MUMBAI: A majority of kids don’t know French fries come from potatoes! Or that ketchup is made from tomatoes. Many children even don’t have a basic understanding of where food comes from. But if they are inspired to step in to the kitchen and cook a meal from start to finish, they will discover that some of their favorite foods come from fruits, vegetables and other “real” products.

The show, anchored by Chef Shipra Khanna, the winner of MasterChef 2 India, will have a bunch of enthusiastic kids, each week, featuring different original recipes that children will learn to make themselves.
“This specially created kiddies’ show has taken a more mischievous and scientific approach to things. What sort of food makes you fat? What turns you green? What is the nutritious value of leafy monsters? This is the sort of stuff that children thrive on, opening up their enquiring little minds. Hopefully, these kids, by the end of each episode, will know how to cook; and realize just how much fun cooking can actually be,” said SK Barua of FOODFOOD.”
