Passage 5

Flynn Garry, a l5- year-old boy, is known as “the country's hottest chef(厨师)”

Garry started cooking four years ago. Before he tried cooking at home, he read some cookbooks and surfed the Internet. He thought he could do it. Garry said, "Every time I try it, I hope to get better and better, I just love cooking.”

Garry said he could cook, also partly thanks to his mum. His mum didn't really like cooking, and when she did cook, he didn’t like her food, so he decided to try something simple.

Within a year, he has produced most of the dishes in the cookbook and was ready for a bigger plan.　 “I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family too. The young man had a strong passion(热情) for cooking. He even turned his bedroom into a test kitchen. Every day he practised his cooking skills there after school. Soon he could really create more complicated(复杂的) dishes of his own. At that moment, the real" I want to be a chef" dream came into his mind.

Now Garry and his mother set up Eureka, a super club business that organizes monthly events inside his home. Garry, who has also cooked in top-class restaurants around the US, says he's not doing it for the money, but because he loves cooking. "At the point in your life where you stop caring if you're going to be famous or do well, your dream will come to you. I did something with my heart and people can see it. I hope to keep getting better and better. ”
