The nanny said Sudeikis got upset when he saw Wilde making her "special salad dressing" for Harry Styles.

In May 2020, Wilde appeared on "Questlove's Potluck" and made an elaborate salad with homemade dressing. On October 18, she shared a similar recipe from a Nora Ephron novel.

In May 2020, Wilde appeared on "Questlove's Potluck" and made an elaborate salad with homemade dressing. On October 18, she shared a similar recipe from a Nora Ephron novel.

This salad called for 19 ingredients (including salt and pepper).

I tried a royal family recipe for scones that the Queen made for a US president in the 1950s. If you like American-style pancakes, these are for you.
