Jim Austin loves kids, magic, food and fun and he has Found a way to combine all his favorites into a new show called Cooking Up Fun! His 25+ years of experience working with children allows him to teach them about food, cooking, safety and good eating habits. They don’t even know they’re learning because they are laughing and having a great time.

Jim covers a wide range of topics including the food groups and adds his own “Austin List” with groups 7 through 10. Pizza, candy and other people’s food are all in his expanded list. He looks at the science behind cooking, after all cooking is chemistry and he highlights some of the  science behind the scenes. He covers food safety and safety in the kitchen. There’s even a microwave / dishwasher / blender kind of oven that is to clean up a kid’s shoe with disastrous
results. But don’t worry it all ends up right in the end.

This fun filled show works well for preschoolers through elementary school age audiences, and with all the fun, adults love to watch too. With his big white chef’s hat and jacket and all sorts of things you find in the kitchen, as well as many wacky things you won’t, it makes this a show that is visually fun to see and a joy to participate in for kids.
