Michelle launches kids’ TV show

-

MICHELLE OBAMA is launching a Netflix children’s food show with a pair of puppets “to bring a bit of light and laughter to homes around the world”.

The new show, called Waffles + Mochi, launches on March 16 and will be “all about good food: discoverin­g it, cooking it, and of course, eating it,” the former United States first lady posted on Instagram yesterday.

The 20-minute episodes will combine live action and puppets, and Obama will be a series regular.

The show centres on two best puppet friends who dream of becoming chefs and travel across the world looking for ingredient­s and making dishes “alongside renowned chefs, home cooks, kids and celebritie­s”, according to a press release from Netflix.

Mrs Obama wrote: “Kids will love it, but I know that adults will also get plenty of laughs – and some tips for the kitchen. In many ways, this show is an extension of my work to support children’s health as first lady.”
