Hello
and welcome to Fridgecam
If you eat food...
...then this is the show for you.
Coming up in our fridge today
it's all about the most important meal of the day - breakfast.
You ask our chefs anything about breakfast
at our Chefs table (no apostrophe no law suit)
and we show you how to make the ultimate granola!
Butt first...
Good Morning!
We have just woken up...
not together --
...and it's time for a battle
I'm gonna Coco Pop your ass in this one
*laughs*
Now my favourite breakfast cereal of all time has to be -
Steak!
...has to be Coco Pops
so when I heard we were doing the ultimate breakfast cereal battle
I thought, I've got to include Coco Pops somewhere
so I've come up with, and wait for this...
The...
Popping coke Coco Pops caaake pop popsicles!
Uhh, again, if you wanted to hear that again, that it's --
*BEEP*
...and it starts by making the cake pops for my
popping coke Coco Pop cake pop popsicles,
that means melting some butter in a pan with some cocoa
adding some water.
*explosion*
It's too late for second guessing,
too late to go back to sleep,
it's time to trust my instincts,
close my eyes and leap.
It's time I try defying gravity,
kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity,
and it starts...with chocolate ganache.
Chop up dark chocolate.
Heat double cream.
Melt the chocolate.
*Sadly* I may as well give up now, I'm just making your standard bowl of granola
with a few extra ingredients:
I've got some fried chicken, some gravy, some
bourbon-soaked blueberries, some honey and some hot sauce!
And it starts with your fired chicken -
cut up your chicken into bite-size pieces
and then let that soak overnight in buttermilk and some hot sauce.
What is that?
I thought it'd be relaxing...
It's now time to move on to the rest of the cake mixture
so, that is gonna be flour, sugar,
uhh, and some baking soda,
into a bowl, mixed together,
and (apparently), a pinch of salt.
Then I can pour in my wet stuff,
mix it all up, and it's gonna be a great cake batter.
James, the brief was pyjamas.
I sleep naked Ben...
I'm not gonna get sucked into the hilarious banter today because
I don't know if you've noticed, but my recipe is fully
reliant on visuals,
if the visuals look terrible, this is gonna end up bad.
I'm genuinely concerned it's gonna end up like one of those 'nailed it' memes.
The last step for making my cake for my cake pops
for my...you know what I'm making
...is whisking together buttermilk and egg,
before folding that into the rest of the cake batter,
into a pan, and then into an oven for about twenty minutes
at 180 degrees celsius.
KAPOW!
*whispered* (Don't forget the vanilla extract!)
The hot double cream has now perfectly melted my
dark chocolate, so that now goes into a bowl,
and then into the freezer to set up.
It's white chocolate panna cotta time. Got some double cream --
MIKE: ... milk, gonna heat that up in a pan... BARRY: The milk for my cereal...
This kitchen ain't big enough for the two of us
especially with him in it--
Next up, I'm gonna be making my popsicles--
You haven't got a camera!
Do you know what? It doesn't matter *laughs*
Now I'm creating the milk for my cereal,
I'm melting some butter, in a pan, then adding the flour in,
then I'm adding some boiled milk into that with a bay leaf...
So you're putting milk into your milk?
...well I'm making a kind a of milk for my cereal,
it looks like just milk, but actually, it's delicious and so much more than just milk.
JAMIE: But it has got milk in it? BARRY: Yeah.
So you're using milk to make milk...?
You're milking this...
Now we know Barry always goes outside of the box with his brief...
He does.
...I think that this is so far outside of the cereal box he's
even confused himself.
He doesn't really know what he's doing but
I like the idea behind the whole savoury - looks sweet is savoury thing
All the flavours will work and it looks like a bowl of cereal.
Granola fried chicken as well...
...fried chicken.
I'm gonna make some white chocolate panna cotta...
MIKE:... so that's double cream and milk JAMIE: Popping...
MIKE: heated up in a pan JAMIE: ...coke,
MIKE: to a simmer, and then add some sugar JAMIE:...cake Coco Pop cake pop popsicles.
MIKE: I know you're pulling focus to them, you're not even listening to me
that is so out of order.
Well I'm done. You're never gonna find out how to
make a white chocolate panna cotta.
Double cream and milk, in a pan, heated to a simmer
added sugar, and then some white chocolate.
In the meantime I'm going to do some gelatine in some cold water.
Do some gelatine?
Yeah, like this look...
Gelatine. Done. *laughs*
You'll like this bit...
Yeah?
Ooh...
*gasps*
Whiskey bluebs!
*sigh*
Bourbon soaked blueberries
Next up, I've gotta make the popsicles for my
popping coke Coco Pop cake pop popsicles
It's getting easier to say that
We're sick of it.
It's gonna start by pouring some coke into a bowl and
leaving it for half an hour so it goes nice and flat,
we're gonna add in the juice of half a lime,
some double cream and liquid glucose
mix it all together until it's nicely combined,
and then pop it into some silicone bake-ware
from Ben's personal silicone bake-ware collection...
And then how do you cook popsicles? That's
right children, in a freezer...
...until they're frozen.
*laughter*
How? *laughs*
Now when it comes to Jamie's dish, he is so tongue-tied with
the title, that he's kind of forgetting that he's actually
got to deliver a recipe.
And I think the recipe's gonna be tough for him
because he's gotta move quickly - it's gonna melt and
he is not good at moving quickly.
Speed is not his thing.
There is something I forgot to mention...
Finish the recipe.
...pop the lid on, pop some sticks in...
But it's only half full
Yes.
Because the other half is going to be made up of my cake pops,
that's what makes it into a pop--
*BEEP*
So after soaking your blueberries in Bourbon
and creating a, a white sauce,
what's next for your breakfast I hear you ask...
Gravy.
Yeah I know.
To make my gravy...I've got some gravy
*chuckling* that I'm gonna mix with some barbecue sauce.
So the first step to making your gravy is: 'Get some gravy'?
Bring that to a boil and reduce it by half.
And now to panne my chicken,
I've got one bowl of my blitzed granola,
another bowl full of flour, oregano and garlic powder
and the middle bowl: egg.
JAMIE: The perfect breakfast companion.
Chopped white chocolate goes into the simmering cream...
...with sugar.
Think back to that time that I told you I'd done some galetine,
well I'm gonna take that gelatine out...
You did do the gelatine in the cold water
...I'm gonna squeeze it,
ugh...
Sorry.
...good aim, right?
Good morning to you.
And then that's going in my white chocolate,
sugary,
creamy mix.
Once this is dissolved this gets poured into a jug
with a spout to cool down, because I'm messy.
And you won't believe this 'cos I'm so efficient,
I have taken my ganache out of the freezer.
Here it is.
Here is a bubble tea straw.
I'm gonna stick this...
in the middle...
because this is gonna be the foundation
of my trickley, honey nut cornflake,
white chocolate ganache,
panna cotta...
*laughter*
I'm gonna make the icing for the cake pops
for the...
cake pop part of... you know...
whatever.
What that's gonna be is melting some butter,
and then adding in some
buttermilk, some cocoa powder, a little bit of vanilla extract,
folding that into some icing sugar
and then when the cake is completely cool,
we can crush it all up, fold in the icing,
and make our...
popping coke cake Coco Pop c--
BARRY: You lost it.
You'll never guess what I've done: melted some more chocolate.
This is white chocolate.
*laughs*
And now it's melted I need to chill it so it becomes nice and pasty.
Like James?
Recap:
Ganache - chilled.
Straw - in.
Panna cotta - chilled.
Pour, on ganache.
And now, I'm gonna scatter
these honey nut cornflakes
all over, so it looks like...
JAMIE: Are they the crunchy ones?
...a bowl full... they are crunchy yeah. JAMIE: Right.
And now it goes back into the fridge to chill, like all of the other steps.
So, Mike's is deceptively simple...
But deceptively clever.
...oh yeah yeah, everyone likes dark chocolate and white chocolate,
Plus the whole defying gravity thing,
everyone loves wicked. I think
he can pull this off BUT if it doesn't look spectacular... JAMES: Yeah...
...there's not a lot else going for it.
Now my chicken's all paneed it's time to--
...deep fry my chicken.
170 for about 4 or 5 minutes.
This has set up really nicely, and
my white chocolate is now a paste--
BARRY: Ooh MIKE: Oop, Oi...
BARRY: Sorry MIKE: fingers out.
Now I'm going to paint my straw,
with this, and then I'm gonna construct.
Now my cake pops...are in the silicone,
I need to get them back out of the silicone
so they stay in their hemi... sphemi... semi...
half-circle...things,
um, and then I need to put them onto the sticks
on the other side of the popsicles,
they can go back into the freezer for a few minutes to set up...
MIKE: Is it?
So I used the white chocolate to stick the honey nut flakes of corn
to the straw and go up. Now I've got a base layer,
that's gone back into the fridge to set up.
I can patch that up and make it look good later
but for now I'm gonna tape these
to this.
You'll see.
These have set up in the freezer which means we can
now put our toppings on.
We're gonna put some crushed up Coco Pops
AND some popping candy BECAUSE
they're popping coke Coco Pop cake pop popsicles.
But we have to do this quickly because we don't want them to melt.
*VIOLIN PLAYING*
Welcome back to another Chefs' table and
given that today's theme is breakfast we thought
we'd carry that right the way through with some
questions from you.
So it does feel a little bit wierd
to place raw dough into boiling water but
what that does is it kind of sets the outside of the bagel
and then when it bakes it stops it rising too much,
which is why you get a really dense, chewy bagel. JAMES: Ahhh.
BARRY: And please don't say salt, James.
Oh no, I was...
...I was about to say salt. I actually would never put
sugar in my porridge, I would start with a little pinch of salt,
and then I would add something like fresh fruit,
or fruit compote, so cooked fruit,
or just some honey.
So natural sweetness?
Natural sweetness is what it's all about.
A great make-ahead breakfast if you're not gonna
go to the baking of making muffins,
something like a bircher muesli, so grate up some apples,
mix it through with oats and nuts
and seeds, a little bit of sweetness if you want from honey,
and it needs overnight 'cos you're not really cooking it
and therefore it needs the time for the fruit juice
and the milk to actually soften the oats
and then you just grab a bowl and away to go and its amazing.
JAMES: It's good.
Ooooohh, so many 'cos everywhere has their own awesome breakfasts
I feel like we're gonna have different answers to this...
Costa Rica. Rice and beans kind of gallo pinto
it's absolutely brilliant and also
while I was there we had guava jam.
So we would typically have jam on toast
maybe as a breakfast item,
but it was a tropical fruit and guava jam was amazing.
I've done more European, so I like cheese and meats
and um I recently had like, heart for breakfast as well
which was... interesting, BEN: Bold...
smoked heart.
One of the best savoury options I've had which was in Hong Kong
and that was congee, so it's rice porridge
but it was savoury and it was finished with kind of
seafood and bits and it was an amazing breakfast.
Please keep sending us your questions for the next Chefs' Table
but that's it, I feel like we could talk about breakfast all day long,
but if we don't get back to the cereal battle,
*whispered* it will never end.
*dramatic music*
I'm so glad the brief was cereal and not breakfast
'cos I wouldn't want any of these for breakfast.
I'm gonna start with this one because it's savoury,
which in itself is confusing.
Every flavour in that works,
all the textures work...it's still a bit confusing.
But I love it.
Now for this one.
All in one?
All in o-- well, yeah.
I wasn't that impressed, until you put it in your mouth and
then you kind of get this fun thing going on because it's
cold and-- BARRY: You need to get out more mate
and then you try it but you get the coke and the icicle
and the popping-ness and the creamy chocolate.
This one, without fail is the best-looking one,
but it's very simple, in flavours. JAMIE: Mmm hmm
Now that's a lovely description Ben but you have to pick a winner...
I am gonna go for the popularity vote and am gonna go
for this one, I think it looks great... MIKE: Awwwww
*clapping* MIKE: Thanks mate ...however,
BARRY: Always wants to be one of the popular kids... BEN: my vote
only counts for part of it
'cos you guys get a vote too, there's a poll on you tube
go and put your vote in there, and comment down below
and tell us why you think each one of these was your favourite,
plus you can get the full recipes on SortedFood.
Yay.
Don't do that! *laughter*
Don't know why you've removed your trousers...
Because it's boiling in here, Ben it's unbelievable!
We were robbed!
I don't think we were, Mike's recipe was a deserving
winner 'cos it looked amazing,... JAMIE: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but you know how it all came about, right?
Yeah.
So Mike found a picture of that recipe on the internet,
BARRY: Right... and then he came to us and went *claps* 'Boys, we should do a cereal battle.
Ok, right well let's-- next-- in the future,
you guys tell us what we do for Ultimate Battles.
JAMIE: Exactly! Comment down below. BARRY: Don't let Mike give any of 'em again. JAMIE: No!
Comment down below, let us know what we should do for the next Ultimate Battles,
make sure you subscribe because we will make you hungry.
I reckon that Fridge Cam had everything...
It had too much of certain people,
I know! There was too much of James!
JAMIE: *laughing* Too much-- too much James... BARRY: His bare chest that was
BARRY: disgusting! JAMIE: bare chest, I saw Mike's bum,
JAMIE: I'm not complaining but just... you know, you don't need to see that. BARRY: Oh too much!
And if you stick with us, it's going to have
THE best granola, known to man,
on our After Taste.
Come with us now, otherwise we'll see you next week,
goodbye! JAMIE: Goodbye!
JAMIE: *sighs* BEN: Well done.
BARRY: What is that?!
JAMIE: Take that off your head... BARRY: Take it off!
*clapping*
*laughter*
BEN: It's ridiculous, right?
JAMIE: That does not look like it fits.
BEN: It doesn't BARRY: No...
JAMIE: Um, so you're gonna make granola
that is different from the granola that Barry just
used in his... BEN: Yes... BARRY: Are we using chicken?
BEN: We're going for DIY, awesome, fruity, nutty granola
that you're gonna love.
