Byline: STEPHEN MAGUIRE
MEET Ireland's youngest Masterchef - five-year-old Ciaran Crawford.
The cheeky Co Donegal boy has become an internet sensation after making a series of cookery videos.
Ciaran, from Lifford, has produced two YouTube demonstrations in the kitchen of his house. And he might have the right chef's uniform but he is so small he has to stand on a chair to reach the table to make his delightful dishes.
The videos so far - for Irish Stew and lasagne - have received thousands of hits.
His teacher at Murlog National School Miss O'Donnell thought they were so good she played them in class so other pupils might pick up a few tips.
And Ciaran's dad Martin thinks his recipe for success might be down to him. He said: "I learned how to cook from my grandmother and my mother and Ciaran enjoys helping me to cook, so it's great to pass on the tradition.
"We just decided to make a video for the fun of it but it has really taken on a life of its own.
"It is getting a lot of comments form around the world including the US, Australia and across Europe. People are even asking when is he bringing out his book." However, Martin admitted his son might not be the next Conrad Gallagher or Jamie Oliver and isn't about to refurbish the family kitchen to cater for his son's cookery empire.
He added: "It's just a bit of fun but it's great to see him enjoying himself. Sure last week he told his teacher he wanted to be a spaceman.
"I just hope he doesn't ask me for a spacesuit next."
