Move over Wolfgang Puck. The next celebrity chef may come in the form of a brash, pop punker.
"I've always been obsessed with cooking,"
Avril Lavgine told PEOPLE Saturday in Las Vegas. "I can make anything."
Lavigne even asked for cooking tools for her recent 26th birthday, which she celebrated over the weekend at MGM Grand's Wet Republic.
"I got some spatulas with skulls on them and some fun stuff for my kitchen," she said of her birthday gifts.
"I swear to God, my family asked me what I wanted and I said I wanted a serving bowl and all these things for my kitchen. I asked for a stone plate to put in my oven to cook and crazy stuff like that."
The "Girlfriend" singer is known to show off her skills at dinner parties, she said, adding that Yorkshire pudding is her "specialty".
"I make really good bruschetta, too," the chef-in-training adds.
