Valentina Shevchenko is originally from Kyrgyzstan, a former Soviet republic, but she is currently registered as fighting out of the city of Lima, Peru. She is 30-years old, and she was born on 7 March 1988. She is 5'5" tall (which is about 165 cm) and she weighs 125 pounds, which is 56.7 kg in the metric system. Her fighting class is flyweight, and she is a part of the Tiger Muay Thai fighting association.
She is one of the more successful fighters to be listed in today's list, having won 15 out of her 18 registered fights according to the Sherdog MMA tracking website. She has won 27% of all of her fights with a knockout, which must have been entertaining to watch for her fans. She has also lost a single time from a knockout. Her last fight was against Priscila Cachoeira, which happened relatively recently, on February 3, 2018. According to the frequency of her fights, we can expect her to fight against during the next 12 months.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
