Roger Federer: 'My wife and mother are good at cooking, while me...'
Roger Federer spoke about his and his family's cooking routines. The Swiss player was asked what he doesn't want to eat: "To be honest my children tried snails last night. It was their desire. But let's come back to me. If we are in a good restaurant, I eat pretty much everything. Also sea urchins. With a nice sauce, I try the craziest things."
Asked if he ever cooked pasta being alone, Federer replied: "Yeah, it was a long time ago and it did not work very well. I am not that good at cooking, that's why I am always happy when my wife or my mother are here. They cook and they are like, We know you can't do well. Take care of the children or put on the table. Sometimes my daughters also cook. They can do it very well. It happens rarely. At the US Open in New York they prepared porridge for me at breakfast. But it got burned on the cooking pan. My wife did not find it funny because she could not clean the pan."
Asked what he eats before a match, Federer replied: "Usually, salad and pasta. So far it worked well. I have been doing it throughout my tennis career. I was vegetarian. Also, my mother always remembered me to eat greens. I never had problems with it."
Recalling the start to his career, Federer added: "I was not aware of how much attention from media I was receiving. When I became world No. 1, they were asking me questions about my forehand and then about politics all of a sudden. I thought: What? I am a tennis player. Who cares about my opinion?!"
