Hi folks! Of course, the world's greatest celebrity chef needs no introduction, but I'll introduce myself anyway. I'm Chef G., the star of the Chef G. Cooking Channel, your favorite cooking blog and the #1 source of foodie entertainment in the entire world of Southeastern Minnesota.
I have a very special episode in store for you today. For the first time ever, I am going to share center stage with another chef. My co-chef is a rising star in the culinary world, and I believe she might be the only chef in the world who is worthy of working in a kitchen with me.
Together, we are going to prepare Chicken & Wild Rice Soup, which is one of my signature dishes. My long-term fans will remember when I featured that delicious concoction in the first season of The Chef G. Cooking Channel. Those of you who have become fans more recently can check it out by clicking on the link below.

That episode was recipe-driven. Today's episode will be personality-driven, and let me tell you, today's guest chef has plenty of personality. With that in mind, please greet my five-year-old niece, Chef G-ette, with a rousing round of applause. (I think she'll want you to know that she turned SIX years old two days after filming.)

Throughout my introductions, Chef G-ette has been hard at work, prepping and stirring while on a foot stand about 10" off the floor. Let's join her with a series of videos as she slaves over a hot stove.
I think it was just before the next video that Chef G-ette said something that made me think she's been watching too many cooking shows. It went something like this: "Now I'm going to work some Gracie magic." I was impressed.
As you can see, Chef G-ette is precocious, precious, and pretty peculiar. She's fearless, fiendish and funny. I guess you could say she's also mischievous to the max. Nevertheless, we had a blast cooking together, just as I used to have a blast cooking with my own Chef G. offspring back in the day.

| Thank you to Chef G-ette for co-hosting today, and thank you to all you folks who keep tuning in. And a special thank you to Mrs. Chef G. who served as my camera crew and who came up with the crazy idea to post the videos on The Chef G. Cooking Channel. |

| Glad to do it, Loudmouth Chef G. |
Way to go team! It sure looks like great Chef skills run in the family and Chef G-ette has some mighty fine explanatory talents which allowed us all to know what we needed to do. It does add weight to the saying that there can be too many cooks in the kitchen, but maybe not too many chefs. Younger generations are so used to having cameras/video around all the time that they are never awkward or camera shy on film it seems. These will be great memories to go with the great soup. -- Emily
ReplyDeleteOh, and I forgot to ask what 'wildlife' is in your soup, as per your photo description? Over here, it could easily be kangaroo. But I only saw wild rice in your soup, but maybe you snuck in some venison :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, she seemed like a cooking video natural, but you're right that the youngsters these days are used to being on camera. When I was that age, you wouldn't have heard a word out of me while my dad aimed his gigantic 8mm movie camera at me.
DeleteThe "wildlife" error is very embarrassing. I'm going to go back and correct it to "wild rice" as soon as I finish this reply.
