Billie Eilish's Mom Shares the Spicy Noodle Recipe Her Grammy-Winning Kids Can't Resist
If you’ve ever wondered what Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell eat at home, their mom just spilled all the details — and honestly, it’s the kind of cozy family content we didn’t know we needed.
Maggie Baird, the mother of two of music’s biggest stars, revealed that she’s been writing a recipe book specifically for Billie and Finneas.
Not a cookbook for the masses. A personal, family recipe book filled with the dishes they grew up eating and the stories behind them.
And the project goes way beyond food. Baird told TODAY that the book includes family stories about the grandparents Billie and Finneas never got to meet.
“Unfortunately, my parents both died, so my children didn’t grow up with grandparents, so I’ve been including those recipes and now I’ve been adding stories about them,” Baird told TODAY.
“So they know how my mom made apple pie for my dad. She made cherry pie for my dad for years until he told her he didn’t actually like cherry pie. He liked apple,” she added.
Baird said she felt compelled to write down her recipes because her kids would always ask her how to make certain things.
“So I really had to write them down and, you know, go, ‘OK, if you follow this recipe exactly, I promise you it will taste good. Now, feel free to change it anytime you want,’” she told TODAY.
The Sesame Peanut Noodles Billie Eilish and Finneas Love
Here’s the detail every fan needs to know: the siblings’ favorite recipe is sesame peanut noodles.
Baird said the dish was inspired by her time living in New York in the 1980s.
“One of the only takeout things you could get at the time was these cold sesame noodles,” she told the outlet. “And then we moved to L.A., they didn’t really have those here.
“Many, many decades ago now, I veganized that, and it’s always been a hit in our family,” she added.
Baird shares some of her favorite recipes on the website for Support + Feed, a nonprofit organization she founded in 2020 that aims to combat climate change and food insecurity by promoting plant-based eating.
Her spicy noodles recipe is among them.
“I always loved it when Billie or Finneas had friends over and I could pull this off quickly!” she writes on the website.
“When everyone is hungry and wants to eat as soon as possible, but you want to give them a nourishing meal, this is what to make,” she adds.
The recipe includes 8oz. pad thai style rice noodles, 1/2 cup olive oil, one teaspoon chili flakes, two medium garlic cloves, 1/3 cup tamari, one package of firm tofu and one head of broccoli.

And if you want to make it like Eilish does, Baird gave People the inside scoop. “She puts enough chili flakes in it to heat up a room! It’s delicious,” she added.
If you ever needed proof that Billie Eilish is intense in every part of her life, there it is.
Billie Eilish and Finneas Will Join Mom on New Cooking Show
On March 26, Baird announced she is creating a new lifestyle cooking series called Climate Kitchen. Like her nonprofit, the show will feature recipes for plant-based meals and tips for sustainable living.
The best part for fans? Eilish and Finneas, both of whom love to cook, will be featured as guests on the show.
“Some the best days of the year are those where they join me in the kitchen or I join them in theirs,” she told People last month.
“It makes me so happy when they tell me they made one of the recipes,” she said of the recipe books she has made for them.
The show is slated to begin production later this year and to premiere on public media in 2027. So mark your calendars — watching Billie and Finneas cook alongside their mom is officially something to look forward to.
