My Dream

My Dream: To become a famous chef

Because I get to...

-Eat delicious food

-Make other people happy

-Make money

Steps to becoming a famous chef: 1. Learn to cook

I’m going to start with apple pie. It sounds easy enough.

All I have to do is buy:

-Apples-Salt-Flour -Shortening-Sugar-Vanilla-Cinnamon

Then I have to find a recipe online…

Hopefully the end result will look something like this….

• After the apple pie I’ll practice making:

-Cake-Pasta-Cookies-Tacos-Macaroni and Cheese

2. Go to college• I’m going to attend the Culinary Institute of

America.

After college I will be able to cook more advanced foods such as:

Inverted Cherry Tomato Tart

Heart of PalmGargouillou

3. Become friends with a famous cook

• I am going to become friends with someone famous because everyone knows its not what you do it’s who you know.

• My new friend is going to be Buddy Valastro.

• Buddy has experience being famous and is amazing at baking cakes so hopefully he can give me a few tips on both.

• He may even be able to help me out with my next step…

4. Try out for a TV cooking show

• I’m going to apply to the show Top Chef• Then I’m going to impress everyone with my

delicious cooking skills

• After (hopefully) winning or doing very well on Top Chef I will become famous.

• Even if I don’t win the show I will be able to perfect my cooking.

5. Buy a restaurant

• If I do win Top Chef I will use the $125,000 prize to buy a restaurant.

• Otherwise, I will use the money I have saved up in my bank account.

• My restaurant will be located in downtown New York and I will work their as the chef.

• It will be a formal restaurant that will serve either Italian or Japanese

(I know, two very different things).

Here’s what it will look like:
