,240
And how's it going with James?
957
00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:53,840
Um...
958
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,120
..actually kind of good.
959
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,200
Yeah.
960
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,000
And I don't know if you know this,
but he had his own restaurant,
961
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,520
this farm-to-table place,
and when it went under, he started
962
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,600
teaching and he worked with
this group of college kids,
963
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,000
sort of helped focus them
through cooking.
964
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,040
He seems super passionate
about helping people.
965
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,960
I never saw that side of him before.
966
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,760
And then he has these outdoor
activities that we've been doing,
967
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,080
and it's been really helping
to inspire...
968
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,080
Oh, my goodness!
969
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:23,360
You like him!
970
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,560
What?
971
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:25,680
No, I don't.
972
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:26,960
What are you talking about?
973
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:28,800
Uh, yes, you do.
974
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,360
What, "passionate", "helping kids",
975
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,240
"growth" - sounds like all
the ingredients to an irresistible
976
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:36,280
little recipe to me.
977
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,480
Oh, stop, it's not like that.
978
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:39,920
LAUGHING: OK.
979
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:45,200
Oh, more importantly, I have a new
menu idea for Wyatt.
980
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,160
So...
981
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,800
..I am thinking my take on a sweet
potato souffle
982
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,200
with a vanilla bean creme.
983
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,640
I think it's going to be perfect.
984
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,920
Oooh, he's going to love it.
That sounds great.
985
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,440
Yeah, he will.
986
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,240
We just have one more entree
and a dessert to go.
987
00:51:04,240 --> 00:51:06,080
Keep rolling up your sleeves.
988
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,960
If anyone can do it, it's you.
989
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,080
Thanks, Claire.
990
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:12,760
Bye. Bye.
991
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,880
Hey, what's up?
992
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,480
Hey, with all the busyness going on,
993
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,160
I fell behind in decorating the rest
of the tree.
994
00:51:40,240 --> 00:51:42,880
What are you talking about?
It's beautiful.
995
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,160
This one's fine, but that's
a little underdressed for a holiday
996
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,120
ball, and I keep telling everyone
that Christmas decorations
997
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,440
in the house create an ambience
that elevates the food.
998
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,440
It's all part of the chef's
presentation.
999
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:57,600
It's true.
1000
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,840
It's missing something that...
1001
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:04,720
..I don't know, something specific
to us, something from the heart.
1002
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,320
I was going to head into town
to get some more decorations.
1003
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,040
Do you want to come?
1004
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:12,080
Sure.
1005
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,560
So, this is one of the perks
of teaching?
1006
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:21,960
What, free time?
1007
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,160
Yeah, it was my favourite
part about school.
1008
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,840
I used to get in quite a bit
of trouble.
1009
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,440
But Bryce and Gloria did far better
than they ever thought
1010
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,960
they could and will always
remember their experience here.
1011
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,040
And who knows?
1012
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,960
Ed and Rosie might surprise
themselves
1013
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,920
and start a cookie shop sparked
by something they learned in class.
1014
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,440
You know, there's a joy in food
and learning how to make it
1015
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,960
that I think we forget
about sometimes.
1016
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,080
I mean, isn't that part of why
you wanted to be a chef?
1017
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:50,160
Maybe,
1018
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,080
but I also learned that I can make
a better funnel cake than this.
1019
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:55,440
I don't know about that.
1020
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,680
So, what are we looking for again?
1021
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,520
Scarlett, we are looking
for an ornament that speaks to you,
1022
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,040
something special that reminds
you of why you love
1023
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,640
the holiday season.
1024
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,200
You know, something that will put
a smile on your face.
1025
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,880
You know, that's what our tree's
missing is something specific
1026
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,000
and personal to the class.
1027
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,160
You know?
1028
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:17,520
I do.
1029
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:21,920
Like something like this.
1030
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:30,840
Hm.
1031
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,480
MOBILE PHONE RINGS
1032
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:36,520
Oh...
1033
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:40,920
Hello.
1034
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,880
Hey, Scar-LETT.
1035
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,520
It's Scarlett. Um, hi, Mr Bruce.
1036
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,120
Now that that's done, you ready to
get back to class and...
1037
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:50,160
Um...
1038
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:52,360
Class?
1039
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,400
You're taking a class?
1040
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:55,920
No, she's, uh...
1041
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:57,240
..she's assisting me,
1042
00:53:57,240 --> 00:53:58,560
a VIP demonstrator.
1043
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,280
I had to call in three favours just
to get her to pick up the phone.
1044
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,080
SHE LAUGHS
1045
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,640
Wow, very nice of you.
1046
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,920
Um, yeah, just trying to give back.
1047
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,720
Hey, Scarlett, do you have a second
to talk?
1048
00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:09,880
I do.
1049
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,680
Listen, when I mentioned earlier
about the business side of things,
1050
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,440
well, I'm opening my own restaurant,
1051
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,880
high-end brasserie, harkening back
to the old world.
1052
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,000
It's all very exciting.
1053
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:19,040
Congrats.
1054
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,520
Now, we only have a little
while before opening, and to put
1055
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,520
it frankly, I am stressed.
1056
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,280
I can't find the right head chef.
1057
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,920
I have to admit you're on my
very short list.
1058
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:33,000
And I understand
that you have Scarlett's.
1059
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,200
I just think that your talents
would be better suited
1060
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:36,720
for a different type of food.
1061
00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:39,160
Is there any chance
you'd be interested?
1062
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:40,960
Wow, I'm...
1063
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,400
..I'm flattered. Thank you so much.
Um...
1064
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,520
..no,
1065
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,440
Scarlett's...
1066
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,240
..is my home.
1067
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:54,480
It's my dream,
1068
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,760
and I can't just
abandon it.
1069
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,120
Hey, you know what? I understand.
1070
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:00,160
Yeah.
1071
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,440
But I'm excited to impress
you next week.
1072
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,360
All right, bye now.
1073
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:06,400
Bye.
1074
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,440
Where'd that come from, anyway,
1075
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:12,960
that M-A-G-I-C?
1076
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:14,680
Stop!
1077
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:18,200
My mom has always had a tendency for
the straightforward
1078
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,680
when designing her recipes.
1079
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,680
Yeah, she starts out with something
simple.
1080
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,360
She'll incorporate something easy.
1081
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,600
She'll perfect that before she makes
it her own.
1082
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,240
I mean, don't get me wrong,
she's a great chef, she's...
1083
00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:32,280
..amazing actually. But...
1084
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,960
..you know, I wanted to do my own
thing, so I came up with the saying
1085
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,760
to remind myself to always look for
the extraordinary,
1086
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:45,040
push myself to be the most
creative, strain if I had to.
1087
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,320
So you can beat your mum?
1088
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,320
Yeah, I...
1089
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,720
..I mean, she casts a really big
shadow.
1090
00:55:54,720 --> 00:55:57,920
It was really hard for me
to go out on my own.
1091
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,480
She had expectations,
especially from her.
1092
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,680
Now, our relationship's a little bit
complicated.
1093
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,480
I wish it was simpler,
to be honest.
1094
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,960
It sounds like your mum just wants
what's best for you, and honestly,
1095
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,600
you should be grateful she cares
so much.
1096
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,560
Because, yeah, her love might
be tough...
1097
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,880
..but is that maybe because you're
tough on her, too?
1098
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,160
Yeah, maybe.
1099
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,320
Maybe.
1100
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,960
Now that's what I call
a perfect tree.
1101
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:39,600
Yeah, even better than before?
1102
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:42,600
Much.
1103
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,920
Those are so great.
1104
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,920
SHE CHUCKLES
1105
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:07,560
Yeah, you like them?
1106
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,360
I have a very particular method
for picking out my ornaments,
1107
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,400
and you followed it.
1108
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,400
THEY LAUGH
1109
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,600
So, you get to see your whole
family at Christmas?
1110
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,480
Oh, goodness, yes.
1111
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,040
It's my favourite time of the year.
1112
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,400
And I know I get overexcited,
1113
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:28,280
but I get to learn new tricks
in all of these courses.
1114
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,320
Mm.
1115
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,480
That makes me happy sharing
them with my kids.
1116
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:35,280
I can't even imagine you with
your recipes and your family.
1117
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,080
Oh, I don't know.
1118
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,320
Tell me, what is your strategy
for picking ornaments?
1119
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:46,040
Oh, well, I just look for ones
that make me remember Christmas,
1120
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,760
all of the good times
and all of the bad.
1121
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:51,640
Really? The bad ones, too?
1122
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:58,400
The first Christmas after my husband
passed, it was just me and the kids.
1123
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,920
And Fred had all of these things
that he liked to do -
1124
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,120
rituals, little customs...
1125
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,640
..like arranging the presents in
weird shapes
1126
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,240
or hiding acorns.
1127
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,320
Oh, but if you found it,
you got the first pancake.
1128
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:14,360
OK.
1129
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,640
So, we're just sitting there,
1130
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:22,120
looking at presents just stacked
normally,
1131
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:23,960
not knowing how...
1132
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,000
..how to feel.
1133
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:30,480
So my youngest finds the acorn
that I hid...
1134
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:33,960
..looks at it
1135
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:35,640
and bursts out laughing.
1136
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:37,000
THEY LAUGH
1137
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:41,360
And then before you know it,
we all are.
1138
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:46,400
You know, in memory of him and those
crazy tricks that he used to do.
1139
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,160
That was good. It's the best.
1140
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:54,600
And it is the most meaningful
Christmas that my family's ever had
1141
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,440
even though it didn't start
out so good.
1142
00:58:58,760 --> 00:58:59,880
Wow.
1143
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:03,640
So, every time I see acorn
decorations, I buy them,
1144
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,480
and I think of that.
1145
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:11,360
Because, no matter what,
the really best memories,
1146
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,880
they come from
the most unexpected places,
1147
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,200
and they might mean more
than you know.
1148
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:18,400
You know?
1149
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,040
That's beautiful.
1150
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:23,080
Thank you.
1151
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:21,160
Oh, hey.
1152
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:23,400
Mind if I come in?
1153
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,240
Sure.
1154
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,040
Do you want to taste?
1155
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:28,920
That's not some weird souffle
or, like,
1156
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:30,880
mashed potatoes and a salt
shaker, is it?
1157
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,600
Peanut butter shortbread cake.
1158
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,640
My family and I used to make the
cookies every year
1159
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,440
during the holidays.
It was, like, a tradition.
1160
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:42,840
So, this is my take.
1161
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,040
That is the best
thing you've ever made.
1162
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:49,120
Really?
1163
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,280
Yeah, I've tasted a lot of it.
1164
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,400
Yet no matter how busy we were,
we always made sure
1165
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:55,600
that we made them.
1166
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,720
I mean, they were quick
and nothing fancy compared
1167
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,520
to what they made their guests,
but I love them.
1168
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:03,320
That's your mum's recipe?
1169
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,320
Yep, and she always added nutmeg.
1170
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:09,880
That was, like, a little touch that
only she would think of.
1171
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,680
And I think I was the one that
thought of the peanut butter, so...
1172
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,440
It was my grandmother's
cookie recipe,
1173
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:21,440
my mum added the nutmeg
and I was the peanut butter.
1174
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,320
Sounds like the whole family
had a hand in it.
1175
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,480
So, it doesn't always have to be
something unique or something
1176
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,640
special, it's about taking people
back to the things they love.
1177
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,080
I was thinking, you know
what you said about your childhood
1178
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,560
Christmases and feeling
like you were cheated
1179
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,480
and didn't have a real Christmas.
1180
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:41,520
Yeah.
1181
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,840
I think you're looking
at it all wrong.
1182
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,080
Those were unique Christmases,
1183
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:47,520
and they sounded great.
1184
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,400
Ah...
1185
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,040
I mean... They might not
have been traditional under a tree
1186
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:53,160
in the family room, but...
1187
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:54,560
Well, I mean, I was working.
1188
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,800
Yeah, and look what you got
out of it.
1189
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,920
That's real family history
in that cake.
1190
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:03,320
Might not have been straining
or the M-A-G-I-C
1191
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:04,880
you were looking for, but...
1192
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:07,760
..that's real magic.
1193
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:09,920
And I know there's no other
place that you'd rather
1194
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:11,720
be than in the family business.
1195
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:15,360
Maybe.
1196
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,600
The joy of the season
was in those rooms, Scarlett.
1197
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:20,880
There was love in those rooms,
and at the end of the day,
1198
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,560
that's what the holidays
are all about.
1199
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,760
You know, you didn't always
play it safe.
1200
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,000
Yeah, maybe.
1201
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:38,880
Ah...
1202
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:41,840
It's getting late.
1203
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,280
We've got a long day tomorrow.
1204
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:44,800
We should probably get to bed.
1205
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:47,560
Goodnight.
1206
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:48,720
Goodnight.
1207
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:57,600
I just want to congratulate you all.
1208
01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:59,240
You should be very proud.
1209
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,480
In our time here together,
you've grown, you've learned,
1210
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,440
you've developed amazing culinary
skills.
1211
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,280
You came here to be true holiday
chefs, and I am happy to welcome
1212
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:09,440
you into that league.
1213
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,400
I'd let you cook my Christmas dinner
any day.
1214
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:12,480
LAUGHTER
1215
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,320
And I have no doubt that all of your
dishes will taste incredible,
1216
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,480
so thank you all
1217
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,600
and for your help, too.
1218
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,040
Raise them up! Cheers!
1219
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:24,240
ALL: Cheers!
1220
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:25,320
To you guys!
1221
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:26,360
Cheers.
1222
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:30,880
That was delicious. Thank you.
1223
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:38,720
This, uh...
1224
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,200
..reminds me of the old
days, being in class.
1225
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,320
Yeah, almost.
1226
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,560
So, how, pray tell, are your dishes
coming along?
1227
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,080
For the restaurant,
I know you've been working on a few.
1228
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,640
They're coming.
1229
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,040
I've got both the entrees.
1230
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,520
I just am still missing a dessert.
1231
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:02,400
Listen...
1232
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:04,880
..I wanted to thank you.
1233
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:08,640
For what?
1234
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,080
For giving me the time
to try and figure it out, and...
1235
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:16,600
..for everything.
1236
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,680
Really, this whole experience
has been
1237
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,080
way more than I ever thought
it was going to be.
1238
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:25,360
Yeah, for me, too.
1239
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,000
You know, I have to confess,
when we were at Cordon Bleu,
1240
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,600
I was always looking over my
shoulder to see what you were doing.
1241
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:33,640
Really?
1242
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,920
I was definitely
paying attention, too.
1243
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,080
Probably why I was a little more...
1244
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:47,360
..harsh with you than I should've
been. LAUGHING: Oh! Harsh?
1245
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,240
Yeah, OK,
that's what we'll call that.
1246
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:55,960
I'm sorry, too.
1247
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,400
And as far as Scarlett's,
1248
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,760
there isn't anything you can't do.
1249
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,640
I've always thought that.
1250
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,080
And as far as dessert goes, you
seemed to be on the right track
1251
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:08,920
the other night with your
holiday magic.
1252
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,120
Those shortbread
cookies were to die for.
1253
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:12,560
Thank you, I appreciate that.
1254
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,520
You know, I've always thought
you were a great chef.
1255
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,280
Maybe even almost as good as me.
1256
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,400
But I'm serious, you're so talented,
you should get back out there
1257
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:27,200
and show it off in the real world,
1258
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,360
not just out here
in the mountains.
1259
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:32,400
Thanks.
1260
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,640
Hey, I have a surprise for you.
1261
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,160
OK.
1262
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,960
James, this is Wyatt Bruce...
1263
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,880
..and he's here to judge the final.
1264
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:13,560
Oh, OK.
1265
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:14,760
Isn't that great?
1266
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:15,920
Yeah, sure.
1267
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:16,960
I made a call,
1268
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,800
and he very graciously agreed to
come up last minute.
1269
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,680
Now, he knows he won't be trying
my dish
1270
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,480
because that's for next
week at Scarlett's. Mm-hm.
1271
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,760
But a critic of his stature will
only bring prestige
1272
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,360
to your great class,
which I've told him a lot about.
1273
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:31,640
Yeah, it's a pleasure.
1274
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,120
Scarlett has been raving about
your course.
1275
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:35,680
I'm excited to see
what you have here.
1276
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,680
Thank you for coming. Welcome.
1277
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:07,960
Not bad.
1278
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,360
Spiced cranberry
because I've done some...
1279
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,440
Mm.
1280
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:28,680
WHISPERING: It's going so well.
1281
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:33,200
Yeah.
1282
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:43,560
Don't you think that went great?
1283
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,160
Everything just went so perfectly.
The meals were awesome.
1284
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:47,400
I think you really shined.
1285
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,440
That could've gone terribly
for those students!
1286
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,320
Luckily it didn't,
but it so easily could've.
1287
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:52,800
What?! What are you talking about?
1288
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,120
It was just a big dog and pony show
for you and Scarlett's.
1289
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,760
What? No, I did that for you.
1290
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,440
Look, I wanted him to see
you because you're a great chef
1291
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:01,800
and you're great in the kitchen.
1292
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:03,840
I appreciate that, but I told
you that I don't...
1293
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,480
The only reason I invited Wyatt
here is because you deserve
1294
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,040
to be back out there.
1295
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:09,760
He's hiring a chef for his new
restaurant.
1296
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:11,760
But I told you I don't want that,
1297
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,280
and those students didn't need
the extra pressure.
1298
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,120
You mean YOU don't want
the extra pressure?
1299
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,320
I mean, you couldn't handle
criticism in school
1300
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,280
and you still can't.
So you removed yourself from it.
1301
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,440
You're playing it safe,
but you can't hide out
1302
01:08:25,440 --> 01:08:27,720
in the mountains teaching
beginner classes forever.
1303
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:31,840
You don't get it.
1304
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:32,880
James...
1305
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,360
No, you haven't changed one bit,
Scarlett.
1306
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:40,920
SHE SCOFFS
1307
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,200
Hey, James...
1308
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:06,600
..are you OK?
1309
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:08,800
Yeah, I'm fine.
1310
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:13,440
Come on, let's talk.
1311
01:09:13,440 --> 01:09:15,520
No, I'm OK, Rosie, thanks.
1312
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:19,400
I said come on. We're talking.
1313
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:20,640
OK, coming. Yeah.
1314
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:28,080
Got a ten-person party coming in
just before... Hey.
1315
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:29,640
Oh, hey, you're back.
1316
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:33,320
Give us a minute, OK?
1317
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:34,960
You can handle things out front.
1318
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,000
She doesn't hear people,
1319
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:45,560
and she's always been like that.
1320
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:49,000
I know that she was trying to help,
but...
1321
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:53,960
It's crazy.
1322
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,040
I always liked being in the kitchen
with Scarlett.
1323
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,760
Even though she drove me nuts,
1324
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,760
I couldn't wait to go to school
every day.
1325
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:02,880
It just...
1326
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:05,920
..made me feel...
1327
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:06,960
alive.
1328
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:09,880
And she's right.
1329
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,080
I could take more risks.
1330
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:16,360
And I love teaching, but...
1331
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,000
..I do want more.
1332
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:27,240
You know, when Ed and I first met,
you might find this hard to believe,
1333
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,560
but he was a lot to take in.
1334
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:36,120
Everything he said either made me
laugh or got under my skin.
1335
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,560
Made me angrier
than I'd ever been.
1336
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,600
But after we started talking,
I mean really talking...
1337
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,000
..I started to ask myself
why that was.
1338
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:55,840
Turns out the things he was saying
were truths I didn't want to hear,
1339
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:57,240
best things for me.
1340
01:10:58,440 --> 01:11:03,880
And it was only years later, he told
me he figured out the same things.
1341
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:08,920
Gloria and I had an argument.
1342
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:13,040
I just think this Christmas dinner's
putting a lot of pressure on us.
1343
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:16,640
Gloria thinks that it's
the solution, so I think
1344
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,760
I'm just really nervous about doing
all of this.
1345
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:22,760
No matter what happens
with that dinner,
1346
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,120
you're marrying an incredible woman.
Mm-hm.
1347
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,040
And that's what matters.
1348
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:33,560
I guess all that matters, isn't it?
1349
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:34,720
Yep.
1350
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,560
Yeah, he said it wasn't
what he wanted.
1351
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,160
I tried to apologise, but...
1352
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:45,520
..yeah, that was it.
1353
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,600
I still remember those calls
from cooking school, you know,
1354
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:52,360
you venting about how crazy
James made you.
1355
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,960
And I remember thinking that you two
were pushing each other,
1356
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:00,280
you know, always looking over each
other's shoulders,
1357
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,440
driving yourselves to be better.
1358
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,800
Yeah. And isn't that what it's
all about?
1359
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:08,680
You know, even if neither of
you could see it?
1360
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:12,880
And...
1361
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:15,840
..James was right about something.
1362
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:19,600
What was that?
1363
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:22,320
Your drive and competition makes
you great.
1364
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,520
And you think Christmas menus
bring down restaurants.
1365
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,080
And you need to be the best.
1366
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,400
But that shuts people
out of your life.
1367
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:36,040
It puts these blinders on to the
love they show you.
1368
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,520
You've been a part of the family
business ever since
1369
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,600
you put peanut butter
in those cookies.
1370
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,960
And I'm sure that's not the last
time your mother thought
1371
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,160
that she'd be cooking with you.
1372
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:52,400
You know, the memories of
sprinkle fights
1373
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,680
and baking pies in kitchens,
1374
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,920
those are wonderful
Christmas stories.
1375
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:00,600
You know, James is right
about that, too.
1376
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,680
And I was wrong earlier.
1377
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,400
Instead of searching for something
extraordinary, I wish you put
1378
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:16,560
a different ingredient into
the recipes that you love...
1379
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:20,080
..and welcome the people in
1380
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,360
who want to share Christmas
memories with you.
1381
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,600
That's the only Christmas wish
that I have for you, Scarlett...
1382
01:13:30,480 --> 01:13:33,000
..regardless of Scarlett's.
1383
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:38,400
Thanks, Claire.
1384
01:13:46,440 --> 01:13:50,960
And if you don't believe me, I...
1385
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:53,080
..I brought some backup
1386
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,120
along who might be able to
convince you.
1387
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,120
She cut her trip short for you.
1388
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:03,480
Hi.
1389
01:14:03,480 --> 01:14:04,520
Mum!
1390
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:08,480
I didn't know you were coming back
so early.
1391
01:14:08,480 --> 01:14:10,640
Well, Italy's overrated anyway.
1392
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,240
And there was only one seat left
on the flight, so I took it.
1393
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:35,360
Were you going to ask me
to work alongside you at Tucson?
1394
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:43,160
I had hoped you'd take it
over from us eventually.
1395
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:50,840
Then when I just left and started
this, you sold it.
1396
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:51,880
Yeah.
1397
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,400
I'm sorry.
1398
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:58,800
I can't believe I didn't see it.
1399
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,400
I was just so stubborn
1400
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:07,680
and determined to get out on my own,
I just didn't realise it.
1401
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,040
No, it's all right. I didn't ask.
1402
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:14,520
I meant to, and then you were off
and we were proud of you.
1403
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:18,680
I was just a little sad
that maybe you didn't want to.
1404
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,200
And then I didn't know what to say.
1405
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:22,360
I'm sorry, too.
1406
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:23,760
No, it's all right.
1407
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:26,480
And you're a tough act to follow.
1408
01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:28,280
SHE SCOFFS
1409
01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:28,280
You are!
1410
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:29,800
You are such a great chef,
1411
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,840
and I think I may have been a little
competitive with you,
1412
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:35,640
which is a problem.
1413
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,720
You know, growing up,
1414
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:41,560
I always thought that
1415
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:43,880
whatever restaurant you guys
had at the time
1416
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:45,960
was more important than me
1417
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,080
during the holidays.
1418
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,080
And I know
that's obviously not true,
1419
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:53,960
and you just, you know,
you just wanted to share
1420
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:55,200
what you loved with me.
1421
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,400
Yes, that's right, sweetheart.
1422
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:04,040
With a little help from some people
1423
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:08,040
that I care about, I realised
that even though I haven't
1424
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:10,480
been there lately, I've always
been a part
1425
01:16:10,480 --> 01:16:13,120
of the family business and...
1426
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,440
..that makes me happier
than they ever knew, so...
1427
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:19,120
..thank you.
1428
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:22,520
We'd love to spend Christmas
together
1429
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:24,280
after your big presentation here...
1430
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:26,320
..away from a kitchen.
1431
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:27,360
Yes, please.
1432
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,640
Anywhere you'd like.
1433
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,000
I would love that.
1434
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,400
Hey, it's make-or-break time.
1435
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:40,440
Absolutely.
1436
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,960
They're going to be here in a few
hours, so we have until then
1437
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,880
to figure out a dessert
to end this meal.
1438
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:49,600
Well, I'm here to help, whatever
I can do,
1439
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:50,800
as long as that's all right.
1440
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:55,680
Hey, Mum, do you...
1441
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,840
..do you remember
those little gingerbread horses
1442
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,920
that we made when I was a kid, the
ones with the interesting texture?
1443
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:01,960
Of course.
1444
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,640
Why don't we just make those today?
1445
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:09,520
I mean, we already have dishes that
are really complex and interesting.
1446
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:12,720
You know, maybe ending with
something simple will be sweet,
1447
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:16,200
and we can use your gingerbread
recipe because it's the best.
1448
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:18,120
CLAIRE LAUGHS
1449
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:18,120
I love that. You do?
1450
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:19,320
Absolutely,
1451
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:21,400
but that's not just my recipe.
1452
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,760
You're the one who made me add
the oatmeal and the glaze
1453
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:25,000
when you were nine.
1454
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,400
Don't you remember?
1455
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:28,680
I don't...
1456
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:31,400
..but I'm happy I do now.
1457
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,120
Scarlett and Joanne,
1458
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:47,960
Stetson and Wyatt.
1459
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,120
Good evening, everyone.
1460
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:51,720
Hello again.
1461
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:53,360
Merry Christmas.
1462
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:54,960
Nice to see you both.
1463
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,600
If you're ready, I brought
my appetite.
1464
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:58,640
Shall we?
1465
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:01,920
Why are they in the kitchen?
1466
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:02,960
They insisted.
1467
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,040
You got this. OK.
1468
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:42,600
I must say I wasn't exactly sure
of the meal I'd have today,
1469
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:46,680
but I'm happy to admit
it's all that I hoped for.
1470
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,640
Wonderful, imaginative,
heartfelt Christmas magic
1471
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:51,920
in all its sense.
I absolutely loved it.
1472
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:53,760
Kudos to you, Scarlett.
1473
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:57,160
Not only is it some of your best
work, but it's just what I wanted
1474
01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:58,640
for this time of year.
1475
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,480
And I have a feeling that your
guests are going to crave it, too.
1476
01:19:02,480 --> 01:19:04,240
Way to go.
1477
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:05,720
That's all I needed to hear.
1478
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:10,160
I'm very happy to say that not only
will I stay on,
1479
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,400
but I'd be thrilled
to extend as well.
1480
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:13,640
What...? As long...
1481
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,360
..as we continue to have
Christmases like this.
1482
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:18,600
LAUGHTER
1483
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:19,640
Oh, thank you!
1484
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:20,880
Thank you so much!
1485
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,040
Oh, my...!
1486
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,040
ECSTATIC LAUGHTER
1487
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:28,400
Raise a glass, ladies!
1488
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:29,640
OK. Thank you.
1489
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:30,920
MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES
1490
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,800
It's James. He's...
1491
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,200
..he's outside.
1492
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:39,520
Well, go!
1493
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:41,040
Go! Go! Go!
1494
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:42,080
Do I look OK?
1495
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:43,120
Go! OK, OK.
1496
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:55,440
I cannot believe you're here.
1497
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:58,280
Couldn't miss your most
important day.
1498
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:01,880
I bet it went great, you killed it
1499
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:05,240
and your partner loved your
12-layer holiday souffle.
1500
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:07,720
He did,
1501
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:11,240
but I also made some dishes
I think you would've loved.
1502
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:14,640
I bet.
1503
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:15,720
So...
1504
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:17,880
..I'm sorry.
1505
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,840
I didn't mean what I said, and I'm
sorry that I said you hadn't changed
1506
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:22,960
because that's not true,
1507
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,160
and I know you were just trying to
help me, but...
1508
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,880
..I just wasn't ready to hear it,
and...
1509
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,760
Actually, there's a lot of things
that I haven't been ready to hear
1510
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:34,840
until now.
1511
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:38,000
I'm sorry, too.
1512
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:42,200
You know, I shouldn't have
overstepped and called Wyatt.
1513
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,240
No, I'm glad you did.
1514
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:50,720
I mean, I love teaching, but there's
a lot more that I want to do.
1515
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:52,800
And you're right, I need to take
more chances.
1516
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,520
You know, you've always pushed me
to be better.
1517
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:02,360
HE SCOFFS
1518
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:03,720
You have! And...
1519
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:07,960
..I was wrong about the holidays...
1520
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:10,920
..about a lot of things, but...
1521
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:13,720
..especially about you.
1522
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:19,400
This is the best holiday
season I've ever had.
1523
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:23,040
And I'm tired of playing
it safe with my feelings, too.
1524
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:27,840
I want to spend every Christmas
like this...
1525
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:31,880
..with you.
1526
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:50,760
We are booked through to the end
of the month.
1527
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,000
Yes! Nice work.
1528
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:55,640
Is the class list up yet?
1529
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,600
You'll be teaching three
classes next year
1530
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,280
at the Seasoning of Christmas.
1531
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:00,800
Perfect.
1532
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:02,160
Here it is!
1533
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:03,440
SHE GASPS
1534
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:06,600
Oh...
1535
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,080
Wow! Aww!
1536
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:11,680
That looks fantastic! Amazing!
1537
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:13,280
Oh, thank you.
1538
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:19,400
Now that is the Christmas M-A-G-I-C.
