Kid's Corner

Welcome to the Kids' corner.

Our home cooking champion 2022 was Christine Liu from California. Her online demonstration is a great way to learn the knack of dumpling making.

Have a go and send us your photos. We'll put them up on the site (we'll just need your parents' permission first).

Some amazing dumplings have been cooked by local students at Silver Road Community Centre. Click here to see their film.. They made their dumplings with the help of a characterful cooking companion called Moostein. The championship now has its very own new mascot, friend to Moostein: Dennis Knodel (no umlaut necessary). Watch out for Dennis making an entrance on the site soon!

If you are not in Norfolk and cannot make it to the championship then you could make a film for entry this year. You need to upload it by 11/11/2026 so that we can get it to the judges and try your recipe. See Dennis Knodel's page on our blog for more information.
