| Calling all koodies: Cooking show for kids coming to US Posted: 21 Jan 2013 07:34 PM PST NEW YORK, Jan 22 — Is your kid a "koodie?" Do they know the difference between hollandaise and béarnaise sauce already and scoff with disdain at the idea of boxed macaroni and cheese for lunch? The "MasterChef" TV franchise has put out a casting call for kid foodies who could be the next Thomas Keller. "Junior MasterChef" in the US is looking for kids between the ages of 8 and 13 with an avid interest in food, impressive knife skills, a broad culinary repertoire and Michelin stars in their eyes, according to food blog Eater.com. It should come as no surprise that the kid version of "MasterChef" is on its way to the US, given that versions already exist in France, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. US network Bravo also piloted a kiddie version of "Top Chef" that put teenage chefs into the proverbial fire. The show, however, failed to take off. Not sure if your koodie has what it takes to be on "Junior MasterChef"? A YouTube video of the semi-finals from the British version of the show has a batch of 11- to 12-year-olds expertly filleting fish with a pair of pliers and whipping up impressive dishes such as prawn curry with raita yogurt, lime and chili chicken with crushed sweet potatoes and chili sauce, and bream in a shallot cream sauce. — AFP/Relaxnews Above is a UK version of "Junior MasterChef". |
