I Can Cook!

A while back Lee heard on the radio that Katy from cBeebies I Can Cook was doing a roadshow at a shopping centre near us one Saturday morning. We decided to pop down nice & early before the crowds hit the shops!
After much wandering around the maze like shopping centre we found Katy getting ready to make carrot & courgette muffins! Katy is a brilliant presenter & even better in real life! You can tell she loves kids & loves what she does.
Luke & Timmy were both chosen to help Katy cook the muffins. Luke snapped the courgette in half so that it would fit into the grater & Timmy turned the handle on the grating machine.
Katy uses different actions for different ingredients. Here they are being raisins- all squashed up & wrinkly!!
When the muffins were in the 'oven' being 'cooked' Katy sang a song to recap what she had done to make the muffins. The old lady next to me was convinced it wasn't really Katy playing & singing but it was!!
The children all got autographed pictures of Katy. Luke's face here says it all!
Next they made fruit salad with a lady called Joy (who was delighted that Annie-Joy shared her name!). Hands were washed & they all had a go at chopping & peeling the fruit. Our boys were the only kids who knew what all the different fruits were!
When the salad was made they had a blind folded tasting session. Jordan is looking at Luke's taste buds before Joy gave them different fruit to taste & guess what it was!
Katy was very chatty & the kids showed her the fruit salad they had made. We then went to buy goodies to fill the boys Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes which was lots of fun!
Before we left the shopping centre the boys wanted to say goodbye to Katy. They all showed her the toy Wall-E's they had bought (from the pound shop!) & Annie-Joy enjoyed a lovely cuddle with Katy. It was a really exciting adventure & the boys are still talking about it! :o)

How great- what a wonderful person! Good old Lee for 'spotting' it! Sad about the lack of fruit knowledge eh?
Lots of love
