Kelis Shows Off Her Recent Culinary Training At Private Belvedere Vodka Dinner In Miami.
Last night, musician Kelis hosted a dinner presented by Belvedere Vodka to celebrate the launch of her upcoming album 'Flesh Tone' and to reveal her unknown passion, cooking. Held in a private bungalow at the W. South Beach, Kelis welcomed guests including Interscope-Geffen-A&M Chairman Jimmy Iovine, DJ Benny Benassi, DJ Rashida, Chicago Bears player Adewale Ogunieye, Kansas City Chiefs player Thomas Jones, DJ/musician Calvin Harris, Burns, Jack Splash and more, to try the menu she created and prepared herself. Kelis told her guests that awhile back she decided to take a step away from music and went to culinary school, where she found her a new love, cooking. Kelis is now on top of both of her games-- music and cooking-- and together they made a night to remember. In addition to the delicious food, which Benny Benassi and others raved about, guests were the first to hear Kelis' new album while sipping Belvedere cocktails.
