Gordon’s daughter, Holly, 24, shared an Instagram post celebrating her younger sister. “My baby sis has graduated👩🏼🎓!! You’ll always be my princess & I am so proud of you ⭐️🤍,” she captioned the post.
Along with photos from the big day, Holly’s carousel included a throwback picture of the sisters.
Gordon and Tana also share kids Megan, 26, Jack, 24, Oscar, 5, and Jesse, 8 months. In March, Tilly opened up to PEOPLE about what it’s like being Gordon’s daughter.
“I remember watching him work in the kitchen at home because he used to film quite a bit there,” she said. “And then he slowly started giving me the whisk or giving me the spoon and saying, ‘You need to measure something.’”
“I just remember having so much fun in there with him,” she added. “And at this point I was like, ‘Wow, I really want to be like you one day.’”
Tilly said that all of her older family members are “great” cooks, but she’s passing on the training Gordon gave her to Oscar.
“I’ve got Oscar cooking already and he’s only four,” she laughed, recalling an instance last summer when she asked him to help her make pancakes. “I was teaching him how to do it, making him measure it out. It’s so great to start young and I think he really enjoyed it.”
In the March interview, Tilly revealed how she’s bonding with her father over food in a whole new way.
“We are constantly sending each other new recipes on Instagram that we see and discussing them,” she added.
