Watch: Salma Hayek Talks Food, Family, and Music

Food, family, and music. That’s what it takes to stay connected to your roots, says Latina Magazine’s October cover star, Salma Hayek. Though actress, producer, and activist Hayek lives in Europe with her husband Francois-Henri Pinault and daughter Valentina, she doesn’t let the distance get between her and her family. 

And of course, to strengthen those connections, she stays close to her familia and spends some time in the kitchen. Valentina’s favorite food (along with kid-friendly macaroni and cheese) is Mexican, of course. Watch below as Hayek talks about life, food, and family.
