"It was an impressive first attempt," Michelle Obama told Paula Deen about her first — and only — attempt to make seafood gumbo for Barack Obama.

It was the first thing she ever tried to cook for him.

"I must have really been in love," Michelle told Paula.

She hasn't cooked it since. But Paula, the ebullient chef/host of  "Paula's Party" on the Food Network, thinks that may be a good thing.

"Once was enough," she laughed.

Paula talked to People about what it was like to cook with Michelle — and promised to make her signature fried chicken for the Obamas if they move into the White House in January.

"She was everything I thought she would be: Smart, great sense of humor and loves to talk about family," Paula told People. "I can tell she spends time in the kitchen – she was very relaxed when we cooked. And that lady is a good eater."

Not that it shows. 

"Did I tell you she is in the best shape ever? Everyone was staring at her amazing arms!" Paula raved.

Here's the video, a sneak preview of the episode that airs Saturday, September 20, at 7 p.m.:
