Amal Clooney is a high-profile attorney that specializes in human rights, criminal, international, as well as extradition law. And while she's achieved more than anyone could ever imagine, don't assume that she knows how to work the kitchen.

A source told NY Daily News' Confidential that when the executive chef of Patsy's Italian Restaurant in New York, Sal Scognamillo, offered the 37-year old lawyer his new cookbook on Monday night, she graciously declined and jokingly said, "What? You think I cook? I don't cook! You expect me to learn?"

George Clooney's wife spent the day with her mother-in-law, Nina Clooney and ended their day by having dinner at the upscale restaurant located on West 56^th, where George finally joined them.

Amal asked Sal what he would recommend on the menu and informed him that she does not eat tomatoes. The chef recommended that she order the penne mixed with spicy marinara and topped with cherry peppers, so she ordered that and had a house salad as a starter without the tomatoes. 

The source further revealed that George said he was watching his weight and opted to eat the tricolore salad and the chicken tricolore. They ended their meal with various desserts, and while the ladies enjoyed the sweets, the 53-year old actor decided to hold back because of his concerns with his weight.

 "They were very nice and they said hello to customers," the source added.
