Kelis can whip up a lot more than milkshakes — because she’s not just a singer, she’s also a trained chef who studied at Cordon Bleu.
The 36-year-old, who recently released her cookbook “My Life on a Plate,” tells Page Six that she’d love to appear on “Iron Chef.”
“I would love to do the show but … I cook at my leisure right now and I remember when I graduated from culinary school and when I was working on a line at a restaurant I was so fast because I was seasoned to be that way,” Kelis said, recalling what her life was like in 2008. “I’m not as fast as I was back then. I would need to get back into that frame of mind.”
“Those guys are beasts and they are so fast and so good,” she said. “I could be really creative, but definitely moving at my own pace right now. I definitely want to get my chops up.”
As for whom she’d like to cook for, she’s got one guest in mind.
“The only person I could think of is Jesus,” she said with a laugh, adding that she’s unsure what she’d prepare. “We would have to talk about it.”
Soon she’ll have another mouth to feed. Kelis is expecting her second son any day now. Knight, her 6-year-old son with ex-husband Nas, is excited about the new addition.
“He’s over the moon,” she shared. “He feels like … the baby is more related to him than any of us. He just feels like it’s his baby … he’s all about it. I’m like great, I’m so glad you’re into this.”
