Impeial Palace

Imperial Palace is a hotel that is known in many countries.
This hotel is also a water resort and there 5 kinds of swimming pools.
In this hotel there are some cottages where people can stay in and minimum is 4 people ( I found that weird because the cottage is big).
This hotel also has a kids club,gym and so much more.
I hope that a lot of people can visit this hotel.

Name: Anthony
State: New South Wales
Age: 10

Least Favourite Food: Brussel sprouts and broccoli 
Game Plan: “I want to be nice and fair to all the contestants, experiment with different food and have fun.”

Biography

Anthony or ‘Little George’ as he’s fondly known by his family, is definitely one of the cheekiest competitors on Junior MasterChef. Just like his idol George Calombaris, Anthony comes from a Greek background and learnt to cook delicious Greek cuisines from his mum and grandma.

It was curiosity that led him to discover his cooking talents when he offered to help his grandma in the kitchen, and the next thing Anthony knew was he was knee-deep in Greek shortbread dough. Anthony also enjoys experimenting with European recipes, in particular, hearty Italian dishes.

Besides cooking, Anthony also loves playing soccer and if he doesn’t become a chef when he gets older, he wants to be an artist or cartoonist. 

He might be a master at cooking but according to his mum – Anthony’s cleaning skills need improving as she always has to drag him back into the kitchen to clean up the mess he makes

Cassidy auditioned for Junior MasterChef because she wanted to show the judges and Australia that kids can be great cooks too.

Cassidy’s first cooking lesson was from her mum and dad when she was just a baby in the bouncer, and she still remembers how her very first batch of honey biscuits tasted...delicious of course!

Her favourite judge is George, and Cassidy was very lucky to have met him on her 12th birthday when he gave her a copy of The Press Club Cookbook to keep.
