The Junior Master Chef

I woke up too early after a late night yesterday. I had breakfast with the paper :-)

Later I added more photos to my facebook album "Places I've been to".

I had a very lazy day. Late arvo I watched the Australian Junior Masterchef. I loved it!

I know the show from when I lived in Australia and their version is the funnest one around with great judges. Never anything nasty, always honest but in a good spirit. The Australian version is always about the positive and fun things, unlike other countries'.

So in the junior competition it's kids cooking. And if you think they can just make scrambled eggs or something, you are sooooooo wrong. Here are a few of the kids standing before the judges.

The judges.

This is Matt Preston, one of Australia's leading food critiques if I'm not mistaken.

The kids all know him from the "big" Master chef they all watch ;-)

They were surprisingly well with the kids.

And then they started cooking...

And baking...

Until it was their turn to be judged!

And they loved it :-)

What did you make?

Hold on, that's not scrambled eggs! There was also this girl and she made Barramundi with a crusty macadamia topping. Another boy boiled chicken in water and made rolls from that with a spinach and nuts and something else filling. The things they produced in the time that I can bake over fries and fish fingers was just mind blowing...

And then I walked in to town. I spotted this tiny mural along the way on the Leidse gracht.

I went to Mulligans. But I can't remember why!
