Maria Sharapova recently displayed her culinary skills as she learned how to make naan, a type of Indian bread, while on vacation in Abu Dhabi.
Sharapova recently rang in her 37th birthday, commencing the festivities early by enjoying a pre-birthday getaway to Spain with her fiance Alexander Gilkes. The Russian shared a glimpse of their trip on social media and raved about the delicious local cuisine they enjoyed in San Sebastian.
Continuing the celebrations, the former World No. 1 has taken a trip to Abu Dhabi for more adventures. Embracing the “sunny paradise,” she tried her hand at sandboarding, rode an ATV bike and ran on the dunes in the desert.
Maria Sharapova broadened her horizons further by taking part in a cooking lesson at the renowned Ecole Ducasse culinary school. Taking the activity “seriously,” the five-time Grand Slam champion fondly reminisced about being in her grandmother’s kitchen.
Sharapova documented the process of making the naans on social media as she worked under the chef’s guidance.
She also hilariously showed off the difference between her “crispy” naan and the chef’s “soft” one, seemingly having left hers in the oven for too long.
