CAT CORA ON BEING A MOM CHEF

The Iron Chef actually has six sons and when asked how she actually manages it, Cora simply says that she always make sure to cook for her boys. It would be pretty ironic that she could actually make wonderful and sumptuous dishes for other people and not her children, which is why she makes sure to always have a meal for them. In fact, she said that cooking with her sons is actually normal in her household.
Cora believes that it is very important for her to be able to influence her children when it comes to cooking especially at such a young age. Being able to give them a chance to taste something new every time as well as teach them skills that they could carry on for life. Then again, one of the most important thing for her as a mother is that cooking with her children will serve as one of the best memories she and her sons would have, which is why she always make sure to make time for them.
