In the Kitchen with Patti LaBelle

Aired on: December 24, 2008

Soul diva Patti LaBelle gets so comfie in Rachael's kitchen, she takes off her shoes! "Can I take them off? They're Christian Louboutin, high six-inch pumps that are killing my big toe," Patti says, as Rachael helps the star get out of her boots. "Who needs the shoes?" Rachael asks. "I'm taking mine off, too!" Once they get settled, they start making Turkey Sloppy Joes from Patti's cookbook, Recipes for the Good Life. "When I'm on tour, I take my suitcase with pots. I cook for myself," the 64-year-old says, explaining she eats five meals a day for health concerns. "I'm a diva-betic, not a diabetic!" Rachael asks Patti if she ever sings while she cooks and while she says she usually saves her voice for her concerts, Patti treats Rachael to a little harmony. "I can not believe Patti LaBelle just sang to me in my kitchen!"
