Courtney Love has detailed her eating habits in a food diary.

The Hole rocker documented her diet for New York Magazine's 'Grub Street' feature, revealing a penchant for Dean & Deluca takeaway, toast soldiers and an addiction to sugar.



"I'm not a foodie, but I am a foodie," she told the publication.

"Every day I have my house manager, Hershey - who I stole from the Mercer Hotel with André Balazs's blessing - wake me up with a hot washcloth for my face, a leg rub, and a plate of toast soldiers. Then someone always gets chicken potpie and potato salad from D.D, you know, Dean & Deluca. If I can't afford D.D, I just don't eat."

Love went on to reveal that she insists on having a "full, fresh, new" cake bought daily, and confessed to needing sugar from between the hours of 4-5am.

"My whole sugar thing is a problem. When I lived at the Mercer Hotel, they literally called an admin meeting on how to make the perfect warm sugar cookie for me in the middle of the night. Last night I got into some Jeni's ice cream in Ugandan Vanilla Bean. I stopped doing dope in the '90s, but I've had to eat sweets at 4 or 5 am ever since," she explained.

However, the 47-year-old was quick to clarify which desserts she avoids, adding: "I hate chocolate. F**k chocolate. [Former husband Kurt Cobain] hated chocolate, too - that was one of the things we had in common. Chocolate makes it all too easy. Oooh. Woww. Chocolate. Oooh. Yum. F**k that.

"I'm all about the pineapple upside-down cake, and Google 'crème brûlée circuit'. I coined that s**t."
