There’s nothing quite like watching a parent’s pride shine through as their kid takes on a new challenge, and Gwyneth Paltrow is no exception. When her teenage son, Moses, decided to flex his culinary muscles in the kitchen, she couldn’t resist capturing the moment. On Easter Sunday, April 12, the Iron Man star documented her 14-year-old’s impressive dumpling-making skills, proving that talent runs in the family.
Sharing the experience on Instagram, Gwyneth gave her followers an inside look at how they prepared their holiday feast. “We religiously follow @eater_la, who kindly alerted us that the legendary @mama_luskitchen was selling their famous dumplings frozen,” she wrote in her caption. “Moses crafted the dipping sauce, and let’s just say, the rest is history.”

Moses Takes the Lead in the Kitchen
In the first clip, Gwyneth gave viewers an exclusive glimpse of her rarely-seen son as he expertly whipped up some dipping sauces for their eagerly awaited appetizer. “I’m not sure I know the difference between mincing and dicing, but you’re doing an incredible job,” the proud mom praised her young chef. “So, how many dumpling sauces do we have so far?”
“We’ve got two, and we’re working on our third,” Moses replied confidently while chopping garlic on the cutting board. “This one includes spring onions and hot oil, along with soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and ginger. It’s a flavor explosion!”
Step-by-Step Sauce Creation
Gwyneth continued to showcase Moses’ impeccable dicing skills, panning the camera across their impressive array of mixing bowls. “Right now, I’m mincing some garlic to add to our sauce, which consists of hot pepper sesame oil, rice vinegar, hot water, sugar,” Moses explained. “Next, we’ll toss in this garlic, toasted sesame seeds, and a touch of sesame oil. It’s all about layering the flavors!”
From Amateur to Pro Chef
In the second video, Moses looked every bit the professional chef as he skillfully heated a pan over the flame on their luxurious stove. “What are you doing now?” Gwyneth asked curiously. “I’m toasting sesame seeds to add to sauce No. 3,” Moses replied with a smile, proving that he’s got the cooking game down to a tee.

The Final Touch: A Feast Fit for Royalty
After sharing a third video of the dumplings sizzling on the stove, Gwyneth treated her followers to a final look at their Easter dinner. “Here are the Mama Lu’s dumplings,” she announced in the fourth clip. “And don’t forget my gluten-free scallion pancakes and some fresh Asian slaw. It’s a feast!”
“Here are your soup dumplings, Mo Mo!” Gwyneth exclaimed excitedly while presenting the star of the show. “Yay!” Moses could be heard shouting in the background. Before wrapping up her culinary journey, the Shakespeare in Love alum also highlighted “the random, inexplicable lemon potatoes, fried rice — one with egg, one without — and some delicious teriyaki chicken.” Talk about a spread!
For a mom who’s known for keeping her kids’ lives private, Gwyneth’s decision to share these precious moments was met with excitement from her fans. “Moses is adorable! Great work, mama,” one follower commented on the Academy Award winner’s post. Another chimed in, “What a talented young man!” A third added, “This looks absolutely amazing… and what a sweet boy!”
Celebrating a Milestone Birthday
Earlier in April, Gwyneth celebrated Moses’ 14th birthday, proving just how quickly her little man is growing up. The Contagion actress shared some adorable snapshots of her son, along with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. “This kid is absolutely incredible, and today he turns 14. It’s hard to believe,” she gushed on April 8. “Moses, you’re the kindest soul, and you have such a unique perspective on the world. You set goals and achieve them, you never give up, and you’re incredibly talented. I hope you never stop hugging me goodbye when you leave the room. I love you more than words can express.”
As Moses and his sister Apple continue to grow, we can only hope that Gwyneth keeps sharing these special moments with her fans. After all, who wouldn’t want to see more of this talented family in action?
