Jack began cooking when he was nine years old. As with most kids his age, he discovered his talents when making a croquembouche for a friend's dinner party. We didn't even realise that nine year olds were invited to dinner parties.
After watching the Meryl Streep movie Julie and Julia, he started to hone his craft. Nothing quite like the cinematic power of the Streep to motivate yourself towards self-betterment!
Just like a 1950s housewife,

Isabella, 12,
dvd , from Queensland
Number one of the twin-set to have secured a place on Junior MasterChef Australia is Isabella, who comes from a formidable line of Italian mommas who have schooled her in the ways of Mediterranean cookery.
The forward-driven youngster has already developed the name of her restaurant -- Issofia -- and has developed menus and business cards to help build her client base.
We wasted our childhoods.
Nick, 10,
dvds , from New South Wales
Nick is the collaborative chef who unites with his mother and sister to create wondrous three-course creations. His father has it made.
Apparently,
Underbelly box set, the youngster enjoys hosting dinner parties for his friends (really -- do children genuinely host dinner parties?!).
In addition to his regular dinner parties,
True Blood dvds, the wannabe MasterChef is writing a cookbook called How Do You Like Your Lamb?
Motivation overload.

Isabella's twin and we can only hope for psychic communes across the stove top. Our fingers are tightly crossed.
She enjoys cooking for her dearest papa and is a keen follower of the big UK celeb-chefs Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson. In her spare time she likes to play her fiddle and compose lyrics for songs with her twin sister.
Psychic composition? Hopefully.
