Padma Lakshmi’s daughter Krishna takes over in the kitchen to cook a ‘chaotic’ dinner
Lakshmi shares a daughter with businessman Adam Dell.
In September, the celebrity chef posted on Instagram that it’s been a “really busy week here in New York” so she had her teenage daughter Krishna cook dinner.
Krishna, who is also referred to by the first A top chef host as “Little Hands,” said she would be making sriracha butter couscous. She went on to explain that she came up with the dish when she was 11 years old and that her mom “loved it so she wants me to cook it today.”
“Do you like to cook?” asked the cameraman.
In a perfect comedic moment, Krishna then dropped a piece of butter and covered her face with her hand.
“I like to cook,” she replied after putting the butter in the pan and getting back on the trail. “I don’t know if it’s a generational thing, but most of my self-cooked food is in the microwave and in a mug.”
She continued: »So when [my mom] cook, she says, ‘Oh yeah, let’s bake it, let’s put it in the oven, let’s make a frosting with washed egg whites.’ And I say, ‘Can I make instant ramen, please?'”
This was not the first time that Krishna had appeared in his mother’s kitchen. The Chef’s Daughter also appeared in a Hanukkah-themed episode Taste the nationconsidering that her father is Jewish.
“Her father’s family is from New York and they’re Ashkenazi Jews and they lived on the Lower East Side. So it would be disingenuous to do an episode about Ashkenazi Jews in New York and pretend I had nothing to do with it,” Lakshmi told PEOPLE during of her interview in November 2021. “It made perfect sense for her to be there for that Hanukkah dinner. And that’s why she’s there in that sequence.”
Krishna also isn’t afraid to roast her famous mom from time to time, like when she interrupted a cooking video posted on Instagram in August 2022 and told her mom that “nobody cares” about what she’s filming.
“My daughter keeps me humble,” Lakshmi captioned the video.
