We Have 'Little Women' Star Florence Pugh's Father To Thank For Her Cooking Tutorials

Social distancing has brought out a previously unknown hobby of “Little Women” actress Florence Pugh: cooking. For the last week, Pugh has been treating fans to videos of herself cooking a variety of dishes in her home kitchen.

“We’re back,” Pugh said in her latest Instagram story. “Cooking with Flo.”

The 24-year-old English actress admitted she had been feeling a bit “glum” lately in one of her earlier videos and explained that it was her father who inspired her to launch her cooking tutorials.

“My dad called me yesterday and said, ‘Why aren’t you dancing and why aren’t you cooking?’” She said in her first video featured in her Instagram highlights. “So this morning I woke up and I danced and I felt better and now I’m going to cook.”

“So as my dad said yesterday we have to do things that keep us happy, keep us bubbly and keep moving basically,” she added. “Get all of the weird horrid anxiety out of your system.”

Since the first video where she cooked “banged up veg [vegetables] that we didn’t know what to do with” she has continued to post regular cooking tutorials of herself making a number of dishes from her home.

The upcoming “Black Widow” star has also partaken in some self-deprecating humor, posting a comedic tutorial of herself making toast which she tried to amplify by calling it “brown bread.”

“That was probably the most strenuous part of the recipe,” she joked, in reference to having to first slice the bread before toasting. Her father clearly taught her more than one life lesson that she paid attention to because the actress once again gave him a shoutout.

“A crucial part of this recipe that I got taught very early on from my father is that there’s no point in having a good piece of toast unless you’ve got good butter with it too,” she said.

In many videos, Pugh has consistently urged fans not to waste food. Her most recent recipe featuring canned chickpeas, tuna, tomatoes and feta, is once again a hodgepodge of foods that she said were lying in her kitchen.

“Today is the day that I use the cans that I bought a week ago —yes, the cans that you have no idea what to use in, but that you bought because they last in your pantry for many, many years,” she said while lining up her ingredients on the countertop.
