Jr Chef Tanner O'Dell
| Tanner O’Dell - This months Jr Chef on the rise! I want to become the best I can be, and to do this, I want to follow a certain path. Being in school everyday gives me new ideas that really motivate me, and I want to eventually develop those ideas into something that everyone can really connect with, whether it's a food show, or a new recipe.
Being a teen, it's only natural for me to really focus on teens and cooking. I want to bring cooking into the life of teenagers everywhere. In so many cultures, food is looked upon as an extemely and highly respected part of everyday life. Sadly, we don't have 2 hours to sit down and eat everyday. |
A 5 course meal is something that you may have once a year, if at all. So how do we bring back the elegance and respect that food deserves, and appeal all of this to teens? Well, I think it's all in how you present, entertain, and teach about the food. If you just stand behind a counter and cook for them, they don't really learn much, and what they do learn definately doesn't stay with them. From talking with friends and other people, everyone enjoys cooking at least once in a while...But sometimes those experiences leave them out of the kitchen for life. So You have to be entertaining, but yet get the points across. So I can connect with the teens across the U.S. and I plan on really influencing their lives with food, and flavors that they never had a clue about before. Yum!
