    Kelis' Milkshake has been bringing all the boys to the yard since 2003. The 37-year-old has released six albums, has been nominated for two Grammys, and more recently has turned her mixes and beats to food. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu, Kelis launched her line of Bounty & Full sauces and is now serving up brunch at pop-ups and food trucks around LA. Find a recipe for Kelis' grandmother's Puerto Rican-style pork shoulder on the Good Food blog. The pernil recipe comes from her new cookbook, My Life on a Plate: Recipes from around the World.
