Our Favorite: Katelyn 11 — New Orleans, La.

Katelyn’s passion for cooking started when she was nine years old while watching Jewel — her family’s private chef — make dinner. Now this vivacious cook receives cooking lessons from Jewel and helps her make dinner nearly every night acting as her sous chef. With aspirations to become a chef when she grows up, Katelyn hopes to one day cook for Lady Gaga.
