It is a notoriously difficult thing, for a television chef to maintain a slimline figure.
But Padma Lakshmi appears to have mastered the art of balancing her calorific work life with a healthy exercise regime - judging by her incredible bikini body.
The 43-year-old displayed her toned figure in a red triangle two-piece as she enjoyed some time with her daughter Krishna on the beach in Hawaii over the weekend.

How does she do it? Padma looked sleek and toned in the bikini, but admitted recently that she can gain 15lbs during one season of her hit show Top Chef - which recently premiered again in the U.S.
Padma drew attention to her enviable cleavage and washboard stomach in the bikini, which she teamed with large sunglasses and a gold necklace.
She wore her raven hair tied up in a ponytail as she darted around on the sand with her little girl.
Meanwhile, Krishna certainly appeared to be enjoying her time with her mother, squealing with delight as she splashed around in the surf.

But Padma's slim shape could soon be a thing of the past as she admitted recently that she can gain a staggering 15lbs during one season of filming Top Chef, the new series of which premiered Stateside earlier this week.
She told Hamptons magazine: 'I think I was used to having a certain metabolism and just having it come naturally - so much of what we were given physically has to do with our genetics and our luck. But I’m not that girl anymore - I’ve had a baby; I eat for a living!'
Padma added that she does her utmost to exercise at any time she can in between filming in a bid to keep the weight gain to a minimum.

She said: 'I have a funny picture of myself that my makeup artist took on set—I’m wearing a black dress, but I’m actually doing push-ups backstage. I carry a jump rope in my bag. I work out whenever I can.
'I usually gain 15lbs in the time it takes for us to shoot Top Chef, and it takes me double the time to lose it.'
Top Chef airs on Bravo on Wednesday nights in the U.S.
