The Hollywood Reporter did a nice interview with Laura about her upcoming book, The Stash Plan.

Alex Vause is never behind the cafeteria counter on Orange Is the New Black, but Laura Prepon is the Red of her own kitchen.

“My mom was a gourmet chef, so I grew up prepping and cooking my own food,” she says. “I’m the youngest of five kids, and we’d always congregate in the kitchen around her cooking. And in my house now, the hangout is always the kitchen. When I’m not on set, that’s the other place I feel I’m in my element. It’s such a fun and creative place, and there’s something about it that mellows me out.”
