(Last updated Feb. 4 2011)Taylor Swift and Lorde Take Cooking Lesson in Rhode Island Taylor Swift recently had the chance to once again mix two things she loves: Girlfriend time and cooking lessons. The Giver star recently teamed up with the Grammy-winning upstart Lorde (one of her good buddies) to learn a few tricks from chef Jeanie Roland at Ella’s Fine Food and Drink. sushi grade fish cambridgeThe popular French-Asian restaurant is near Swift’s home in Westerly, Rhode Island. how to make sushi rice nishikiLorde posted the above Instagram shot with the caption, “Took a wonderful cooking class in Rhode Island alongside the already-super-good-cook, ms. @taylorswift.”sushi online bestellen freiburg

Ella’s co-owner James Roland described Swift and Lorde as “gracious young ladies” and praised their enthusiasm. “They had a great time and they couldn’t have been nicer and more determined to cook with Chef Jeanie. They are both very talented cooks,” he said. The musicians learned how to make tuna tartare tacos, one of the restaurant’s most popular appetizers. The fish is punched up with ingredients like sesame oil and fresh ginger and served in a “won-taco” (wonton taco).kato sushi menu mission Although the pics were posted Monday and James Roland wouldn’t spill about when exactly the class happened, it seems to have been an earlier date, given that Swift has been jet-setting from the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday to The Giver premiere in New York on Monday night.youda sushi chef 2 free download

Swift also posted the below shot with a glowing review: “Thank you to Chef Jeanie at Ella’s Fine Food and Drink for giving us the best and only cooking lesson we’ve ever had! Added James Roland, “Tacos are one of Taylor’s favorite things in the world.” From Swift’s thrilled expression, it looks like she’s thinking, “Tacos, you belong with me,” and James Roland confirmed her happy state of mind. youda sushi chef online full“They enjoyed everything they cooked, and because it was a private lesson, they obviously got a little more hands-on attention.” jiro dreams of sushi eng sub online(You’ll find the recipe below, if you’d like to taste its star cred for yourself.) This isn’t the first time Swift has flaunted her culinary chops on social media: She’s taken a cooking lesson from Ina Garten at the TV chef’s Hamptons home and also baked chocolate-peppermint cookies during a girls’ night in with Kelly Osbourne.

From the looks of things, the country star is talented enough to launch a second career in the lifestyle realm, à la Blake Lively and Jessica Biel. Time will only tell if the musicians’ session in the kitchen will inspire them to team up on other creative pursuits: A Lorde-Swift duet, perchance?

FILED UNDER: Food , Lorde , Stars & Chefs , Taylor Swift On a clear day, you can see forever—or at least that’s the wicked thought behind L.A. designer Agi Berliner’s transparent idea: see-through jeans. Exhibitionists notwithstanding, most folks wear them over bathing suits or as attention-getting evening wear with halters, garter belts and body stockings. Created for the disco crowd, the $34 jeans are selling like, well, hot pants. In just six weeks, 25,000 pairs have already been sold in such major department store chains as Macy’s, Bonwit’s and Saks. “What’s limiting American designers is that we’re afraid to do something different,” says Berliner, 32, a Hungarian émigré who fled with her family to the U.S. in 1956. Agi thought up the gimmick in London while marveling at the way plastics were being employed by designers of punk fashion. In her L.A. office, where she designs for La Parisienne junior sportswear, Agi spent five days on the phone and six weeks testing to come up with the right plastic.
