Keira Knightley's Fatty Food Fixation

Keira Knightley loves eating chips.

The slender actress says enjoying big meals is one of her favourite pastimes, particularly if they feature fattening French Fries or pasta.

She admitted: "I'm a big foodie. In my family life, all good things revolve around the dinner table. My mum's cooking is great. We have big dinners, and big everything. There's nothing like a really good chip, a really crunchy, good chip. And I love pasta. I make Bolognese with tons and tons of Parmesan cheese."

But 10 minutes later we were laughing about it. I mean, if I were Nigella Lawson, I would have licked it off the floor very seductively as opposed to bursting into tears.

Despite enjoying cooking, Keira admits her kitchen disasters have occasionally reduced her to tears.

She told Australia's Marie Claire magazine: "The other night, a friend was teaching me how to make an eggplant bake. I brought it out of the oven in this beautiful bowl - and dropped it. It smashed all over the kitchen, and I burst into tears.
