There’s no denying that Katie Lee knows her way around the kitchen, creating mouthwatering dishes that leave everyone wanting more. But now, the 39-year-old cookbook author is dreaming of a future where her newborn daughter, Iris, joins her in the culinary adventure. In a candid interview with People, Katie opened up about her new life as a mom and expressed her excitement about one day cooking side by side with her little girl.
On Wednesday, November 25, Katie couldn’t hide her enthusiasm when she talked about what’s coming next for her and Iris. “I’m looking forward to spending more time in the kitchen with Iris,” she said, her voice filled with joy. For Katie, who shares her baby girl with husband Ryan Biegel, this isn’t just about cooking—it’s about creating memories. “I have her little chair that we put on the floor, and I cook while talking to her the entire time. It’s almost like I’m hosting my own mini cooking show just for Iris,” Katie shared. “I hope she’ll grow up wanting to learn to cook too.”
Introducing Iris to the World of Cooking
As a devoted mom, Katie is setting the stage for Iris’s culinary journey. “I talk to her the whole time, telling her what I’m doing and why,” Katie explained. “It’s like I’m giving her a personal cooking lesson, even if she doesn’t know it yet.” While Iris is still too young to pick up a spatula, Katie is confident that her little girl will develop a love for cooking as she grows older.

But don’t worry—Ryan, the actor known for his role in Shallow Hal, has stepped up to the plate. “Ryan is cooking a lot more now, and he does the dishes too, which is amazing!” Katie exclaimed.
Ryan, who married Katie in 2018, shares her excitement about raising a family that loves being in the kitchen. “Some of my best memories from childhood involve being in the kitchen and learning about food,” Ryan reflected. “I hope Iris has the same kind of experiences and creates beautiful memories of her own.”
A Family That Loves Food
Since Iris’s arrival in early September 2020, Katie and Ryan have embraced their roles as parents with open arms. Katie, who previously gained fame as a star on Top Chef, announced the birth of her daughter with a heartwarming post on social media. “Welcome, baby Iris Marion Biegel,” she wrote alongside a photo of her snuggling her newborn. “9.2.20.
