The offspring of a frozen waffle and a Yeti and his best friend, a smiling rice cake, become familiar with different kinds of food (and their use in cooking), get to know foreign cultures and famous chefs, learn to accept people with disabilities (and properly communicate with them) and visit renowned restaurants. Both of them admire Julia Child and are puppets (not in the figurative sense). ___ A little cooking, a bit of travel and some animated singing vegetables. Try to imagine a cross between Sesame Street and Bourdain’s No Reservations (compared to which this is also appropriate for vegetarians). It may sound like a farce that mixes together so many ingredients that the result is inedible. In reality, however, it is a humorous, informative (but by no means didactic), positive, inclusive, creatively inventive and mostly unobtrusive show for preschool kids that presents food as something of value that should not be taken for granted, as something that isn’t just taken out of the fridge or bought at a fast-food restaurant, and through which the world can be discovered and friendships established. ___ Despite the fact that I haven’t been a member of the target group for a quarter of a century and, at the very least, I am able to cook pasta, I have enjoyed every episode so far. It would be a shame if this slipped through the cracks in the onslaught of new VOD content.
