Taylor Swiftis quite the chef!

“Taylor Swiftis an exceptional cook, and I love her,” she told the outlet. “She also makes a really good bolognese sauce and a really good chili that I love.”
Swift — whorecently splitfromJoe Alwynafter six years of dating — shares a passion for bolognese with her other ex Tom Hiddleston. In 2017, the actortoldGQthat he makes what has been described as “the mostincredible bologneseyou’ve ever had.” (His secret is he browns it on the stove before braising it in the oven. He also uses bacon and butter.)
Hadid also opened up toInStyleabout how she feels extra close with friends who cook for her.
“When you have friends that really also care about those special moments and the more intimate spaces and what can really come from putting an effort into making the time for that, I think that that’s when you start to find the friends that you really connect with, because you’re both working towards manifesting those really special moments,” Hadid added.
Swift previouslyspokeabout howIna Garteninspired her love of cooking.
To celebrate the 20th anniversaryBarefoot Contessain 2022, Garten appeared onFood Network Magazine’s November cover. Inside the issue, Garten’s celebrity pals, including Swift,shared their favorite Garten memories.
TheMidnightssongstress said that the cookbook author, who she called a “magnificent woman,” changed her outlook on cooking completely.
The “All Too Well” singer went on to say that “watching Ina prepare a meal changed my perspective on cooking and reframed it as something relaxing.”
“She made cooking feel like self-care,” Swift said. “Ever since, cooking has been my escape from stress and one of the only ways I can truly calm myself on a rough day. I’ll always be grateful to her for giving me that.”
Swift is also a fan of chef Yotam Ottolenghi, telling PEOPLE in 2019 that she was “working [her] way through theOttolenghi Simplecookbook.”
“I recently made the chicken marbella,” she said at the time.
