Adele is revealing she's a multi-talented mom — not only is she a world-class singer, but she's also a prolific chef.

While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter about receiving the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, the singer, 35, opened up about being a mom to her son Angelo, 11, and how she recently got into a kitchen fiasco while cooking for his school.

Asked about a story she told at a recent concert about her making chicken kebabs for her son's class, the musician shared, "I did it the next day. It went great."

"I spilled turmeric everywhere, so it stained my whole kitchen," she added. "I made 60 of them."

Adele shares her son with ex-husband Simon Konecki.

Though the singer is largely private about her son and doesn't post photos of him online, she has shared a few sweet moments with him throughout the years.

Adele told Vanity Fair in December 2016 that she would give up every aspect of her musical career if it ever began to affect Angelo negatively.

"All of my relationships are more important to me than any tour I'll ever do," she said at the time. "If my relationship … with Angelo started to flounder a bit now, I would pull out of my tour."

She added, "My life is more important to me than anything I'm doing because how the f--- am I supposed to write a record if I don't have a life? If I don't have a real life, then it's game over anyway."

When Adele took home the 2022 BRIT Award for album of the year, she dedicated the coveted win to her ex-husband and her then 9-year-old son Angelo. During her acceptance speech, Adele became emotional when she spoke about how "gracious" Angelo had been while she worked on 30.

"I'd like to dedicate this award to my son. And to Simon, to his dad. This album was all of our journey, not just mine and I'm very proud of myself for sticking to my guns and putting out an album that was about something so personal to me," she said as she began to tear up.

"'Cause not many people do stuff like that anymore. And my son has been so gracious, so gracious and kind and patient with me over the last couple of years and it's for him."
