Soon after, he created more complicated (复杂的) and expensive dishes for famous restaurants in America. The real “I want to be a chef” moment came when McGarry decided to create his own dishes. He said a year later. When his skills in the kitchen got better, he was able to cook his way through most of the cookbook. He has worked in top restaurants across the country. His accomplishments (技艺) may seem like the work of an experienced chef, but this cook is only 14 years old. The young man has a strong passion (热情) for cooking. He even turned his bedroom into an experimental kitchen lab. You cant see any video games, basketballs or movie posters.McGarrys mother is proud of him and she fully supports her son. She said, “He showed such passion for this that it was an obvious choice to allow him to do what he loves to do.”“Focusing on your passion and hard work certainly pays off in the end.” When Flynn McGarry was interviewed, he said, “At the point in your life where you stop caring if youre going to be famous or do well, your dream will come to you.”1.
