The house where Trisha Yearwood films Trisha’s Southern Kitchen is sentimental for many reasons, one of which is that it’s where she used to cook for husband Garth Brooks, before they were married.

While giving a tour of the set, Trisha reveals that she actually owned the house in Nashville before it was used for her show on the Food Network, and says that the coolest person she’s ever cooked for in the home was none other than the country legend. In fact, it was in that kitchen where she first started to fall in love with her future husband. 

“I actually cooked for Garth in this kitchen long before there was a TV show,” she explains, recalling how she made a fettuccine Alfredo dish so rich that he “almost fell asleep in the plate.”

“But I think that was the beginning of me knowing that ‘I’m going to marry this guy,'” she reveals. 

Other secrets Trisha gives away includes that one of her favorite items in the kitchen is the Gwendolyn cake platters, designed from sketches created by her late mother, Gwen, who was also a baker and master cake decorator. 

Among the items you’ll always find in the fridge are milk, eggs and coffee creamer. Items you’ll never see? Sardines or wasabi.
