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.
