Why did you start cooking?
“I loved playing with a toy kitchen and plastic food that you could pretend to chop and put back together! Then I worked my way up to making coffee for my parents and eventually deviled eggs and pigs in a blanket.”
Do you have any favorite cookbooks?
“I really like Charred & Scruffed, which is all about barbeque.”
What’s a good starter recipe for other kid chefs?
“Scrambled eggs. Eggs aren’t too expensive, so if you ruin them, it’s okay!”
