His friends are in for a real treat when they see that Eddie's mum cooks the pizza in their traditional pizza oven. He tops his pizza with black olives, but some of Eddie's friends aren't too sure about olives when they taste them on their own. Eddie hopes to change their minds when they try them on his pizza. He even teaches them a little bit of Italian to really get them into the spirit of things.

On the menu is delicious tandoori chicken cooked in a traditional clay oven called a tandoor. Ria and Rohan use their grandma's special oven to make their version of this classic Indian dish.

Plus learn about India, the land of spices, and find out some interesting facts about garlic, which is the special ingredient in this recipe. Will Ria and Rohan's friends like the taste of garlic in their chicken, and how will they feel about eating with their hands?

They are all looking forward to trying the food, but they were not very keen on fresh coriander, which is one of the ingredients. Connor hopes to change their minds when they taste his vegetarian haggis.
4. Orson's English Bakewell Tart.
Meet Orson, our talented cook from the Midlands. Orson is cooking his very special version of bakewell tart for his friends. Some people say that a bakewell tart recipe comes from the Midlands, so Orson's version should be very good. Let's hope his friends like it too! He is using lots of delicious ingredients like raspberry jam and flaked almonds but is really hoping that his friends will like the lemony taste of the tart, as this is his special ingredient. To make things even more exciting, Orson is throwing his friends an afternoon tea party with fancy dress. This is going to be so much fun!
5. Naima's Algerian Borek.
Naima's family are from Algeria. Naima is cooking a special Algerian borek for her friends to try. Borek is made from pastry, mashed potato, meat, cheese and olives. The great thing about borek is that you can add lots of different ingredients depending on what you like, and that's exactly what Naima is doing today. Naima mashes her potatoes, cuts some spring onions and sprinkles in some cinnamon before she gets the table ready for her Algerian feast. Naima's friends are not sure about the taste of cinnamon when they try it first, but will they like it cooked in her recipe? Let's hope so!

Larry's family come from China. China is famous for its wonderful food, so Larry's friends are very excited to come over for his Chinese-themed meal.

Larry's mum has even made some vegetable fried rice to serve with his dish. His friends try tofu for the first time and their reactions are very mixed. Let's see if they like tofu when it's cooked and eaten with the rest of the food. Larry even teaches them how to eat with chopsticks and they have lots of fun learning!
7. Molly's Saint Lucian Jerk Sea Bass.
Molly brings the flavours of the Caribbean to her home by cooking up a Saint Lucian-themed meal for her friends. She makes a feast of jerk sea bass, spiced potato wedges and a tangy avocado and pineapple salsa.

Molly sets up a special table in her garden and hopes that her friends will like it when they see all the effort she has gone to.

Chocolate challah bread is on the menu today. Lewis's family come from Israel, where challah bread is cooked and eaten on special occasions. It's a dish he really likes to eat, so he has decided to make it for his friends to enjoy too. The chocolate Lewis uses is dark chocolate and might be a little bit different to the type of chocolate that his friends are used to eating, so let's see if they like it in his recipe. Lewis goes to lots of effort to set up a special table for them in his garden so they can all enjoy the bread together. He serves his bread with grape juice to make it taste even better.
9. Charlotte's Irish Boxty.
Charlotte's dad is Irish and he has shown Charlotte how to make Irish boxty for her friends. Ireland is an interesting place and we learn all about it as Charlotte cooks her meal. She uses mashed and grated potatoes to make her boxty, and she flavours the potato mixture with lots of delicious ingredients including fresh rosemary. Charlotte thinks that rosemary smells like fresh air but some of her friends are not so keen and don't really like the taste of rosemary on its own. Charlotte tops her boxty with a cooked egg and serves it alongside some sliced tomatoes. She hopes her friends will really like it.
10. Sienna's Nigerian Jollof Rice.
Sienna's dad is from Nigeria and he has taught her a unique way of making Nigerian Jollof rice. Sienna asks her friends to try tasting fresh thyme, which is one of the ingredients in her Jollof rice, before they come round for a special Nigerian meal. No one is at all keen on the taste of the thyme, but Sienna is confident that she can change their minds when they try some of her food. Sienna's dad has prepared a colourful Nigerian salad to eat with the rice and they even treat their guests to some Nigerian chin chin to enjoy after the meal. What a lucky bunch!
11. Ben's German Zwiebelkuchen.
Talented young chef Ben is cooking German zwiebelkuchen. Ben's parents are German, and zwiebelkuchen is a very popular recipe in Germany.

Ben is adding lots of extra flavour by using caraway seeds. Unfortunately, his friends don't like the taste of caraway seeds on their own, so let's hope that Ben can change their minds when they taste his dish. We find out more about caraway seeds and how they are grown, and we learn more about Germany whilst Ben is busy cooking.
12. Reese's Filipino Cassava Cake.
Cassava cake is a very popular dessert in the Philippines, so Reese is making a very special version for her friends to try when they come to visit. Reese's family come from the Philippines and this recipe is a family favourite. This is a cake that has lots of savoury ingredients such as cheddar cheese and cassava but also includes sweet flavours such as condensed milk and coconut cream. Cassava is a root vegetable and tastes very different when it is eaten on its own, so Reese is hoping her friends will like the taste of it when they taste it in her cake. She's even preparing some delicious fruit to serve alongside it.
13. Valentina's Greek Vegetarian Moussaka.
Valentina is making a Greek vegetarian moussaka for her friends because her family is from Greece.

She finishes it off by making a yoghurt topping and covering everything with grated cheese. Some of Valentina's friends don't like the taste of cooked aubergine on its own. As aubergine is one of the main ingredients in vegetarian moussaka, let's see if Valentina can change their minds when she serves the cooked meal to them.

Episode length: 1 hour
Cameras in space tell stories of life on our planet from a brand new perspective, to reveal new discoveries, incredible colours and patterns, and just how fast it is changing.
Episode 1 - A New Perspective
Satellites follow an elephant family struggling through drought, reveal previously unknown emperor penguin colonies from the colour of their poo, and discover mysterious ice rings that could put seal pups in danger. Using cameras on the ground, in the air and in space, Earth from Space follows nature's greatest spectacles, weather events and dramatic seasonal changes.
Episode 2 - Patterned Planet
Earth's surface is covered in weird and wonderful patterns. The Australian outback is covered in pale spots, the work of wombats; a clearing in the endless green canopy of the Congo rainforest has been created by an incredible elephant gathering; and the twists and turns of the Amazon make a home for rehabilitated manatees.
Episode 3 - Colourful Planet
We think of the Earth as a blue planet, but satellite cameras reveal it to be a kaleidoscope. The astonishing colours of the aurora are towering vertical streaks, hundreds of kilometres high, phytoplankton blooms turn the ocean into works of art, triggering a feeding frenzy, and for a few weeks a year China's Yunnan province is carpeted in yellow as millions of rapeseed flowers bloom.
Episode 4 - Changing Planet
At a time when the Earth's surfacer is changing faster than ever in human history, watch citites grow, forest disappear and glaciers melt. In the ever-growing grey of cities one man is feeding thousands of parakeets; in Sumatra a female orang-utan and her daughter face life in a forest under threat; while in Tanzania local people use satellites to replant a forest, securing the future for a family of chimpanzees.
