So I notice this ugly untidy brown box in my front room this morning and I think, my husband ordered whatever again. As I'm starting to walk away, I remember that I've been expecting It's All Good so I reluctantly decide to take a look at the box, and sure enough it's addressed to my name. The 1st thought in my mind is, this is so unGwyneth! Then I open the ugly brown box and get pleasantly surprised. Inside was a fancy goop paper bag, with my autographed book, a goop envelope in which was a thank you note.

Thx. This time around, she even planned and suggested recipes for a whole week. So I'm going to start the Family-Friendly week on Monday. At some point, I'll try the Detox Week menu and see how it goes.

This might sound silly but I really get psyched cooking her recipes while blasting Coldplay music :lol:

Ok. It's decided! I'm making chicken fajitas today. I have all the ingredients, just need to get the avocados for guacamole.

I found this article

Gwyneth Paltrow: 'Leonardo DiCaprio would tell me how dirty meat is. Now I haven't eaten red meat in 20 years'

The film star on food, family and a passion for grilled cheese sandwiches

My father was working class and going out to eat was a big deal to him, always. He relished every bite and wanted me to weigh in with opinions. I remember his delight when, aged six, I ate my first oysters and I wish he was alive to feed my kids their first oysters. Because food is so associated with him, since he died I've had melancholic associations. It's very hard for me to make buttermilk pancakes - they're so specific to him and I get choked up every time. I get really sad he's not with me when I discover a new restaurant or return somewhere he loved, like Chez L'Ami Louis in Paris.

 

It's All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes that Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great

by Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Turshen

 

Buy the book

Tell us what you think: Star-rate and review this book

Cooking was something my mother felt she had to do rather than loved. She especially hated making breakfast. Yet her eggy pudding, toast, breakfast thing was delicious. It was egg and bread as a sort of soufflé. To be honest, I don't know what it was.

 

I was an exchange student in Spain at 15, staying for a year with a family. My Spanish mother was a delightful cook. She owned a brick factory, a gas station and a store and she'd go run the businesses and come home at lunch and make paella for everyone, then head back to work. I got obsessed with her morcilla, which I found out was pig's blood sausage but not until way too late.

 

I hung out with Leonardo DiCaprio when I moved to New York. He was vegetarian and he'd talk about how dirty meat is and how bad factory farming is. I haven't eaten red meat in 20 years and although Leo's not totally responsible he definitely planted a seed. When I turned seriously macrobiotic, it coincided with my father having been diagnosed with cancer [in 1999]. I felt I could heal him by proxy.

 

I didn't really start cooking until I quit university to try to be an actress and was working as a hostess in a fish restaurant. At 19 I cooked my worst meal ever. I only had aubergines and a jar of tomato sauce, so I thought I'd make eggplant parmesan but didn't have a cookbook. I made this hideous mess of bitter, burnt mush. But I served it. We were all starving, so we had no choice.

 

I ate the most when pregnant with my son. I couldn't stop. I was starving, the whole time. During a good portion of my pregnancies all I wanted was grilled cheese sandwiches, Baskin Robbins Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream, yoghurt and lots of apples.

 

I've lived in England for 10 years and the accent is the most beautiful in the world, except for how you pronounce pasta as pass-ta instead of pah-sta. I'm sort of joking when I say this but I really don't want my children speaking that way.

 

My husband prefers my food to any other – it's very sweet.

 

After we moved to NY, I attended Spence school and was allowed out during lunch and free periods and would head with the girls to Jackson Hole, a greasy burger joint which did great tuna melts. We mainly ate french fries there, with coffee and cigarettes - that's what I subsisted on.

 

Eating while filming a scene is the worst thing, because you have to keep eating the same thing all day long. You'll notice that most films with food the actors aren't actually eating, but I try consciously to eat to make it real, but most of the time I'll spit it out to avoid feeling sick. I'm sure there must have been eating scenes, especially playing a 330lb character in Shallow Hal, but I don't remember that film well to be honest.

 

I have an old knife of my father's which we bought at E Dehillerin [the kitchen equipment specialist] in Paris. It's not stainless steel, it very much staining steel, but it's a beautiful knife and he used it so much and that's why I prize it. My knives are really my thing. I use Japanese knives and there's a company in Brooklyn called Cut where this guy makes incredible knives and my husband bought me one recently. It's really beautiful and incredibly sharp.

 

My brother and I made and packed our own school lunches, back in the day at Crossroads school in Santa Monica. I used to toast a bread roll and put mustard and salami on it – it would be really hard but I loved the texture, and that's basically what I had every lunch.

 

All I do is try to eat and cook real food, the way our ancestors would. It's funny how people react, as if it's revolutionary that I don't want my children to eat Oreos, or the English equivalent, every day. I believe in real food, things being delicious, and butter,in minimally processed delicious foods and raw milk cheese and properly raised chicken and line-caught fish. But I'm a realist and I have kids and I love Oreos too, so honestly I'm not rigid at all.

It's All Good is a hit so far. The recipes are much simpler than in My Father's Daughter. I made the Fajitas with Guacamole on Saturday, then Chicken Francese yesterday. In each case, there were no leftovers. My guys just loved it.

I basically just use what I already have in the freezer. Today I'm going to be searching for a recipe for ground turkey. I can always revert to turkey burgers or her pasta recipe from the 1st book if I don't find a brand new recipe in It's All Good.

Wooohoooo turkey meatballs it is today with pasta. Cooking is fun again!

 

Never made my own meatballs before. Getting all excited. :lol:

Veronique, I have a turkey meatloaf recipe that's delish if you're interested. It has leeks and mushrooms. I also make my own turkey meatballs and my own marinara.

"It's All Good" was one of my birthday presents last week. I've already made the Middle Eastern Turkey Burger! It's not quite as good as the turkey burger from the first book (the one with Gruyere cheese sandwiched in the middle of two burgers) but it's tasty!

 

BTW, in addition to the dedication up front Gwyneth does mention Chris once more in the book. Introducing the baked apple recipe, she says "My favorite singer grew up in the English countryside" and says apples are tart and good there. The recipe is actually Chris's mother's!

Gwyneth and RDJ Get Goofy Ahead of Iron Man 3's LA Premiere

Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr. put their famous chemistry on display when they posed for portraits on behalf of Iron Man 3 in LA yesterday. The two stars got silly during the photo shoot, with Robert sliding down the couch and Gwyneth putting her head on his shoulder. Gwyneth and Robert have been having lots of fun on the promotional trail for their new flick. RDJ gave Gwyneth kisses on the red carpet during their press trips in Germany and the UK, which caused the actress to giggle in front of photographers. She's been making bold moves of her own too, including playfully grabbing a comedian's crotch during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show last week. The pair's push for their new film isn't over just yet as they will both be attending the LA premiere of the movie tomorrow.
