With the help of friendly new faces like the supermarket owner, Mrs. Obama, and a magical flying shopping cart as their guide, Waffles and Mochi blast off on global ingredient missions, traveling to kitchens, restaurants, farms and homes all over the world, cooking up recipes with everyday ingredients alongside renowned chefs, home cooks, kids and celebrities. Whether they&#8217;re picking potatoes in the Andes of Peru, sampling spices in Italy, or making Miso in Japan, these curious explorers uncover the wonder of food and discover every meal is a chance to make new friends. <em>Waffles + Mochi <\/em>is an exciting invitation to get kids and grown-ups cooking together in the kitchen and connecting to cultures around the globe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 1 1'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LTYV_112219_0160R-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"On a rooftop garden, Michelle Obama, wearing a blue apron, converses with a furry white and blue puppet with frozen waffle ears, a round, pink mochi puppet, and a bee puppet wearing a red tie around a table dressed with green decorations for a birthday party.\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-149842\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 1 1'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/LTYV_112219_0752R2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Michelle Obama, wearing a blue apron, sits at a yellow table between a bee puppet wearing a red tie and a teal colored mop puppet, looking surprised as they judge a contest.\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-149843\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Showrunners: <\/strong>Erika Thormahlen &amp; Jeremy Konner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Executive Producers: <\/strong>Erika Thormahlen, Jeremy Konner, Tonia Davis, Priya Swaminathan, Barack and Michelle Obama <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Production Company:<\/strong> Higher Ground Productions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Featuring: <\/strong>Michelle Obama<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Puppeteers: <\/strong>Michelle Zamora (Waffles), Russ Walko (Mochi and Intercommy), Jonathan Kidder (Busy), Diona Elise Burnett (Steve the Mop and voice of Magicart), Taleia Gilliam (Shelfie), Andy Hayward (puppet swing), Piotr Michael (voice of Mochi), George Konner (voice of Intercommy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2020\/05\/poster-trailer-to-michelle-obama-netflix-doc-becoming\/\">Poster &amp; Trailer To Michelle Obama\u2019s Netflix Doc \u2018Becoming\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former first lady Michelle Obama announced this morning (via twitter) that she will be launching WAFFLES + MOCHI, a new family-friendly cooking series on Netflix that encourages children to broaden their culinary horizons.
