US Vice-President JD Vance recently offered a candid and humorous take on his cooking journey, revealing the “best and worst" dishes he has ever cooked for his wife, Usha Vance. The conversation turned to food as Usha Vance had previously suggested that he “did not know how to cook much" before they met.
In an interview with Fox News’s Lara Trump, Vance said that naming the “worst [dish] is very easy."

“Usha’s a vegetarian and I am not. So I’m like thinking to myself, what does a vegetarian eat…So I went to the grocery store. I got those crescent rolls. I rolled them out like into a pizza shape…It was disgusting. Like it was actually inedible," the US Vice-President further said.
Looking back, he joked about the rocky start, saying, “It’s amazing that the relationship lasted because that was the first time that I ever cooked for her."
Since then, Vance said, his skills have come a long way. “The best thing that I’ve ever cooked? I’m pretty good at cooking now. But I can make a pretty good brioche bread."
Usha Vance highlighted another of his recent kitchen successes. “Most recently it’s been Shokupan, which is the Japanese milk bread…he’s been working on it for a while and he does it really well," she stated.
The light-hearted exchange offered a glimpse into their family life. The couple, who met at Yale Law School in 2010, are parents to three children — Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel — and are expecting a fourth child later this year.
Vance also spoke warmly about his wife’s role in his life and career. “I know her most of all as a great mom and a great wife, as a person who supports me, who’s so good to the kids, who makes it possible for them to grow up as normal kids," he said.
He added, “This is a person who doesn’t really care about the limelight, who’s not trying to sort of get out there in front of the crowds all the time, who just wants to give her kids a good life and who wants to be as good a public servant as possible."
“I think that’s what we should want out of our public leaders and certainly they have it in our second lady," he further said.
