Gwyneth Paltrow had just put the kids to bed and was enjoying a glass of red wine when she Skyped in from London to Rachael Ray's kitchen on Wednesday for a segment to air on Friday's Rachael Ray show.
The two wanted to team up to talk about the New York Times article "I Was a Cookbook Ghostwriter." In it, Julia Turshen said she was ghostwriter on books by each of the celeb chefs.
"You know, normally I don't respond to gossip or anything, but you know this is my professional life and I'm writing more cookbooks," Gwynnie told Rach. "And I feel like it's important for the people who have responded so positively and interacted with me about my book, that they know that this is my book and I wrote my book and it's all mine."
Added Rachael Ray, "I so strongly agree, this is how I spend the little time at home I have with my family, I spend in front of these little notebooks, in front of the computer. It sort of takes away from all of that to not be able to call that writing, of course that's writing. It doesn't mean you don't value the people who write the glossary or that help organize the pantry or that work on a project, but a writer is still a writer."
The Timessays the article "does not merit correction."
