Start them young

                                               Sammy and Bella


The whole family love to watch My Kitchen Rules on 702 Astro, on Fridays.  Yesterday was the finals for which team is the best cooking team.

This is the 2nd season and it is our favorite cooking show.  We look forward each  time to see  the meals they set up at their own homes, their presentation, the all sorts of dishes they will be cooking, and the 2  gorgeous judges Manu and Pete.  The contestants kind of grow on us and gradually from the first episode to the finale, we got to know them better and see what they are  about .  This Aussie production has got a wonderful line-up of people, who are interesting in their own ways with  their charms and quirk. And of course, their passion for cooking.

In the last season the winners were the beautiful and talented  ladies, Leigh and Jen.  Yesterday 2nd season  winners were Sammy and Bella.   We also got to know yesterday that these 2 young cooks and sisters had been helping their grandmother in the kitchen since they were 3 years old. 3!!!! And if they started cooking at 3, it is no wonder by the time they got to their present age, early twenties,  their cooking is as good as real professional chefs, a comments given to them by the guest judges, and were better than the older and more experienced contestants. At the beginning, all the contestants were good, but Sammy and Bella had proven to have the talent, skills,  perfectionism and tenacity that kept them safe from eliminations and finally winning the contest.  It  shows that you do not win by talent alone.

So, moral of the story, get your daughters or sons to help in the kitchen as early as they can, provided you keep away all sharp objects.  Let them put cherries on the cakes or roll out some dough and by the time they grow up, they will be amazing cooks like Sammy and Bella.
