1 Hailey Bieber's pizza toast. She claims she discovered the recipe when she was high. Her 17-step recipe calls for fresh tomatoes, burrata, parmesan, and sourdough. Her hack? Let the tomato slices marinate for five minutes in lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, and salt, before you layer them on the bread. She also likes to toast the bread and melt the cheese before baking for six minutes. Yum.
2 Cameron Diaz's leftovers ramen. "I call it whatever-you-got ramen," Diaz says in an Insta video. Diaz just so happens to have diced carrots, shallots, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, and her favourite ingredient, celery, lying around, which she adds to two packets of instant noodles. Tip: Finely dice all the veggies so they're evenly distributed, ditch the seasoning powder and plop in copious amounts of ginger-garlic sauce instead.
3 Alicia Silverstone's artichoke, mushroom, and leek crostini. Silverstone, who calls herself "a professional eater", says this recipe is one of her favourites from her book, The Kind Diet. It's braised mushrooms and leek on artichoke and pesto. Bonus points if you can top it with fresh chives and basil. It's perfect if you want to be extra fancy and impress your dinner guests.
4 Jackie Shroff's baingan bharta.
