Draya Michele Announces Her “Culinaire” Era
As mentioned, Draya shared her latest chapter on Instagram on Tuesday (April 21). She posted a series of photos and videos in a kitchen, dressed in chef attire. Some photos show her near a stove, while another shows her in a walk-in cooler. Two videos show her in action, from mincing onions to her flambé. Also, two photos show completed meat dishes: one resembles a stew, while the other shows a stuffed protein. In her caption, Draya Michele revealed her journey in the kitchen took a professional turn a few months ago.
“For the past few months, I’ve been in culinary school. Becoming a chef was never something on my mood board (until lately) but that’s the beauty of life. I’ve enjoyed cooking for my loved ones for years, and now I’m just perfecting it,” Draya wrote.
In the caption, she also encouraged her followers to take new lanes when desired. She wrote, “You’re allowed to evolve. You’re allowed to pivot. You’re allowed to discover new passions you never saw coming. It’s never too late to change your path or start something new. If you’ve been waiting for a sign… this is it.”
Draya’s Been Teasing Her Cooking For Months
Tuesday marks the first time Draya Michele has confirmed she’s in elevated cooking classes. But it’s far from her first time showing off her skills in the kitchen. In recent months, she’s shared glimpses of meals she’s cooked, especially at home. For example, on January 9, she shared a fresh pasta-making video, which featured her and Jalen Green’s daughter, Lyght Green.
Additionally, in November 2025, Draya posted a recap of her “rehearsal day,” in which she tested a new way of slicing her yams for a candied dish. In the caption, she mentioned “plating” and using her same recipe while making the dish “aesthetically pleasing.”
Last August, Draya Michele also shared her soup-making skills. In the caption, she said “a few members of [her] tribe” weren’t feeling well, hence the dish. She credited Trader Joe’s for the find.
