David Beckham has revealed the food he usually makes for his wife Victoria during their cozy date nights, despite the designer’s “disciplined” diet she has sworn by for 25 years.
The footballer appeared in The Rio Ferdinand podcast presentswhere they asked him about the dinner he preferred when he cooked for his wife.
David shared, “Well, Victoria always loves grilled shrimp, so to start I would make her some grilled shrimp with avocado and then for the main course I would make her a sea bass, but I would bake it with salt.” .
Rio went on to ask, ‘And then for dessert, what would she have for dessert?’
David then added, “I’m not sure she wants dessert.” So that’s what I would make for her and then for me, a nice ragu with fresh pasta.
David Beckham has revealed the food he usually prepares for his wife Victoria during their cozy date nights, despite the designer’s “disciplined” diet she has sworn by for 25 years.
The footballer appeared on The Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, where he was asked about the dinner he preferred when cooking for his wife.
The former England star added that even when it comes to cooking, he remains a perfectionist.
He said, ‘Well, since the documentary, everyone’s been talking about the mushroom moment…’ A lot of people like the care and consideration I put into roasting a mushroom….
‘But that’s, you know, I think if you’re going to do something, you’ve got to do it to the best of your ability. And that’s how I’ve always done things. And even when cooking, I have to do it right.
‘I went through a phase last week when I was in Miami and I was with Sergio Busquets and we were talking about food and we were talking about Spanish food.
‘And he said, ‘Oh, I make a great Spanish omelet’… And I had it in my head to perfect the perfect Spanish omelette. And I did for a week, I made Spanish omelette every day to perfect it…
‘But you know what? Everything comes from, everything comes from my mother. You know, that’s really where.
‘My mother used to let me cook with her when I was young. And then obviously when I moved to Manchester and moved into my own house, you know, I cooked. And I love to cook….
‘But you know what? I love the culinary part, but I think the most important thing is that when I look back and see why I love it so much, it’s because I’m creating something for whoever wants to eat it.
Victoria has a very limited diet, but insisted in a recent conversation with Grazia magazine that she wouldn’t go so far as to give up her beloved wine and that she just wants to “have a good time.”
‘And most of the time it’s my family, my kids and my wife. And I love seeing their reactions to food. And most of the time they are good reactions. But really, that’s when I have the whole family around me. And that’s what I love.
But, you know, it’s not just Michelin-starred restaurants that excite me. I love pie and mash. I get excited. About fish and chips, I mean, I’m passionate about all foods, not just high-end restaurants.
Victoria has a very limited diet, but insisted in a recent conversation with Grazia magazine that she wouldn’t go so far as to give up her beloved wine and that she just wants to “have a good time.”
However, he admitted that his diet was “disciplined” and stated: “That’s how I look.” I’m going to make the best of it, I’m going to work hard at it.
‘I am very disciplined in the way I eat, in the way I exercise and in the way I work. That’s what I am.’
Perhaps this underestimates her extreme eating habits, as her husband David previously revealed that Victoria has eaten the same food every day for 25 years: grilled fish and steamed vegetables.
“I get very excited about food and wine, when I eat something delicious I want everyone to try it,” he said.
‘Unfortunately I’m married to someone who has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years!
The former England star added that even when it comes to cooking, he remains a perfectionist, as he poked fun at the clip of himself roasting a mushroom in his recent Netflix documentary.
‘Since I met her she only eats grilled fish (and) steamed vegetables. You will rarely deviate from that.
“The only time she probably shared something that was on her mind was when she was pregnant with Harper and it was the most surprising thing.
‘It was one of my favorite nights. I don’t remember what it was, but I know he hasn’t eaten it since.
In July, Victoria responded to this confession, telling Vogue Australia that her husband made his tastes “sound boring” when in reality she fills her diet with “healthy fats” and regularly undergoes detoxes in which she abstains from alcohol.
Victoria’s extreme diet has made headlines over the years, and Rio Ferdinand has also given insight into her eating habits.
The retired English footballer, 44, is friends with Victoria’s husband David after playing football together at the World Cup and would sometimes have dinner with the couple during training.
While speaking on Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O, host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson admitted she was “obsessed” with Victoria’s diet.
Rio responded, “I’ve never seen her eat anything.” To be honest, I don’t remember anything that escapes my memory.
