Celebrity chef Paula Deen, who has recently found herself in some controversy after alleged racist behaviour against African-Americans, has come out denying all allegations.

Deen said that she couldn’t be racist as she could name several ‘black dishes’ that she had cooked, some of which she counted amongst her favorite recipes.
