Junior MasterChef Australia is an Australian competitive cooking game show. It is a spin-off of MasterChef Australia, itself an adaptation of the British show MasterChef, and features contestants aged 8 to 12. The first season of the show began production in July 2010 and included 50 contestants. Over 5,000 children from around the nation auditioned for the series.
It was a happy moment yesterday afternoon for me watching young children of age between 8 and 12 taking part in cooking contests. It was a game in Series 2 picking up the last six contestants into the top 20. The children showed their talent in making cakes and Italian pasta. Jack, Aya, Zac and Hannah were among the six children who awarded the white aprons to continue their competition for the title of Junior MasterChef in Australia in 2011. One particular thing to mention here is that the Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard, attended the contest as a guest and she tasted 15 bits of cakes from the children. The Prime Minister showed much of her kindness and support to the younger generations.
Junior MasterChef was officially renewed on 15 November 2010 due to strong ratings, to return for a second season in 2011. Filming started on 28 July 2011, with the season premiering in October 2011. 11-year-old Greta Yaxley from Western Australia won the Junior MasterChef title for 2011.
