FOOD WITH MIGUEL MAESTRE

COOKING WITH SESAME STREET

Recently world’s most loveable furry monsters, Elmo and Cookie Monster, were here in Australia to celebrate the 42nd season of Sesame Street, which features celebrity appearances from Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, Bruno Mars, Emma Stone, and more. While here, they played sous-chef to The Living Room’s Mr. Miguel to help him cook up a fool-proof family favourite - spaghetti and meatballs. The dish they create together is guaranteed to please the even the fussiest kid… or monster.
