TV host, chef, and actress Padma Lakshmi argues in a recent New York Times essay that Vice President Kamala Harris' passion for cooking reveals qualities that would make her a successful leader. Lakshmi highlights Harris's 'clear delight in cooking' and her willingness to share personal details about food, comparing it to Barack Obama's love of basketball or Donald Trump's interest in golf.
TV host, chef and actress Padma Lakshmi argued that Vice President Harris' qualities as a cook also show her promise as a leader in a recent guest essay. 'I see what everyone else sees on Kamala Harris ’s résumé: a history of public service that qualifies her for the presidency,' Lakshmi wrote in a guest essay published in The New York Times. 'But I would argue that the qualities she shows as a cook might say even more about her success as a leader.
In various ways, Ms. Harris’s candidacy is reinventing the rules, as she simply bypasses old expectations about race, gender and political campaigning,' Lakshmi continued. 'Food is yet another example of how Ms. Harris sidesteps generations of tension.' Lakshmi said that Harris' candidacy also shows cultural shifts around how voters view female politicians and cooking. 'Cooking was for a long time a trap for female political figures,' Lakshmi wrote.
