Paltrows Brush With Deep-Fat Fryer

Health Nut Paltrow Gets An Unhealthy Masterclass With London Chefs

Health Nut Gwyneth Paltrow was given a calorific task while training with chefs in a London restaurant kitchen - she was put in charge of the deep-fat fryer.

The Iron Man star is famous for her notoriously strict diets, enduring a macrobiotic plan and punishing herself with excessive exercise and yoga regimes to keep her slender figure.

The actress recently admitted that living in Britain and becoming a mother of two has cost her her once ultra-healthy lifestyle, and she proved she's no longer counting the calories while cooking with chefs at London's River Cafe - she relished the chance to deep-fry everything in sight.

On her Goop newsletter, she reveals, "A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending the day working in London's famous River Café, and it was incredible! The kitchen runs with a precision you would expect but a calm you perhaps would not.

"Once service started, I was stationed at the deep fat fryer (Delight! Fried zucchini! Fried anchovies!), and also helped Danny on pasta with his very busy day. It was an experience I won't soon forget."
