Mumbai-based Gwen D`mello rarely enters the kitchen but when she does, the 15-year-old girl makes some of her favourite snacks. She shares, "I like to make French toast, cheese-stuffed pockets, pancakes or chili potatoes. I like to cook things that are easy and quick to make and are also tasty and sumptuous. I even go a step further and garnish my all-time favourite French toast with some chocolate syrup.” Even though Gwen is at the latter end of the generation, she is among scores of teens who like to enter the kitchen even if occasionally to enjoy some of their favourites and add their own twist to it. 

Generation Z or Gen-Z are the talk of the town with each passing day. They are fearless and experimentative not only on the internet and in the corporate world but also at restaurants and cafés outside. Understandably, all their food choices have been influenced by their mothers and fathers. While the parents emphasise on the need to eat good and healthy home-cooked food, they also take the liberty of introducing them to fast food joints in the city as times have changed. Beyond that, their food choices are also influenced by the place they are in to cater to their needs.
