October 25, 2004 - 2005
Cooking for Kids with Luis is an Australian short-form cooking show for preschoolers, co-produced by Total Perception Productions and Nickelodeon Australia. It premiered on Nick Jr. Australia in 2004. The show is hosted by six-year-old Luis Tanner, a boy from Australia who became the Guinness World Record holder for the youngest TV host. Every short follows Luis as he prepares, cooks and shares some of his favorite dishes. He also shows where food comes from by gathering the ingredients.
In the United States, the show aired on Noggin. It premiered with a half-hour special on 26 September 2005. The special was made up of shorts themed around Latino recipes (like tortillas, empanadas, and Guatemalan cheesecake) to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Afterward, all 20 of the 4-5 minute shorts aired in between shows on Noggin, as part of the Snack Time interstitial series. All of the recipes were posted on Noggin.com.
In 2006, a follow-up from the same creators premiered, called Gardening for Kids with Madi. Luis appeared in some of the episodes.
