Gwyneth Paltrow has made no secret of her desire to become the next Martha Stewart, even if it costs her a marriage. Chris Martin may be ambivalent about Gwyneth’s GOOP and her dream of a cookbook/linens/cookware line, but you know what Gwyneth says? “F-ck the haters.”
Gwyneth has announced her next step in GOOPy world domination - a cookbook. She even has a title! It will be called My Father’s Daughter, which is really nice until you consider that the cookbook will probably consist of macrobiotic stuff that doesn’t really involve “cooking”, only peeling two dozen carrots.
Gwyneth Paltrow is branching out all over the place these days. First she started her own lifestyle newsletter, GOOP, dedicated to nourishing the inner aspect. Now the Oscar-winning actress has plans to publish her first cookbook, sweetly titled, My Father’s Daughter.
According to publishers Janklow & Nesbit, the cookbook will focus on the importance of togetherness at mealtime, emphasizing that cooking for your family is the ultimate expression of love. All the recipes have been designed with the entire family in mind.
The tentative publication date is slated for fall, 2010.
Gwyneth, 36, has said that she really got into cooking after the birth of her daughter in 2004. The once glamour-girl seen at the trendiest parties says she’s now more content to play housewife for her husband, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, and their children, Apple, 4, and Moses, 2.
Gwyneth also says she gets her love of cooking from her dad, Bruce Paltrow, who died in 2002 from throat cancer.
“My dad was a famous pancake maker and I’m working on [adapting his] recipe right now,” she said. “I’m making mine slightly healthier.”
Last fall, Gwyneth embarked on a road trip with chef Mario Batali, where the two explored and tasted their way through Spain. The trip was filmed for a PBS series Spain: On the Road Again.

Gwyneth giveth and Gwyneth taketh away - first she’s the party girl in Miami, sliding up to billionaires, then she’s the hardcore chick with the cigarette hanging out of her mouth muttering something about “the haters”, and then she’s back to the sanctimonious GOOPiness that will be a new generation’s stick-thin Martha Stewart. Does it seem like Gwyneth is flailing to anyone else?
My prediction for the cookbook will be one of two things - either she’ll just GOOP up versions of established recipes from established chefs, like, say, oh, Mario Batali. Either that, or she’ll try to jam down some of her specialized macrobiotic stuff (that she doesn’t even eat anymore). If there are pancakes in the cookbook… well, I’m not holding my breath. Or my appetite.

Wow, a goopy cookbook - gotta be some deelishus goop in there. Like ground broccoli, pureed rice …
-
That “good person” is going to teach us how to assemble half a tomato with 2 leaves of lettuce and make it a diner… in a meaningfull and spiritual way, of course
-
Who the hell wants a “healthy” pancake? They’re a treat, not for everyday breakfast, so what’s the big deal?
-
First she was the Indie girl then the Rock Star Wife , then the Earth Mother who was never going to work again,then she hiked up her skirt and wore some heels,not to mention her new venture PUKE….no sorry…….GOOP.
The fact that she’s tried to manifest herself in so many different ways over the years just shows how contrived she is. -
Thanks, Gloaming, contrived is exactly what she is.
Here she goes again, presenting her ‘philosophy’ - the website, now the cookbook - as innovative and original. Who knew that cooking for your family is an expression of love? This setting herself up as some arbiter of good taste and lifestyle just comes across as deeply calculated and the polar opposite of free-spirited and spontaneous. Everything about her now is contrived.

I can’t believe I’m the first to write a faux recipe. I love you all but omg, you’re slacking!!!
2 tsp haute
3 cups Ego
1 tbsp Pridestir briskly

2 cups of entitlement
1 cup of affectation
3 tsp fake british accentbring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer
serve with a pair of manolo blahniks

She’s not contrived, she’s evolving. You should try it.
-
I’m evolving, too, Sally Sue. But into a better person, not an asshole, like Gwynneth.
-
Yes, she’s evolving, but it’s what she’s evolving into that’s the problem.
LOL! at the recipes!
-
Well, that crooked trainer of hers said she makes the YUMMIEST food. She said so in her “personal” video to Gwynniepoo!
Did anyone look at her Elle interview? She says, “I saw this blog of people writing horrible things about me. And, you know, for a second you lose perspective and your ego is so wounded. You think, how could people hate me or hate my intentions or what I’m trying to do? I’m a good person and I’m trying to put good things into the world. I am who I am. I can’t pretend to be somebody who makes £15,000 a year. That would be completely inauthentic. I know what my intention is – and if it makes one person’s life better, then it’s worth it. And f**k the haters!”
Um…ok.

Why would anybody buy a cookbook from a person who is so opposed to food as she is? Gwynnie, sweetheart, your father’s pancakes are delicious because they have fat and sugar and all those other “unhealthy” ingredients in it. Take it away and they will taste like rubbery slippers.
