Does Lindsay Lohan (39) Know How to Cook?
She played a parent-swapping twin in ‘The Parent Trap,’ a lovable mean girl in ‘Mean Girls,’ and a holiday rom-com lead on Netflix. But there is one role Lindsay Lohan has been quietly owning behind closed doors, and it has nothing to do with Hollywood.
It turns out the iconic actress is genuinely passionate about food, and she has the recipes to prove it.
She Has an Actual Food Page on Her Website
Lindsay’s official website includes a dedicated food section packed with recipes she makes herself. We’re talking homemade mac and cheese loaded with sweet corn and two types of cheese, pomegranate chocolate bark with coconut shavings, meatballs with parmesan and fresh breadcrumbs soaked in milk, and even a full Thai basil chicken with garlic, shallots, and jasmine rice.
These are not sponsored meal kit recommendations. They read like pages torn from a well-loved home cook’s personal notebook.
Her Morning Starts With a Homemade Juice
Before she even thinks about a meal, Lohan kicks off the day with a morning juice blend made from carrots, ginger, lemon, olive oil, and apple. She is also, by her own admission, a devoted pickled beets fan who puts them in almost everything.
What She Actually Makes for Dinner
When it comes to dinner, Lohan keeps things simple but genuinely satisfying. She told EatingWell she always has “a good go-to pasta” on rotation, or grilled chicken with a lemon sauce served with rice or orzo.
Her Snack Game Is Refreshingly Real
On the go, she keeps gluten-free crackers and nuts in her bag for quick energy. She is also refreshingly honest about raiding her kid’s chip stash when nothing else is around.
Her podcast revealed another fan favorite: wasabi peas, a snack she and her sister bonded over on air and apparently both take very seriously.
She Learned From the Best
Lohan once cooked a chicken pot pie alongside Jamie Oliver on his show ‘Jamie and Jimmy’s Friday Night Feast,’ tackling homemade pastry and a full chicken and veal meatball filling from scratch.
She has also spoken openly about her love for Middle Eastern cuisine, inspired by her husband’s family heritage, and considers spaghetti and meatballs her ultimate comfort meal.
The Hollywood version of Lindsay Lohan always made headlines. But the Dubai-based, Pilates-loving, pickled-beets-obsessed home cook who quietly posts her own recipes online? That version is far more interesting.
