Here comes Sam.....
My nephew just turned 8 years old and is obsessed with cooking, and more specifically, grilling.
Here he is with his favorite birthday gift, a mini Weber grill and the requisite grilling utensil.
Need I mention his favorite entertainment is cooking shows on TV?
Is the Food Network impacting young lives or what? He probably has registered at Williams-Sonoma for his Christmas wishlist. A panini maker? A gelato machine?
To think I only got a chintzy 30 minutes with Julia Child once a week on PBS when I was that age....
Maybe one day he'll let Aunt Annie come on his show and peel vegetables.
That photo and title is so cute...
ReplyDeleteI enjoy watching cooking shows,
and if they have an impact on young kids I'd say its a good thing, much better than those violent cartoons.
Wow a future chef in the making I think! What gorgeous hair he has too. He reminds me of my five year old who has a similar color and cut. I bet everybody comments on it. Sally x
ReplyDeleteDear Anne,
ReplyDeleteI think that it's wonderful that children as young as Sam are interested in cooking. We need the new generation to cook and eat healthily. Well done Sam ! He will be like Jamie Oliver and have his own TV show by the time he is a teenager !! XXXX
That's fantastic Anne, how wonderful to have such a passion at such a young age...he's cute too, perhaps the next Curtis Stone? Wish him a lot of fun and many many culinary creations ahead x :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how cute is he? Love it. Love that his family (and you) are encouraging his passions. xo
ReplyDeleteHow great is this?! He looks like a pro...do I see a showdown coming on, Bobby Flay?!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to find one's passion at an early age!
ReplyDeleteNow I will take my dog with mustard please.

What 8 yr. old wants a grill for his bday? Hilarious, but a beautiful thing to know your passion so early!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

How great is that gift? Wish we'd had food network around when I was a kid, it's very possible I'd be in a different line of work. Hope Sam gives Bobby Flay a run for his money!
