Marian Rivera opens up about passion for cooking

When show business does not take much of Marian Rivera’s time, it is known that the Kapuso Primetime Queen delights herself in the kitchen preparing meals for her loved ones. Her dishes even get their own Instagram account.

After she wed long-time beau Dingdong Dantes last December, Marian also enrolled in a culinary school to hone her cooking skills.

In an interview with GMA News Online, the actress said that the culinary school has taken a back seat since she is busy preparing for her upcoming TV show "The Rich Man's Daughter" on GMA-7. But she said she will definitely go back once she can find a way to squeeze it into her hectic schedule.

Rivera also admitted that she is learning a lot of new skills in the kitchen because of the culinary school.

"Akala ko kasi dati 'pag nagluluto ako, marunong na ako. Marami pa pala akong gustong matutunan... At marami pa akong hindi alam," she said.

Among the things she learned from the culinary school are the proper ways to chop or slice food, create stock, and make her own butter.

Although she's learning different kinds of food, the mom-to-be said she will still stick to whipping up Filipino dishes, which are also her go-to comfort food. -- JST, GMA News`
