Brooklyn Beckham is embracing his love of cooking — something he says he owes to his father.

In a new interview with British news outlet The Times, Brooklyn opened up about learning to cook from his dad, retired soccer star David Beckham, while poking a little fun at the chef skills of some of his loved ones.

"My dad was always the one cooking in the house, my mum not so much," he explained of David, 48, and mom, designer Victoria Beckham, 49. "I just loved hanging out with him in the kitchen, I loved the smell of food."

Brooklyn has been sharing cooking content on social media for several years, and also helmed a 2021-2022 Facebook Watch series called Cookin' with Brooklyn. In it, Brooklyn teamed up with professional chefs or celebrities to craft unique culinary dishes.

The 24-year-old said that now the next generation of Beckhams (he and his siblings — brothers Romeo, 21, and Cruz, 18, and sister Harper, 12) gather together to cook. "We never say it’s like a competition, even though we give each other a bit of stick about it — that's just what brothers do. All of us in the kitchen. Just listening to music, cooking together, it’s fun," said Brooklyn. "The best."


One person who doesn't share Brooklyn's love for food prep is his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. When asked by The Times if the actress, 29, can cook, he teased, "Not to save her life!"

Brooklyn told the outlet that he's never taken a cooking class, but has spent time watching online MasterClass offerings with chefs. He also noted the connections he made through Cookin' with Brooklyn: "I've been lucky enough to do videos and hang out with all these different types of chefs, learning different things, like [the renowned U.S. baker] Nancy Silverton, who is one of my favorite chefs. She's a really cool person."

Some of Brooklyn's cooking content has earned him criticism, but he takes the internet hate in stride.

"I always wish them well, the haters," he said in the interview. "I'm just doing what I love doing, staying healthy, being happy, and that's what it is. There are always going to be people out there who try and pull you down."

Victoria and David just shared a peek at their own cooking and eating habits, with the former Spice Girl revealing on Instagram Saturday that the couple make green juice daily. The concoction includes spinach, apple, pear, broccoli, cucumber, celery, lemon, ginger and lime.

  Winter skin care In winter, keep your skin hydrated by using a moisturizer and drinking plenty of water. Use a gentle cleanser, and don't forget sunscreen, as UV rays can still damage your skin in colder months.  In addition to the basics, consider these winter skin care tips: 1. **Hydrate:** Increase water intake to combat indoor heating and maintain skin hydration. 2. **Humidify:** Use a humidifier to add moisture to dry indoor air, preventing your skin from drying out. 3. **Exfoliate:** Gently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells, allowing moisturizers to penetrate better. 4. **Lip Care:** Use a lip balm to prevent chapped lips. Look for products with hydrating ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil. 5. **Protect Hands:** Wear gloves when braving the cold to protect your hands from harsh weather. 6. **Avoid Hot Water:** Hot showers can strip the skin of natural oils.

Will brining chicken breast or any meat with wood chips or chunks enhance its flavor like how moonshine is aged?

Brining meat, including chicken breast, typically involves soaking it in a solution of salt, sugar, and water to enhance moisture and flavor. While wood chips or chunks are commonly used for smoking meat to impart a smoky flavor, they aren't typically part of the brining process. Brining primarily affects the texture and moisture content of the meat, while smoking with wood chips or chunks adds a distinct smokiness to the flavor. Aging moonshine involves a different process, usually in wooden barrels, which imparts flavors from the wood and interactions with the alcohol over time. If you're looking to enhance the flavor of chicken breast, you might consider marinating or brining for added moisture and taste, and separately using wood chips or chunks during the cooking process for a smoky flavor. Combining these techniques can create a rich and flavorful result. Certainly! Here's a more detailed process for combining brining and smoking with wood chips for flavor...

What are the key nutritional strategies to maintain muscle mass while in a calorie deficit for fat loss, and can you provide a sample day's meal plan?
