Keira Knightley receives cooking lessons from mother

The 27-year-old actress, who recently got engaged to musician James Righton, is starting with the basic rules in the kitchen, reported Femalefirst online.

"I am an alright cook. Not brilliant, but alright. My mum's a really good cook, but we had a really small kitchen, so she could never actually teach me any of the stuff that she made. But now she is starting to," Knightley said.

"I have gotten really good recipes, which are excellent. I am good at, like, a one-pot dish. It is the timing. I always walk away at a wrong point. And then everything burns! But stews and curries, I am good at that," she added.

Knightley also said that she does not have many celebrity friends, whom she could call during a crisis.

"I don't have celebrity friends like that. I mean, I have ones that I would kind of call up to say, 'Hello, how are you? How is everything going?' But no, my friends are not actors," she said.
