When celebrities feel that they are losing public interest, they begin finding other avenues for which they can get attention. Some will develop a perfume, while others will invest their time in creating a new clothing line. It seems that celebrities have now crept into the food world again not by opening restaurants but rather by writing cookbooks. Gwyneth Paltrow, Sheryl Crow and Eva Longoria have released a book in the last month and I am sure more will follow suit. The real question is, are these books any good? And the answer is yes according to Amazon reviews. All books were rated with a majority of 4-5 stars. Moreover, there were plenty respectable names such as Todd English, Mario Batali, and Bobby Flay to name a few, who gave positive reviews. I guess it's just business baby. The Washington Post wrote an article reviewing 5 celebrity cookbooks against 8 different categories such as their “vanity moment” and the ratio of photos between the celebrity and the recipes in the book. If this is any indication to a new celebrity fad, I fear for those authors who have actually devoted their life to the love of food and cooking.
