3-year-old hosts an online food show
If you have had your fill of cookery shows on TV, wait till you have watched three-year-old cook show host Daria, telling you what really taste is all about and why you need to junk the fancy counter.
Qyuki, a multi-platform media company and Seher Bedi, one of the pioneers of millennial entertainment, recently announced Timeout Daria, an online food show aimed at the six to 18-year-old age group.
Sagar Gokhale, Network Head of Qyuki, said, “The internet is starved of good wholesome entertainment that kids and parents can enjoy together. This infotainment format is also a global first. Daria, along with her mother Tina, will take viewers on a mouth-watering culinary journey. While the mother takes care of the cooking, little Daria will guide her how simplicity and basics work for kids from her perspective.”
The adorable mother-daughter duo will provide a refreshing twist to the series with their quirky and fun banter while they cook up and share scrumptious recipes. Each episode will also have a beautifully designed photo postcard of the recipe that can be saved on the phone to try out later.
The first promo of the series was launched on Daria’s birthday, July 14. “All the recipes are her grandmother’s recipes and Daria loves them. When I am actually cooking any of the dishes, she tries to get fully involved,” said Tina. But this early fame does not mean that Daria will compromise school hours. This is just a pre-school fun activity, insists her mother.
Series creator Seher Bedi said, “The show is a celebration of a mother-daughter bond, sprinkled with chocolate mousse and mango smoothies and everything else in between the yummy spectrum, catering to a wide array of audience of six years and above. The recipes that will be showcased are Daria’s favourites and hence the audience can expect some utterly delicious treats that every kid on the block will devour in a minute.”
With a total of 24 episodes already shot and ready, the first episode is scheduled for launch this Wednesday.
