No dairy. No chicken. No gluten, and lots of spices is Naomi Campbell’s mantra when it comes to her diet, according to her personal chef Sean John.
“I have cooked for her for over 10 years. She has her own stuff at home, but I prepare one really good meal a day, and it’s super clean and really healthy . . . She’s an ital, which is a Jamaican word for clean vegetarian style, like Bob Marley rasta talk,” John said. “And when she travels private, I prepare those meals, too. She doesn’t eat plane food.”
John has been preparing Campbell’s meals throughout the pandemic and recently reopened his Chelsea Market restaurants Tings and Le Song for takeout and delivery. “She never orders from the restaurant. It’s never from the menu. She’s basically like, ‘Make something, but not what’s on the menu,’ so it’s always a creative process,” he said.
And the Jamaican chef says don’t even try to pull one over on her when it comes to seasoning.
“She has to have flavor. You can’t just put salt and pepper in it. I don’t do that anyway, but she knows! There’s got to be some spice and herbs. She’s all about making it soulful and flavorful,” he said.
