comes in the fact that I've never

had boys chasing me quite in the same way.

But I swear to God, if Jordan Fisher was chasing me,

I would not be running away,

I'll be staying right where I was,

ignoring the world around me

and letting him love me like he should.

Hi, it's Michael here.

Welcome back to my kitchen for a wee bit of baking.

Now, to celebrate the release of "All the Boys Three",

we are going to be making some vegan chocolate butter,

no, chocolate, oh, we're going to cut this together.

It's going to work. (beep)

We are going to be making some vegan chocolate

peanut butter cupcakes, which Lara Jean

makes in the second film for John Ambrose,

who is the boy she should be with,

none of this Noah Santino nonsense.

(beep)

To start with, we're gonna make some jam,

which is actually really easy

even though I don't tend to make it.

My mum makes it, so what's the point?

So, we've got a saucepan out

and it's super simple.

It's just equal quantities of raspberries

and equal quantities of jam sugar.

So I'm putting in 200 grams of raspberries

and 200 grams of jam sugar.

And then pop just like a wee bit of lemon juice in there.

I don't know if that does anything.

It tastes nice though.

And a wee bit of vanilla as well.

Lovely, delicious.

And then we just mash that up together

with like a fork or something.

Hang on.

Oh.

(drawer banging)

Fucks sake.

There we go.

Got one. (beep)

Mash that altogether a wee bit.

And then we're gonna pop that over the hob

on a low to medium heat, (banging)

slowly bringing it up to the boil.

The seagulls are back.

Fucking seagulls.

(beep)

Okay, so you want to keep an eye on that.

You don't want it to burn.

The reason we're not putting it on to a high temperature,

is so the sugar doesn't catch on the bottom.

But basically, you're going to make it,

swirl together until it kind of forms a liquid.

It's just start boiling.

And then we're going to boil

until it hits a certain temperature, which I can't remember.

I'm gonna have to read my notes.

So, this may be vegan, but it's genuinely delicious,

I promise.

For all you meat-eaters out there, it is genuinely fine.

It's actually, I don't think that you can tell,

which is what vegan baking should be.

(beep)

So, Lara Jean seems to be a stress baker, can relate,

but I promise this one's gonna be fine.

It's genuinely as simple as putting things in a bowl

and putting that into the oven.

I promise it will be okay.

If Lara Jean can do it, you can.

Look at her life choices.

Still bitter about the John Ambrose thing.

Don't mind me.

(beep)

With jam, we're gonna bring it to 105 degrees Celsius

and that's 220 degrees Fahrenheit.

I've got a wee thermometer I did not steal

from the "Bake Off" tent, but you can get thermometers

in most shops or online.

But if you don't want to get a thermometer,

although it is easier,

you just need to put a plate into the freezer.

And basically, once the jam,

if you put like a wee bit of the jam

onto the frozen plate, if it rolls down, it's not ready,

but if it kind of stays in place, it is ready.

Just get a thermometer.

(beep)

That sounded quite professional, didn't it?

Like I knew what I was doing.

Thanks so much.

Thank you.

Maybe my bitterness over Lara Jean's life choices

comes in the fact that I've never

had boys chasing me quite in the same way.

But that's, I swear to God, if Jordan Fisher was chasing me,

I would not be running away,

I'll be staying right where I was,

ignoring the world around me

and letting him love me like he should.

What is with her?

But yeah, no, it probably comes from jealousy

to be honest, very single,

feel free to put your email addresses,

email addresses?

Phone numbers?

WhatsApp?

Tinder?

Grindr?

What do people use now?

Hinge?

Don't know what that is.

(beep)

It's annoyingly slow this process,

but it is worth it.

I can't take my words.

I mean, this is the hardest part of the recipe

and it's literally just standing, waiting.

So, I mean, I think you're going to be okay.

Okay, we must be nearly there.

Hang on.

Annoyingly, you can't just cheat it, you have to wait.

But it is worth getting a jar ready.

Mine says, "Strawberries" on it.

That's irrelevant.

And you can sterilize your jars as well.

If you pop them into the oven at like a medium temperature

for about 15 minutes, it sterilizes them.

My jam is playing hard to get,

it's been like two degrees under what I need it to be

for about five minutes.

But it's pissing me off, that's what I'll tell you.

There you are, don't know what you can do about that.

(beep)

So the jam is teasing me.

It's two degrees off, which is very infuriating,

but not stressful because baking

is definitely therapeutic and never, never challenging.

And it's a really good way of processing your emotions.

No, genuinely, baking is a good way

of processing your emotions.

It's frustrating, but it's been lovely.

I mean, it's saved my skin over the past 15 years,

that it's been.

When are we getting out of lockdown?

I'm actually tired of being in this kitchen.

Wouldn't it be nice for me to be in someone else's kitchen?

That'd be lovely.

I think we might be done.

Are we done?

I need to carry this.

(beep)

Maybe I should try baking for boys

and maybe they'll love me then.

Message that in the comment below with your email addresses.

(laughs) Will you love me if I bake for you?

Please love me.

Please love me.

It's not even a joke now.

Love me. (laughs)

Maybe, 'cause I was about to say to give these to people,

but I can't give these to people,

because we're all in lockdown.

Isn't this great?

Isn't this a lovely moment we're sharing together? (laughs)

You watching me have a breakdown

over some fucking jam.

It's coming out now, I don't care.

I don't care, I'm done.

(beep)

It's very boily, I don't know if you can see that.

Oh!

I need to pour it straight into the jar

without burning yourself.

We have medics on speed dial.

Let's just go with it.

I should've put it into a jug.

My jugs are made of plastic.

Careful.

They may have melted.

No silicone here.

Right?

Oh, have I nailed this?

God, I'm good.

I should go on a tele show.

(beep) Right, jam done.

Pop the, ah, hot!

Pop the lid on that.

And then you keep that wherever you want,

ignore the bit where it says strawberry.

Just keep that in the cupboard

for however long you keep jam for.

I don't know.

That can live there.

Next step, cake.

Don't know what this is.

(beep) Okay,

now it's time for the cake,

which is honestly the most simple cake

I have ever made in my entire life.

And I actually choose it even though it's vegan.

So I mean, who is the real winner here?

Not me.

Right.

So, we start off with 190 grams of plain flour.

And I've been asked to be sexy with this.

And I'm not quite sure how to be sexy with flour,

so I'm just going to hope that the edit makes this work.

(Michael laughs)

Oh!

How can you make flour sexy?

Who knows?

Now we need to try and make a 100 grams

of caster sugar sexy.

(Michael laughs)

Oh, didn't even come out.

There you are, that's sexy.

That sexy thing. (laughs)

Shouldn't be spanking ramekins.

And then you also need to add a 100 grams

of light brown sugar.

If you even listening to what I'm saying,

congratulations.

That's not sexy.

And then 40 grams of cocoa powder.

That color is certainly not sexy.

And then you're going to sift all that together.

If you miss what I was saying,

because you were distracted by how sexual

I was just then, that is 190 grams of plain flour,

a 100 grams of caster sugar,

100 grams of light brown sugar, and 40 grams of cocoa.

And you don't want to like mash the lumps in.

Ugh.

(beep)

I'm not a very sexy person.

This is why I'm single.

Lara Jean doesn't have to be sexy.

She just had to be stressed.

And she had two boys after her.

Nonsense.

Is that sexy?

(laughs) The things I do for money, hey.

Not that, not that, I don't do that.

I support that obviously, but we're in a lockdown.

Right. (laughs)

We need to put some bicarbonate soda and some salt in.

Both these containers look the same.

I'm gonna have to take...

Oh.

That's bicarb.

Oh, gross.

Oh, it's really horrible.

She's a spitter.

One teaspoon of bicarb.

Oh, that was horrible.

Don't do that at home.

About half a teaspoon of salt.

I shouldn't keep my salt in these tubs,

it's my own fault.

All that is in one bowl, pop it to the side,

along with your dignity and get a second bowl.

Into this bowl, we're gonna add

240 milliliters of cold water.

85 mil of oil.

I'm not going to be sexy.

I'm just going to pour it in.

And then you also need one teaspoon of lemon juice.
