Junior Masterchef: Little Scientists And Their Culinary Talents

By Girija Narayan

Junior Masterchef India Swaad Ke Ustaad will showcase cooking talent like never before. The show will have children battling it out in the kitchen, showing their culinary skills.
These kitchen stars will churn out dishes with flamboyance, their plates will be a work of art and their knowledge like a food scientist. The Junior Masterchef Kitchen will be their favourite playground ever.
In India, a kid cooking fancy gourmet food or exotic desserts or rich Indian food is something which has never ever been seen before. We are now ready to prove that Indian kids can not only sing, dance, and act but also cook better than anyone.
Judges and Chefs Vikas Khanna, Kunal Kapoor and Surjan Singh Jolly said during the launch yesterday, "We were slightly apprehensive whether children would be able to cook or not. I mean, sure, they will make an omlette, or tea, or maybe even pakodas. But it was only after the audition that we realised that they are in no way behind the original masterchefs!"
