Brooke Shields has revealed what she tells daughters Rowan. 19, and Grier, 16, when they ask why she doesn’t cook during the holidays in a candid new interview on the Rachael Ray show.

In a teaser for the episode the actress, 57, said she retorts: ‘I’m sorry, I’m busy doing Christmas movies for you to watch!’

Dressed in a glittering gold long-sleeved top and black-rimmed aviator eyeglasses, the star said, ‘They are always complaining to me… “How come you don’t cook? Other mothers cook.”‘

Shields shares her daughters with her husband of 21 years, Chris Henchy, 58.

The entrepreneur said she yields kitchen duties to her screenwriter spouse during the holiday season.

‘The tradition that happens now is my husband smokes brisket and pork shoulder and all of that,’ she dished.

‘We have to bring them through security. You’re traveling with meat, and they know and they’re like “Brisket? Brisket again? Really?”

‘They see us coming and then you see the little pork shoulder go through the x-ray. That’s our tradition,’ she told the talk show host with a laugh.

Ray opened the segment by noting that Brooke’s daughters ‘do love it’ when she cooks, although the former child model thinks she can’t.

The New York-born entertainer will also discuss her new film Holiday Harmony on Tuesday’s episode of the long-running show.

The family-oriented superstar covers the holiday edition of Hamptons Magazine with her daughters.

‘Inside the Hamptons Holiday issue, Brooke discusses building the platform and community @BeginningIsNow, her upcoming role in HBO Max’s “Holiday Harmony,” and celebrating the simple things this Holiday with her family,’ read a caption on the publication’s Instagram account.

Shields showed appreciation for the opportunity as she also took to social media to post photos from the shoot.

She wrote in a caption to her 1.6 million followers: ‘Tis the season for family and gratitude ✨ Loved doing this shoot for @hamptonsmag… and I loved my girls being there with me even more.’
