"Big Cook, Little Cook"

Lauren and Katelyn had a favorite T.V. show when they were here in England in July---"Big Cook, Little Cook", and they were anxious to watch it again this week. Today they finally got to watch it.
The show is about a big cook named Ben and a tiny cook named Small. They own a restaurant, and on every episode they prepare food from their cookbook for a nursery rhyme character or fairy tale character. Each time there is a missing ingredient, and Small has to ride off on his wooden cooking spoon to look for the missing ingredient, which is usually found on a farm. The show then tells how the food is grown, harvested, and processed.
Today's show told about the black and white spotted cow who jumped over the moon,
and the food Big Cook and Little Cook made was "Spotty Trifle" for the cow. It was made of sponge cake with jam between the layers. That was at the bottom of a trifle bowl, then fruit cocktail was poured over it, then jello (In England, jello is "jelly") on top of that, then a layer of sauce ( our pudding), then a final layer of whipped cream. On the very top were "chocolate buttons", which are chocolate candy pieces in the shape of little circles. The whipping cream was the missing ingredient today.

One interesting thing is that Little Cook's real name is Daniel Wright, my dad's name!
Here are photos of a Big Cook, Little Cook book, the girls lying on the couch watching the show, and photos of the show.
