Vivian has become quite capable in the kitchen, baking pies with her Dad, making salsa with her Mom. She measures ingredients like a pro, and has even started working on her knife skills (under the watchful eyes of her parents).

When Rachel’s client Chef Julia from Nourish was schedule to appear on TV, and the producers asked for a child to join her, Rachel knew just the junior chef for the job: Vivian, 9 years old going on 30.

Vivian was a little nervous, but she quickly warmed up, thanks in part to Julia.

Celebrity hit Vivian fast, like by the time she arrived at school that morning. “Everyone for the rest of the day kept asking me ‘Were you on TV? What was it like?'” she said exasperatedly when she got home that afternoon.

The Intermediate School stardom carried on to the next day, when the class watched her segment on the smart board.

She’s still not sure she wants to put in her application for Kids’ Baking Championship on the Food Network, but we’ll see.
