...trip climbing Mount Kilimanjaro gave some idea of why many say she sets an impossible standard for regular women. Finding the food at Horombo Hut at 12,500 ft. "inedible," she commandeered the porters and put together vegetable soup, chicken risotto and tomato salad using her Swiss Army knife. "She drives me insane," says Katherine Stuart, 33, of Los Angeles. "Part of me loves her. I mean, my God, she picks her own eggs, makes her own paint and makes everything so pretty.

A ginger and sesame spiced chicken salad crunched with bean sprouts. The squid in the calamari risotto salad was tender, though the rice itself was overcooked.
