Kid Chefs

With the growing number of kiddie foodies, or koodies, that have gotten press over the past year, it was only a matter of time before they got their own magazine. Meet ChopChop, a new quarterly food glossy and website that's full of cooking pointers, recipes, and kitchen tool introductions, for kids aged 5 to 12. The vision of the magazine's creator, cookbook author Sally Sampson, is to reverse and prevent childhood obesity; according to the website, the mag is "filled with nutritious, great-tasting, ethnically diverse, and inexpensive recipes." The debut issue has a circulation of 150,000, and is being distributed to pediatricians, grocery stores, farmers markets, schools, children's hospitals, and youth-based community organizations.

Two months ago, the big buzzword in the food world was koodies — kid foodies. And while the concept has been around for a while, it looks like the word has a brand-new poster child. Watford, England's, Archie Coffer is only 2 years old, and already he's being nicknamed "the miniature Jamie Oliver." He's one half of the father-son duo starring in My Daddy Cooks, a video and recipe blog with an international following. The toddler's father, Nick Coffer, has already signed with an agent, been filmed by the BBC, and has a book deal in progress.
