Spanish term
"Micro de cocina"
Spanish to English
Other
Cinema, Film, TV, Drama

Hi folks. I'm translating a company filmography.
It says they produce a "micro de cocina", which is Spanish for very short programs which last just a few minutes and give some short recipe between soap operas or gossip shows.
Is there a particular English name for this format?
TIA!

As philgoddard suggests: "cooking interstitial/wraparaound" is the more efficient option.

short cooking segment/ standalone cooking segment
Technically, 'segment' refers to one portion of a larger television program, though on occasion it's used to refer to a short, self-contained program. 'short segment' conveys that a little better.
But 'standalone segment' (quite widely used) would be my suggestion to translate 'micro' -- at least for a broad audience, which is not likely to be familiar with 'interstitial' or 'wraparound'. (perdón si es muy obvio, pero por si a alguien 'standalone' le luce raro, o parece italiano, es palabra compuesta de stand+alone)
In both cases, the placement of the adjective 'cooking' in the middle of the compound noun is really odd, but what can you say, "that's English as she is spoken..."

cooking spot
I agree with this translation that encapsulates what some of the others are describing ... for example ´short cooking segment´. The term ´spot´ is used to indicate both short and self-contained TV program ...
Something went wrong...
