As I sit and watch one of the episodes of this gastronomic craziness by children,
I am totally awed. Each child creates a wonderful, mouth-watering dish. Not simple
stuff like omelettes and all, but some really god-awesome looking stuff and by
the judges reactions, awesome in taste too.
A few things that I totaaaaallllly (Yes, I write like that sometimes) adore about the show are:
The judges are so lovely. Never a harsh word! Criticism is also done so politely, you just never feel the jab.
'I reckon this needs a little more salt.'

There is always a word of encouragement. No, it’s not an unnecessary ego boost! It is genuine love and concern for the piece of art on the plate.
The children have so
much innocence in them. You can see pink cheeks, a twitchy nose, restless
fingers and nervous eyes. Something we miss in the competition, these days,
with the older people.
They are children,
still almost no tears and drama!
Another thing I love is, as they take the names of the children who have qualified, they cut to an image of their dish.

Thank God! I can never
remember who made what in all the yum-ness.
Two instances that
almost got me to tears was when one of the girls used plastic ramekins to bake
her cake, and the moulds melted in the oven. I think it was Gary, if I am not
mistaken, who smelt the burning plastic. Not only did he help her get the
plastic moulds out, he also helped her get her cake out of them — without it crumbling!
And yes, she served that to the judges.
Another instance when
one of the boys set his oven on the grill mode, and his meringue got burnt. He
was crestfallen, but Gary to the rescue again. He helped the little boy change
the mode and instructed him to wait till it cooked entirely.
Yes, this one was
served too, with Gary saying, ‘I love my meringue a little burnt.’
Am just waaaaaaaiiiiiiting
(you were warned) to watch more. He show has a magical spirit about it. J
PS: How does Anna look
so great with a job that has her eating such yum stuff all day? Life can be so
unfair!
