U.S. actress Gwyneth Paltrow holding a copy of her recipes book 'Notes From My Kitchen Table' poses in the B&Q Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in London, Monday, May 23, 2011.
The show garden, the tallest-ever garden at the show, showcases the notion that we should be planting and producing food wherever we can since it is estimated that food in London would run out in four days if supplies ceased.
Oscar-winning actress, “Glee” TV sensation and paparazzi magnet Gwyneth Paltrow has a foodie side, too. An avid home cook, Paltrow wrote “Spain, a Culinary Road Trip” with Mario Batali, to accompany their popular PBS food and travel series.
Now, she has a cookbook of her own: “My Father’s Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness” (Grand Central Publishing, 272 pp., $30). From simple burgers to entrees that span the globe, there’s plenty to tempt vegetarians and vegans, as well as omnivores. Families will love the frequent tips on tweaking recipes to suit grown-up and pint-size palates.
And the crab cakes with spicy rémoulade were inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants. (Paltrow’s young son, Moses, was curious about krabby patties.) The bottom line, Paltrow writes, is togetherness: “Food can be as simple as can be, even Chinese takeout — just all of us sitting together without television, BlackBerrys and the like, is gold.”
