Maria Sharapova Faces a Challenging Cooking Task During Her Birthday Vacation

Maria Sharapova, the former world number-one tennis star, has been exploring various interests post-retirement, from fashion to pickleball. However, her recent culinary adventure has surprised her fans as she showcased her cooking skills during a vacation in Abu Dhabi.

Sharapova, who celebrated her thirty-seventh birthday in Abu Dhabi, shared glimpses of her cooking training at the famous culinary school, Ecole Ducasse, on her official Instagram story. The tennis legend was seen preparing naan bread, a traditional Indian flatbread, under the guidance of an experienced chef. She even compared the experience to cooking in her grandmother’s kitchen, showing her dedication to learning new skills.

In one of the Instagram stories, Sharapova asked her fans if they preferred their naan bread soft or crispy, showcasing the final result of her culinary endeavor – fluffy naan bread glazed with butter and baked to perfection. Despite her strict diet during her playing career, Sharapova seems to be indulging in more adventurous eating habits post-retirement.

Sharapova has always emphasized the importance of a healthy diet, mentioning in a conversation with Porsche in 2020 that what you put into your body is crucial for overall well-being. She follows habits like avoiding gluten and starting her day with warm lemon water, which contribute to her glowing skin and good health.

While Sharapova continues to prioritize a healthy lifestyle, her recent foray into culinary arts highlights her love for food and willingness to explore new experiences even after retiring from professional tennis.
