Recently I was sent the synopsis of the upcoming Netflix series Waffle + Mochi (2021 - Present) which is being produced in part by Michelle and Barack Obama. And because I basically fell in love after watching the trailer, I had to share it with all of you.
Once upon a thyme, deep in The Land of Frozen Food, lived two best friends named Waffles and Mochi with one shared dream: to become chefs! The only problem? Everything they cooked was made of ice. When these two taste-buddies are suddenly hired as the freshest employees of a whimsical supermarket, they’re ready for the culinary adventure of a lifetime. With the help of friendly new faces like the supermarket owner, Mrs. Obama, and a magical flying shopping cart as their guide, Waffles and Mochi blast off on global ingredient missions, traveling to kitchens, restaurants, farms and homes all over the world, cooking up recipes with everyday ingredients alongside renowned chefs, home cooks, kids and celebrities. Whether they’re picking potatoes in the Andes of Peru, sampling spices in Italy, or making Miso in Japan, these curious explorers uncover the wonder of food and discover every meal is a chance to make new friends. Waffles + Mochi is an exciting invitation to get kids and grown-ups cooking together in the kitchen and connecting to cultures around the globe.

C'mon, how cute does this show look?! I honestly cannot wait for it to start airing on March 16th so I can watch it with my sister and Mimi. I think Mimi will absolutely love watching it because she is always pretending to cook in her toy kitchen and is always asking whomever she is in the actual kitchen with if she can help them cook. Plus, I think my sister and I will really enjoy it too -- When we were little little there was no Food Network or Cooking Channel, so we would watch cooking shows on PBS and pretend to cook right along with Lidia Bastianich, Mary Ann Esposito, Ming Tsai, etc. So Waffle + Mochi would have 100% been right up our alley (It still is, we both still LOVE cooking shows).
What do you think? Are you going to watch Waffle + Mochi with a child in your family or on your own? Let me know!
