A person sings FEEL GOOD FAVES.

People sing, FEEL GOOD FAVES.

A girl with long hair in a braid and glasses wears a pink shirt. She stands at a kitchen counter with a large bowl and various ingredients.

She says, HI, I'M LAUREN,
AND ONE OF MY FAVOURITE
THINGS TO DO IS HELP MY MOM
MAKE A MEAL FOR MY FAMILY.
GNOCCHI ARE SO EASY
AND FUN TO MAKE.
IT'S LIKE MAKING A CRAFT
WITH FOOD,
A FOOD CRAFT!
A CRAFT YOU CAN EAT!
ALL YOU NEED IS TWO EGGS,
A KILOGRAM OF RICOTTA,
AND TWO CUPS
OF FLOUR.

Lauren gestures to the ingredients around the bowl. Beside her, text reads 2 eggs, 1kg ricotta cheese, 2 cups (400g) of flour. Lauren knocks an egg against the side of a bowl twice.

A person asks, WHO’S THERE?

Lauren cracks the egg into the bowl. She adds the other ingredients. She bangs on a measuring cup to empty it of its ingredient.

Lauren says, NOW YOU JUST NEED
TO STIR IT ALL UP.

In a time-lapse, Lauren starts to mix the ingredients.

She says, THIS IS GONNA TAKE FOREVER.
YOUR DOUGH MIGHT BE
A LITTLE TOO WET.
YOU MIGHT JUST HAVE TO ADD
A LITTLE BIT MORE FLOUR.

Lauren adds flour to the bowl.

She says, THAT SHOULD BE GOOD.
ONCE IT FORMS A DOUGH,
ROLL IT OUT ONTO
A FLOURED SURFACE.

Lauren pours dough out of the bowl.

She says, OH, WOW.

On a floured surface, the dough is shaped like a log.

Lauren says, THIS LOOKS LIKE
THE PERFECT LOG.

A person begins slicing the dough.

Lauren says, MAKE SOME LOGS.

A person rolls some dough into a narrow log. Lauren smiles. She tosses a log around in her hand.

Lauren says, AND THEN CUT UP
THE LOGS.

A person cuts a log into square pieces.

Lauren says, THESE ARE YOUR GNOCCHI.

Lauren displays her Gnocchi.

(Singing)

Lauren says, WHILE THE GNOCCHI
ARE CHILLING IN THE FRIDGE...

Lauren tosses a gnocchi back and forth in her hands. She drops the gnocchi.

Lauren says, …I'M GONNA GO TO
THE GROCERY STORE
AND GET SOME FOOD SO
I CAN DONATE IT
TO THE LOCAL FOOD BANK,
AND OTHER KIDS CAN ENJOY
THEIR FAVOURITE MEAL
WITH THEIR FAMILY, TOO.

Two people enter a store.

Lauren narrates, I GOT SOME PASTA SAUCE,
CANNED TOMATOES,
PASTA,
RICE, TUNA,
PEANUT BUTTER, AND CANNED FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES.
NOW I'M GONNA DROP
MY FOOD OFF
AT THE LOCAL FIRE STATION
IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

Lauren carries her bags of food to a building with a sign that reads, Toronto Fire Station 143. Back in her kitchen, a clock ticks. Text reads, 2 hours later…. An alarm beeps. Lauren holds up a gnocchi. She stands with a tray of gnocchi.

Lauren says, LOOKS LIKE THE GNOCCHI
ARE CHILLED.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO NOW
IS ADD THEM TO A POT
OF SALTED BOILING WATER, AND LET
THEM COOK FOR ONE MINUTE,
OR AS SOON AS THEY
FLOAT TO THE TOP.

Gnocchi begin to float to the top of a pot of boiling water.

Lauren says, THEN, ADD THEM TO YOUR FAVOURITE
PASTA SAUCE AND ENJOY.

Lauren enjoys a bowl of gnocchi.
