Kristen Stewart Recalls Cooking A BBQ Feast For The 'Eclipse' Cast

By Sandrine Milet

Apart from being the amazing Bella Swan and heating up the screen with both her costars Rob Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, it looks like Kristen Stewart can bring the heat to a new location — the kitchen. Yep, KStew has a new talent that she’s been hiding from the world: she can cook!

Last night at a special NYC screening of “Eclipse," Kristen admitted to her cooking achievements. “I cooked dinner for 20 people; I was really proud of myself,” she told MTV News reporter Josh Horowitz.

And apparently this feast wasn’t just for anybody. Of course, “the 'Twilight' cast showed up,” she explained.

But for some reason, our favorite wolf missed out on the barbeque. “I was not at the feast, Kristen,” Taylor joked around to our cameras, although he quickly added, “But I have tried her food.” He even gave us a quick sample of some of her unusual, but creative dishes. “Like, OK, you know kumquats? There's apparently a fruit called loquats. Yeah, I didn't know either. And she made a loquat pie.”

Although Taylor will attest to KStew’s culinary feats, as usual, Kristen is not too comfortable talking about herself or her hidden talent. “I get really embarrassed when people ask me what I cook, for some reason.” But she finally opened up and gave us a taste of what her dinner party was like. “There was like a big BBQ situation and, like, a bunch of steaks and veggies, and I made chicken piccata. I'm so embarrassed right now. But I made homemade marinara sauce starting at, like, 2 in the afternoon. It wasn't done until 8. It was incredible.”

Did you know Kristen liked to cook? Are you surprised she is so shy about it?
