Disney Cookabout on SABC 2

We are really looking forward to this! The whole family enjoys watching cooking shows, although we have only one GREAT CHEF (according to Little Miss/She is dead right! I am talking about her Dad, of course!) who cooks in our house!

Disney Cookabout promises to be a comedic adventure game-show that uses food preparation, cooking and outdoor exploration to showcase South African ingredients and a fun-filled approach to healthy eating.
