“Klein, 31, learned to cook by making scrambled eggs in her grandmother’s kitchen, taking cooking classes at the local rec center with her mother, and watching Chef Emeril Lagasse on Food Network with her father.

“From a very young age, it was ‘Lauren’s going to be a chef,’ “ Klein said. “I always really loved cooking.””
