MASTERCHEF JUNIOR’s Nathan talks Season 3, French pastries, and world-wide pastry domination

Today’s second chef-chat is with MASTERCHEF JUNIOR’s Nathan, the wise beyond his years chef famous for the perfect macarons from a few weeks back.  We talked about what he’s making now and what the future holds!  Check it out! I’m am so jealous of a person who can put macarons together in an hour! I read a recipe once and got so flustered I didn’t even try it! The time crunch was definitely really crazy! Thinking of something like that

Chef Jimmy talks MASTERCHEF JUNIOR and his future food empire!

It’s that time of week again – another all new episode of MASTERCHEF JUNIOR airs tonight at 8/7c on FOX, and to celebrate, I once again chatted with some of the young chefs who are trying to win the trophy and the prize money at the end.  Today’s latest chef-testant call is with 12 year old Jimmy about favorite challenges, working with the chef-judges and friends, and what he hopes the future holds.

Chef Ayla tells us about cooking in the MASTERCHEF JUNIOR kitchen!

Today’s second MASTERCHEF JUNIOR Chef-Talk comes from my chat with now-12-year-old Ayla, from St Louis, MO. The excited young chef has made it to the top 6 of the competition that we’ll see go from 6 to 4 in tonight’s all new episode.  She’s quietly made her way through the competition with a few wins along the way, and I spent time quizzing her about when she started cooking and where she sees herself in the future! Was there a

Talking MASTERCHEF JUNIOR with Top 6 Competitor Kayla!

I’ve been spending some time talking to the chef contestants of one of my favorites, MASTERCHEF JUNIOR, as season 3 starts to wind down.  The first of today’s chefs is 11 year old Kayla of the curly hair, infectious energy, and very calm “medic” request that punctuated her first episode (but ultimately led to a top three finish in the challenge)!  We spent some time talking about what got her into cooking and she told me (voice full of 11

Talking MASTERCHEF JUNIOR with Ryan Kate!

In tonight’s all new episode of MASTERCHEF JUNIOR, Gordon’s daughter Mathilda stops by to guide the chefs through cooking a Ramsay family favorite.  As a big fan of the show, I was able to spend some time chatting with 11-year-old Ryan Kate, from Coppell, TX, about being a part of the show, her favorite food to cook, what one dish (in many different varieties) she’d be happy to cook for the rest of her life, and why you should check

MASTERCHEF JUNIOR’s youngest chef, Riley, talks about favorite challenges and why you should watch!

We are big fans of MASTERCHEF and MASTERCHEF JUNIOR here at MToT.  Every Tuesday night, MC Jr has turned into the first show I watch so I can talk about it on Twitter with fellow fans, and dissect how these impressive little kids can cook circles around us! Recently, I had the chance to talk to one of the season’s biggest surprises – 8-year-old Riley, the youngest chef this season who is giving the older chefs a run for their

Quick Take: MASTERCHEF JUNIOR on FOX

Tonight at 8/7c on FOX, the all new cooking competition series MASTERCHEF JUNIOR premieres.  Back again are Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich, and Graham Elliot, but this time around, the competitors are a bunch of excited little kids, some with self-described sophisticated palates, and a seemingly endless knowledge of how to cook.  The show follows the same format as the mothership – home cooks competing for the prize and the trophy (the kids care a bit more about the trophy than
