Celeb chef 'gorged on junk food'
EATS: Celebrity TV chef Nigella Lawson is said to have loved takeaways.
She may have built a reputation as a kitchen goddness who prepares home-cooked meals with the freshest ingredients but celebrity TV chef Nigelia Lawson loves snacks and junk foods, her former personal assistants claimed.
Ms Lawson and her 19-year-old daughter Cosima are said to have gorged themselves on pizzas, fried chicken and takeaway Chinese food, her former employees Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo told Britain's The Sun.
Ms Elisabetta Grillo said: "For Nigella staying up late with Mimi (her nickname for her daughter) was a bonding experience, a special time where the two girls could talk.
"They loved takeaways - McDonald's, Domino's Pizza, Chinese, KFC, Wagamama (Japanese noodles), fish and chips.
"It was surprising how much takeaway food they ate given her reputation as a fabulous cook using only the best ingredients.
"The kitchen and Mimi's room would be littered with takeaway boxes, pots and pans because they were always hungry - especially after their late-night chats."
The pair appeared to have a "best friend relationship", rather than a mother-daughter one, Ms Grillo said.
She also said Ms Lawson installed an expensive ventilation system in every room to mask the smell of junk food and cooking.
The Grillo sisters were cleared of defrauding Ms Lawson and her former husband Charles Saatchi.
Meanwhile, British police yesterday said they are reviewing evidence that Ms Lawson took cocaine, reported AFP.
During their trial, the Grillos said Ms Lawson took cocaine and smoked cannabis.
