Travelling with your celebrity-chef parents can lead to all kinds of adventures.
Meet Sage Cookson. She’s just an ordinary kid.: but her parents are television chefs. They travel the country – and sometimes the world – seeking out the best food for their show, The Cooksons Cook On.
Sage loves travelling, but it seems that wherever she and her parents go, there is always adventure. Sometimes a little bit too much adventure.
