The 35-year-old Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria glams up the cover of Delta Sky’s March issue.
Here’s what she had to share with the mag:
On her love for cooking: “I come from a family of cooks - my aunts and my mom, they all taught me how to cook at a very early age, starting when I was 5. I learned a lot from there.”
On her Hollywood restaurant Beso: “This is more than a celebrity restaurant. I want to keep up the food - first and foremost - and then the service. The fact that I’m attached to it means that it reflects highly on me as a person. So I’ve always treated Beso as my extended living room. I want these people treated as if they’re entering my home.”
On her new cookbook, Eva’s Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family and Friends, out in April: “I’m the kind of cook that does a pinch of this and a dash of that. So to actually have to put pen to paper and get the recipes out of my head and into the book was the most difficult task ever. Is it a half a cup of sugar? I think so. I don’t know. I usually just throw in some sugar!”

GLAMOUR: OK, exactly how much weight have you gained?
Eva Longoria Parker: [Laughs.] I’m wearing a fat suit! It’s suffocating. [She shows me the extensive padding hidden under her clothes and pulls out huge foam chicken cutlets from her bra.]
GLAMOUR: But the tabloids all said you got fat! There are “before” and “after” pictures of you looking thin and, uh, thin.
ELP: [Laughs.] I know. Unfortunately, we live our life in public, so any weight gain or pimple is a national story. I don’t get this obsession with weight. It’s not only Hollywood; it’s our society.
GLAMOUR: But you’re pregnant, right?
ELP: I’ve been pregnant since last spring with triplets. [Laughs.] No, if I were pregnant [when the tabloids said I was], I’d have had the child many times over.
GLAMOUR: So you’re not pregnant, and you’re definitely not fat—I’m glad we cleared that up. Let’s talk about your Desperate Housewives costars. You can’t have an ensemble of women who aren’t jealous of one another. Be honest: You all hate each other offscreen.
ELP: [Laughs.] No! If this were a show about four men, it wouldn’t even be an issue, but…

On the rumors surrounded her weight: “I never went up a size! I just got rounder, I’m still a size zero.”
On growing up: “I didn’t have a boyfriend. My sisters were so mean to me. They used to say I was adopted and ‘we picked you up at the hospital. You were the extra baby that day.’”
Clearing other rumors up: “I know I’m not pregnant, “I know Tony and I aren’t breaking up, I know we’re not cheating.”
