Brotherly Culinary Bond

Sam Holland, a professional chef and author of Kitchen Kickstart, recently revealed how he’s been helping Tom stay on top of dinner duties. With Zendaya’s plant-based dietary needs in mind, Sam has shared vegetarian recipes from his cookbook so that Tom can prepare meals while she’s away shooting. “I’m especially proud of the veggie section,” he shared, noting how Tom went through the recipes “one by one and really enjoyed them.”

From Amateur to “A Fine Cook”

Despite Sam’s playful assertion that Tom (along with their brothers Harry and Paddy) is “probably a bit worse than beginner cooks,” Tom modestly pushed back on his brother’s judgement. On the Dish podcast, he called himself “a fine cook” and confessed that he’s been “venturing into a lot of vegetarian cooking.”

That said, not every culinary attempt has been a success. Tom admitted some nights ended in ordering takeout instead. But he’s not all self-critical—he also praised one of Zendaya’s own signature dishes: her spicy vodka fusilli, which he declared “delicious.”

Love, Laughter & Recipes

The gesture speaks volumes about the couple’s dynamic—warm, down-to-earth, and full of shared humor. Adding to this, fans have taken to social media to celebrate the wholesome support system in the Holland family.
