Skip: Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Skip: Where'd You Go, Bernadette

We've hit a run of novels adapted into films! Here's another one. 'Where'd You Go, Bernadette' is based on the 2012 book of the same name, written by Maria Semple. Cate Blanchett is in the title role as Bernadette, a bored and agoraphobic mother who simply vanishes into thin air one day, leaving her daughter tasked with finding her.

It may not sound like it based on that description, but this is in fact a comedy movie, as evidenced by the presence of Kristen Wig in the supporting cast. Oscar winning director Richard Linklater is in the chair, which should mean we're in for a treat. The only concern is the repeated change of release date; this was originally supposed to come out in May 2018, before slipping to October, and now being pushed back again to March 22nd, 2019.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

IV

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
