Updated! Jessica Seinfeld: Does Oprah Endorse Cheating?

Whit Honea — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 16:00:00 GMT

I was just kidding when I compared Jessica Seinfeld to James Frey , but some people aren't laughing- namely Missy Chase Lapine, the woman that published a cookbook called The Sneaky Chef which is just like Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious, except that it was written first.

Apparently the differences are few and the similarities many- recipes and combinations, even the cover.

Does Jerry know about this? What's next, his Bee Movie was first produced by a fan-site for Honey Nut Cheerios?

And Oprah? What's her role in this?

By the way, Oprah, if you're reading this, I'm working on a book right now that I think you should consider. It's called Rocko and Julie. It's an original story about star-crossed lovers and their family feud. It has swords, poison and light through yonder windows. You'll love it!! Call me.

UPDATE: Jezebel has a great take on Seinfeld and her "defense." I would write about it, but if I copy anything else from them then I really will be endorsed by Oprah.

Babble Talk: Jessica Seinfeld is a Sneaky Cook

Jessica Seinfeld was interviewed by Gwynne Watkins for Babble regarding her new book Deceptively Delicious. The wife of Jerry Seinfeld talks about sneaking food that is good for you into food that tastes good. You know, sneaky shit. Those picky kids need to eat something healthy.

For instance, she puts vegetables in brownies. We used to do that to. Pot is a vegetable, right?

I won't even talk about mushrooms on pizza.

Hey, whatever it takes. It's got to be better than gnawing on lead toys or eating aqua dots. I won't even go into bindeez. Whatever happened to good old spinach dip and potato salad? That's like vegetables. Don't kids eat anything besides junk and recalled toys?

Jerry Seinfeld's Wife Jessica Releases a Cookbook That's Kid-Friendly

When Jessica Seinfeld couldn't get her three kids to eat healthy foods, she decided to trick them.

Oh we've all used tricks to get our spawn to swallow sprouts, but I have a feeling this little cookbook will do well. It helps that Jessica, who is as cute as a button, will be on the Oprah Show on October 8th. The book itself hits the shelves on October 5th BUT you can pre-order now for only $14.97, which is 40% off the regular price!

When the hell did Jerry Seinfeld have 3 kids?

UPDATE: Babble interviewed her!
