For most teenagers, the kitchen may be a strange place. But for Flynn McGarry, a boy from Los Angeles, it is an amazing place and he is crazy about cooking.
At the age of fifteen, he opened his own dining club at home and worked with some of the best restaurants in his country.
McGarry’s love for cooking started at the age of ten. The reason for that is just because he didn’t like the food his mother cooked. Thankfully, she wasn’t mad and bought her son cookbooks and showed him Internet recipes to see if he could do any better. The little boy practiced his life skills after school and taught himself from the Internet. When he was only thirteen, he was called culinary prodigy(烹饪神童) and the country’s hottest cook.
In his room, there were no video games, basketballs or movie posters, but mixers, pots, cutting boards and pans. Because of his strong love for cooking, with his parents’ help, he even turned his bedroom into an experimental kitchen laboratory called Eureka.
McGarry does not like just simple types of food. He prefers creating interesting dishes. “I could take a carrot and raise it to this amazing level that you’ve never think you’re eating a carrot,” he said. The New York Times described his meals as “creative enough to make an experienced cook inferior(逊色的)”.
