A First Look At Gwyneth Paltrow's Cookbook!





















We spotted Gwyneth Paltrow attend not one but two book signings for her new cookbook "My Father's Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness" yesterday. First she visited Williams-Sonoma in New York City dressed in a cute navy blue dress with a matching bow belt and a few hours and a wardrobe change later, she entered Williams-Sonoma in Short Hills, New Jersey. Being the fitness and food freak that she is, we're sure the book contains at least a few really good tips and recipes!

We've gathered a few quotes for you from the book, so you can get a feel for what it's like.

"One year I was given a birthday present I'll never forget, a cooking lesson from Jamie Oliver."

"Through this process my father and daughter had unwittingly taught me the importance of balance. Could I use some butter and cheese and eggs in my cooking without going down some kind of hippie shame spiral? Yes. Of course I could."

"The stove is really the epicenter of my house. I am never far away from it and most of the time there is something atop it, simmering away for my family."

"When I was twenty-one, a friend gave me a book called Diet for a New America by John Robbins, which exposed the brutal practices of American factory farms. That, coupled with a lecture from Leonardo DiCaprio (when he was nineteen and I was twenty-one) about how such animals are kept and processed, made me lose my desire for factory farm pork and beef right there."

"I'm not sure how healthy bacon is in general, but I know it's incredibly delicious."

"I love corn so much I tried to grow it one summer in the garden. The raccoons loved it even more."

"I had my first bowl of gazpacho when I was fifteen in Spain, and the impression it made was a lasting one."

"During the strict macrobiotic chapter of my life, I ate miso soup every day for breakfast and sometimes with dinner as well."

"I first had a version of this at a Japanese monastery during a silent retreat. Don't ask, it's a long story."

We've got a wood-burning pizza oven in the garden. It's a luxury, I know, but it's one of the best investments I've ever made."

"When I pass a flowering zucchini plant in a garden, my heart skips a beat."
