Nina Dobrev has kept busy playing both Elena and Katherine on The Vampire Diaries, jet setting to various awards shows, and doing her part to make the world a better place. However, sometimes even stars need a little R&R and what better reason to take a much deserved-break than to celebrate one’s own birthday?
And for her 23rd birthday, Nina (along with her party guests Candice Accola, Zach Roerig, Steven R. McQueen, Joseph Morgan and Ian Somerhalder) really got things stirring…in the kitchen! Check out photos of the b-day girl whipping up a scrumptious meal alongside culinary experts at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Atlanta:
