One battle cry, a dash of sibling rivalry, a generous serving of heart, and a blend of Martha Stewart and Hell's Kitchen, garnished with danger and delight.
Morro and Jasp have decided to host a cooking show, but they both have very different ideas of what that entails. Morro wants a battle in the kitchen, while Jasp is trying to host a classy show and cook her way into an unknowing audience member's heart. Full of munchies, mess, and mayhem, MORRO AND JASP: GO BAKE YOURSELF! is a culinary masterpiece you won't soon forget.
