- Lauren's interest in cooking (and wine) is inspired by her parents' love of Italian cuisine, and she learned the recipes she considers her specialties from them, including homemade pasta, pesto, and marinara. While she's definitely more of a savory person, she enjoys baking and shares that interest with her mom.
- She completed a sushi-making class and proudly displays the certificate in her kitchen.
- Lauren keeps vegetable and herb gardens in her backyard, not only as a hobby, but also to incorporate fresh produce in her cooking.
