(KUTV) Local chef Penelope Lorenzana is making her mark in the culinary world -- and she's only 11 years old.

But, you'd never guess her age by the meals she is dishing up.

"I love to cook," she said.

Chef Moppy, as she is called, already has seven years of experience.

She has already graduated from the Park City Culinary Institute, a top culinary program for people typically 18 years old and older.
