and lucky to have an independent child who wants
to do everything on her own. Like Kensli and Ahoure,
Boykins speaks both French and English, so the trio
can mix and match the languages they speak
together in the kitchen.
“(Ahoure) hasn’t had to lift a finger in the kitchen
almost for so long it doesn’t even make sense,” she
said. “(Kensli) literally cries when her mom doesn’t
let her cook.”
Ahoure is working with Kensli on numbers and
measuring now, doing the measurements in front of
Kensli so she can take it all in and then having Kensli
mix the ingredients.
Ahoure has also made an eort to expand
Kensli’s cooking palette, connecting her with worldfamous
chefs like Nigeria’s Pierre Thiam for a
cooking class to make a traditional dish of fonio, an
ancient grain used in African cooking.
Ahoure also reached out to Atlanta chef Briana
Riddock on Instagram and set up a tour of Riddock’s
Rock Steady Atl. Riddock said that she also began
cooking at 4 years old and said that she was obsessed
with watching The Food Network instead of
cartoons.
“Kensli is special because her palette and
coordination is very advanced for her age,” Riddock
said. “She knows her flavors, and I was very
surprised at how sophisticated her taste buds were
for a child her age.”
Riddock showed Kensli how to plate her passion
fruit coconut cheesecake.
“The base of the cheesecake is coconut milk and
cream cheese, while the topping is a whipped cream
made with heavy cream and passion fruit puree,”
Riddock said. “We made the whipped cream together
and she was very coordinated using the mixer. She
tasted the passion fruit whipped cream and was able
to identify the sweet and sour flavor profiles.”
Boykins said that it has been fun to see how
quickly Kensli’s cooking has progressed and how
sharp she is observing and picking up on things.
“(Kensli)’s smart and she’s fun,” Boykins said.
“She’s a go-getter. She loves to swim, she loves to
play. Whatever she’s doing, she’s really focused. She’s
a very unique child. She’s very smart and she’s very
attentive. She understands.”
