‘Ayesha Curry CAN cook.’ Mrs. Stephen Curry is multifaceted, one of which is being a chef. And her culinary skills are a huge advantage for Stephen Curry. Since he follows a strict diet and maintains an intake of 3000 calories, especially on game day. As the Golden State Warriors face the Orlando Magic tonight, Mrs. Curry is on a mission to get the win as she prepares a wholesome meal for Curry before the game.

The Golden Boy’s wife took to her Instagram story to share the appetizing breakfast she had cooked for him. She captioned the post, “Game day breakfast for my chooch.” And it surely looked like it did have a good portion of everything – protein, carbs, and fiber.

In an interview last November, Steph revealed that his dietary strategy on game day included targeting a calorie intake of 3000. This included vegetables, chicken, salmon, pasta, and rice. We all know his pre-game ritual of eating pasta. Interestingly, even Chef Curry’s higher-than-average calorie intake is still 600 calories less than an average American. Just goes to show his dedication to staying fit and his wife’s skill in keeping up with his lifestyle.

But how did Mrs. Curry get this pro at cooking? Does she have a background in it?

Ayesha Curry’s cultural background influences cooking

In an interview in 2019, Ayesha Curry was candid in sharing her connection with food. She said “My cultural upbringing is everything when it comes to my food. My mom’s Chinese and Jamaican, my dad’s Polish and black…I love that I can be kind of like a poster child for cultures fusing together and coming together and a poster child of family and togetherness because food really is love.”

And 3 things Ayesha loves the most are food, family, and functionality. That’s how she stepped into the professional culinary and lifestyle world. Food is something everyone in the world can relate to anywhere. She spoke about her underdog culinary beginnings and said, “I feel like I came in and just jumbled crap up. People like Chef Michael Mina have been very helpful… One thing that he told me was you can go to culinary school and you can learn the basic skills you need, but you can’t learn flavor and you can’t learn finesse…”

Ayesha felt like she could help people keep their family relationships alive and bring people together through food. Soon she began to venture on multiple fronts. Mrs. Curry started her own cooking show, “Ayesha’s Home Kitchen,” where she shared delicious recipes, and offered cooking tips and tricks to her viewers. She appeared as a judge on Food Network shows Chopped Junior and Guy’s Grocery Games, and was a regular contributor and frequent guest on The Rachael Ray Show and Good Morning America.

She featured in several magazines including Elle, Vogue, Time, InStyle, People, Vanity Fair, USA Today, Essence, PopSugar, Refinery29, Elite Daily, and Sunset Magazine. Ayesha is also an ambassador for No Kid Hungry, an organization that is working to end childhood hunger. She released her first cookbook ‘The Seasoned Life’. Ayesha was featured on the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Her accessible approach to cooking made her one of the most sought-after experts in food and lifestyle.

But in 2022, there was an incident that caught everyone’s attention when a sign outside a bar near Fenway Park in Boston had written in chalk, “Ayesha Curry can’t cook.” It was just one example of the back-and-forth between Celtics fans and Golden State players this series. In response, Golden State’s Stephen Curry wore a T-shirt that said “Ayesha Curry CAN cook” at Game 5 of the N.B.A. finals, defending the culinary skills of his wife. However, everyone got past it, and she continues to work passionately in the food and culinary world.

Recently, Ayesha Curry was appointed as a member of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition on March 24, 2023, for a 2-year term.
