00:00Hello, I'm James McMirovich and behind me is the Way Youth Zone here on the edge of Wolverhampton City Centre.
00:07It's a centre where young people from across the city can come and enjoy a range of activities, after-school activities and learn vital skills.
00:15I'm actually here tonight because one of the things they do is a come-dine-with-me style scheme where they invite people in and various members of the team will cook you a meal
00:25and give the full immersive experience, sort of talk with you and I suppose find out a bit more about you, you can find out a bit more about them and see how it goes.
00:33I'm the guest this evening so let's go in and see what the food's like.
00:37Dessert or whatever we're making. Yeah, go on Leila, can you do that? Do what?
00:41Speak into the camera and say, for dessert we're making cookies.
00:45Hi, I'm Rebecca. Hi, I'm Leila. Hi, I'm Aoife. Hi, I'm Isis. And this is come-dine-with-me!
00:54What are you thinking?
01:13We need the largest saucepan, the largest one.
01:16The door has fixed but Lauren broke it. Lauren broke the door, yeah.
01:23Oh my god.
01:32Egg separation, egg separation.
01:35A song for every occasion. A song for every occasion.
01:39That should be an entertainment.
01:41Nicely done. Stunning.
01:45Oh.
01:52Are you using the yolk? Yes.
01:55We've got to put it on a bit, we've got to put that on the stove for a bit.
02:00And then? I don't know, we put the cheese in here first. We put the cheese in there? Yeah.
02:04Okay.
02:06Who wants to do this? I'm actually, this is so warm.
02:11Go on, Isis.
02:13And it needs to go in the egg, doesn't it? We need to go in here.
02:16Can I sprinkle the salt? In here. Into the egg.
02:18A bit. A bit.
02:25And then we need some to obviously sprinkle on top.
02:33Leila, can you do your laces up for me please?
02:37Will you sit next to the fire?
02:40It might be a bit melted.
02:45Very unfortunate. I'll just look like I'm doing it.
02:57There we go.
03:01Well that was my meal experience at The Way.
03:04Very excellent meal, cheesy garlic bread, spaghetti carbonara and red velvet cupcakes.
03:09All cooked with care and attention by the three girls, led by Rebecca.
03:13So thank you very much to them, thank you very much to everyone involved at The Way.
03:16Get yourself down here and if you're a youngster and you want to find out a bit more about activities that you can do.
03:21There's cooking, there's music, there's sensory rooms, there's plenty of games to play, there's rock climbing walls.
03:28There's all sorts of things to do here as well.
03:30If you're an adult, think about bringing your kids down here.
03:32There's plenty of skills you can learn and if you fancy being part of the Come Dine With Me experience, let the guys know.
