Calling all Little Chefs: now is your chance to get creative with small potatoes and share your cooking skills on the THE MARILYN DENIS SHOW!

CTV's THE MARILYN DENIS SHOW and MASTERCHEF CANADA's Michael Bonacini have partnered with The Little Potato Company to create The Little Chef Casting Call.

Launching today (Monday, Sept. 21, 2015), it's a delectable opportunity for young cooks from across the country to have a chance to appear on CTV as well as win the culinary trip of a lifetime for their family to Paris, France.

The culinary contest is open to all Canadian children aged 8-13. To enter the casting call, families must visit Marilyn.ca before Oct.18 and submit a video of their little chef cooking an original recipe that includes small potatoes. Two finalists will go head-to-head on THE MARILYN DENIS SHOW to compete for the grand prize of a family adventure for three people in Paris, courtesy of The Little Potato Company, which includes airfare, accommodation, two-day park passes to an entertainment resort, and an ultimate culinary experience.

"This innovative partnership gives children the opportunity to showcase their cooking skills in front of one of Canada's top chefs, and the country," said Laird White, Director, Brand Partnerships, Bell Media. "We look forward to presenting creative dishes to our audience with the help of an esteemed Canadian food company."

"Our Little Chef Program makes it fun and easy for parents to cook with their kids, to help them learn about cooking and healthy food," said Angela Santiago, CEO and Co-founder, The Little Potato Company. "Kids and adults love the buttery taste, small child-friendly size and eye-catching colours and shapes of our Creamers, so they're a fun and easy vegetable for families to cook with, and enjoy eating together."

Videos featuring kids cooking original recipes with small potatoes will be accepted for four weeks following the Sept. 21 launch date, until Oct. 18. After the initial call for entries, 10 finalists will be selected by a judging panel and Canadians will be able to vote for their favourite Little Chef at Marilyn.ca.
