Teyana Taylor Trades Mic for Chef's Hat

Singer, dancer, and actor Teyana Taylor is embarking on a new culinary journey, enrolling at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. Taylor views cooking as an art form and a grounding activity, finding solace in the precision required for complex dishes. Her dedication to her studies is evident, as she juggles business classes and culinary training alongside her entertainment career, often completing assignments on her iPad.

Attending classes online presents a unique challenge for Taylor, as she lacks direct instructor feedback to correct her techniques. Nevertheless, she is committed to excelling, proudly stating she is a straight-A student. This pursuit of culinary mastery is inspired by her passion for creating, which she finds therapeutic and finds comfort in the kitchen's rhythm.

Taylor particularly enjoys crafting homemade pizzas for her daughters, Junie and Rue, among other dishes like butter, cornbread, and pilaf rice. Her announcement to enter the culinary field in June was celebrated with a playful video, emphasizing how cooking and baking have always been more than hobbies, serving as her sanctuary and a deeper form of creative expression.
