These hot celebs have taken their passion for cooking to a new level.
Models have often been accused of starving themselves to achieve the perfect body.
But here are a bunch of models who eat and love to cook for others too!
Some have their own culinary shows, while others are sharing their interesting recipes and food stories with the world through their cookbooks.
Take a look at eight such models-turned-chefs and cookbook authors.

'Growing up baking was my biggest passion, I would make tarts and cheesecakes, cookies and pies. Whipping something that was liquid then rises like magic into a cake is still incredible to watch,' she revealed on her blog.
Cooking is her way to spread happiness and she has a wonderful garden from where she gets her basic ingredients to cook.

IMAGE: American model Karlie Kloss' fortune is valued at $10 million and she has doubled her earnings since 2015. But she's been in the news not just for her modelling career.
Supermodel Karlie Kloss' mother was an amazing cook and that's probably how she got introduced to cooking.
At the age of 16, she got an 'aha' idea while baking -- she decided to fuse her love for food with charity and introduced her healthy, vegan cookies called Karlie's Kookies, which are sold to benefit hungry children -- every tin contributes to 10 meals for hungry children.

The model's cooking show How It's Dunn was extremely popular and exciting. The show was set in Thailand and Jordan shared her experiences exploring the local markets there to source ingredients to cook her favourite Thai cuisine. When she's not modelling or shooting her show, Jordan keeps herself busy by making some interesting food for her son.
