  • February 6, 2004

Big Cook Little Cook is a popular British children's television show that features two cooks, Ben and Small, who cook up delicious meals and snacks for their customers. In the show, Big Cook (Ben) is a large chef who works in a café, while Little Cook (Small) is a small chef who lives in a tiny house that he shares with his pet, a talking wooden spoon named Wooden Spoon.

Season 1 Episode 3 of Big Cook Little Cook is titled "Old MacDonald", which follows the two chefs as they prepare a feast for their friend, Farmer MacDonald. Farmer MacDonald has been working hard in his fields all day, and is looking forward to a meal that is both filling and nutritious. Ben and Small decide to make him a hearty meat and potato pie, and they gather all the ingredients they need from the café's kitchen and the garden outside.

As they cook, the two chefs sing the popular nursery rhyme, "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," which provides the inspiration for their meal. They use fresh vegetables from the garden, like carrots, onions, and potatoes, as well as pieces of beef that they cut up into small cubes and fry. Small kneads the pastry dough and then rolls it out into a circle, which they use to line the baking dish. Ben and Small carefully layer the beef, vegetables, and gravy in the dish, then cover it with another circle of pastry to make the top crust.

Once the pie is assembled, the chefs put it in the oven to bake, and they eagerly await the chance to try a slice. Farmer MacDonald arrives just as the pie is finishing, and he is delighted to see what his friends have cooked for him. He praises them for their hard work and creativity, and says that he has never tasted anything quite like it before.

As they sit down to eat together, the chefs and Farmer MacDonald sing more nursery rhymes and share stories about their day. They talk about the joys of working in the outdoors, and how important it is to take care of the animals and plants on the farm. Ben and Small stress the importance of eating healthy and nutritious food, and they encourage Farmer MacDonald to try new things in his diet.

By the end of the episode, the three friends are full and happy, and they thank each other for a wonderful meal and a great day. Big Cook Little Cook is a heartwarming and entertaining show that teaches kids about cooking, healthy eating, and the joys of spending time with friends and family. Whether viewers are young or old, they are sure to enjoy the fun and creative adventures of Ben and Small as they cook up a storm in the kitchen!
