Gormaanda was a female member of a four-armed species and a four-star-rated chef. Thrice the winner of the Orto Culinary Academy Award for Engorgable Excellence, she also authored the book Travels with Gormaanda: Cooking in the Core and wrote a cooking column for HoloNet News. She considered her recipes to be affordable and delicious, and in 22 BBY, when fresh ingredients were not readily available throughout the Galactic Republic, Gormaanda included in her column a recipe for Glowblue Noodles and Chav, a modular dish that could feature any one of a number of meats as its primary ingredient.

Gormaanda additionally recorded instructional cooking cassettes that were available in the galaxy as late as 1 ABY. She frequently prepared food in an energetic and animated fashion, and encouraged her viewers and readers to cook with similar fervor. She was also prone to tasting her cooking and squealing with delight; in a cassette demonstrating the preparation of a bantha surprise dish, Gormaanda's excitement led her to cook so rapidly that all four of her arms were required to perform the task. The cassette was viewed in 1 ABY by the Wookiee Mallatobuck, who, having only two arms, was unable to keep pace.
