Ivana and Donald's daughter, Ivanka, now a key member of her dad's business team, doesn't plan on cooking for Mother's Day. "We'll have a fun little spa weekend," she says. "Cooking is not my forte, although my mom is pretty good at it. Mom can cook all these foods, and she grew up cooking them, but she doesn't do it now on a regular basis."

Although Ivanka's not rushing home from the boardroom to cook dinner at night, she's primed to learn from the pros. Eric recently got his sister a gift certificate to the Culinary Institute of America, and she intends to enroll for an occasional class. "I feel like cooking would be cathartic," she says. Not that there's very much time to get behind the stove these days, as she's busy helping Dad with projects all over the world, from Panama to Dubai. Next spring, they'll open a hotel in Soho that will include a restaurant.Source
