Read This: Prince’s personal chefs talk about what the reclusive musician ate

As the article explains, Prince was a vegetarian, not a vegan. Meat was on his “don’t” list, as were mushrooms and feta cheese. The Purple One also attempted a ban on onions, but the Robertses used the aromatic vegetables anyway, just finely minced. The mysterious musician lived up to his reputation as a demanding perfectionist, and he kept his refrigerator so organized that it looked like it was “staged for a photo shoot.” But, above all, his chefs remember him as a joyful, fun-loving man who was a delightful employer. That is, until the last few months, when he was plagued by illnesses and didn’t seem like himself anymore. The article is not entirely a downer, though. The happiest revelation here is that Prince was a lover of desserts. Various cakes and cookies were always on the menu, though the musician did not gorge himself. “Some nights,” they say, “that’s all he had to eat.”
