If you thought these kids were kitchen whizzes wait until you discover their other secret talents.
CASSIDY Sports star: Overachieving Cassidy might have mastered the art of chicken and mushroom risotto but her other passion is sport. A fan of 2009 AFL Premiership winners Geelong, this 12-year-old only child is a title holder in her own right, winning a calisthenics comp in 2008. She’s been cooking since she was “a baby in a bouncer”, but still hates green vegetables.
JACK Travelling minstrel: These days 12-year-old Jack can create a towering croquembouche, but his early attempt to make one for a mate collapsed in the car on the way to a party. Jack journeyed throughout the UK recently and can’t wait to return to travelling. “The town in Scotland called Anstruther was awesome!” he reports. He complements his cooking by playing the bagpipes, double bass and trumpet.
LUCY Globetrotter: Lucy, 11, has already spent a year studying in America. Aiming to become a food technologist, her trademark dish is boudin blanc sausage, a speciality of France, Germany and Louisiana, USA. But it’s her biscuits that won her the Albion Park Show prize, making her an award-winning chef. Lucy loves singing and also her two brothers.
