Christine Service, Senior Vice President and Country Manager of The Walt Disney Company Africa comments: “We are thrilled that Disney Cookabout has been acknowledged by the Academy at this year’s International Emmy® Kids Awards. Season 1 garnered an amazing response from viewers and with Season 2, we hope to further encourage them to create Cookabout’s array of exciting, locally-inspired recipes in their own kitchens with their families.”
Since 2006, Disney has been committed to helping families make healthier choices, using its stories and characters to make healthy living simple and fun. Since then, Disney has been looking at the different ways it can support families to live more healthily. This includes introducing robust nutritional guidelines for food and drinks as well as their advertising and offering content that positively focuses on healthier lifestyles such as the Disney Healthy Living Website (www.disneyhealthyliving.co.za), Aim High on Disney XD (2011 – 2014) and Disney Cookabout.
Roberta Durrant from Penguin Films, the creative producer of Disney Cookabout comments: “It is always so rewarding working with the youth on any production and we are very grateful to the excellent cast and crew that have worked tirelessly to make this show the success that it is.”
Season 2’s 18 episodes features some of the best of South Africa’s locally-farmed, wholesome produce, giving a fascinating insight into the food children are used to seeing only in supermarkets and on their dinner plates. Each episode presents the cooktestants and viewers with a brand new theme and location to discover local and international delicacies, cultures and, of course, delicious recipes. From traditional Xhosa cuisine, spicy Indian dishes, Japanese sushi to fresh organic vegetables, olives and nuts, the sumptuous food is matched only by the breath-taking landscape.
Disney Cookabout takes viewers on a fascinating and entertaining adventure across the country. A dash of exploration added to a large cup of humour, sprinkled with brain-tingling facts and stirred with tasty recipes, Disney Cookabout plates up every Saturday and Sunday at 09:25 on Disney Channel (DStv Channel 303).
