Corey Mintz cooks dinner of Froot Loops and beets for Scott Thompson

In the latest instalment of his cooking for fairly famous people series, Toronto Star writer Corey Mintz invites Kids in the Hall star Scott Thompson over to dinner. Mintz jokes that eating a bowl of prop Froot Loops while on the original set some 15 years ago was the real reason the Kids disbanded. Endeavouring to reverse bad karma, he whips up a Froot Loop panna cotta from the Momofuku cookbook for Thompson. “The milk and cream are steeped in Froot Loops, sweetening the liquid into cereal milk, before being set with gelatin. It’s garnished with crushed Froot Loops,” he writes. Also on the menu: hamachi ceviche with yams and kumquats; rapini, potatoes and guanciale; and a leg of lamb with navy beans, hazelnuts and beets (which Thompson avoids). No comment from Thompson on whether the panna cotta is good enough to keep the Kids crew together permanently, but we’re not hopeful. “If I had my druthers,” Thompson tells Mintz, “we’d still be working together full-time.”
