Marie Claire News: Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow has her fingers in all sorts of pies at the moment, first it was her lifestyle website GOOP, now she plans to write a cookbook.

The Oscar-winning actress will publish her book of recipes, entitled My Father's Daughter, next year.

The self-penned book will focus on 'the importance of togetherness at mealtime, emphasising that cooking for your family is the ultimate expression of love.'

The Two Lovers star developed a taste for cooking when she filmed a documentary with chef Mario Batali last year.

The pair went on a road trip across Spain, sampling Iberian cuisine on their travels.

One thing that won't be featured in her book is macrobiotic food, which she says she ditched when she became pregnant with her daughter Apple.

'I couldn't look at brown rice. It made me throw up,' she admitted in an interview last year, adding that she succumbed to cravings for '...french fries, grilled cheese and yoghurt.'

A somewhat more relaxed Gwynnie now munches on local, organic and seasonal food but she's also developed 'lots of lovely vices', including coffee and wine.
