I Can Cook

I Can Cook is a British live-action children's television series, that was broadcast on CBeebies, from 5 October 2009 to 25 December 2012. It was presented by Katy Ashworth, who demonstrates how to prepare and cook simple dishes, while entertaining with songs. Each show focuses on the creation of one dish, either savoury or sweet.

As the programme is aimed at children, the dishes are simple to prepare. Some dishes, such as the grape pizza, offer alternatives to traditional dishes.

As well as encouraging children to cook, the show encompasses wider elements of food education; it uses cutaway scenes to show Ashworth in outside locations, explaining the process of cultivating, and growing any key ingredient in the show's dish.

During 2011, the series was branded I Can Cook With You, and featured Katy travelling around the United Kingdom in her own van, to cook in various outdoor locations, and visiting farms and other locations, where food is produced.

I Can Cook on the Go
In 2012, the series was branded I Can Cook on the Go, and features a new revamped van called Horace, and “pinchy parrot”, and wooden spoon puppets. The Special Ingredient, however, it was not included in this season.
