Sue
I’ve loved cooking since I was about five. I’m very lucky having parents who are great cooks, and they taught me lots of traditional Chinese recipes. I like the old family recipes best, and the dishes I like to cook most are lamb and beef. But I do like trying other types of food. I hope one day I’ll be able to travel to lots of places and taste different dishes. In fact, the first place I want to go is Italy—I hear the cooking is wonderful there.

My favourite food is definitely Italian. But it wasn’t always that way. When I was growing up in the UK, I’d eaten pizza and pasta, but it wasn’t very exciting. Then I went on a school trip to Rome, and the food was amazing! Authentic Italian food has a lot of fresh seafood and vegetables. Now I look for recipes on the internet, and I try to make real Italian dishes at home. My mother says I’m like a real Italian chef!

I used to travel with my family a lot, and I’ve tried all sorts of different food in Europe and Asia. I think Chinese must be my favourite, especially dumplings and noodles. Luckily, here in New York there are lots of great Chinese restaurants, and my parents and I go often. Yet while I’m a food lover, I’m no great cook. Now and then I might try a recipe from the internet, but it sometimes works, and sometimes doesn’t!

When I was younger, I didn’t like opera. In fact, I hated it.
The problem was my parents loved opera. They thought I had a good singing voice, and they always wanted me to go to lessons and learn to become a classical singer. But I always refused. How could I tell my friends at school that I was learning to sing opera? It would be so embarrassing!
Every second day my mum or dad would ask if I’d changed my mind. I realised it was very important to them that I at least try. One evening, after they suggested singing lessons again, I said yes. I thought that if I went to one lesson, the teacher would soon know I didn’t have talent, and would advise my parents to stop sending me. That was my plan.
However, to my surprise, I loved the singing lesson. The first thing the teacher did was to play different types of opera I’d never heard before on her CD player. The music was interesting. I liked it. It made me want to try to sing some myself. The teacher then asked me to sing a simple melody, and I was surprised and pleased at the sound that came out. She said, ‘John, you’re good!’.
That all happened two years ago. The two years have passed so quickly. Now I love opera. I’ve been going to weekly lessons, and I practise at home every day. I’ve performed in several concerts, and last week I even sang on TV. My parents are proud of me. And my friends say opera is cool!
