Gwyneth in Elle Magazine! (scooped by Perez)

I can't believe Perez Hilton was quicker off the mark than both me and Lola - and to think we call ourselves super fans.. Either way, can't wait to get my hands on the actual issue of Elle in which Ms. Paltrow describes all her favourite things.. and to keep it consistent with the similar articles she writes for Goop - almost all of her recommendations are pretty out of the price range for the common folk.
Can't you just lower yourself to recommending something from Ikea for once Gwynnie?!?!

Anyway, here's the link to the post on perezhilton.com..

Sigh.

Only A Cameo!?!

What a travesty..! As an Academy Award winning actress and general inspiration, HRH Gwyneth Paltrow should have been the star of the Glee: Concert Movie, over all those relative unknowns she had to share her screentime with on the show. Instead Gwynnie has been relegated to a cameo role..
I would boycott the whole thing but I think that would be a bit spiteful. I don't want to deny Gwyn her royalties from my cinema ticket.

I'm a bit apalled they've decided to release it in 3D - the bane of my cinema going life. I would probably quietly put up with the unpleasant visual assault of 3D films if there wasn't a compulsory surcharge for the 'privelege'.

To top it all off, the set list for the movie is a bit shocking, not nearly enough of Rachel Berry/Lea Michele - my (and Gwyneth's) favourite hot half Jew..
I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come from Glee Season 3, Ryan Murphy I'm looking at you.

Contagion

My love for Gwyneth isn't as infectious as I'd first hoped. However, she's starring in Steven Soderbergh's upcoming film Contagion.. (such a tenuous link, lolz). Look at that cast! Anything with Winslet is a sure fire hit.. good on you Gwyn.

Not too long to wait either..

Oh, and I had food poisoning on the weekend. Thanks for those undercooked sausages guys - you know who you are. Well, aside from the plus of losing a bit of water weight, I still can't stomach anything more exciting than white carbs. Whilst looking at all the pulses and grains in Wholefoods yesterday I genuinely considered becoming a raw food vegan because I honestly don't remember the last time I'd felt that awful (not alcohol related at least). I think Gwynnie would approve of raw food veganism.

In other news, a big R.I.P. to another love of my life, Amy Winehouse. Haterz gon' hate but she was incredible. Such a sad day.

Who Do You Think You Are... Gwyneth Paltrow?

For the record, I am not Jewish.. and I am certainly not anti semitic. A disclaimer may be necessary - I don't want to attract the haters (just the appreciators).
My close friends can vouch that my appreciation for Jewish culture is a very serious matter. I think an over exposure to Woody Allen in my youth and my deep kinship with another great Jew - Nigella Lawson. Her forays into the religious side of Judaisim are, I hear, limited. However she has been known to conjure up a steaming pot of 'Jewish Penicillin' (Chicken Soup).
So understandably when I heard that our dear beloved Gwynnie was reneging on her original plan to raise Apple and Moses in a secular, spiritualist home and instead focus on her Jewish heritage - I was pretty excited (almost as much as I was watching Charlotte convert for Harry in Sex and the City).
As a non-Jew, flagrant adoption of Jewish cuisine could be deemed cultural appropriation or some such thing. I don't think there's much difference between my enjoyment of borscht and bagels to another person claiming a fondness for Thai cuisine for example.
Anyway, this is about Gwyneth Paltrow - not me. In honour of her recent decision.. I'm going to attempt to make some traditional chicken soup and matzo balls.. using the Nigella recipe. Best of both Jews.
Keep posted for pics and taste testimonies from whoever is lucky enough to try it.

Oh and p.s. I think lolz need to be had that Gwynnie only decided to raise her kids Jewish because her ancestors are 'influential rabbis'.. apparently her late Jewish father wasn't important enough.

Just for the lolz

Lukas and I at Catch last Christmas. 

You're welcomed.


Lola

She wore an itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny...

Hi guys!
We have one fabulous post for you in the works, but since neither of us are geniuses (even though I graduated from Canada's Harvard) we can't seem to understand how to upload videos from my phone to this blog.
Anyway, while we work on it, here is the latest on the Gwynnie.
She was seen with Steven Spielberg and Apple and Moses frolicking on a beach somewhere with an exotic name in a red-hot bikini looking more fabulous then ever!

Here are some pics:

I wish I looked like this in the shower. Or on my yatch. 

Working out. Obviously. There is no such thing as a day off...even on vaycay. 

The next pic is quite puzzling...it definitely looks like she has some cellulite...but surely it must be just a bad angle/lighting:

You know how much I love Gwynnie, but I have to admit that it'd be nice if she were just a little human and showed some flaw of some sort. What do you think: cellulite or just bad picture??

I would definitely post some picture of myself in my bathing suit as well, but I don't want Gwynnie to feel bad about her own figure. And there are already too many compromising pictures of myself out there. 

Lots of love

Lola

Ps: LOVE jet-lag!!! I can work out and be all energetic at 6 am. I feel very close to Gwynnie these days. 

Glee and other fabulosities

Lukas has been harassing me to watch some little show called Glee for quite some time now. Why should I care about a bunch of high schoolers singing in a choir somewhere in America? The thought of sitting through an episode of Dawson's creek meets the Sound of Music was quite unattractive to me (well, come to think of it...Pacey and Fraulein Maria together in one show, singing, could be quite possibly the best thing ever...anyway, moving on) and I simply refused to embark on the Glee boat. Then, came this one fateful lazy morning (well, lazy is not that lazy since I automatically wake up at 7:00 every morning) and a few hours to spare. I thought I'd just check the pilot out, one short episode, make a friend happy. 

Here I am 3 hours later, 4 episodes in: COMPLETELY ADDICTED. I am gleeked!!! 

And you know what the best part of the show is: GWYNNIE-GIRL MAKES GUEST APPEARANCES!!! Ok, I'm not far enough in the season to have actually seen her in one of the episodes, BUT thanks to the magic of this little website called Youtube (heard of it? It's great, you'll love it.) we can watch her work her magic over and over and over again. WE LOVE IT!!! She is so talented!!! She actually makes the songs sound better than the originals! Crazyyyy!

Here's her cover of Cee-lo's (whoever that is) Forget You:

My favorite is this one, I swear it will make you cry: 

So, did you cry? No? Do you have no heart? Have you never loved? or been loved? 

Also, Gwynnie has decided to show some skin (duh, we would as well if we had her body) in Vanity Fair this month. She looks gorgeous! And may I just say that not a lot of women can pull off the fishnet-half-naked-with-jewellery look that tastefully. Even I, who when trying to be sexy just ends up looking cute (or plain ridiculous) would scare a hooker in such an attire.

So, hope you become addicted to Glee! And hope this picture above makes you want to work out like a crazy person. Personally, I just want to buy fishnets and wear them with all my diamonds. 

Lots of Love!!!

The Cheeseboard

As avid readers of Gwynnie's newsletter Goop - me and Lola like to actually do some of the things she recommends. I know most of the time we're super healthy but on occasion we have both been known to indulge in white carbs. This was one of those days.
To begin with, it was a gloriously sunny 30 degrees (!) in London. The whole city changes when the weather is nice. Noone is as angry or impatient because everyone is too hot and tired to care.. so they all go and languish in the nearest park.
To be truly accurate in making a cheeseboard a la Gweyneth we thought we should try the same independent cheeseshop she makes her purchases at.. La Fromagerie (Marylebone branch)!
Well it was a lovely shop. The entrance way was abundant with lovely looking fruit and veg. So bright and ripe looking - the tomatoes were just about the reddest things I have ever seen. There is a small cafe at the back of the store and they also sell accompaniments to cheese such as the Honey Oat Wheat loaf we bought.

Divinely fragrant lavender.. would've bought some but couldn't think of anything to use it for - other than freshening up my wardrobe..?

Lola basks in the divine scent while I become transfixed by the quality of produce in the fridge.

Anyway, obviously the real aim of the day was to buy some cheese. So we entered, a la Gwyneth, through the sliding glass doors into the controlled atmosphere of the 'Cheese Room'..!

As passionate foodies, we know a thing or two about cheese but whilst we were in the mecca of curdled milk it felt right to utilise the knowledge of the super helpful staff. He didn't personally help Gwyneth with her cheeseboard as he wasn't in the shop at the same time - but he did recommend and let us sample some amazing cheeses that were suitable for our occasion (eating smothered on bread in the park).

Lola bought a herb infused, creamy goats cheese which was a nice start to our binge.

I bought some brie de meaux which was so ripe I could spread it with a blunt plastic knife.
I was a bit of a fatty and also bought some tangy, crumbly goats cheese which I saved for lunch today - crumbled over a post-workout pasta salad. Delish.

My friend Gemma also came along for the cheeseboard purchase, but didn't want any part of our Gwynnie-P idolatry. This amused the guy who worked in the shop I felt.. we definitely brought the lolz to his day in work. She bought the strongest cheese out of any of us.. I wish I could remember what it was called. It was really strong and it had been soaked in a French whisky or something like that..? La Fromagerie does provide the names of the cheese you buy on the receipt but they were lost within seconds probably.

Anyway it really is the perfect shop.. Completely recommend it. We happily spent ages in there and not just because the cheeseroom was like being inside a giant fridge on a day that was hotter than the sun.

In other Gwyneth news, it seems she was enjoying the sun as well.. spending the day with her homeboy Jay-Z at Glastonbury watching her BFF Beyonce on stage. I at least caught the performance on BBC - Beyonce was amazing - big love for the revival of that Foxy Cleopatra weave from 2002.

Gwynnie says: Bon Appétit!!!

We've known for quite a while that Gwyneth would be gracing the cover of Bon Appétit's June issue. We waited, and waited, and waited. When May arrived we assumed that Bon Appétit June would be out soon. It wasn't. Then we waited some more, the angry Indian man at our local magazine stand was clearly getting annoyed with us. Then last Monday it came. Even though we had seen the cover, read the article (thank you internet) and seen the pictures (only Gwyneth can pull off white shorts in the kitchen), we were excited like kids getting a puppy on christmas day.

The article starts like this: "She's an actress, a singer, a blogger, a mom, a wife and now a cookbook author. Is there anything Gwyneth Paltrow can't do? We hopped a plane to London to find out once and for all." THEY GOT THEIR ANSWER!! They should have asked US!!! NO THERE IS SIMPLY NOTHING SHE CAN'T DO!!! SHE IS WONDERWOMAN!!


On our quest to become wondergwyneth ourselves we thought we would try one of the recipes from the mag: her corn vychissoise.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 medium leeks, white and light-green parts only, coarsely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 5 ears shucked corn, kernels cut from cobs, cobs reserved
• 1 cup coarsely chopped peeled potato (about 1 medium)
• 4 cups good-quality vegetable stock
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
• 
  

Preparation

• Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add corn kernels, reserved cobs, potato, and stock. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Increase heat to high and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover with lid slightly ajar, and cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 35 minutes.
• Discard corn cobs; let soup cool slightly. Working in batches, purée soup in a blender until very smooth. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl; strain, discarding solids. Chill soup until cold. If too thick, thin with water by 1/4-cupfuls. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Spoon a dollop of crème fraîche atop each serving and sprinkle with chives.

When I grow up I want to be Tracy Anderson.

Hi guys!

Sorry we have neglected you, and neglected Gwynnie for so long! Being the Yummy Mummies that we are, we had very little time to fit this blog in our grueling schedules. It's very involved being us.

A few weeks ago we ordered the Tracy Anderson Method Dance Cardio Workout on the internet. It has been sitting on my desk for ages now and I thought it'd be fun to try it out now that we have a little time to breath (and sweat).

OMG. This woman is INSANE. I have been "practicing" (ie: jumping around like an idiot) the same 20 seconds of the routine for the last 2 hours. It goes so fast!! She's so quick!! arrrghhh. I found myself yelling at my computer: TRACE (that's what Gwynnie calls her) MY BRAIN IS NOT SENDING THE MESSAGE TO MY LIMBS TO MOVE THEMSELVES QUICKLY ENOUGH TO FOLLOW YOU, FREAK!!!

Then I calmed down, considered having a Nairn's stem ginger oat biscuit, then calmed down some more and remembered what Gwyn had said in her interview to Self magazine: "It took me a long time to learn the choreography when i started. I was so uncoordinated! After 11 minutes, I'd pass out and cry and say, "I can't do this anymore!" Now I can't live without it."

So I took a deep breath and tried again. I stopped trying to be perfect at it and just tried to break a sweat. It is truly fun and to be honest if I can ever look like Tracy Anderson, I'm ready to do anything. Even dance around like a goofball.

So go ahead guys!!! DANCE!!!

If you want the video it is available on amazon for like 8$.

Lots of Love and remember: WWGD?

Gwyneth on Twitter!

Hi guys!
Gwyneth is on Twitter! Not that we care for Twitter that much, but we do like a good sneak on Gwynnie's life!

Here is the link:

Ps: I really think the next logical step in becoming Gwyneth would be to marry a rocker and have babies.

Gwyneth is Married to a Musician?

So apparently our favourite actress/singer/lifestyle-inspiration's husband is quite famous in his own right? Chris Martin from a little known band from here in the UK called Coldplay..

Well, their new song Every Teardrop is a Waterfall is surprisingly good for working out to. The tempo is just perfect for soundtracking a difficult intervals session.


By the looks of it Chris has been taking a leaf out of Gwyneth's fitness book. Maybe they do Tracy Anderson's DVDs at home together with Moses and Apple..? Quality family time.
I actually think Lola might have a bit of a crush on Chris as she was making crude jokes about Gwynnie getting private shows and commenting on his honed arms ("he does have some major pipes").
I think, either way, we both agree there is a marked improvement from his early days.. but Gwyn did once date Brad Pitt so to be expected.

I wonder when the day will come for Gwyneth to to a duet on the album.. I mean with Glee, Cee-Lo Green and Jay-Z.. Till then we'll just have to be content with wishful thinking and listening to Natasha Bedingfield singing Scientist while we pretend it's actually Gwyneth..

Sunny London cook-a-thon

For those of you who have the privilege of living in London, you will agree with me that the weather has been just fab-u-lous. As fabulous as the Gwynnie herself!
So what better to do in such beautiful weather than barbecue??
So that's what we did on Friday!
I went to my local butcher on Fulham Road, always so sweet and amicable. I bought some wonderful rib-eyed steaks (which I didn't have because Gwynnie swore off red-meat after Leo Dicaprio exposed her to the cruelty of mega-farms) and some fresh veggies.
I had never barbecued before so I ask my butcher how to cook steaks on the BBQ to which he replied: "Well surely you have a boyfriend to cook them for you."
Oh right. Thank you. THANK YOU for reminding me that I don't have a boyfriend and for giving me such good culinary advice. That is just fabulous. Anyway, I managed to cook them and apparently they were just delish. My real pride and joy though were the veggies! So simple yet soo sooo good! Just cut up some peppers, fennel and zucchinis add some olive oil, lemon juice, loads of garlic, fresh thym and salt and pepper. I let it marinate for about 2 hours and then maybe 10 minutes on the grill. The fennel on the grill...is out of this world.

Those of you who know me a little, will know that I have the biggest sweet tooth on the planet.
So when Gwyneth came out with her cookbook and provided us with this amazing healthy-as-can-get-brownies recipe I HAD to try it. After a lovely trip to Wholefoods (I feel so good in there, I could do a sun salutation in the middle of the wholewheat pastas and breads aisle) I had all my ingredients ready for the ultimate healthy brownie: HELLO AGAVE SYRUP and SPELT FLOUR!!!

These brownies (NO EGGS!) were seriously the best brownies I have ever had!! Do not forget to put in the chocolate chips in the middle and on top... simply decadent. This is truly the Marie-Antoinette of all brownies. 

Key points: Don't over beat! And she says 30 minutes, but mine were ready in 20...so be careful! 

Also I put some actual milk instead of soy milk...didn't really change anything. No fuss. 

DELICIOUS!! ENJOY! Life is too short! 

What would Gwynnie do? She'd eat those brownies.

Daily-Healthy-Living-Log

Only a quick post from us tonight..

Luke's daily-healthy-living-log: 

I just got back from Sainsburys after a gruelling Power Pump class. For once I thought past the immediate hunger and actually did a sensible shop. I don't think my groceries have looked so healthy in a while. A veritable kaleidoscope of coloured fruit and veg that Gwyneth would be so proud of.

Lola's daily-healthy-living-log:

I went to M&S post-workout (20 minutes of interval running and 20 minutes muscle work) and bought veggies to make a wonderful salad with some left over grilled salmon. I sprinkled everything with linseeds and it was delish. Linseeds are soooo good for you, you wouldn't believe it. My favorite benefit: they make your skin look GREAT! and they are packed with Omega-3! Seriously I just sprinkle them on EVERYTHING: cereals, salads, roasted veggies, yogourt, pasta. Name it.

http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/whattoeat/a/flaxinfo.htm

Anything you are proud of today? Good workout? Healthy food choices?

When in doubt just ask yourself: What would Gwynnie do?

Lots of love!

L & L

Saint-Jean-Carb-Ferrat

So I’m back in London. Tanned and happy. And exhausted. Sipping a longed-for-glass-of-rosé.

How beautiful is the South of France!! I’ve been several times in several different towns, but I have to admit the seclusiveness and exclusiveness of Cap-Ferrat really beat anything I had seen before. I’m sure Gwynnie loves Cap-Ferrat though she talks about Spain and Italy like ALL THE TIME (Mind, we would probably do too if Mario Batali were our BFF).

Anyway, a sweet long bank holiday weekend wouldn’t be the same without some delicious food, a good workout and some pool time, right?

Following Gwynnie’s recent GOOP newsletter on how to make pizza in your backyard we thought relevant to use our own* backyard oven (should we say poolside oven?) in Cap Ferrat.

Actually even though we love The Cooking I thought it’d be unfair to strip the chef of his title even for this blog’s sake. So the chef made the pizza! SO SIMPLE! It was delish. Or déclicieux! Merci Alexandre! (Yes, he was as hot as he sounds). 

Ok he doesn't look that hot, but he really was. AND he cooks pizza. Outside. With his bare-hands. 

Even though my days always involve a lot of running around (thanks to my glorious flourishing career in the nanny industry), I always try to stick in some workout of some kind. Here in Cap-Ferrat the workout de choix has to be running. It’s really bad for your knees and my physician doesn’t want me to run because of the arthritis I have in my hip (no joke, it’s the right one), but you do what you gotta do. 

In Cap-Ferrat is a long path that goes up and down all around the peninsula’s cliffs. The sun is terribly hot but at least there is this diviiiine breeze that makes it a bit bearable. The magnificent view helps as well. So listening to Single Ladies and Irreplaceable by Beyoncé, I ran for 30 minutes (We hear Gwynnie’s like bestieswith Beybey, so we thought it was a good workout playlist).

The best part of it all: passing by people who look at you like your insane because really who would go running up and down a barely paved path in 30 degrees heat? GWYNETH WOULD. Gwyneth would people!! 

The path. It almost killed me several times. Near-death experience in Cap-Ferrat. Were so chic.

The sun was just too bright to open my eyes. But I did run 30 minutes under it! AH! 

GORGEOUS, isn’t it? I thought Gwyneth would really like to workout here. Or at least she’d want us to stay active, especially after all that margherita pizza and truffle pizza (yes, truffles smell like feet but GOD IT WAS YUMMY IN MY TUMMY.)  

We also visited Jean Cocteau’s house in which he painted on the walls. He was friends with Picasso…anyway, very cool house. And even though it has nothing to do with our mentor, I thought Villa Sospir was worth mentioning! Gwyneth is really big on culture. So we hear. 

And Lukas, for the record, this was the view I had over the long weekend:

Jealous? 

Oh and did I mention Karolina Kurkova joined in the pool fun? ;)

How was London?

* Please note that I’m using the term “own” very loosely here. 

Hit & Miss

My Gwyneth Level (the amount my life resembles Gwyneth's) has fluctuated like Kerry Katona's weight since my last post.
Due to time constraints and generally poor organisation of my life I didn't manage to make mixed mezze for Vanessa's birthday. I also didn't make Nigella's Old Fashioned Cheesecake due to poorly stocked local supermarkets. These are hurdles that Gwynnie and any other successful yummy mummy would have sailed over gracefully. I, however, tumbled like a hippo. It wasn't all a failure as I did manage to bake Hummingbird Bakery's Strawberry & Cream Cheescake from their new book - I had to steal a photo of the recipe from a copy of the book in Sainsburys, I felt justified due to their lack of curd cheese.
I think it turned out okay..? Vanessa said she enjoyed it, though the enjoyment was hampered by my strict instructions not to use any metal implements near my cake tin (Lukas the Utensil Nazi). No photos unfortunately, but I'll undoubtedly make it again and share the results with y'all.
Vanessa's birthday party was lots of fun, the theme was "Thousand and Third Night Party".. it's kind of a fashion history in-joke - mine and Lola's class is lame like that. Anyway, got a bit too drunk, 20 McNuggets from Maccy D's, spent all of bank holiday in bed with America's Next Top Model Cycle 14.. I realise this was all very un-Gwyneth of me.
BUT..! Today! Total recovery on my journey to become Gwyneth's Next Biggest Fan.
Got to uni on time! Attended the Central Saint Martins' graduate show which once boasted Gwyn's friend and sometime designer Stella McCartney on it's schedule! Celeb spotted Christopher Kane (sat in front of me) and Daisy Lowe! To top it off, just did advanced Spin and Yoga classes at the gym!

Beat that Lola.. x

Carbonara & Cap Ferrat

So I've been roped into co-writing this blog with Lola.. As a fellow Gwyneth fan and believer in balancing strict diets and over exercising with my high flying showbiz career and being a yummy mummy, I feel I am qualified to accept this task.

Unfortunately I haven't yet got my hands on Gwynnie's first foray into food literature 'Notes From My Kitchen Table' but Lola informs me it's a good read. I can't wait to get it for my birthday next month to fill the gap in between my Nigella and Sophie Dahl cookbooks..! Gwynnie looks delightful on the cover.. healthy AND happy - just like the book says.

In it's absence I decided to cook a meal from my recipe repertoire today, (wholewheat) Spaghetti Carbonara (made the authentic Italian way, naturally). It was the perfect post gym meal - luxurious enough that I didn't feel hard done by - but the eggs, pancetta and parmesan provided me with more than enough protein to fuel my tired muscles. For the record, Saturday mornings involve Spin and Body Pump back to back.. so I was justified having a big meal that early in the day. 

A good friend of Lola and myself, Vanessa, is celebrating her birthday tomorrow and for her Arabian Nights themed party I will be preparing some Mezze dips and a traditional middle eastern cheesecake - a recipe from Nigella Kitchen. Expect some pics tomorrow!!

Lola would be helping me out with this cookathon but she's off acquiring a tan in Cap Ferrat, which is a bit nicer than my St. Tropez version (bottle brown for the win). Lets compare..

This is the view from my window..

And this is what Lola can expect to see out of hers..

.. not that I'm bitter. Come back soon Lola..!

Here we are!! Lola and Lukas!!!

Hi guys! Last month Gwyneth spoke to Self magazine.
And she said she was in the best shape of her life and she spoke 'work out' a little bit...
She does 45 minutes of cardio 5 times a week, then 45 minutes of muscular structure work.
She does mostly Tracy Anderson's dance aerobics classes:
 "It took me a long time to learn the choreography when i started I was so uncoordinated! After 11 minutes, I'd pass out and cry and say: "I can't do this anymore!!" Now I can't live without it."

aaaaaahhh... Ok. Lukas and I LOVE the exercise, but an hour and 30 minutes for five days a week!!! Ouchie. We'll try.
I have to tell myself I could look like this:

And Lukas has to just go with it. Cause he took the oath. And he's a very supportive friend.

xxxx
Lola

So we always knew Gwyneth Paltrow could act. We also knew she was very pretty and was married to Coldplay frontman and musical genius: Chris Martin. Then came GOOP, her lifestyle blog on how to live fabulously and wholesomely. As much as we wanted to hate it we couldn't. So we subscribed to her Newsletter.
Then came Country Strong (or is it Country Song?). Blimey! She can actually sing! And play guitar. OH and did we mention those MILES of legs at the CMAs last year? We took a deep breath and tried to ignore the fact that she has a better body after two kids than we would ever have (were 23). We thought, yes perhaps bitterly: "She must be starving herself."
THEN came the COOKBOOK!
So she does eat. Great. And you know what? That book is a-ma-zing. The recipes are deliissshh and easy!
So as much as we tried to hate it, hate her, it doesn't work. We are in awe and we want to be like her.
This blog is on trying to live as fabulously as la Gwynnie. Lukas and I have taken a secret oath, swearing on her cookbook that we would try and be as grand as she is.
Here it is: Being Gwyneth.
Enjoy!
