More recently, Padma reflected on her relationship with food, cooking, and how her mom has been a huge influence on her.
“I’ve always loved to cook,” Padma told People in a new interview. “If I look back on my childhood and how I liked to spend my time with family and friends, it was always cooking. It was always in the kitchen. That’s where I was happiest.” Indeed, Padma’s time growing up was truly shaped by food, and the woman who cooked it: her mother!

She was also a single mom for much of my childhood, so she was extremely efficient and fast in the kitchen,” the Taste the Nation creator said.
