Celebrity chefs are not uncommon, but Andy Perez, 1 who grew up in San Diego, California, is a little different to most. By the time he was 9, he could chop vegetables as quickly as the kitchen staff at his parents’ restaurant, and when he left school, he was working in several restaurants 2 where he learned to cook healthy, delicious meals. While he was working at one restaurant, 3 whichwas called The Boathouse, the young chef appeared in a TV documentary about it. A TV production company then asked him to make his own programme, called Andy’s Kitchen. After the series, 4 whichwas a huge success, Andy published a cookbook with the same name. It was bought by people 5 who were of different age groups and it became a number 1 bestseller. Since then, Andy, 6 whose aim is to get people eating healthier food, has been involved in many other projects. One of these included going into schools 7 that serve lunch for their students, and introducing the idea of healthier meals for children. Andy is now one of the most successful TV chefs in the USA, and he owns several restaurants 8 which are popular throughout the country.
