Jennifer Lopez has spoken of the wonders that cooking plays in creating normalcy in her family home.

The 41-year-old star has two-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with singer hubby Marc Antony. She told Glamour magazine, “I like to cook Puerto Rican food. That’s what I grew up on, rice, beans, meat, and some Italian-American food. “I know my way around the kitchen. Marc doesn’t cook, but he will prepare an occasional turkey.”

Lopez also discussed her struggle to regain her famous curves after pregnancy, saying, “It takes a year. You’re not going to get slim in six weeks. For me, it’s been back and forth. Now, two years later, I feel back to normal.”
