Who will ever forget the character “Isabella” starring from the movie “Woman on Top?” Our mouth poured out with water, our lips burned and heart rose while watching this movie. A beautiful love story with the blend of culinary. I would like to tell you that we’re not talking about Penelope here, we are talking about a “real-life Isabella.”

She is often compared/paralleled to this character by some. Her name is Padma Lakshmi. She changed the ideology towards cooking and eating. She managed readers and viewers to understand that we can prepare tons of recipes with healthy ingredients and maintain body-physique.

A “Tamil” origin but won the hearts of American and around the world in cookbooks and her cooking shows. Naming one of the hosts/judges of the primetime “” since 2006 and earned Emmy Nomination for “Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program,” Planet Food and Padma’s Passport for Discovery Channel at the same time working as a model. Born on September 1, 1970 as Padma Parvati Lakshmi Vaidynathan at New Delhi, India. Padma’s childhood life is quite difficult for any child like her. She always travel back and forth for her mother’s and father’s place since they separated at her age of one. Her father is an executive from a reputable pharmaceutical company Pfizer.
