In fact, he loves being in the kitchen. By the time Kenny, 16, reached his third year of high school in Charlotte, US, he had become vice president of his school’s cooking club. Kenny said he developed his love of cooking by watching his grandmother, who owned a business. And at the age of 5, he cooked his first dish. Taking it to school for lunch, he warmed it up in the school’s microwave, while the other kids ate their sandwiches. “I love to eat, and it started to become more fun to cook than to have food prepared for me,” he said. Cooking came easy to Kenny, and he enjoyed adding new ingredients into common dishes. “It started with a passion and I wanted to know more,” he said. Last summer, Kenny put his skills to the test by working with his grandmother to cater his uncle’s wedding. Kenny added new changes to the traditional dishes that his grandma had prepared. Chef Frederick Mookie Hicks, owner of a catering business, said Kenny’s success comes from his ability to multitask in the kitchen. “He’s so enthusiastic about cooking that he doesn’t let anything stop him,” Hicks said. 2 1.
