Five-year-old hosts cooking show
Five-year-old Julian Kreusser is the product of unschooling , a style of home-schooling in which kids direct their own learning toward their particular interests. Julian's interests have included cooking since he was 3 years old , and a mere two years later he's the host of his own cooking show.
On "Big Kitchen With Food," which airs on Portland, Oregon public access TV and online at Blip.tv , Julian's family helps with lightning, camera and editing but the recipes are all Julian's. They include a chocolate chip zucchini bread , a spaghetti sauce that's gotten raves around the world and something called "Yummy Yummy Citrus Boys."
The UK's Times Online reports that publishers are interested in a cookbook from Julian, tentatively titled "My Big Kitchen." Portland Community Media executive director Sylvia McDaniel believes that "Big Kitchen" "has potential to be a national program." In an interview with OregonLive , she said, "It's a wonderful show. We're just thrilled. He actually understands what he's doing. He's not just following orders."

this kid owns.
This is awesome! Just imagine what lives we could lead if we could ignore school and work on our dreams and hobbies.
This makes me wanna kill somebody because it makes me realize how much of my younger potential the school wasted.
I'm torn between jealousy and happiness. that kid is so, so, so freaking lucky. if he went to public school, where would he be in two years?
and yet here there's no doubt he's got a promising future.
This kid is going places at age 5. If I ever meet him, I shall bestow upon him one free Internet.
