North West, the 11-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian, has proven she won’t allow reality to be twisted. During a recent interaction with her mother for an Interview magazine feature, she was asked several questions, one of which pertained to Kim’s culinary skills. In response to the lighthearted question, ‘What are your thoughts on my cooking abilities?’, North delivered a straight-arrow response.
‘Your efforts in the kitchen have been scarce,’ she admitted. According to the candid youngster, the last time Kim wore the chef’s hat was during Halloween, two years ago. North vividly recalled her mother’s rare cooking attempt, noting it was a simple meal of macaroni and cheese served on that occasion.
Feeling the need to add to her daughter’s recollection, Kardashian reminded North of her other culinary attempts. ‘I also made fried chicken and cornbread,’ she added, acknowledging her limited repertoire with a chuckle, ‘Am I a one hit wonder? Did you enjoy that meal?’ To this, North extended a benign critique, acknowledging that the meal was ‘satisfactory’.
She even shared a surprising detail that shed light on her mother’s culinary forte in a different, more obscure area. In North’s opinion, despite her mother’s infrequent ventures into the kitchen, her expertise shines through when she prepares ‘sliced cucumbers with a dash of salt.’
Kim Kardashian, a woman popular worldwide, is the mother to four children. She and her former spouse, Kanye West, are parents to North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm West. This candid moment with North isn’t the first time Kim’s children have offered a critique of their mother’s cooking.
In 2023, Chicago, the youngest of the Kardashian-West children, candidly revealed their mother’s lack of culinary deeds. In her opinion, credit for meals served at their household should rightfully be given to their private chef, not to Kim. This revelation came to light when Chicago filled out an ‘All About My Mom’ questionnaire. She frankly stated, for her favorite dish that her mother cooks, ‘Mom is not the cook. We have a chef.’
Early this year, Khristianne Uy, fondly referred to as Chef K, who has long been associated with and served the Kardashian family, shared insights into the family’s diet regimen. She commends them for their discipline, noting that if they indulge in a high-calorie meal such as a grilled cheese sandwich, they balance it out with a rigorous gym session.
The acclaimed private chef mentioned that she collaborates with the family for ‘significant festive occasions’ and often adds a dash of creativity to her meals served at the Kardashian residence. She did, however, mention that the children can be ‘selective eaters.’
Yet, she pointed out, the Kardashians’ young ones are surprisingly open-minded. She believes that involving them in the cooking process makes them more willing to try new dishes. ‘They enjoy experimenting with different flavors,’ she confessed, showing the fun side of cooking with children.
Through these conservations and revelations, it’s clear that the Kardashians live a life of disciplined indulgence. They may enjoy a gourmet meal prepared at home, but they match it with dedicated fitness discipline. It manifests a different side of the Kardashian lifestyle; one that shows their commitment to maintaining their well-being.
As for Kim, it seems she may not be the regular chef in the kitchen, but that shouldn’t negate her motherhood in any way. It’s evident that her children enjoy her infrequent culinary exploits and the simplicity of her dishes, such as her well-received cucumber salad.
The young Kardashian-West children, while honest and upfront, show a joyful curiosity when it comes to food. What matters in the end isn’t who made the mac and cheese or who fried the chicken, but the memories being cooked up in the kitchen and around the dining table.
