Dinner at Jennifer Aniston’s House

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a dinner guest at the home of a celebrity, or hoped that one day you might get an invitation to be an insider, you’re about to get your wish. Jennifer Aniston invited O magazine to be a fly on the wall as she hosted one of her regular dinners with friends: in this case famous faces like Courteney Cox and Jennifer Meyer (wife of Tobey Maguire) were in attendance.

“My friends love coming over because they get fed. It’s the best restaurant in town,” says Jen.

O magazine says that Jen didn’t always use her kitchen to the fullest. She ”once saw her kitchen as little more than a place to store PowerBars and prepackaged Zone meals.” Then she hired two private chefs, sisters Jewels and Jill Elmore.

Now she has opened up to eating fish and aims to love brussel sprouts as well. “People used to always ask us, ‘What does Jen eat?’ We’d reply: ‘Healthy, clean food…like we do!’” says Jewels.

On the menu tonight is a delicious Mexican feast: guacamole, tostadas, chili-rubbed chicken and mashed yams.

“Cooking is such an intimate thing to do for someone. When you know the people you’re cooking for, you can see when they need a boost. There are days when Jen is so busy, she’ll put herself on the back burner. I can help her take care of herself,” says Jewels.

But Jen’s not the only one who gets taken care of by a dose of healthy home cooking.

“You always know you’re going to have a great time, and you’re going to leave feeling better than when you came,” says television producer Ellen Rakieten.

You can see the full menu, with recipes (beginning with a frozen margarita) online at O magazine.
