14-year-old wonder-chef, who started cooking 'because he didn't like his mother's food', to takes helm at $160-a-head Beverly Hills restaurant
- Flynn McGarry started cooking in his family home in San Fernando Valley at the age of 11
- He has since launched his own pop-up restaurant as well as guest cooking at restaurants across the country
- On Wednesday he will lead a sold-out evening at BierBeisl, Beverly Hills
At the age of 14 you may expect burger and chips or pizza to be on the menu, but a teenage chef has wowed the food world so much with his experimental fine dining that he has been taken on by a top Beverly Hills restaurant.
Child prodigy Flynn McGarry has cooked for more than 120 people, run a pop-up restaurant with an 18-course tasting menu and impressed critics and diners over his three year career which began at the tender age of 11.
And next week the San Fernando Valley schoolboy will head the kitchen at Beverly Hills' BierBeisl restaurant with a 12-course meal for 40 people charging $160 a head.
And it turns out he could.
'It was after looking at all these cookbooks and going on the Internet and looking at these dishes that I thought, ‘I could achieve that one day,'' McGarry told the website.
'I thought, every time I try it, I hope to keep getting better and better. I just fell in love with it.'
'My mom didn’t really like cooking, and when she did cook I didn’t really like her food. And I was watching something on the Food Network, and I thought, ‘I could do this''.
'I went to the bookstore and I looked for the thickest, biggest cookbook. And I found ‘The French Laundry’ by Thomas Keller.
“I’ve always been very creative, and I wanted to create my own dishes, and I didn’t know too much about it – but I would do variations from ‘French Laundry’ and other cookbooks and would cook them for my family.'
'Then, I started liking the creative part of it, and I started to cook for more people then just my family.'
Question 1, how do you like cooking? have you tried to cook by yourself? How do you like it?
How do you like your mom's cooking? You like it or not?
Question 2, Is there something you dislike but turn out it becomes the motivation of something else for you??
Like the boy of the report, he doesn't like the dishes made by his mom so he started to cook on his own.
