Padma Lakshmi Says Daughter Krishna, 15, Finds Her ‘Overbearing’ in the Kitchen (Exclusive)

Padma Lakshmi told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview during the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen that she loves to cook with her 15-year-old daughter Krishna, but the teen doesn't feel the same way, as she thinks her mother can be 'a little overbearing.'

PEOPLE caught up with the Top Chef alum during the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, where she spoke about her upcoming cookbook, Padma’s All American: Tales, Travels, and Recipes from Taste the Nation and Beyond, which is set to be released in November. And you know, often when I'm traveling, I'm only there for a couple of days sometimes, or I don't have a lot of time, or I'm there for six weeks, but I'm eating so much food at work, so I need something quick and easy to taste,” she said. And though the former Taste the Nation host is a seasoned pro in the kitchen at this point in her career, she has sound advice for those looking to dip their toes into the culinary world.
