Monster Chef’s loves to bake cakes, slices and desserts, usually while listening to the soundtrack from Monsters Inc. Hmmmmm, chocolate and big band jazz, what could be better.
When dancing, Monster Chef prefers the “eight step” to the “two step”. Since I have had Monster Chef with me, all my cooking endeavors have been extremely successful – must be all that happy dancing around the kitchen and fantastic cooking advice.
When we came back from our disastrous holiday, amongst all the bills that my neighbour collected was a mystery package. Inside was a lovely surprise from my talented (and ludicrously busy) friend, Melly. Fat quarters from her entire range of new Australian fabric. The range is called “Where the Wind Blows” and is the debut line for her distributor, “Creative Abundance“.
It didn’t take me long to work out that the fabric really wanted to be a softie (after all, it was designed by a softie expert). With my chef set in Homespun, hitting the news-agencies, I knew that I wanted to create a chef of some kind. While I was tossing around a few ideas with the kids, Michaela suggested a monster and so Monster Chef was conceived.
Speaking of Monsters, see a furry blue monster’s take on the Old Spice commercials. Grover (Sesame Street) talks about the word “on” in “Smell Like a Monster“.
Now look back to Monster Chef 😉 – all he or she needs now is a name, “………. the Monster Chef”. Can you help?
I love her!!!!
What about Millie the Monster Chef?
Matilda? I have to say, I love all the little details – like the felted part of her tentacles. Gorgeous!
Claire, coming from an education perspective, he/she is calling out for a bit of alliteration. How about “Monty the Monster Chef”?
Oh my goodness this is such an adorable monster! I love how you used fabrics too!
If you can say of a monster – just gorgeous. Glad you found the teeth! My vote is for Monty – it has a monstery cute ring to it. Well done Claire – if you need someone to test the pattern – you know who to rely on 🙂
Marsha. A monster called Marsha.
Harvey the Monster Chef ! No idea were that came from…..just popped into my head 🙂 He (she?) is fantastic Claire.
Claire, she’s fabulous! I think Monty’s a pretty good name too. Those fabrics are so sweet! Oh, and don’t you just love Grover?! (I think he’s my favourite muppet!)

so many names to choose from, I still like the thought of maddie the monster who can come and sit with us when our own sweet maddie flies the coop soon. Herman comes to mind and Petunia to be totally out there lol
He’s fabulous Claire! I’m with the alliteration crowd – I think Marvin the Monster Chef 🙂
What about Morton? (Not too sure of how you spell it!)
Very cute monster – Mighty Monster Chef or Minja Monster Chef???
