Top Chef <\/em>and mom to 4-month-old Krishna, shares what brings her joy, from workouts near baby to a glass of very good wine.<\/p>\nWhen no ones looking, I eat:<\/strong> Ive never been ashamed of eating. Its healthy and attractive when a person has a good appetite.<\/p>\nThe three things I always keep in my pantry are…<\/strong> very good olive oil, harissa (Moroccan hot sauce paste), and Hediard black tea with rose from Paris.<\/p>\nMy favorite thing to cook for a man:<\/strong> The best thing to cook for someone you love is a simple and satisfying meal. I usually do a beautifully roasted chicken with green beans and potatoes or a lovely bowl of spaghetti with tomato and basil.<\/p>\nMy one health regret is…<\/strong> that my endometriosis didnt get diagnosed decades earlier, as it should have. Before I was finally referred to my surgeon and Endometriosis Foundation of America co-founder Tamer Seckin, MD, nobody had even uttered the word “endometriosis” to me.<\/p>\nIm getting my body back by…<\/strong> running up and down the stairs in my building. That way, Im close to home if Im needed, because Im nursing.<\/p>\nThe thing nobody tells you about having a baby:<\/strong> Im not telling, either.<\/p>\nMy favorite fast beauty trick:<\/strong> While my hair is still wet, I tend to keep it wound tightly in a knot until it dries naturally. This gives it a light wave.<\/p>\nMy go-to uniform:<\/strong> In the winter, a nice sweater dress and a great pair of high-heeled boots can take you from day to night in a flash. In the summer, a simple jersey dress with a pair of strappy heels never fails.<\/p>\nThe number-one quality I look for in a partner is…<\/strong> a sense of humor.<\/p>\nThe quality I like most about myself is…<\/strong> my sense of humor.<\/p>\nWhat relaxes me every time:<\/strong> a hot bath and a glass of Château Lafite 1982.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shayna FontanaFrom Health magazinePadma Lakshmi, 39, host of Top Chef and mom to 4-month-old Krishna, shares what brings her joy, from workouts near baby to a glass of very good wine.
