Kendall Jenner’s cooking skills are clearly genetic.
On Wednesday, July 23, Kylie Jenner shared a photo on her Instagram Stories of her son Aire, 3, cutting a cucumber in her kitchen. The toddler could be seen holding the end of the green vegetable with his left hand and using his right hand to slice with a plastic, kid-friendly block.
The little one concentrated on his cooking while his mom snapped his photo. Kylie wrote, “Runs in the family ? @kendalljenner,” referring to the model’s viral clip from a few years ago.

The cucumber incident was captured in a season 2 episode of The Kardashians when Kendall was in her mother Kris Jenner’s kitchen attempting to slice a cucumber to make herself a snack, after denying her mother’s offer to have her chef help.
“I’m making it myself,” she responded. “Just gotta chop up some cucumber, it’s pretty easy.”
“You go girl,” her mom said. Kendall then proceeded to cut the cucumber, though she didn’t seem particularly comfortable doing so. At one point, she had her arms crossed over one another while she held the knife in one hand and the end of the cucumber with the other.
In June 2023, Kendall appeared on the cover of WSJ. Magazine‘s Summer Digital issue and opened up to the outlet about the viral moment, after which fans called her out for uncomfortably cutting the vegetable.
“Let me just say I successfully cut ‘The Cucumber,’ ” she told WSJ. “So if anyone says I cannot cut cucumber, I physically cut the cucumber, and I did it tastefully. I didn’t hurt anybody. So I can cut cucumbers.”
The reality star went on to share that she spends quite a bit of time in the kitchen, cooking family-favorite dishes — like rice pilaf with herbed chicken and vegetables — for friends.
Then in November 2024, Kylie made fun of Kendall’s cucumber-cutting moment while promoting her brand Khy’s holiday collection.
“KHY HOLIDAY just dropped on khy.com 🤭,” Kylie captioned a TikTok video on Nov. 20. The clip showed the mogul dressed in a black sequin two-piece set from her line as she recreated Kendall’s iconic moment cutting the cucumber.
“Do you want the chef to make you a snack?” Kris said to Kendall in the audio. Kylie, with her cucumber and cutting board, reenacted her sibling’s part in her and Kris’ conversation.
“I’m making it myself,” the entrepreneur mouthed.
“Taught me everything I know,” Kendall wrote in her sister’s comment section.
