Author: ARA (ARA) - Youve seen aspiring singing idols, survivors in the wilderness and gold-medal athletes. Now meet the Best Teen Chef in America Patricia Homma, who sauted, roasted and whisked her way to the top award in a national high school Culinary Arts scholarship competition sponsored by The Art Institutes, a leading educator in design and culinary arts nationwide. After an intense two-hour cook-off, competing with 17 other high school seniors from around the country, Homma, an honors student at Wheeler High School in Marietta, Ga., was awarded the gold medal and a $30,000 scholarship to attend The Art Institute of Atlanta. The competition was held at The Art Institute of New York City. Homma dreams of having all her family and friends celebrate every holiday at her home, the way it was at her moms house growing up in Brazil. After she moved to the United States in 1997, Homma began to watch cooking shows on television after school and was inspired to try some recipes and start cooking for her family. Shes been cooking ever since, for her friends as well. Although busywith work and a local youth group, she still finds time to watch Food TV, where her current favorites are Iron Chef and 30-Minute Meals with Chef Rachael Ray. Each contestant submitted a three-course menu as part of the entry requirements. Hommas menu was titled Tropical Sensations and featured spinach and mango salad and grilled salmon (recipes below). Now in its fourth year, The Art Institutes Best Teen Chef in America competition is an annual scholarship program that seeks to spotlight and recognize the most promisingyoung culinary talent in the country. Eighteen high school seniors and would-be chefs were selected as finalists at regional competitions held in March at each of the Art Institutes where Culinary Arts programs are offered.
