[Watch] Steve Smith dons the chef hat, asks what he must cook next

Former Australian skipper Steve Smith was busy cooking up a storm and took to Instagram to showcase his culinary skills. The batsman was also a critic of his own cooking and asked his fans what to cook next.

He captioned the image:

"Productive afternoon in the kitchen. Everything was good except for the butternut squash purée which was more like a soup than a purée 😂 way too much water 🤦🏼‍♂️ what should I cook next? 👨‍🍳"

The image sees a smiling Steve Smith posing in the kitchen with the dishes ready on the kitchen counter. Dressed in a black tank top, he looked absolutely at ease and relaxed.
