Sure, we need food for sustenance, but d*mn, does it taste amazing! And our favorite female celebrities feel exactly the same way. If you have a love for simple foods, like traditional grilled cheese — maybe with some savory bacon? — or even something flavor packed, like peri-peri chicken with spicy goodness (hello, Nando's!), you can call yourself a cuisine aficionado.
Whether you’re your own Chef Gordon Ramsey or a professional cereal-maker, everyone is a food lover though. And these celeb ladies are foodies JUST like us.
As you sit back and enjoy that cool martini (or maybe you're a soothing, warm cuppa tea kind of person?), think of these great ladies and the fact that you aren’t all that different. They Instagram their #foodporn with you because they know it's one of the best ways to connect with their fans!
So, here it is. A round-up of some of our favorite quotes from Hollywood starlets on the powerful world of food and drink. It's VERY telling of how much food brings people together and makes our tummies happy.
