The Tiny Chef Show

Funny, ridiculous, imaginative and knowingly familiar with the pop-culture zeitgeist of its time.

The music is great, with a wide variety of real instrumentation instead of a barrage of synthesized computer beats. The visual aesthetic is refreshingly analogue instead of the cheap 3D animation that plagues kids' content nowadays; it looks like stop-motion although it's hard to really know how it's made.

There's a pleasingly familiar pattern to the episodes, and kids will learn a few things about food. Honestly though, this is entertainment - save the lessons for the classroom!

The show has a gentle pacing, but my three- and six-year-olds are totally hooked. We're all fans of Tiny Chef.
