<p id=”par-1_54″>Head to the kitchen, Swifties, and get ready to throw a dinner party <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/taylor-swift/”>Taylor Swift</a> would approve of. The Grammy winner once revealed her go-to dishes for hosting a dinner party. Hint: They’re from huge names in the world of celebrity chefs. Plus, what her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/travis-kelce-brings-major-first-relationships-taylor-swift.html/”>boyfriend, Travis Kelce</a>, has said she’s “great” at making. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-swift-s-go-to-dinner-party-dishes-are-from-ina-garten-nigella-lawson-and-jamie-oliver”>Swift’s go-to dinner party dishes are from Ina Garten, Nigella Lawson, and Jamie Oliver</h2>
<p id=”par-2_37″>In 2019, Swift revealed to <a href=”https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a26628467/taylor-swift-30th-birthday-lessons/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Elle</a> some of the dishes she considers dinner party fixtures. “I’ve always cooked a LOT, but I found three recipes I know I’ll be making at dinner parties for life,” she wrote.</p>
<p id=”par-3_39″>One is <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/ina-garten/”>Ina Garten</a>’s Real Meatballs and Spaghetti. Featured in the Food Network star’s <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ina-gartens-barefoot-contessa-cookbooks-in-order.html/”>2002 cookbook</a>, <em>Barefoot Contessa Family Style</em>, Swift deviates from Garten’s instructions slightly. “I just use packaged bread crumbs and only ground beef for meat,” she noted. </p>
<p id=”par-4_49″>The “Fortnight” singer is also a big fan of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/celebrity-chef-nigella-lawsons-net-worth-and-her-tweet-that-many-are-calling-insensitive.html/”>Nigella Lawson</a>’s Mughlai Chicken. <span style=”margin: 0px;padding: 0px”>The cookbook author explained on her <a href=”https://www.nigella.com/recipes/mughlai-chicken” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Nigella</a> website that it’s not a dish “you can bang out in a moment.”</span> So picture Swift spending an afternoon in the kitchen at any one of her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/inside-taylor-swifts-homes-nashville-new-york.html/”>multiple homes</a> making it. </p>
<p id=”par-5_23″>Last but not least, Swift loves Jamie Oliver’s Chicken Fajitas with Molé Sauce, which, per his <a href=”https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-breast/clare-s-chicken-fajitas-with-cheat-s-mole-sauce/”>instructions</a>, come together in under 30 minutes. </p>

<p id=”par-6_42″>Swift’s skills in the kitchen go beyond cooking. She’s also said to be a talented baker. (Is there anything she <em>can’t</em> do?) Former <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/nfl/”>NFL</a> player Bernie Kosar recalled Swift bringing cinnamon rolls she baked herself to a pregame meal at Kelce’s house. </p>
<p id=”par-7_122″>“That was at his house like three hours before the game. We’re having [our] pregame meal, and Taylor is so nice,” Kosar told <a href=”https://omny.fm/shows/tobin-beast-leroy/how-taylor-swifts-cinnamon-rolls-thwarted-bernie-k” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Audacy</a>’s AM 560 Sports WQAM in December 2023. “She comes in by herself, and she’s so cool. She brings…she made her homemade cinnamon rolls for Travis for pregame meal.”<br><br>Another specialty of Swift’s is homemade Pop-Tarts. Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid once said they helped Swift “fit in” with Kelce’s teammates. “Kind of behind-the-scenes, she, to fit in—she didn’t even know she was doing this, I don’t think—she likes to cook,” he said during a February 2024 interview (via <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFcPWJN5nbg” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>YouTube</a>). “So she made the offensive linemen these homemade Pop-Tarts. So it was over. She knew right where to go.” </p>

<p id=”par-8_36″>Those in Swift’s star-studded circle of friends, as well as her boyfriend, Kelce, have gushed about how talented she is in the kitchen. Actor <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/channing-tatum/”>Channing Tatum</a> praised her ability to cook a fancy meal while multitasking. </p>
<p id=”par-9_39″>“What’s beautiful and also frustrating—she can also just cook a random, three-star Michelin Italian meal,” he told <a href=”https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/channing-tatum-taylor-swift-cook-blink-twice” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>SiriusXM</a> while promoting his new movie <em>Blink Twice</em>. Swift will ask friends what “genre” they want to eat, and she’ll make it. </p>
<p id=”par-10_33″>“We’ll be like, ‘Italian,’” he said. “And she’ll just whip out a risotto. And she’s talking to you while she’s doing it.” Tatum also noted Swift provides dessert, such as her homemade Pop-Tarts. </p>
<p id=”par-11_56″>At a June 2024 press conference, Kelce had some kind words for Swift’s cooking skills, too (via <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/food/news/travis-kelce-says-he-thoroughly-enjoys-cooking-with-taylor-swift/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a>). “Taylor makes a great Pop-Tart and cinnamon roll,” he said after noting he’d prefer not to share what they <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-love-downtime-spend-date-nights.html/”>like making together</a> because he “thoroughly enjoy[s] cooking with her, so it’s something I’d rather just keep personal.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_30″>Swift is on a break from touring—her Eras Tour resumes in October—which means she has time to host dinner parties and/or do all of the cooking and baking she wants. </p>
