Princess Diana Was a "Terrible Cook," Says Her Former Head Chef

If you've ever wondered what Princess Diana's signature dish was, we have the answer — and it's a bit less posh than you might expect. How do microwaved peppers sound to you?

In a recent interview, the style icon's former head chef Darren McGrady said: "The Princess was a terrible cook, she really was. I would actually leave food for her. I worked Monday to Friday and I'd leave food in the refrigerator for the weekend, like stuffed peppers, she loved those for a weekend lunch. I actually put cling film on with a little sticky note with a number two on it, and that told her to put it in the microwave and press two." 

But even though she wasn't exactly on her way to winning a James Beard award, the princess still managed to pull off remarkable birthday spreads for her sons. Well, remarkably colorful, at least. 

McGrady spilled the tea on a particularly memorable cake she ordered for Prince William on his 13th birthday. "I came into work that morning and went down to the refrigerator, opened the door and I was just confronted with the biggest pair of boobs I've ever seen in my life. The Princess had ordered a boobs cake for William's 13th birthday." 

That was, he added, just how his former boss was. "The Princess loved embarrassing people in the nicest way, in a fun way, whether it was telling a dirty, risqué joke — which usually got me. William just went bright-red."
