Hailee Steinfeld is "a little chaotic in the kitchen," she tells PEOPLE, "but in a fun way."

"I listen to music. I taste everything as I go and I usually have a drink in hand," says the Sinners star.

Steinfeld, a California native, didn't grow up cooking a ton, "but as I got older, I realized how much joy there is in creating something from scratch — especially for the people you love," she says. "For me, the kitchen has become a space of creativity and connection. It doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to feel good."
