Drew Barrymore was born in Culver City, California, into a revered acting family that includes, among many others, her grandfather John Barrymore. She started performing in commercials before her first birthday. At age six she was chosen by director Steven Spielberg to co-star as ‘Gertie’ in E.T.: The Extraterrestrial. In 1995 she created her own production company, Flower Films, with partner Nancy Juvonen. Their first film was the 1999 comedy Never Been Kissed, followed by the box office hit Charlie’s Angels in 2000. Firmly established as a production powerhouse, Flower Films subsequently produced the features 50 First Dates, cult favorite Donnie Darko, Duplex, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Music and Lyrics, Fever Pitch, He’s Just Not That Into You, and Whip It (which she directed and appeared in). Drew won a 2009 Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for her role as fallen heiress Edith Bouvier Beale in the lauded HBO production of Grey Gardens. She also starred in and executive produced the Netflix original series Santa Clarita Diet. Today, Drew hosts her own daytime talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, on CBS.

pilar valdes

Pilar Valdes was born and braised in the sticky tropical hearth of Manila, Philippines, amidst the spin of her family's lazy susan. She graduated with a BA from Sarah Lawrence College and spent the early years of her professional life working with young people through popular education workshops and video storytelling. In 2010, longing for both the proverbial stove of her childhood and relationships forged over shared meals, she switched careers and co-founded Kickshaw Cookery, a bespoke catering company placing a premium on carefully-sourced ingredients and thoughtfully-crafted menus. She currently works as a private chef and is a regular culinary contributor on The Drew Barrymore Show. She has always been a good eater.
