The fire occurred in a kids’ cooking school – the day before the fire, the kitchen (which was destroyed) was apparently packed with children.

New business or not, this could have been a catastrophe. Serious questions should be asked of the owners, the builders and anyone else involved in setting up such a project.

Master Chef Jnr may sound like a fun, safe and profitable marketing gimmick, but mixing children with a dangerous environment, such as an industrial kitchen, is potentially none of the three.

This fire was at a place called Kids Pantry. Its a new business just starting up providing cooking classes for kids and cooking parties. My kid has a party booked there in a couple of months and is (or was) really looking forward to it (the Masterchef effect!). It must be devastating for a new business just trying to get off the ground…
