Anyone seen Big Cook, Little Cook yet?

[Carla]

Quite the trippiest thing to come out of Cbeebies yet!

ooh no, was gonna watch it this morn but dd chose Dora the Explorer instead. Will watch later probably

I saw it advertised and wanted to watch it with DD

When is it on?

And frankly there's more chance of my children asking for Steak Diane than eating those princess pea beds!

We were going to watch it this afternoon - it good then? Is there anywhere online that they list the recipes?

Hi GeorginaA,

I think that you can press the red button on you remote at the end of the programme.

Try \link{http//www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/characterpages/bigcooklittlecook/index.shtml\this. Oh. stuff it. The Cbeebies website then. Don't get your hopes up, though!

DS1 was transfixed this morning - but I agree - I can't see him eating the pea beds! But then I hate peas anyway!

Sorry to be terribly uncool but what does "trippiest" mean?

Cringey - oh the shame of that small one with the Dennis Pennis wig. And the pea and egg tarts looked repulsive!

Well in a fit of parental enthusiasm (I've been wanting to cook with ds for a while but didn't know where to start) we tried the pea and egg tarts, and I think I'm fully qualified now to say they tasted as disgusting as they looked.

ds was quite excited by the programme (I cringed through all of it) and really wanted to get stuck in to making the recipe. At 2.5 years old though I think he was a little young for most of it - he couldn't really do most of the stuff and I ended up doing most with him "helping" by counting out, passing ingredients etc.

I was impressed that he did try what he made, but he didn't eat much of it. Then again, it was disgusting so I don't blame him really.

My biggest nitpick though is that the instructions on the recipe on the website are different to that on the show (plus there's an extra ingredient on the website recipe that never actually gets used?!)

Probably will give it a go again next week, mainly because it fills some time in the day. Yes, I'm that sad.

Interested in this. When is it on? DS loves cooking (well baking). Can't even get away with making pastry without him insisting on joining in...

Pea beds - no thank you

Oh ack - I thought it was just Mondays - it's on every day (8am, 12noon & 4pm on Cbeebies, Bozza) - I can't see me being that interactive daily

Not only that but the next recipe requires A HALF A PACK OF BUTTER?!!!

Bollocks to that. Anyone know of a good cooking with kids recipe book? (Preferably one a 2.5 year old has at least a small chance of coping with?)

The bloke that plays Small cook deserves a medal - poor b***d.

Right everyone, kettle on, child on lap time!

Could anyone, ever, in their wildest dreams fancy either one of those two after watching them in that? They surely have forsaken any idea of a relationship in signing those contracts.

My 4 year old was really looking forward to it but now she's seen it she isnt so keen...I feel so sorry for those two blokes, they don't look as if they are enjoying it at all.

I agree about the pea tarts - what was that all about??

Yet again I notice the ingredients are different on the web than on the show - jelly sweets weren't listed! Listed as icing pens instead...

oh my lord the dennis pennis bloke is scary!
