Popular chef Andy Hearnden (also known as "Andy Cooks") recently cooked alongside Taika Waititi to make a dish for their partners. The video has taken the Internet by storm and won many hearts online. In the reel, Taika can be seen imitating Andy's signature style of asking his partner what she wants him to cook. Taika's wife, Rita Ora, can be seen replying, "Pispili!" She whispers and confirms the name with Katelyn Flood, Andy's partner (who is also seen in the video). Pispili is an Albanian delicacy that is typically made with cornmeal, feta and greens.

Taika struggles to get the name right, prompting Rita to ask, in frustration, "Where's Andy?" Taika assures her that he can do it, but in the kitchen, the chef appears and he asks for his help. The two then begin preparing the dish together. While Andy chops some of the greens, he gives Taika mint leaves to pick. Andy looks to be doing much of the heavy lifting in the recipe, while Taika follows his lead and enlivens the cooking session with his comedic gestures. Once the dish is ready, Rita Ora comes to inspect it. She tells her husband, "You definitely didn't do that." Later, the men serve their partners the delicacy and they seem to love it.
