11-Year-Old Chappaqua Resident to Compete on Cooking Show

If you ask Chappaqua resident Zoe Geller what’s cooking, she will likely say, “Me!”

The 11-year-old was chosen to compete on Food Network’s “Chopped Junior,” according to Westchester Magazine.

The series, in which the winner gets $10,000, premieres Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. EST.

Geller told the magazine she started baking with her grandmother at the age of 3 and said her whole family loves to cook.

Her favorite things to cook? Vegetables, because she said one can do anything with them.

The premise of the “Chopped” television programs is having four competitive cooks create dishes from a seemingly random assortment of items, some processed and some in raw form.

Three judges then taste the dishes and “chop” one of the cooks. The remaining chefs go on to compete in a second round, where one is chopped. The final two cooks compete head to head and are judged on all three of their dishes.
