Hungry Girl's Kitchen

Lisa Lillien has built an empire around low-cal cooking, with her Hungry Girl show on Food Network and Cooking Channel, six Hungry Girl books and a daily newsletter with more than 1 million subscribers. But when she was decorating her Encino, Calif., kitchen, she threw portion control out the window.

Comically Large Food

Lisa gets a kick out of wacky food products, particularly oversized ones like this ketchup bottle. She also owns a giant SpaghettiOs can and a gargantuan bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's.

Time for Dinner

Fake-Out Fruit

Guests often fall for Lisa's hyper-realistic faux fruit, made of rubber: The peach even has a little fuzz on it. "You should see my office," she says. "It's full of fake food."

Old-School Diner Decor

Lisa re-created a diner in her kitchen — complete with a booth — because she liked the cozy, friendly feel. She did have to replace her original table, though: "My husband tried to torch Kobe beef one night like they do in restaurants," she says. "Instead, he torched the table."

Vintage Lunchboxes

Lisa owns more than 250 old lunchboxes and keeps 77 of them in this custom-built cabinet. They feature old TV shows (Get Smart), movies (Star Wars), bands (The Beatles), video games (Pac-Man) and more.
