Instructions: Before making her name as CNNs sole female sportscaster, Hannah Storm was famous for her misadventures in the kitchen. "When I was younger, my brothers used to make fun of me," says Storm. "Once, I was following this wonderful chocolate-coffee bundt cake recipe, and I used a cup of freeze-dried coffee grounds. The joke circulated around the family for years, I ate a piece of Hannahs cake and was up for two days straight."

Storm has since honed her culinary skills. One dish shes mastered is her mothers famous pumpkin soup. "This soup was always a mystery soup for anyone outside of the family," says Storm. "My mother never liked to tell people what was in it because they probably wouldnt try it."
