Padma lashes out

Padma, who shares Indian heritage with Usha, slammed the choice as tone-deaf and mocked the use of bottled ranch on a dish tied to a rich culinary tradition. She criticized the apparent cultural insensitivity and ridiculed the idea of baking ranch into a meal meant for a vegetarian partner.

From flop to fancy baking

Usha, expecting the couple's fourth child, says Vance has improved dramatically. He now bakes breads like brioche and has been praised for mastering Shokupan, proof he’s come a long way from that early cooking fail. Padma, meanwhile, remains outspoken — she has previously criticized former President Trump and recently described her 2025 cookbook as a tribute to immigrant cuisines.
