For most teenagers, the kitchen may be a mysterious(神秘的) place. But Flynn McGarry is already able to take charge of(掌管) a kitchen.
At the age of 15, he was already a well—known teenage chef in the US. He has opened his own dining club at home and works with some of the best restaurants in his country.
McGarry's love for cooking started at the age of 10. He practiced his knife skills after school and taught himself from books and the Internet. In his room, there are no video games, basketballs or movie posters, but pots, cutting boards and pans(平底锅).
When he was 11, McGarry's parents helped turn his bedroom into a monthly supper club called Eureka. Each month, he hosted his mother's friends and soon won the title of "culinary prodigy(烹饪神童)". Now, people pay $160(979 yuan) per person to eat at Eureka.
McGarry does not stick with just simple types of cuisine(菜肴). He likes creating interesting dishes. "I could take a carrot and raise it to this amazing level that you'd never think you're eating a carrot," he said. The New York Times described his meals as "creative enough to make an experienced chef inferior(逊色的)."
As for the future, McGarry dreams of being a Michelin—starred chef. He plans to open his own restaurant by 19 and make it, as he puts it, "the best restaurant in the world."
