Tilly's 2016 Blog - L.A

Hey everyone, this is my summer blog from all my adventures in L.A! You can check out my pics, recipes and updates from my summer adventures!

Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch

Backstage with The Vamps

L.A is the music capital of America, so Holly and I have been working on our best rockstar pose before we go and meet The Vamps!

Nice guitar jump Jack! He's a big Vamps fan just like the rest of us!

We had a lot of fun helping out the crew this week. Do you think Holly would be good at filming all our adventures?

My Recipe of the Week!

I came up with lots of yummy food ideas for the Vamps this week.

These are my Rocking Ramsay Rice Balls, you can try making them yourself here.

Everybody smile! It was so cool meeting The Vamps and seeing what it was like backstage. I bet it's super scary performing in front of so many people!

Go Jack! I think he would make a great fifth member of The Vamps. What a guitar ace!

We had a break and everyone tucked into the food I made. Maybe I should be the caterer on tour for The Vamps, so I could cook for them all the time!

Touch down time!

Sports fever has been sweeping the locals so we’ve been getting stuck in. Jack, Megan and Holly went to do some American football training with the Blackhawks!

Tilly's Blog

Way to go Meg! Natural born quarterback!

Jack had some skills too and got a touchdown! What a natural.

The Blackhawks were brilliant hosts. Great name too! If you were in an American football team, what would your team name be? Leave a comment below!

My Recipe of the Week!

While the guys were out playing football I was busy cooking up an all American feast.

These are my Touch Down Chips and Dip, you can try making them yourself here.

Next, Jack Megan and Holly tried out their cheer skills with the L.A. Dream All Stars. I think they would make great cheerleaders!

Tilly's Blog

When they got home, I tried my American football skills. Hmm… I need more practice I think!

Tilly's Blog

Wow, Jack really took the cheer spirit to heart, maybe he’s found his calling…

Off to the beach!

While the rest of the Ramsay Bunch went to the beach, I had a day off to catch up on my blog!

Tilly's Blog

Jack, Megan and Holly were in charge - so they had to get everything ready, including the cooking!

What’s your favourite thing to do on the beach? Leave a comment below!

Jack tried out his new gadget with drone expert Maor Luz and got some great selfie tips.

You can get amazing aerial footage with drones – I think Jack did pretty well with this shot!

Mum and dad like to arrive in style. That jet ski looks super fun!

Joining the circus!

This week we went to Las Vegas in Nevada! It's such an incredible city and we got to train with one of the best shows here... the Cirque du Soleil!

Tilly's Blog

Us Ramsays can't resist a challenge - check out my bungee stunt! It's so high up... scary!

Tilly's Blog

Wow that was much harder than it looked - I think my cooking is better than my circus stunts!

Tilly's Blog

I went over to my dad's kitchen to try my hand at professional cooking. Check out the size of the fridge!

My Recipe of the Week!

Dad set me a challenge to create something delicious for his Vegas menu, so I made my circus sliders. You can try out the Salmon Slider recipe here.

Meanwhile, my mum and Holly kept busy with Emily, a make-up artist for the Cirque du Soleil. Looking the part mum!

Dad and his head chef Scott gave their verdict on my circus sliders... it's going on the menu! Dad's so proud!

Wildlife rescue

This week we look a bit silly but very professional in our waders as we visit the Californian Wildlife Centre.

Ramsay bunch in waders

We visited all the sick animals they look after. This is their biggest sea lion, his name is El Jefe – which means ‘The Boss’!

El Jefe

I created my first ever recipe for sea lions. It’s fish gruel, which is like a fish smoothie to help them get the food they need when they can’t eat properly.

Tilly with fish gruel

My Recipe of the Week!

We decided to help out the Wildlife Centre and raise some money with a bake sale! So I made my Rescue Rings, they're round like doughnuts but healthier and delicious. You can make them too by checking out my recipe here.

Rescue Rings

Jack became our secret weapon to help ramp up sales! He gets my 'seal' of approval...

Jack dressed as a sea lion

Wow, everyone loved our 'save our sea lions' bake sale, we sold out! It just shows doing something small can really help!

TV Stardom

Today I'm joining the stars as a guest on James Corden's TV Show! I'm super nervous!

Tilly and her dad with James Corden

I've sent the gang off in search of some classic UK treats so I can make a British food hamper for James!

Time for a quick pre-show selfie with dad. Oh no... embarrassing dad moment!

It's non-stop backstage! Definitely getting nervous now!

Amazing! I can't believe they found scotch eggs in L.A! Good work guys and perfect for James' British food hamper.

Wild West adventures

This week we're off on a roadtrip, to the middle of the desert! I've always wanted to find out what it's really like to be a cowgirl!

Desert road

Of course, we have to make sure we look the part. Bandanas and hats for fashion... Wild West style.

Cowboy fashion

Time to eat - nothing beats outdoor cooking and food in the sun!

My Campfire Ratatouille is the perfect outdoor treat and easy to make without pots and pans! You can try making it yourself with this recipe!

We went to detect ourselves some extra pocket money and dad found gold, but it's fake! He tricked us. Dad is such a joker.

Going to the movies

This week we're having an outdoor movie party - so Jack and Megan are in charge of building our screen. Good work guys!

What everyone else doesn't know is that I'm making a movie of my own... a prank movie! I wonder if Mum will fall for my whoopie cushion prank?
