Kelis Puts On Her Chef Hat For Belvedere Dinner In Miami...

Singer, Songwriter, Fashion Icon...Chef??

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.
