Logan Guleff, a 13-year-old boy, won $1,000,000 in a TV cooking competition for kids. How could he win? Why is he good at cooking? “I practiced a lot, and I knew I had to try my best. I never looked at the prize. I just cared what to do next,” says Guleff.

Guleff loves Mexican food, hamburgers, and anything over an open fire. He also loves cooking food and trying new dishes. Let’s find out how he makes Pack Fish, his dish in the competition. This is going to be a great healthy way to eat your fresh fish.

To get ready, mix some butter and herbs (香草) together. Put the butter mix in the fridge for future use. It can get bigger in cold temperatures. It is great on fish. And you can also try other butter mix and put it on meat or chicken.

To make Pack Fish, you need fresh fish, potatoes, asparagus (芦笋), salt, pepper, and the butter mix. First, cut a small potato into thin-pieces, and clean some asparagus. Next, put the potato on a piece of aluminum foil (铝箔), and add some salt and pepper. Then, put the fish and asparagus on the potato, cover the fish with the butter mix, and add more salt and pepper. After that, fold(包) the aluminum foil around the fish and put the pack into the oven. Turn on the oven and wait for about 20 minutes. Now you can enjoy your Pack Fish!

Some spicy (辛辣) food is so good that I really want my dog to try it. Have you ever had that thought? But can dogs eat spicy food? And do they like it?

Dogs actually have far fewer taste buds (味蕾) than humans, according to an animal expert. We have about 9,000 taste buds, while dogs only have around 1,700. 【小题1】 So if you try to feed your dog spicy food, it won’t even be able to taste the flavour that well. It’ll just feel the effects of the spice (香料).

【小题2】 They can feel the burning feeling of the spicy food, but they don’t taste the flavour as well as people do. In addition, spicy food can also taste bitter (苦的) to dogs, which they don’t like that much. While dogs’ sense of taste isn’t as strong as humans’, their sense of smell is much better. So your dog will also probably react to some strong smell of something spicy. 【小题3】

Not all spicy food is dangerous to dogs, but you still shouldn’t give your dog any. 【小题4】 Besides, spicy food is often salty, so dogs can get sick from eating too much salt.

If your dog accidentally eats some spicy food, you can give it a little milk. This is because spicy food can burn its mouth and lead to a stomachache. The same is true of people.

So don’t give your dog spicy food. It probably won’t really like it anyway.
