Besides cooking, Anthony also loves playing soccer and if he doesn’t become a chef when he gets older, he wants to be an artist or cartoonist.
He might be a master at cooking but according to his mum – Anthony’s cleaning skills need improving as she always has to drag him back into the kitchen to clean up the mess he makes.
