- Hey Delish, it's Garcelle Beauvais.
Welcome to my kitchen.
(upbeat music)
So, this is my kitchen.
I really wanted a white, bright...
Although I have two 14 year olds, but what are you gonna do?
Well the kitchen is my office and also my kitchen
and we're in a lot.
This is where I do my Zoom meetings.
Since 2020, we are zooming it.
I really love Restoration Hardware.
And this table I got from the Restoration Hardware Outlet.
And let me tell you, I got such a great price from this.
I thought, "Start the car, we gotta go."
This is also Restoration Hardware at the outlet.
You know, you don't always have to spend everything
to get a beautiful look.
At first, I had silver pulls and I thought
I need a little glam.
So, instead of obviously changing everything,
I just got gold pulls and exchanged the silver.
And that way, it gave it a little bit of a ju-jing.
When I did the gold pulls, I realized,
"Oh my God, it matches the gold and silver."
I love mixing metals.
So this is really up my alley.
And also I have my Smeg, that I love,
'cause it's kinda old school, new school.
We've been in this house going on,
it's almost three years in November actually, yeah.
What attracted me to this house
is I really love how open it is.
My boys are now older, so I can have an adult household.
Before, it was a lot of mac and cheese, goldfish everywhere.
So you know, you couldn't have a nice house.
I love having people over.
I have lots of family and friends.
So when we're all here, listening to music, hanging out,
it's like my best life.
If I could change one thing about my kitchen
what would it be?
Um, I don't know, I like it.
I love my kitchen.
I don't think I'd change anything, honestly.
Yeah.
Maybe two islands?
Right here is my well stocked bar.
Again, I have two 14 year olds.
I would say probably in a year, I'm gonna have to hide it.
Right?
Teenagers?
We have everything from tequila to vod...
All of it.
All of it's here and wine, so it's really fun.
I love that you can see...
These are windowed cabinets.
That way I can put, sort of like my fancier, cuter things.
Everything else is hidden.
So my girlfriend turned me on to MacKenzie-Childs
and I am obsessed with the black and white of it all.
I love cutting boards and cheese boards.
So there's all kinds of shape, sizes and colors.
At my house, you can always find an avocado.
You can always find mangoes.
Being from Haiti and the islands, mangoes are big.
And you can always find plantains at my house.
It's a Haitian thing, what can I say?
Those need to be eaten quick.
I love coffee, but I don't have a coffee bar.
So I just have a really nice coffee machine.
There's not much to it.
I said I had my MacKenzie-Childs teapot
but I also have a teapot that I use every day.
How many teapots does a girl need?
My favorite part of the kitchen
would be this massive island.
I love how big it is.
I love that.
I used a quartz with a little bit of veining
'cause I wanted it to stand out, but not be too busy,
because I think the food
is what you really wanna highlight, right, on an island?
But I love it.
My boys can do homework while I'm cooking.
This is where we hang out a lot.
Their friends are over a lot.
They cook with their friends.
It's really cool to see boys cooking with other boys.
It's like, we've come a long way.
My brothers used to just sit down and eat.
It's nice to see boys cook.
I wanted a big fridge because, of course,
there's always a lot of people over.
So I love, love, love, love, love.
I made lasagna yesterday.
So the boys are going to their dad's
and they want some to take there.
So I've already prepared it for them to take.
Lots of berries, lots of juice.
Corona beer, that's for mom. (laughing)
The Gatorade's for the boys.
Um, it's a little bit of everything.
Vegetables, broccolini.
We have a steak that I'll hopefully cook tonight.
You will always find in my fridge milk, butter, eggs,
which is right behind me.
But being Haitian, we have a thing called pikliz.
If you go to any Haitian person's house,
you will find pikliz.
This is what we put on our food, 'cause we like it spicy.
And it's just peppers and vinegar
and a bunch of yummy stuff in here, so we always.
I have two.
My favorite Haitian dish would have to be lambi,
which is a conch.
And we cook it in a stew and sometimes we add crabs to it.
It is my favorite.
And we have something called...
It looks like black rice, but we call it Diri ak Djon Djon.
And the djon djon is sort of like a dried mushroom.
It is amazing.
I think what makes Haitian food different
from other Caribbean cuisines is the fact that...
I don't know, we make it with love, music and drinks.
When we're cooking, we're drinking,
we're listening to music, we're talking, we're laughing.
That's part of the meal.
I usually do rice and beans and I either do a steak stew
or I do a chicken stew.
I didn't realize I needed a double oven
until I think it was Joanna Gaines.
I had double ovens and I'm like,
"If she's doing it, I needed one too."
So this is great for baking and cooking,
whatever you wanna do.
Microwave, of course.
And I wanted a wine cooler.
So I wanted a wine cooler because one,
I love champagne a lot.
So we have a lot of champagnes.
My co-host on "The Real", Adrienne has a wine company.
So she sends me wine, which is really, really sweet.
I mean the wine's not sweet, she's sweet
(laughing) sending it.
Here, I have pictures of my grandson.
Oh my God, I love him so much.
OJ, Oliver Junior.
My boys.
My other son with his entire family.
And let's go to the pantry.
This is my pantry.
I am organized, which I like to be.
I feel like when you have an organized pantry
you know what you have, you know what you don't have.
The boys have their cereals.
We have vegetables, rice, everything is where it belongs,
so we kinda know.
And then, growing up in Haiti,
my grandmother had a little store.
And in the store, she had jars of candy.
So I've sort of done that to pay homage to my grandmother.
This, right here, this little cookie jar,
she has been with me longer than my older son.
I've had this thing for so long.
I don't remember where I got her, but I love her.
And she moves with me wherever I go.
But this is my pantry.
(upbeat music)
- [Interviewer] This one's not my question though, but...
- Uh oh.
If you have to preface it...
- [Interviewer] Who has the worst kitchen
out of the "Real Housewives"?
- I knew it.
I knew it.
Um, if I had to choose who probably
has the worst kitchen, I would say Rinna.
And it's not that it's the worst kitchen.
It's Harry Hamlin loves that kitchen so much,
he's not letting her do anything to it.
So that's the only reason.
- I feel sad for you that you thought that in any way,
you know what I mean?
- Oh, I don't think that's how you should put it.
But they cook really well.
At least Harry Hamlin cooks really well.
I have to say Hamlin.
That's how she says his name.
Harry Hamlin.
Oh, that's a good one.
Who's the most famous person that's been in this kitchen?
I would say...
Who can I say?
Hold on.
I guess the Housewives, they've all been here.
All the Housewives have been in my house.
All the Housewives of Beverly Hills have been in my house.
- [Interviewer] If you could think of one person
to have dinner with, who would it be?
- I would love to have dinner with Michelle Obama.
And then Brad Pitt if she's not available.
Oh my...
I would, no, I wouldn't make anything.
I would cater it in.
Are you kidding, it's Michelle Obama.
So one of the really famous things in my house
was when I had goldfish in that vase
and I called them Dorit and Kyle.
Can I introduce you?
- [Dorit] Please introduce me.
- The black and white one is Dorit
because look at her.
Fabulous style.
- [Dorit] She's so fashionable.
- Right?
The regular goldfish is Kyle.
So now it's back to being a vase because,
well, they both died. (laughing)
It happens.
They were goldfish.
Thank you, Delish, for coming into my kitchen.
I hope you guys had fun.
I hope you were entertained.
And I am promoting, right now, my new memoir,
"Love Me as I Am".
Comes out April 12th.
I hope you'll get it.
It is really fun.
There's some sad moments.
There's some funny moments
and it's all my world and my life.
So I hope you enjoy it.
