And that was the connection I loved. So, I kept doing it over and over again,” she said at the time.“When I was growing up, I wasn’t allowed to cook,” the celebrity chef continued. “I think my mother just wanted me in my room and she wanted the kitchen to herself.

And so she said, ‘It’s your job to study, it’s my job to cook, and just get out of the kitchen.’ So, I kind of always wanted to do it.”In 2017, she also joked to Katie Couric that she’s “the ultimate rebellion” because of her career choice after years of her mother not allowing carbs or butter.“My mother was obsessive about food. … She just kind of got dinner on the table.
