Planet Cook
Introduction
Planet Cook is a place where dinnertime disappointments
and mealtime moans are things of the past.
It's a marvellous world where meals are masterpieces
and kids get creative with cookery.
With a cupful of energy, a pinch of wonder and a generous
sprinkling of imagination comes a unique creative cookery adventure
show for kids.
Planet Cook is hosted by Captain Cook –
also known as Kevin Woodford (Ready Steady Cook) – the hero
from Planet Cook.
His mission is to defeat boring food and bring fun food
to kids everywhere.
Captain Cook's culinary side kick – a yeti called
Bouma – and the Cook Cadets will banish boring food
and in each show send a Taste Transmission to the world.
With recipes inspired from the natural world, from Australian
spiders to erupting volcanoes, Captain Cook and the Cook Cadets must
complete the recipe before the timer runs out.
But whatever the dish they create it will be as much
fun to make as it is to eat!
Each Taste Transmission is a recipe that transforms
simple and wholesome ingredients into a mouth-watering dish which is
stored inside a super computer called Roxy.
Roxy is also a window to the wider world. She shows
Bouma and the Cook Cadets Info-Bytes – mini films that teach
them about Earth's fascinating natural history such as erupting volcanoes,
fruit bats and dinosaurs.
The Info-Bytes inspire culinary genius Captain Cook
to come up with a recipe for the Taste Transmission. Then, together
with the Cook Cadets, he must prepare the taste creation before the
timer runs out.
Will Captain Cook come up with a concoction?
Will the Cook Cadets complete the Taste Transmission
in time against the clock?
And will Bouma get in the way?
There’s only one way to find out…
Planet Cook starts on The CBBC Channel in October 2004.
