My interest in cooking started when I was 11， partly thanks to my mother． She didn't really like cooking and when she did cook， I didn't like her food． Once I was watching something about cooking on TV and I thought I could do this， so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find．
During a year， I had produced most of its recipes（食谱）and was ready for a bigger challenge（挑战）． I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family． To my joy， my parents allowed me to build a test kitchen． I did much cooking to test my dishes in itand my skill improved quickly． Later， my mom 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﹣class restaurants around the country． I am not doing it for the money， but because I love cooking．
Now I know that when you stop caring whether you'll be famous or do well， your dream will come to you．
