    My interest in cooking started when I was11, partly thanks to my mother. She didn't really like cooking and when she didcook, I didn't like her food. Once I was watching something about cooking on TVand I thought I could do this, so I went to the bookstore and looked for thebiggest cookbook I could find.

    During a year, I had produced most of itsrecipes (食谱) and was ready for a big challenge (挑战). Iwanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than justmy family. To my joy, my parents allowed me to build a test kitchen. I did muchcooking to test my dishes init and my skill improved quickly. Later, mymum and I set up a dinner club that organized monthly events inside my home.Now as a teen chef (主厨), I have also cooked in top-classrestaurants around the country. I am not doing it for the money, but because Ilove cooking.

    Now I know that when you stop caringwhether you'll be famous or do well, your dream will come to you.
