Usha Chilukuri Vance, wife of JD Vance, Donald Trump's vice-presidential pick, spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee where she revealed her husband's culinary skills in Indian cuisine.
Describing him as a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy, she mentioned his newfound ability to cook Indian food.
Recalling their meeting at Yale Law School, Ms Vance portrayed their relationship as "a testament to this great country".
"We started as friends," she said. "He was then, as he is now, the most interesting person I knew - a working class guy who had overcome childhood traumas that I could barely fathom to end up at Yale Law School, a tough marine who had served in Iraq, but who enjoys spending his leisure time playing with puppies and watching the movie 'Babe'."
