Where did you grow up/ Around the dinner table?
I grew up in Dallas. Around the dinner table would've been my Mum and my Step-Dad and my two older sisters. We would have been eating just depression era ration food. Everything was from a can.
It was either large sums of meat from a BBQ, and the sides were weird things from cans. I don't know why but we always ate like we were on a crazy budget.
With lots of love and appreciation to my mother and step father who always kept us fed, we ate garbage. We went to Sam's club one time, which is a place like Costco where you can buy things in bulk. It was very exciting we got to get 2 things of 24 packet of crunch bars and snickers bars. I think we ploughed through both of those in 2 days. We ate garbage, I have no idea how we survived.
If you were going to invite somebody round. Would you just order in?
Oh god yes. It would be no treat...Here’s a story; so around, I think it was probably 2015 Taylor Swift, who you might know, she invited me over to teach me how to cook a steak and asparagus and cauliflower. Something like that. And it’s very sweet of her to have done that and I don’t remember exactly why… I don’t remember if she experienced that I couldn’t cook and thought “I’m going to help this girl.” I’m not really sure how it came about but she brought me home and she taught me how to do the thing. So flashforward, a couple months later, I’m at my Laurel Canyons studio and I’m like “ you know what, I’m going to have a couple of friends over, make this meal that Taylor showed me how to make.” And my friends still mock me for it, to this day. I hear of them basically being “raw, crusty cauliflower” and “hockey puck steaks.” And these are people who one; they’re in the hospitality industry, they know how to cook. They know how to eat. I made them terrible food. They still mock me for it to this day.
