Glamour: The Top Chef star said that she didn't foresee Krishna following in her foodie footsteps
'She is very actively pursuing her development in music outside of school, that's what she's interested in,' the New York Times best-selling author revealed.
The Top Chef star said that she didn't foresee Krishna following in her foodie footsteps.
'She always likes to make up recipes cause she sees me doing it, but it's not like, "Oh, I'm gonna be a chef.'"
Padma noted that she does not permit her daughter, to cook with heat or use knives, but she's 'great' at preparing salads and desserts.
'She's a good cook, she wants to eat well, she likes to cook for fun, but I doubt she's going to go into the culinary arts and that's OK,' said the 5ft9 star.

Padma, who was born in Chennai, India, was asked by the network about her rekindled romance with Dell, and said that she's 'happy with everything right now' in her love life.
'I have nothing to complain about,' said the TV star, who was reticent to put labels on where she's at in her relationship with Dell.
'We date, I don't know guess you can call it dating,' said Padma, who was famously married to Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie, 70, from 2004 until 2007. 'We make dinner for our kid and hope she goes to sleep soon, so we can have a few hours before we flake out and collapse from exhaustion too.'
