Liza Colón-Zayas has always been a cook. She also just happens to play one on TV. She has won critical acclaim for her portrayal of line cook Tina in FX on Hulu’s “The Bear.” In Season 2—now streaming—Tina attends culinary school. To prepare, she worked with a professional chef.The lessons upped her game: “I learned how to hold a knife correctly. I learned basic slicing, dicing, how to julienne. I learned how to blanch. I filleted a lot of fish. I poached oysters.
This was in addition to her Broadway debut in the Tony-nominated “Between Riverside and Crazy” and celebrating three decades as a member of the Labyrinth Theater Company. But offstage, she holds her own in the kitchen of the New York City home she shares with her husband, actor David Zayas.The first thing people notice about my kitchen is:
that it feels cozy. It has modern tile and it looks fancy, but it’s really tiny. I’m proud of my kitchen. It’s the sweetest kitchen I’ve ever had in my life.my big, heavy aluminum ollas, the old-school kind my abuela had. If I make rice in other things I’m filled with terror. I’ve shipped them to different places where I was working.. I call it the “Fresh Prince.” When I have a real day ahead of me, my girl gets filled up with Colombian coffee beans.my seasonings.
I always have my adobo seasoning. Salchichón sausage. Gigantic bags of Carolina rice and many, many cans of beans. I try to have things that are quick and easy and will help me fake it till I make it into something authentically Latino.Pinot Grigio in the warmer months, but year-round, I am a Scotch girl. I like my Glenmorangie single-malt on the rocks.fresh herbs that are always on the verge of turning. There’s bacon, salami. I have a ton of cured products. We are not healthy eaters.
