Preferring the intensity and chaos that comes with a commercial kitchen, George leaves the cooking at home to wife Natalie Tricarico, as it’s too ‘domestic’.
And when George and Natalie invited Nigella Lawson over for dinner years prior, the chef found himself in an awkward situation.
George told The Living Room’s Amanda Keller: ‘There was this moment when we were standing around the kitchen bench, and I was mixing this salad, and I’ve gone to Natalie, “What’s this bowl? I’ve never seen this before”.
‘And Nigella blushed and Nat’s giggling, and I went “What’s going on?” and then I lifted the bowl and said “Oh my gosh! It was a Nigella bowl”,’ George went on to say with a laugh.

MasterChef is in its tenth season and will see the return of Nigella on-screen.
The 58-year-old British cook first appeared as a guest judge on the Channel Ten reality series back in 2016.
Nigella only had praise for the program in an interview with The Daily Telegraph last December.
‘It’s a very kind program and it’s positive and helps people in the right way,’ she told the publication.
‘It’s not at all about making people feel bad about themselves,’ Nigella added.
