I Can Cook


I Can Cook is a children's television series that is broadcast on the BBC Cbeebies digital channel from 2009 to 2015. It is 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 a key ingredient in the show's dish.
