Coronavirus outbreak has led the celebrities to bring out their inner chef

Three months into the year 2020, COVID-19 has taken the centre stage in our lives all around the world. All preventive measures on a global level have been taken to contain the virus meanwhile all of us are practising social distancing and self quarantining for ourselves as well as the people we love. Celebrities are no exception to this rule. Owing to the contagious nature of the disease, the government has shut all malls, theatres, and gyms. Many offices have asked employees to work from home, while schools and colleges have been shut down and cities are on lockdown. Self-quarantine has given us all the time we need to catch up with ourselves and our loved ones and celebrities are utilizing this time to the fullest and trying their hand at cooking. Take a look at what the celebs are cooking:

I love cooking for my family and friends but with my busy schedule, I hardly get time to pursue this passion of mine.
