Though she might not seem to be the homely types, actor Chitrangada Singh confesses that she does like to cook once in a while.

She tells CS, `I do enjoy cooking occasionally.

It's kind of relaxing. The easiest things to cook are Japanese miso soup, pastas, salads and dips. I am fond of Thai cuisine and love the curries.

I prefer Oriental cuisine to Continental.` And it is not only cooking that gets Chitrangada's attention. The lady loves charcoal painting and travelling to different parts of the world.

`It is important to have different interests in life. Hobbies keep you relaxed and recharge your batteries.` Point noted, Chitrangada!
