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.”
