  • Hi, this is Catherine zeta jones and this is everything I eat in a day.

  • Mhm mm.

  • The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is get my coffee going because I really can't do anything properly without my coffee.

  • So I get that brewing through.

  • I usually put it into a french press because there's something very nostalgic about that.

  • I get up very early so my house is super quiet and it's my little time just to be and then I go out and take my dog for his little pee pee and then we come back in and by that point I just do my french press.

  • I pulled my cup of coffee And I just sit, I don't usually eat breakfast until about 8:00.

  • I like to have breakfast on the three meals a day kind of girl.

  • But I do have very, very specific breakfast needs and it's all about daylight savings.

  • So basically in the winter hours I'm a porridge girl.

  • I have porridge with brown sugar, bananas and I make it to the bananas are all soggy and full of brown sugar and I put some blueberries on the top and I literally have that every morning, definitely monday to friday.

  • I'll let you know what happens on Sundays and Saturdays.

  • When we spring forward, I go into my yogurt, non fat vanilla, yoghurt, bare naked granola, blueberries, raspberries and that is my summer months.

  • Go to breakfast, cut two Saturdays and Sundays.

  • That's when we as a family do a good british fryer.

  • I get my imported british bacon.

  • We have sausages, which we call bangers, we are baked beans, scrambled eggs and then for the american contingent in my family, which is my husband and my two Children, we do french toast is actually the Martha Stewart recipe.

  • It's really good brioche bread, let it soak, put a little bit of cinnamon, a little bit of vanilla and then of course, good old Canadian maple syrup every weekend it comes together in a fabulous family brunch.

  • We love it.

  • I look forward to it.

  • All week.

  • Next is 11 o'clock.

  • I always have a cup of tea and usually have a cookie or something.

  • I'm not a big snacker except for anything.

  • Chocolate.

  • For me, chocolate is a real treat.

  • I deserve it.

  • I like Cadbury's milk chocolate because again, it's a british brand that I was brought up with and it's very comforting lunch.

  • I always sit down with to lunch with my husband if we're not working, we're very big on family meals.

  • I don't know whether it's my european connection.

  • If the kids are here any family members, anybody who's in our household, we stop and we sit down and we have lunch, lunch is usually a light affair for us.

  • Always a salad.

  • I always have a salad with my lunch and my dinner.

  • So my favorite kind of salad would be a spinach, arugula, mix of leaves, pine nuts, tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, nice farm tomatoes.

  • Not, I don't like the little tiny ones.

  • I like the big right one, especially if I'm in europe.

  • I eat tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes.

  • I sometimes put a little blue cheese.

  • I love blue cheese.

  • My husband loves blue cheese isn't a quiet taste, so I wouldn't serve that to my guests.

  • I like to throw some dry cranberries in.

  • I'm my dressing extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar.

  • I sometimes put some mustard in there.

  • Mix, mix, mix, Mix, Mix, Mix, Mix, Mix, Mix, shake and toss I have a salad every meal other than breakfast because I just adore it to accompany my salad.

  • A little breast of chicken grilled, simply.

  • Maybe some grilled card sometimes, like a stuffed Ober gene.

  • So something like that doesn't weigh me down too much in the afternoon.

  • I always 4 30.

  • I threw my Cassidy to jones coffee.

  • I love it because it's my blend and it's the kind of coffee that I love.

  • If I'm really, really good, I've already baked some scones and clotted cream and jam.

  • So I have like an afternoon tea, Michael and I usually sit down for dinner at eight.

  • Usually if we go out before Covid, we always make our reservation for eight because we're not really into eating late at night, but when we were in europe, we do tend everything our whole life tends to like shift into european hours so we do eat later, but then we go to bed later and then we get up later, so it kind of works itself out.

  • So a typical dinner for me would be my salad in this salad at night.

  • I love fruit.

  • I always chop up an apple, throw it in a salad.

  • Of course.

  • I love avocado and a salad to I would put oranges in my salad, figs in my salad.

  • I love that combo.

  • So my perfect supper probably would b I'm a big fish and chicken, white meat kind of girl.

  • But I do love just a regular Philomena with like a mushroom, shiitake mushroom sauce.

  • The way I make it is that I usually by the base, the kind of base of it and then just add in a lot of mushrooms and then vegetables clean.

  • So Tate.

  • If someone was to say to me, what would be your final wish for meal?

  • What I do love is cauliflower cheese, I guess.

  • I'm a big cheese lover, I love cauliflower cheese, I think it's because my mom was never a great cook, but that was like her thing, a big collar flour cooked whole with cheese sauce and melted cheese all over it.

  • And that was like one of his specialties.

  • That's something that it's a little piece of home.

  • Some of my favorite cuisines and I love to travel and I find that through food, you really get a sense of the life and the culture of a place and just from community of cooking together, of chatting over making a meal is something so comforting and so universal.

  • When I was pregnant, I craved indian food every, every day I was brought up on indian food in Wales, in where I come from.

  • We have a fabulous, huge indian community, indian food has been really, you know, intermixed into, into Britain things I avoid to eat.

  • I don't like offal liver kidneys so that's tripe, can't do that.

  • Msg for me it's not just, I feel thirsty for me.

  • I look like I've had five rounds with mike Tyson in a boxing ring.

  • I have lips that look really pretty for about two minutes because they're all plumped and I go, wow, my lips look great and then all of a sudden they get really dry and they get really bulbous and it's an awful, awful reaction that I have.

  • My love desserts.

  • Ice cream was just across the board.

  • I'm just a huge ice cream lover.

  • And of course, how can I forget my mother's apple pie, the only other great things you can cook coupled with a little scoop of ice cream.

  • And I'm a really, really happy woman.

  • Some people say, do you live to eat or do you eat to live?

  • I'm somewhere in between.

  • That's everything I eat in a day, enjoy.

  • Yeah, mm.

  • Yeah.

Hi, this is Catherine zeta jones and this is everything I eat in a day.
