Episode 13 - Rock Bun Redemption!

An emotional episode as the fearless Catcote Cooks crusaders pick themselves up and dust themselves off after last episode's rock bun disaster. Our 'Rock Pools' debacle sent shockwaves around the cookery TV community, with several high profile chefs reaching out to us to offer their condolences. However, the legends of CF2 will not be beaten by buns! After crying a little bit, those fearless warriors picked themselves up, dusted themselves down, and faced failure with a steely determination unmatched by the most tenacious of heroes. Can Dylan and CF2 wrestle victory from the jaws of a soggy rock bun defeat? There's only one way to find out...

LET'S ROCK!

Episode 12 - Grease Musical Special - Rock 'n' Roll Buns!

The Catcote Cooks Crew manage to grab defeat from the jaws of victory in this Grease-Themed Musical Special. As the class are going Grease the Musical for their topic this term, they decided to make Rock ('n' Roll) Buns.

Sadly... the end result is a DISASTER! The buns are more like Rock Pools as opposed to Rock Buns. What a bunch of beauty school dropouts!

Never fear, we will try again and we will be victorious!

Episode 9 - Cake in a Cup!

 This week we have a special guest presenter, EMM to the B who stands in for regular presenter Dylan. She does an amazing job, despite the best efforts of Pete the Teacher to put her off! 

Watch at the 3 minute 17 mark to solve the mystery of how Reece's top went home so filthy and who his mam should send the cleaning bill to!  Also, check out Caitlin's cheeky laugh at the beginning of the episode, it's priceless! 

Note from Pete the Teacher: On editing this, I noticed just how much work I ended up doing for the learners, and how little I let them do themselves.  Not a great example to set and I apologise. Normal service of maximum independence will be on show next episode! 

Episode 8 - Sir Pranceabout's Shortbread Shields!

The Catcote Cooks Crew continue their topic of Sir Pranceabout and the Dragon. The gang practice their heraldry skills by making and decorating Shortbread Shields. They looked great and were delicious!


This episode features a special message for our lovely friend Stephen, who couldn't join Catcote Cooks this week as he had been in hospital for an operation. Get well soon Stephen!

This episode is presented by birthday boy Anth B, with a special, rather grumpy appearance from Anth F.  

Shields ready... CHAAAAAAAAAAARGE!!!
