A three-year-old resident of the Moscow region of Lyubertsy, the host of the TV show represented one who is not visible because of the ladle, who can fall into the pan and is afraid of the garlic press, but in fact everyone saw in this adorable child a sensitive and caring little man

Donkey "Best of all!" Polina was a guest of Andrey Malakhov's talk show “Let Them Talk”, where she further strengthened the sympathy of viewers. The little cook literally fell in love with millions of Russians and residents of neighboring states. The correspondent of the blog Lucky Child asked the girl's mother Anastasia Simonova about why her child has such a craving for cooking, and what it is like to raise a future chef.

From the age of two at the stove

I wonder when you noticed in your daughter the desire to certainly feed someone?

She is a very kind and friendly girl. She didn't know how to speak yet, but she was already taking care of us. From the age of two, she began to take an active interest in the kitchen.

Where do you think it came from? Do you like to cook yourself?

I love. I like to cook different dishes. And Polina, in general, like any child, is curious about everything new.

Does Pauline's desire not to let a person get hungry extend only to the people next to her, or can the girl, for example, take food out of the house and treat strangers in the yard?

We have not treated anyone in the yard yet. But, I think, if you give your daughter such an idea, she will definitely support her!

And how do the girl's peers relate to her hobby for cooking?

It's hard to say, they are still quite small. I don’t think they attach much importance to this, such as we adults.

Potatoes can be harmful

Has it ever happened that in the process of cooking food Polina forgot about safety requirements - fire department and so on?

Not. And it won't. She is a smart girl - and I am always there.

What does your daughter love to cook the most? What, in her and in your opinion, does she do best?

Likes to cook absolutely everything. She always manages to try something during the cooking process. And this is the most relish! Polina makes great cutlets and all sorts of salads.

Surely in the process of cooking, some funny stories, curiosities happened to your daughter. Share?

Funny things happen all the time - she swears at the food when they don't want to cut, and calls them “harmful”. And the next time we start cooking, my daughter will certainly ask, for example: "Are potatoes again harmful today?"

Has your daughter mastered any new dishes since the process of public feeding of Maxim Galkin?

Of course, a lot of new ones.

Media affairs

Does Polina watch any cooking shows on TV? Where does she learn new recipes?

On TV - no, but we look at famous food bloggers on Instagram.

Uncover the secret: how to get on the TV show "Best of All!"?

Just send a request.

How did your daughter feel in front of the cameras? Did you understand that not only the people in the audience but the whole country were looking at her and appreciating her?

I don't think she was thinking about the country at that moment.

Is this natural behavior of a girl on stage a consequence of her young age or have you specially prepared your daughter for what awaits her?

Never cooked. She is who she is.

The most relevant and useful information for modern parents is in our newsletter.

Why was Polina so keenly interested in whether the audience in the studio was laughing at her, as you think?

Because she is curious.

How does the child perceive the popularity that has fallen on her now?

No way, she doesn't understand her. And we save our daughter from this.

That is, you don't feel like a TV star now?

I think no.

And they don't recognize you and Polina on the street?

What are your daughter's immediate plans for promoting on TV? Do you participate in any new TV shows or plan to do so?

We do not participate. If they call, then with joy.

Only forward - and with great love

What kind of relationship does Polina have with dinosaurs? Why is she so scared of them?

No longer afraid - now he loves. And plays them. It was just that at that moment I was tired in the studio - and that is how I reacted to the camera.

Do you think your daughter's hobby for cooking will pass with age?

Nobody can say that now. Only time will tell.

What else is the girl interested in?

We draw, we dance, we sing. Loves horses very much. Perfectly rides a scooter and masters the rollers.

Perseverance, diligence, kindness, affection and obedience.

A cook.

Maxim Galkin and Arina

Young Orenburzhenka Arina Zenkina took part in a children's television talent show "Best of all" on Channel One. The host of the program, Maxim Galkin, was captivated by a two-year-old girl with poems. We talked to the mother of a talented baby, who told us how the shooting went.

“My daughter developed an interest in culinary arts at about two years old. At first she watched me cook in the kitchen, asked questions. Then I started trying it myself. I started with the simplest dishes, then everything is more complicated. I used a children's toy knife. We entrusted the real knife to Polina at 2 years and 8 months. I remember this moment well, I was terribly worried! But nothing happened. The daughter handles the knife surprisingly dexterously and at the same time carefully. Gradually, we stopped being afraid that she would cut herself. Our cook's debut dish was the Olivier salad, ”said Anastasia, the little cook's mother.

According to her, Paulie's skill grew by leaps and bounds. Natural abilities and hard work, surprising for a child, did their job. Now my daughter, already being a "pro", will treat her to baked fish with cheese, and navy pasta, cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers, various salads, charlotte, sweet puffs / pies, omelet, stew with gravy and a delicious side dish.

“And the truth will treat you, will not regret it, will offer you more supplements. Polya is a very kind and friendly girl, ”smiles Anastasia.

The mother of our heroine explained that the casting for the TV program "Best of all!" they hit by accident and even spontaneously.

“During my lunch break at work, I filled out a form on the Channel One website and sent several videos from Paul. A couple of hours later they called me and asked for a video presentation where the child talks about himself. Then we were invited to a casting for the chief editor in Ostankino. My daughter successfully coped with it, after which there were two days of rehearsals at Mosfilm and shooting there in the evening. Fields usually sleeps sweetly in her crib at this time, but here she worked for 5+. And not a drop of whims! Today the whole family watched our daughter on TV. And we, parents, and our friends, and everyone who knows and loves Polina, felt pride in her unexpected culinary talent, ”Anastasia admits.

Well, many Lyubertsy also watched Polina on TV and were proud of their little countrywoman. They laughed at her childish spontaneity and were surprised at some of the quite adult answers. When Maxim Galkin asked what dishes she does best, the girl replied with a sweet smile: "Olivier and cutlets." And then she demonstrated how cleverly she does them. I also cooked mashed potatoes for a side dish, masterfully beating the potato mass with a mixer. And I didn't forget the butter, what a cook! First of all, she treated mom and dad with cooked dishes, who were sitting among the audience. “And treat everyone else,” said Polina generously.

Polina Simonova was presented with the “Best of All” medal and a backpack with sweets at the TV show. But, I think, the real awards in her life are still ahead. Moreover, the girl has already clearly defined her future. "I will be a chef and open my own restaurant." That's it. No more, no less. You also need to be able to dream, and then everything will definitely come true.

Maxim Galkin and participant of the show "Best of all" Polina Simonova

After the transfer, the video with her participation breaks records for attendance. Polina, as they say on Channel One, “is not visible because of the ladle,” she can fall into the pan, she is frightened by the garlic press, but all this does not prevent her from managing the kitchen, because she is the smallest and most charming chef in Russia! Anastasia Simonova, the mother of a little miracle, says with a laugh:

Of course, my goal was not to make my daughter a cook and completely shift cooking to her! She told Maxim Galkin there, of course, that she cooks from morning till night and is the only one who feeds everyone at home, but she boasted about it. Polina is very inquisitive and active, eager to help me in all homework. To channel her energy into a peaceful channel, I once took a chance and let her chop boiled vegetables for a salad. I handed her a knife from the children's table set - he cuts boiled carrots normally, but you can't hurt your finger like that. Polina was then two years and seven months old. She liked it, and she was great at it.

How did the “Best of All!” Program find you?

My husband's parents live in another city, and I constantly shoot small videos for them so that grandparents can watch their granddaughter grow up. I sent one of these videos to the Best of All! Program, and on the same day the editor called us and invited us to take part in the filming.

Does Polina know how to cook only these three dishes: Olivier, mashed potatoes and cutlets? She demonstrated these skills on the program.

No, what are you! She can do a lot of things. She and I have already made stuffed cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers, baked pies, baked fish. Yesterday she made us okroshka. I don't teach her anything on purpose. I attract her to what I myself am going to feed my family with. I tell you what to do and in what sequence, and she does it. Slowly, of course, but we are in no hurry to go anywhere (laughs).

Another question extremely worried the audience: why did father Seryozha scare the child with dinosaurs so much? (on the set, Polina mistook the camera-crane for a dinosaur, got scared, hid behind the table and even cried).

What are you, our dad - the kindest kind! He does not like a soul in his daughter. They have such a game when Polya portrays one capricious horse from the cartoon and runs away from dad, and he catches up with her, portraying a dinosaur. Both of them run around the apartment contentedly and laugh. I don't know why the camera seemed to Polina to look like a dinosaur. She saw pictures of dinosaurs in books. Maybe the daughter's fatigue affected. They filmed us late, around nine in the evening, at which time Polina usually goes to bed. After filming, she never remembered this incident with the "dinosaur". And yesterday the whole family sat down to watch the program, so she laughed at herself so much in the moment when she ran away and hid from the camera.
