KEY POINTS:
Gwyneth Paltrow is to co-host a new Spanish cookery show.
The Hollywood actress, who follows a strict macrobiotic diet, has agreed to present the programme with her chef friend Mario Batali.
Gwyneth - who once subscribed to a vegan lifestyle - can't wait to start work on the project because she is such a huge fan of Spanish food.
The Running with Scissors star, who speaks fluent Spanish, said: "I eat lots of Spanish stuff, the crazy fish things and the eels. I love it all. But I still don't eat pork or beef, so I won't be cooking that."
The 34-year-old actress ditched her vegan diet last year after giving birth to her son Moses, her second child with her Coldplay star husband Chris Martin.
Gwyneth - who also has a three-year-old daughter, Apple, with Chris - ditched the strict eating plan, which doesn't allow any animal food, after struggling to shift her baby weight.
The Oscar-winning actress now allegedly sticks to a diet devised by celebrity health guru Dr Joshi, whose clients include Cate Blanchett, Kate Moss and Rupert Everett.
Gwyneth can eat white meat and fish, vegetables and bananas, but is not allowed to eat wheat, dairy products, tomatoes, peppers, fruit, sugar, gluten and red meat.
