There's something musical about Gwyneth Paltrow's relationship with Chris Martin, the actress's mother says.

Their marriage works "beautifully," Blythe Danner, 65, tells New York's Daily News. "There's something in the musicality of their world. It's not just what they do, but their rhythm, the way they are together."

Of course, there's also another love in Paltrow's life these days: cooking. Spain ... On The Road Again, her food series with her chef pal Mario Batali, premiered this week on PBS.

"I cook all the meals for my house," Paltrow, 35, told PEOPLE in New York Sunday at the launch party. "I really love to cook."
