Julian Kreusser is the host of 'The Big Kitchen with Food,' a program that airs regularly on [Portland Community Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lavender-cheese). Julian Kreusser's parents educate him at home using unschooling principles; no doubt that's how the [kindergartner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-petit-chefs) ended up pursuing his own cooking show. According to Sylvia McDaniel, the executive director of Portland Community Media, viewers love Julian Kreusser's show. "It even has potential to be a national program," says McDaniel. “It’s a wonderful show. We’re just thrilled. He actually understands what he’s doing. He’s not just following orders. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Child Prodigy TV Hosts:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include creating platforms and programs that specifically cater to child prodigies in various industries. - **Unschooling Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include developing alternative education models that empower children to pursue their passions and interests from a young age. - **Youth Media Empowerment:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include creating media channels and platforms that amplify the voices and talents of young individuals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Television Broadcasting:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include developing new TV formats and programs that showcase the talents of young individuals. - **Education Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include creating interactive educational tools and platforms that support unschooling and personalized learning approaches. - **Children's Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include producing media content that empowers and inspires young children to pursue their dreams and interests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Culinary Battle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/show-me-your-chef.md) - [Immersive Food Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-become-the-worlds-greatest-chef.md) - [Child-Friendly Cooking Camps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-lion-cooking-camps.md) - [Cooking Competition Meal Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yes-chef-meal-kit.md) - [Festive Grocer Cooking Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidl-batch-from-scratch.md) - [Smart Recipe Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-recipe-managers.md) - [Kids Cookware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/material.md) - [Kid-Friendly Baking Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidfriendly-baking-experience.md) - [Celebrity Cooking Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-the-truff.md)
