Katy Perry perfecting domestic skills

Katy Perry has joked she is learning to be "human" after enrolling in a cooking class.

The singer appears to be showing signs of wanting to lead a quieter life, after expressing a desire to improve her domestic skills. Katy is hoping to be a natural in the kitchen and claims the prospect of learning new skills is making her feel more normal.

"Starting my first cooking class... OH MY GOD I'M LEARNING TO BE A HUMAN! (sic) she wrote on her Twitter account.

The 27-year-old star is currently believed to be dating singer John Mayer. There is speculation she could be taking the classes in a bid to impress her new suitor by whipping up a romantic meal for two.

Katy proved she had an interest in cooking earlier this year.

The beauty attended the 20th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards viewing party in February and apparently got into a bidding war for a special culinary experience with chef Cat Cora. She eventually splashed out a reported $50,000 to share the prize with movie producer Steve Tisch.
