Minka Kelly's feelings about food run deep. The actress who was once named the "Sexiest Woman Alive" by Esquire magazine, told Self, "I feel like food is love, and it's how I express love. I feed my friends and it makes me feel really good." 

The "Parenthood" actress took her hobby of cooking out of the home kitchen when she attended and graduated from a six-month program at the New School of Cooking in Culver City, California. When speaking about the decision, she told Entertainment Weekly, "I love to cook, so I just thought I would take it to the next level." In an attempt to combine her food skills with her on-camera career, the "Titans" actress has even talked about doing a traveling cooking show with friend food blogger Gaby Dalkin. Kelly told People of the potential show, "We're going to be traveling around the country and learning about all of those fascinating things to do with our food and the process where it goes from farm to table."

It's unclear if we will in fact get to see the California native's cooking skills on her own show but her acting career shows no signs of slowing down so fans of the actress need not fret in the meantime.
