Channel 9 is jumping on the cooking-craze coat tails of Masterchef by announcing auditions for a family cooking show sponsored by Coles.The Great Aussie Cook Off will be a daytime program a la channel 10's Ready Steady Cook rather than a prime-time powerhouse.
It won't be for Wolfgang-Puck-wannabes either - the official website says;
"This is not for cooking professionals or those aspiring to be a chef, this is a competition for real people like you who have a passion for cooking with and for family and friends."Applications are open until 5pm Friday the 3rd of July.
Oh, and don't be put off by the extremely patriotic logo - they're asking for "diverse" family groups after all - they might even have a family with same-sex parents, or a muslim family, or a family of Sudanese refugees ... or a ... well, I shouldn't get ahead of myself - we'll just have to wait and see.
Diverse my arse. Seriously, Channel 9 is such a dinasaur in that regard. I can only imagine they throw in a token Chinese or Vietnamese family. I can't see them including a family that cooks with halal food.
