10 Celebrities Who Basically Double As Chefs

Do you want to find out which stars are talented in the kitchen? Some have even written their own cookbooks or had their own cooking shows! Keep reading to see our list of foodie celebrities who are actually really talented cooks.

1. Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen is famous for modeling, her online persona, and for being married to musician John Legend. But she's also a very talented cook. She's written multiple cookbooks, both of which were well-reviewed bestsellers. Critics especially liked that her recipes weren't written to be "light" or "healthy" but were simply authentic, regular, delicious recipes.

2. Gigi and Bella Hadid

Models and sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid have a family farm in Pennsylvania, where they spent a lot of the 2020 COVID quarantine whipping up rustic recipes and sharing them on Instagram. The savvy internet actually figured out that Gigi Hadid was pregnant when she made a pasta with a spicy vodka sauce -- sans vodka. While Gigi likes cooking savory things, Bella has a sweet tooth and whips up desserts and other treats.

3. Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is a legit foodie too. Her father, Joe Germanotta, actually has a successful Italian restaurant in New York City, and he's passed on his skills to his daughter. She loves to get into the kitchen and whip up Italian-American classics. Gaga even had a Tuscany-inspired kitchen built especially so that she could focus on her love of cooking.

4. Questlove

Questlove of The Roots loves food so much that he has his own Instagram page for it at @questlovesfood.

He even claims his love of cooking is what has kept The Roots together for over 20 years.

5. Florence Pugh

Florence Pugh is one of the sought-after actresses in the business right now, but that doesn't mean she's only focusing on the big screen. In fact, she chronicles her adventures in the kitchen on a wildly popular cooking show on YouTube called Cooking with Flo. It's just her and her phone too -- nothing fancy.

6. Stanley Tucci

Stanley Tucci is one of the internet's favorite actors, but over the past few years, his passion for acting has shifted in a passion for food. He doesn't just eat it, or cook it, but he actively researches his culinary heritage for CNN on Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy. Some celebrities who have been invited to Stanley's house for dinner say it's second to none.
